Cole, Chevrolet general manager, said a recent two-week tour of Chevy dealers around the country convinced him the picture is brightening. Jtudebaker-Packard also found ent sales figures indicating the sluggish market may be approaching a breakthrough. Lewis E. Minkel, S-P„vice president - marketing, predicted a “strong March” for S-P dealers, particularly those in the eastern states where sales were crimped by severe winter weather. But despite the hopeful signs, the industry still has on hand a near record inventory of more than a million cars. To keep it

Vote Recount Probe Moves On To Marion MARION, Ind. (UPl)—Federal accountants and House election investigators came here today to check Grant county’s 32,000 ballots cast in the Nov. 8 sth District congressional election. The check, expected to be finished in one day, will leave only two counties to go in the 10-county district, where the House is investigating to determine whether Republican George O. Chambers of Anderson or Democrat J. Edward Roush of Huntington won the election. Chambers claims victory by 12 votes, Roush contends he won by 2. Hie investigators checked ballots in Madison County Wednesday with a one-day stop at Anderson. Most of Grant County’s votes were cast on 71 voting machines. But about 900 absent voter paper ballots were expected to occupy toe attention of the investigators. There were indications toe accountants and subcommittee members may split up Friday, half going to Hartford City and the other half to Portland to check two counties in one day and thus complete their two-week county-by-county investigation before Saturday. Questionable ballots will go to Washington for further study by toe sub-commitee, the parent House committee and others before a decision is made on whether to seat Chambers or Roush for toe next two years in Congress.

Elizabeth Taylor Vastly Improved LONDON (UPI) — Elisabeth Taylor is “virtually" out of danger and may bt out of bed in two or three weeks, her doctor said today. It was the most optimistic statement yet made since the 29-year-old movie queen was stricken with pneumonia last Saturday. Dr. Carl Heinz Goldman visited Miss Taylor this morning and reported afterward she is "virtuhlly off toe danger list.” "Her improvement has been maintained. We are cutting down on the oxygen in the respirators and her breathing is much easier," be said.

U. S. At Dead End With Chinese Reds WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States appeared today to have reached a dead end in its renewed efforts to get improved relations with Red China. Officials said the Kennedy administration would keep trying, but had little hope after the new Communist refusal to release American prisoners and to permit U.S. newsmen to enter the Redheld mainland. President Kennedy told his news conference Wednesday that he would like to see a “lessening” of tension between the two countries, but “we are not prepared to surrender in order to get a relaxation.” He was referring to the fact that the Red Chinese continue to demand as toe v.rice for any improvement in relations U.S. acknowledgment of Peiping’s right to the Nationalist-held island «f Formosa. The United States is firmly pledged to help Chiang Kai-shek hold Formosa and has no intention of abandoning that position. Barring a dramatic and unexpectjed change in the Chinese Com muhist position, toe deadlock appears certain to continue. Chinese Communist Ambassador Wang Ping-Nan at a meeting in Warsaw Tuesday with U.S. envoy Jacob D. Beam again rejected a request for release of the five Americans held by the Peiping regime and turned down a State Department proposal that 32 U.S. newsmen be permitted to enter Red China. Wang told Beam it would be “difficult” to deal with the question of admitting newsmen so long as U.S. forces “continue to oecuIpy” Formosa.
