Radical New Auto Premiere Thursday I Radical Changes From Present Car Chicago. June 18—(VPl—Be- 1 hind locked doors the controversial Tucker 18. a new and radi- ‘ cally different medium-priced auto- ( mobile, received finishing touches , today for a private premiere Here is a "sneak premiere’ of what dealers will see when they gather Thursday to look over the , pilot model which engineers report has 800 less parts than convention- , al c ars and is "skid proof." . The- car's details were learned here, as the securities and exchange commission closed hearings at Philadelphia on the Tuck-| or Corporations request for per-| mission to issue |2e.000.000 in common stock The SEC. which] had charged that the company! omitted certain material facts ini its registration statement, took t the case under advisement. ! It the SEC can prove- its charges, it has authority to prohibit sale of the stock. The Tucker has its engine in the rear of the car So-called "floating power” moves directly from the flat-opposed 6-cylinder of 150 horsepower ‘to the wheels. That eliminates the clutch, transmission and differential The car Is streamlined and stands just five feet high from road to roof. It has a 128-inch wheelbase The engineers say the car Is designed not to overturn no matter how it is driven on the highway. In addition to the usual headlights. a third lamp placed in the center of the grill is geared to! I turn with the wheels and light the way around curves. The six exhausts—one for each cylinder—are set three on a side beneath the rear bumper. Driv- ■ ing instruments are on the steer ■ ing shaft. At top speed the car I can puli down to a dead stop in | 240 feet instead of the 1.400 feet | needed by conventional cars, en-j I gineers disclosed. The single tar completed is a maroon job. The manufacturer needs $15,000,000 to hold its lease in a war surplus plant here. Preston Tucker, head of the company, testified before the- SEC yesterday that the firm planned to hire 36.000 workers. In addition. Tucker's production would provide employment for another 520,000 employes, he said. The car will sell in the medium price range — 11,800, including 11.278 F. O. H. Chicago and $522 dealer-distributor discount. And the Tucker, ’4b. it was learned today, already is on the firm's drawing boards.

Elks Membership Is Growing Fast More Than Doubled Since Pearl Harbor Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has more than doubled since Pearl Harbor, some 510,900 new applicants having been accepted during the past five years or ao. according to Hugh Holthouse exalted ruler of Decatur lodge No. 993. who hus received figures from officials of the grand lodge Elks throughout the nation now number mo e than 900.000.

One of the major reasons for the addition of thousands of young men who were In the armed services ie believed to be their experiences with various Elks canteens and hospitality centers during the war. These were located in practically all embarkation and debarkation areas, as well as most major centers of population Men and women In uniform were urged | to one their facilities. These hospitality centers offered not only social lecreatlon, but foo<l at very reasonable prices and. in many cases, sleeping accommodations. Hundredn of thousands of boys and girls away from home found temporary haven at Elks centers. Even today, more than a year and a half after hostilities ended, the Elks ae maintaining visiting services to some 14G hospitals throughout the nation. These are the institutions when men suffering from wounds and physical disabilities as a result of the war are recuperating. Elks services to these- men are not confined to mere hospital visits. InniattH who are physically able are taken on fishing trips, on tour* and for various other forms of recreation. oreover, the entire membo: ship of the Elks has addressed itself to assisting veterans in the present housing crisis The Elks had more than So.ooo members in the armed services, of whom some 2jmo were killed. The order has no religion*. political or commercial interests or activities Membership in the local lodge has kept pace with the national increase Ixidge No. 993 had 218 members when war broke out in 1941. It now numbers 300 members. By far the greater percentage of -these were men who woe the various uni- : forms of our armed services. This post-war increase in memI bersltip is in harmony with the tradition of the Elks, according to exalted iulei Holthouse. The order was founded immediately after the Civil War, when social and economic condition,* were unsettled and post-war problems were rife. It grew greatly in size, following World War I History again seems to be repeating Itself.
