C, WEDNESDAY, Auto Dealers Suggest Civilian 'Jeep’ as Shorfage Solution Five-Passenger Vehicle Could Be Manufactured To Sell Below $1,000 B> the Associated Press. A clvilian counterpart of the Army “jeep”—with certain refine- ments as & concession to comfort— was suggested today by officials of the National Automobile Dealers’ Association as a possihle answer to the new-car shortage. ‘The suggestion came from L. Clare | Cargile, Texarkana, Tex, president of the association, and Arthur Cen- ter, Springfield, Mass., its secretary, as a House committee resumed hearings on the effect of new-car production curtailment on the Na- tion's 44,000 dealers. The small, rough-and-ready ve- hicle—the answer to any college freshman’s prayer—would probably be called the “victory car” and be produced by leading automobile manufacturers under no trade name. Would Carry Five Passengers. It would be large enough for five passengers, maybe with a little crowding, and would be devoid of | costly accessories, nickel or chrome | trim and other gadgets adding to cost. But if built to the specifications of Army cars it could climb most any hill with a top to it, splash fearlessly through the deepest mud and in general negotiate terrain | usually shunned by everything with- | out fur or feathers. | “It would be built primarily for | service, not for looks, and to meet a need for transportation when pres ent cars wear out and comparable replacements are not available,” said Mr. Center. “It would be strictly an economy car, with six cylinders and low upkeep.” | Mr. Cargile sald the automobile industry, despite the conversion of much of its machinery for the pro- | duction of airplanes and other de- | fense material, could make enough victory cars to meet essential needs, and still not interfere with defense requirements. Cost Under $1,000. ‘The jeep-in-mufti should be made to sell for less than $1.000, he added, | and could be made available to the public under a limited rationing order so that any | tually needed a car, regardless of | his priority rating under present | regulations, could obtain one. “Probably a few hundred thousand a year could be made” he said.| “They could be distributed through | | existing dealer distribution chan- i nels on a proportionate basis, and ‘would go & long way toward solv- one who ac- JANUARY 14, 1942. Five More Officers 0f General Aniline Ousted by Treasury Naturalized Germans Barred From Contact With Dye Company BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—The Treas- ury Department in a sudden move yesterday ordered suspended from office and barred from company vestigation for possible German in- fluences. In addition, the order forbade any company officials or employes from communicating with the suspended men without prior written consent of a Treasury representative. Although Treasury agents had been in virtual control of the com- pany’s operations since early last December, the blow struck without warning, an executive said, and without immediate explanation. The action was taken under the order freezing Axis assets. ‘The men suspended were Rudolph Hutz, a director; Hans Aickelin, a vice president and former director; William H. Vom Rath, vice president and former secretary and director; F.

(Signed) J.

But there are errors of the | . nrorence yesterday that this pro- present which we can and must cor- rect at once. “For instance, in the United States | our unparalleled productive facili- ties are but partially used. Whole areas of industry are unconverted to | war needs. | “If we give our soldiers and sailors | the materials of war with which to fight none of us doubts that they | will defeat the armed forces of the | aggressors, But that will not be | enough in the end.

This cannot be ac- | complished through pious platitudes. |1t can only be accomplished if it is | first realized that the necessary areas | | of trade for the fruitful functioning of a modern, scientific economy, like the areas of attack in a modern, scientific war, have greatly expanded. Barriers Obsolete. “Hitler has realized this. His aim in Europe has been to reorganize | the entire continent as a single trade area under German domination. | The Nazis would be masters and | everybody else would be slaves, but i all would belong to a unified econ- | omy. We should not let our aversion to the Nazi philosophy and its brutal methods blind us to the merits of enlarged areas of economic unity. We know that such areas will be created in the new world because they must be. The basic question is whether they will be created by the democratic process or by the totalitarian method. “Above all things we must not underestimate our enemies. There was a lot of loose talk before Pearl Harbor about mopping up the Japa- nese with one hand in a few weeks, in which our own naval authorities flamboyantly indulged. We are pay- ing dearly for that overconfidence. but we still haven't fully absorbed the lesson. “While false optimism and half- hearted efforts would be disastrous, there should be no reason for de- spair. Our potential strength in man power and resources is infinitely greater than that of our enemiees. More than that, we have a tremen- dous spiritual advantage because free men fighting for the freedom are strengthened by a moral force which regimented robots can never understand. The future demands difficulties and _discouragements ahead and an acknowledgment of the cost to each of us, but our own ill to victory tells us that we shall “The structure of totalitarian effi- ciency is.imposing on the outside, but it is built on sand.

Parity prices are those designed to yield farm income equa! to that of 1909 to 1914. Pregident’s Choice. House coaferees said privately that the House bill, once described by an administration lieutenant as a “monstrosi’y,” now appeared to be the choice, of the President, rather than the genate measure which Senator Barckley, the Democratic leader, called a “farm relief bill.” House merubers said they regarded the Bankhead amendments as much | less impo: t than that of O'Ma- honey becadse the President, as “boss” of both Mr. Wickard and Price Administrator Henderson, should be able to adjust disagree- ments betwesn them.

Defense Sidelights Churches Expected to Have Key Role In Civilian Defense Program Churches have a key role in the civilian defense program, the Rev. Francis McPeak. executive director of the social welfare department of the Washington Federation of Churches, said today. Facts about local churches, which the department has compiled, are proving of value in studying the use of these edifices for feeding sta- tions, air-raid shelter and emer- gency bilieting, Mr. McPeak said. The reference material includes maps showing the location of more than 400 churches by census tracts and data on the type of structure, the number and kind of rooms, kitchens, heating and other facili- ties. Mr. McPeak added: “Because they include well-knit and smoothly functioning groups, as well as because of their facilities, churches may be expected to pro- vide natural channels for many civilian defense activities. “This has been shown very clearly through the recent experience in Great Britain, where the clergy and pastoral workers of all kinds have turned out unreservedly in the meet- ing of communal needs. Over there they are writing a new chapter on the scope of services which link a church to the welfare of its com- munity. ‘Washington's defense will be dis- cussed by Chairman Randolph of the House District Committee at a supper meeting of the Federation of Businessmen’s Associations at 6:30 pm. tomorrow at the Hay-Adams House. Guests will include Harry N. Stull, president of the Federa- tion of Citizens’ Associations, and Harry S. Wender, vice president. William J. Mileham is president of the business federation. A department has been estab- lished to co-ordinate the seven-fold war service program of B'nai B'rith, Henry Monsky, national president, announces. The seven fields in- clude civilian defense, Red Cross sponsorship, participation in com- | munity meetings and war service rallies, assistance to Government agencies, collaboration in Army and Navy welfare work, stimulating the sale of defense bonds and stamps and contributions to war relief agencies. More than 5000 members of B'nai Brrith and of its youth organization, Aleph Zadik Aleph, are serving in the armed forces.
