EUROPEAN NEWS COMBINE SHOWN BY CONFERENCE Allied Agencies Operate Hand in Hand With Foreign Diplomats. BY ED L. KEEN General European Manager United Presi LONDON, Aug. 3.—ls any prooi were needed that the allied new: agencies—the European news combine of official, semi-official anc other agencies—are the recognizee mouthpiece of European 'governments, it was generously supplied al the recent Warsaw conference ol that organization. The meeting was held at the. invitation of the Polish government, extended through the official Polish Telegraph Agency, a member of the combine. Between sessions the delegates, who were all principal executives of member agencies, were entertained by the government with dinners, garden parties, excursions on the historic Vistula and with a visit to Cracow. Propagandist Chairman The first action of the conference was to elect unanimously as its presiding officer M. Grzybowski, head of the Polish government’s propaganda department. Grzybowski is the government official to whom is generally attributed responsibility for the drastic domestic press decree recently promulgated in Poland, and which is patterned after Mussolini’s famous restrictions. The governmental affiliations of the organization were repeatedly emphasized, one of the most significant features being a speech to the delegates by the Polish foreign min-: ister, Auguste Zaleski, in which he characterized the allied news agencies as organs which supplement the ministries of foreign affairs of European governments which “without your efficacious aid would be deaf instruments, devoid of resonance and echo.” Special attention had been attracted to this Warsaw meeting, among European editors, in view of the general press conference which is to begin in Geneva, on Aug. 24, under auspices of the League of Nations. Question Exclusiveness The leading newspapers of the world, news agencies and press associations—both allied and independent—and the official press bureaus of various governments will be represented at the Geneva conference, which will discuss the resolutions adopted at the preliminary meeting of news agencies and press associations at Geneva last sumiAer. The most important of these resolutions was the one in which it was declared that “official news emanating from governments of State institutions cannot be made the subject of any exclusiveness.” There was considerable speculation among European editors as to whether any attempt would be made at the recent Warsaw conference of the allied agencies to upset what their members had agreed to at last year’s Geneva meeting.

Secret Conference The conference at Warsaw was held in secret; none of the proceedings was published, and the only information divulged was that obtained by methods more or less'successfully employed in reporting executive sessions of the United States Senate. In this way it was learned that nothing was formally done by the delegates to interfere with the resolutions to which their colleagues had assented at Geneva. However, there was much private discussion and not a little dissatisfaction expressed by delegates who felt that if deprived of exclusiveness of official news, the efficiency of their organizations might be jeopardized. Since the Warsaw meeting, quite a movement has developed among the allied agencies against the ratification of this resolution by the forthcoming general press conference at Geneva —or, if it is not found possible or expedient to kill the resolution at least to have the conference place such an interpretation upon it as would render it innocuous. Fear Competition Although most of the time of the Warsaw conference was devoted to routine matters, the inroads made in the past two years, since the last allied conference which was held at Rome, by the independent news agencies and press associations in the territories parceled out among the allies as their special fields came in for considerable attention. In this discussion the United Press, which is now delivering a comprehensive world-wide news service direct to leading newspapers in thirteen European countries, was singled out for particular comment. It was left, however, to the organization’s central committee of seven, on which Reuters, Wolff, Havas, and the Szecho-Slovakian and Swiss Telegraph agencies are permanent members, to devise ways and means of combating this new menace of competition.

MORE ROOM IN OAKLAND GARS New Models Have Appearance of Greyhound. A car of entirely new design, larger, more powerful and roomier than its predecessors, is being presented in Indianapolis and throughout the country this week in the Oakland All-American Six. With a wheelbase of 117 inches, anew engine, new chassis, new Fisher bodies, new Duco colors and many advanced engineering features, the new Oakland is attracting much attention. The new car presents a sleek, greyhound apearance and has been designed and proved, on the General Motors proving ground, by General Motors engineers. Larger Balloons, Smaller Wheels The low slung features of the car is emphasized by a high, narrow, radiator, sweeping full crown fenders, lower running boards, oblong windows on the closed models and especially by larger balloons on smaller wheels. The radiator emblem is an eagle rampant. The long familiar vacuum tank system of gas feeding has been replaced by a force pump, combined with a gasoline filter. Anew tank of thirteen gallons capacity provides ample fueling facilities for unworried journeys of great length. Headlights are of the tilt-ray type, foot controlled by a switch on the foot boards. Line Displayed Here Appointments in the closed models are of the type found in the highest priced cars, embossed leather smoking kits and satin finish dome lights add to the beauty of the fourdoor sedan. The complete line of the new-All-American Six will be on display at the salesroom of Robinson-Thomp-son, Inc., distributors, at 1025 North Meridian street. The associate dealers also will show the new models. The associate dealers are Jones & Maley, 3551 Massachusetts Ave.; McGinty Oakland Sales, 111 Kentucky Ave.; Elliott-Anthony, Inc., 2119 E.

CHEVROLET IS MAKING RECORD

Production Reaches New High Figures. Chevrolet production for July raised the total volume for the first seven months of this year to nearly par with its entire output for 1926, in which year Chevrolet established an all-time production record for the manufacture of gear shift cars. Production for the month just ended totaled 89,569 units as against 50,994 units for July, 1926, an increase of 75.65 per cent. This percentage of gain over the corresponding month of last year was greater in July than in any other month so far into 1927. The next highest month was February, when this year’s figures revealed an increase of 67 per cent over February, 1926. July volume brings production for the first seven months of this year to 697,318 units; whereas in the entire year of 1926 the total volume was only 728,697 units, indicating that at the present rate of output the figures for last year will be passed before August gets fairly under way. Chevrolet officials were confident, in- view of this extraordinary showing, that by the close of the year the total volume for 1927 would approach very closely to the million mark. American-made cars won first and second places in a recent ten-days’ reliability run held in Australia, covering 1,475 miles. An American car also won the dependability trial.

TOURISTS FLOCK TO ASHEVILLE, ‘LANDJIF SKY’ City Is Center of Network of Roads; Natural Wonders Numerous. Bli NEA Service ASHEVILLE, N. C., Aug. 3. Smooth, broad concrete and macadam roads wind in gradual grades up and down mountain sides, taking the traveler over a country that is a revelation to him. It is western North Carolina, in “The Land of the Sky,” so replete with natural wonders and the products of man’s genius that tourists flock to it from all sections of the country Asheville, its center, has therefore become a metropolitan city, a resort center where the sports season starts early and ends late in he year. Mountains on Each Side This city itself is 2,500 feet above sea level, in the healthful atmosphere of the Blue Ridge range. Yet it is in a veritable hollow, rimmed by towering mountains on all sides. Highest of these is Mt. Mitchell, rising 6,711 feet above sea level, the highest point east of the Rockies. Other peaks rise to the south, the west and the east and meet together in the Blue Ridge of North Carolina, the beginning of the long range of the Appalachians. Hardly a mile in this whole area is level. Valleys and hills abound, with their running streams and pine-covered heights. Wenders of Nature To the west, on the Tennessee line, is the Great Smoky range that opens up a tremendous area of forest land for the rapture of tourists. It is the new national forest of the east, one of the greatest and most impressive of the country. Here are 450,000 acres of forest and other natural wonders, much of it accessible only by horseback or foot, but a large part of it being opened up to the motorist-. Pisgah National Forest is another wonder of nature, stretching from the southwest to Asheville across to the northeast, and including an array of mountains and valleys that can be met in few other regions. Roads Like Ribbons Out of Asheville, the roads are like ribbons. They stretch in all four directions, toward Knoxville on the Dixie Highway to the west, Atlanta and Columbia, S. C., to the south, Wilmington and other large cities to the east, Roanoke and Washington to the northeast, and Cincinnati to 4 the northwest. Which ever way the motorist turns, out of this city, there are beauty and variety in the natural scenery. Only a little ride to the south and southeast, past Hendersonville or over Hickory Nut Gap and the Lake Lure region, takes the motorist into the lower rolling country of the Piedmont district and on to the lower, flatter land of the coast. Driving Is Easy To the north and the west, the drive is over craggier, more rolling country, but in nearly every case the driving is smooth and the climb is easy for almost any type of car to make in high. Great engineering feats have been accomplished in making this country accessible under all conditions. Asa result many more thousands of tourists have come here than ever before. White Tops Coolest Research in the Bureau of Mines at Pittsburgh reveals that white automobile tops are much cooler than those of other colors. Also, it was found that occasional sprinkling reduced the temperature by 8 to 12 degrees. Right of Way Hurts Os the fifty-three cases of accidents listed by the Automobile Club of Southern California, breaking the right of way rule got the greatest percentage. Figures show that 23 per cent resulted from violation of this rule.

KEY WEST_.^*u-wrg^ J The word of Governor John W. Martin of Florida is given that the highway over the Florida keys to Key West will be completed with the construction of two bridges over the deep water gaps between Lower Matecumbe Island and No Name Key. This “Overseas Highway” is 80 per cent completed, and ferries now take the place of the future bridges. The bridges will cost between eight . and ten million dollars. NEW DODGES SELL FAST Good Demand for Four-Cylinder Model Is Reported. Evidence of the public's reception of Dodge Brothers new four-cylin-der line is to be found in the large volume of orders received. On the two days immediately following the formal annnouncement orders were received for approximately $3,250,000 worth of new sedans alone. This was the only body type introduced. Within a short time a coupe will be in production. Later a cabriolet roadster will be added to the line.

European touring clubs, constituting the ‘Alliance,’ and with- which we have reciprocal relations, have noted a big increase in the number of American cars on the highways of the old world.” Reasons for the big increase given by the association follow: “First, the International Touring Alliance has facilitated the circulation of foreign cars abroad and simplified customs requirements ana the business of securing triptlques for accredited American motorists. •‘Second, several of the large steamship companies have made special provisions for transporting cars uncrated as baggage and at reasonable prices, including insurance costs. “Third, European resort and touring areas, in many instances sup ported by local governments, have been conducting a world-wide advertising campaign, but particularly directed at United States prospects, and the fruits of which campaign are now manifesting themselves.’*
