F—10 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, - D. C, OCTOBER 20, 1935—PRART .FOUR. NEW CARS TO STRESS SAFETY GAINS : AVIATION NEWS Many Changes Relate To Greater Security Manufacturers Challenge Validity of Crit- ijcism They Have Done Little for Pro- tection of the Public. i By G. Adams Howard. O mounting traffic toll, In connection with safety in automobile design, the industry marshals #n array of features which it believess can resist the challenge of its critics. | They were laid end to end for" ‘the | edification of all who cared to examine them during the past week by William 6. Knudsen, executive vice president of the General Motors Corp., in a gpeech before the National Safe".y Council’'s annual meeting at Louis- ville, Ky. He enumerated the follow- 4ng developments which will be on display en masse at the Washington Automobile Show November 2 to 9: | Four - wheel brakes, multi - beam headlights, closed bodies with steel tops and shatter-proof glass, ventilat- ing systems, independently sprung wheels, self-starters, syncro-mesh and constant mesh transmissions, vastly {mproved warning signals and a host of similar developments. These safe- guards in motor vehicle operation have developed along with the tend- ency toward the higher speed which Mr. Knudsen refuses to accept as a just basis for indicting the car manu- facturer. “The public’s demand for speedy transportation,” he said, “is reflected tn the faster airplanes capable of cruising at 200 miles an hour; in| streamlined trains capable of 100 miles an hour; in reduced schedules of standard trains between Chicago | end New York and in bigger ocean | liners capable of crossing the At- lantic in less than four days.” Referring specifically to the lov\cr‘ gpeed argument voiced in some critical | quarters, the motor magnate declared: “Suppose that the average maxi-| mum speed capacity today is 85 miles | an hour. and suppose it were cuu back to 60, how much reduction would result? Some, no doubt, but there is &till room for doubt that any major improvement would result. “I submit that the car itself can end does offer a pretty clean record; that the manufacturers already have *done something’ about safety: that| we should go slow in assuming that the capacity for high speed per se is the cause for accidents, and that we should go slow in recommending restrictive legislation which might im- pair the usefulness of our friend, the sutomobile, and still not correct the | eccident situation.” | Individual safety items—new for 1936—will receive considerable stress when the manufacturers present their latest wares. A few of them already are being heralded in the highways and by- ways of the country, among them a new steering stabilizer which con- tributes to easier and more precise | handling in taking curves and turn- ing corners: a new interconnection between shock absorbers on opposite eides of the vehicle, front and rear, | to prevent chassis and body sway; | and increase in steering ratios to give more positive control; and, in the case of one popular line of cars, the adop- tion of two torque rods at the front which lift from the springs all driv- ing stress and absorb breaking torque. There will be others to augment the manufacturer’s argument that he is doing everything in his power to keep his car's safety performance propor- tionate to advances made in other aspects of its prowess. Prosperity in the automobile indus- try during 1935, represented in the sale of more passenger cars and trucks than in any year since 1930, extended down to the factory worker. This fact is heralded in a state- ment by the Automobile Manufac- turers’ Association, whose statisticians have calculated that the annual earn- ings of the average regular employe in the industry will, by the end of 1935, exceed $1,300. Significantly, the industry's state- ment stresses the point that in terms of “real income,” that is to say, pur- chasing power, this will at least equal the individual earnings in the year 1929. The industry's statement fol- lows: Figures for the first 10 months of the 1935-model production season, compared with a similar period for 1934, show average earnings of in- dividual automobile workers increased 28 per cent while wholesale sales of cars and trucks increased just 26 per cent during the same time. In view of the unusually well sus- tained demand for cars during the close of the 1935 season, an even greater percentage improvement in individual earnings is expected for the entire production year. A primary cause of this improve- ment for the individual worker has been a big increase in the proportion of jobs lasting the best part of the year, made possible by eliminating most of the temporary employment which characterized the industry in 1934. It is estimated that not more than 10 per cent of the employes on the rolls in 1935 have been tem- porary or part time workers. Several outstanding features of the first 10 months of the 1935-model production season, developed from the preliminary calculations, are listed below: 1. Marked increase in continuity of employment for the individual worker, resulting in an increase of three weeks work for the average employe (including temporary workers) during this period. 2. Average hourly wage rates at a new high of 73.7 cents, compared to 69.6 cents the previous year. Average weekly hours simultaneously increased to 37 from 34 the previous year. 3. A 10 per cent increase in average monthly employment, without increase in the grand total number of men given work during the year, a further evidence of increase of stability. 4. A decrease of more than one- third in the proportion of men laid off, discharged, or who quit during the year. 5. A substantial decrease in the month-to-month variation in the em- ployment of the industry. Since there was no corresponding stabilization in the demand for cars at wholesale, this greater labor stability is due almost entirely to more careful planning of employment and production. N THE eve of its presentation of its new models for 1936, the auto- mobile industry has served notice that it not only intends to stress their greater inherent safety but also to give factual answer to those who level criticism too particularly at the car in connection with the | equipped to turn out new models. 6. Total pay roll disbursements for the 10-month period were $378,802,000, kich is 26.7 per cent higher than the € pay rolls of the first 10 months of 1934 production. 7. The 28 per cent increase in aver- age individual earnings occurred dur- ing a period when cost of living in automobile manufacturing cities rose only 6 per cent, representing a net gain of roughly 20 per cent in the em- ployes’ real incomes or purchasing power. 5. A 25 per cent decline in the fre- quency and severity of industrial| accidents. ‘The production year figures cited do not show parallel calendar months, but | take for the start of each production | year the month of lowest employment when a majority of plants are being Since the 1935 production season got under way about a month earlier than did the 1934 season, the result would have been distorted if a parallel cal- endar month basis had been used, and would have slightly exaggerated the improvement in the industry from 1934 to 1935. It should be noted that in making the above calculations on the average earnings of the workers, employes meving from one company to another have been counted at each place of emplovment. Thus one man working in three plants during the 10 months | | is counted necessarily as three men, | each working one-third of the time. As a result, the averages given here per employe are lower than they| | would have been if it were possible to | follow each man’s actual employment | | and earnings throughout the year. The improvements listed above have | all been accomplished by advance manufacture of sub-assemblies, inter- departmental transfers of workers, and better planning in the individual plants in the industry. | The major effort of the industry toward stabilization of employment and increase in the income of the in-| dividual worker wiil begin with the | early introduction of 1936 models in the next few weeks. If this innova-| tion brings the benefits for whlch; the industry hopes, the economic| status of the individual factory work- ers in the industry will show even further improvement in the 1936 pro- duction year. Nine hundred Ford dealers and salesmen, who came to Washington from all points in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia embraced in the Washington Branch of Ford Motor Co., attended & pre-showing of the 1936 Ford cars and trucks at the Mayflower Hotel last Tuesday. Fol- lowing a morning meeting, in which motion pictures played an important part, there was a luncheon for the Ford men and invited newspaper rep- | resgntatives. An afternoon meeting completed the day's activity for the gathering. Speakers included T. E. McDonnell, sales department, Ford Motor Co., Dearborn; C. R. Mullan, manager, and H. M. Cunningham, manager, Washington Branch, Ford Motor Co. ‘The opening of a new branch office in Baltimore has just been an- nounced by the Reynolds & Reynolds Co. of Dayton, manufacturers of ac- counting systems and supplies for au- tomotive dealers. A former Washing tonian, N. E. Duehring, has been placed in charge of this office. Duehring was for some years on the staff of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce here, and more recently was acting State N. R. A. officer for Missouri. All models of the 1936 Chevrolet will be shown for the first time on November 2, W. A. Rogers, vice- chairman of the General Motors Deal- ers’ Exhibit Committee, said yester- day. The new cars will be placed on display simultaneously at the General Motors’ exhibit at the May- flower and at all dealers’ store rooms. No features of the new models will be disclosed until that date, Mr. Rogers said. The Chevrolet will be the last of the 1936 General Motors cars to go on display, all others being sched- uled for showing in advance of the show dates. Distributers and dealers of .the Chrysler motor cars met Tuesday at the Shoreham Hotel. The meeting was preceded by a luncheon, after which was the discussion of plans for the 1936 new car market. Speak- ers and factory men present were: J. W. Frazier, vice president and general sales manager of Chrysler Sales Corp.; Burch Greene, director of advertising; R. M. Rowland, East- ern divisional sales manager; W. A. Hillman, director of service, and Capt. E. D. C. Hearne, engineer sales man- ager of the Chrysler sales staff, and F. M. Hunt, Philadelphia regional manager of the Chrysler sales, was the toastmaster. There were over 400 dealers and distributers present and the goal for the coming year was set at 170,000 Chryslers and 200,000 Plymouths. Foreseeing 1936.as probably the second best year in the history of the automobile industry, the Hudson Motor Car Co. has set its goal for the year at 100 per cent increase over its 1935 business, and will use its strongest advertising and sales campaign in several years to achieve this end. This was made known recently by M. M. Roberts, sales promotion man- ager, who came here from Detroit to present his company’s greatly aug- mented program to Hudson and Ter- raplane dealers and salesmen from throughout this section of the coun- try. A preview of the new cars was a feature of the meeting. New Bicycles Speedy.

Morrison was the builder of the church, and many will recall the accident which occurred on August 22, 1888, when the tower of the beautiful edifice col- lapsed at about the time the building was completed. “Tl-ll colored watchman,” accord- ing to The Star, “was the only witness of the catastrophe. He was standing on the opposite corner of the street shortly before 5 o’clock this morning. He felt, he told a Star re- porter, that the tower was going to fall. It had been cracking and set- tling. He was therefore on the watch, and spent the greater part of the night in the street. Just before the tower fell, he said he saw the west side, & short distance above the doorway, bulged out. Then the stones corre- been withdrawn, came tumbling to the ground.- The earth shook with the force of the concussion and a roar filled the air, then clouds of dust fol- ‘lowed.” Fortunately, no one was hurt, and Air Corps Reserve Drive For Expansion Is Backed Association Cites Need for Bringing Military Defense System Up New Laws Asked. to Higher Standard.

Merchant of ‘Washington, who was elected national secretary of the association at the Louisville meeting, has returned with the report that extensive plans were made to continue the association’s campaign for better equipment and facilities for the training and main- tenance of the Air Corps Reserve as active tactical squadrons which would be immediately available for emer- gency duty. “The association feels,” Capt. Mer- chant said, “that the Air Reserve con- stitutes the first line of national de- fense and that its present equipment and training facilities are entirely in-! adequate to enable it to perform the task that would be assigned to it in a national emergency.” The association will work not only for necessary legislation, but also for the unified support of all national and local organizations and individ- uals interested in the establishment of an adequate air defense. Capt. Merchant was the only local officer elected to a national post in the association. Other national offi- cers elected at Louisville are Capt. A. M. Woody, Louisville, president; Capt. William H. Beatty, Birmingham, Ala., vice president; Lieut. John F. Turner, | | Oakland, Calif., treasurer, and Maj. Peter C. Boston, judge ad- vocate. Borre, The meeting was attended by Air| Corps Reserve officers from all parts of the country, representing all corps area departments. Among the speak- ers were Brig. Gen. Oscar Westover, assistant chief of the Army Air Corps; Maj. Robert L. Walsh, chief of the Reserve Division, Army Air Corps, and his assistant, Capt. R. C. W. Blessley. International rivalry in the air makes it imperative that the United States take immediate steps to strengthen and develop its great for- eign and domestic air transport sy tem, in the opinion of Senator Wi liam G. McAdoo of California, presi- dent of the National Aeronautic As- sociation. France, Great Britain, the Nether- lands and Germany are this Nation's leading rivals in the race for develop- ment of foreign markets in South and Central America and in China, Senator McAdoo pointed out. “Of the total scheduled air services | throughout the world—estimated to exceed 225,000 miles—the United States operates 28'; per cent,” Sen- | ator McAdoo said. “Our foreign avia- tion interests are much greate: road N VIEW of unsettled world conditions and the general efforts being made defense systems up to a high standard of efficiency, the Air Reserve Association will undertake a vigorous cam- paign to obtain congressional legislation necessary to provide adequate facilities for the Army Air Corps Reserve, it h; result of the annual meeting of the Nation: been announced here as a Council of the assoclation, than at home, as we now control and operate 36,000 miles of acheduled air services in foreign territory, as com- pared with 28,000 miles within our borders. | “America is the most isolated of all | nations. We must fly across 6,000 miles of water to reach Asia and one- half as much to Europe. Competing air transport systems fly over land in practically all of their operations. * Al immense commercial empire is, at | stake and we must mobilize our ‘full resources if we are to maintain .eur present leadership in this new fleld of trade by alr. If European nations need world-wide air transport sys- tems, how much more we do!” France, Senator McAdoo said, now operates 26,000 miles of airlines out- side her borders, while Great Britain has bullt up a foreign air system totaling 20,000 miles and the Nether- lands one of 12,000 miles. The Luf- |thansa Lines operate 13,000 miles of .llnllys outside of Germany and these operations now are being extended into South America, as are those of “Air France.” American airlines have been ex- tended during the past seven years to Central America, Mexico, South Amer- |ica, the West Indies, Canada and | Alaska. This country now has 1,700 miles of airlines in Alaska, 300 miles |in Hawaii and 1,000 miles in the Philippines. Nearly 3000 miles of lines have been established by Pan- American Airways, in co-operation with the Chinese National Govern- ment in China. | “South American markets today are the battleground for competing air | transport systems and the European | lines have brought this vast market to within five or six days of Europe,” it | was explained by the National Aero- nautic Association. “This makes pos- | sible much faster contact between South America and trans-Atlantic countries than with the United States.” Pan-American Airways, Senator Mc- Adoo pointed out, has pioneered the | foreign air transport field for the | United States and has established a | vast system which carries on opera- tions in widely varying climates and over every type of terrain. The com- | pany has a staff of 3,000 members in | 32 countries and colonies.

Command of the new 14th Bombard- ment Squadron, stationed at Bolling Pield, has been assigned to Capt. Hes McClellan, Army Air Corps, who has received temporary promotion to the rank of major. Maj. McClellan dur- ing the past Summer completed an air tour of Alaska which ranks as one of the finest individual flights of re- cent years. It was made in a stock amphibian transport plane taken off the line at Bolling Field, without spe- cial equiffiment of any kind and wjth no advance arrangements in Alaska for fue] or servicing. At one stop he made in Gentral Alaska the only fuel available was of such dubious looking quality that Maj. McClellan poured some of it out on a plank, stood back at s safe distance, lighted & match and tossed it into the puddle to see whether the stuff would burn. That match fell into the sup- posed gesoline and went out with a hiss! Nothing better being available, however, the major poured some of the fluid into the tank, took off with the aid of the last remaining high- test gas in his reserve tank snd then switched to the new supply, expecting the engines to stop or blow up or do almost anything but run normally. The engines, accustomed to a dainty thoroughbreds and purred right on, he reported. b4 Maj. McClellan made some beautiful | motion picture recordings of high | lights of his trip. These pictures were shown to local Air Corps Reserve offi- cers at the first training conference & the season. Capt. Lester J. Maitland, hero of the first Hawaiian flight and former | operations officer at Bolling Field, also has received a temporary promotion to the rank of major and assignment to command the 8th Attack Squadron, Barksdale Field, La. ‘The wholesale permanent Army pro- motions recently authorized by Con- gress and the War Department have brought advances in rank to many Air Corps officers on duty in Wash- | ington or formerly stationed here. Eight lieutenant colonels, three of whom now are serving in the tempo- Tary rank of brigadier general, have been promoted to full colonelcies. They are Henry Conger Pratt, Gerald Clark Brant, Ira Longanecker, Frank Maxwell Andrews, Oscar Westover, Henry Black Clagett, Jacob Earl Fickel and Rush Blodgett Lincoln. Among the 32 Air Corps majors promoted to the permanent rank of lieutenant colonel are Martin F. Scan- lon, commanding officer, Bolling Field, and Howard C. Davidson and Harvey 8. Burwell, both former commanders of the local post. = Scores of lieuten- ants were advanced in rank. 'Kinlman Reef, tiny dot #in nlmast; the exact geographical center of the | Pacific Ocean, today has assumed a | prominent place on the aviation map of the world, although in the past it has been too small and isolated to show on any general map. } Because of its position on the line between Honolulu and Aukland, New Zealand, the lonely little reef has come to assume an important place in the plans for air transport con- on earth remaining to be developed | for air travel. It is reported by the P: cific’ Press Bureau that British dviation interests are approaching an under- standing with Pan-American Airways which is expected to assure an airline from Hawaii to New Zealand. Pan- American Alrways, it was said, will operate the line as far as Aukland, where it will tie into British-operated systems to Australia and thence m; London by way of India, making avail- able to the air traveler one of the world’s most unusual trips. At Hono- lulu the line will connect with the line now being developed by Pan- American Airways from California to | China. | Between Honolulu and Aukland two | stops are planned, the bureau re- | ports—one at Kingman Reef and the other at Pago Pago, from which the | United States Navy administers the | affairs of American Samoa. King- | man Reef, American territory, is 1,000 miles south of Honolulu and 6 degrees north of the Equator. The little reef came to the Unlted\ pilot’s license could be in an automo- bile or other accident not associated with aviation, or suffer from an {ll- ness which might run as long as 23 months, and upon recovering resume flying on his license, it was pointed out.
