SIGNAL LIGHTS GUIDE TRAFFIC IN AUTO PLANT De Soto Factory System Similar to Streets in Large Cities. In the big Highland Park plant at Detroit where the De Soto six is manufactured, a semaphore light system similar to that used by big cities throughout the nation, regulates the traffic as minature electric trains, trucks and other conveyances speed through the factory with parts of the unassembled car. The De Soto plant, one of the Chrysler Motor group, is a vivid picture of modern dynamic Industry. Built on an area of more than fifty-three acres, miles upon miles are covered daily by these material trains” over the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of feet of floor space. The signals above flash from green to red and from red to green as the operators guide them to their destinations. The building of an automobile long since has ceased to be a problem here. Huge trucks laden with materials are unloaded on the minature cars in different parts of the plant. The lights and their operators guide them safely on their way. sending a car here and another there with amazing alacrity. Now they stop for the red light above and again as a speeding *ram winds around a curve at “full speed ahead,” the automatic signal turns green for the driver and his load. Up above, however, are the huge

HUNT IS BEGUN FOR SUCCESSOR TO HINDENBURG German Millions Speculate on Retirement of Aged Warrior. BY FREDERICD KUH United Presi Staff Correspondent BERLIN, May 15.—Although Paul Von Hindenburg’s presidential term still has three years to rim, Germany’s millions already have begun to specuate over the political consequences of the grizzled warrior’s decision not to stand for re-election in 1932. Von Hindenburg was the one man in 1925 .who was able to accept the presidency to unite all the principal factions of Germany with the exception of the extremists all (parties rallied to his side and accepted him as standard-bearer of the new' Germany. The success of Von Hindenburg, military man to the core, in the presidential chair has made many turn their attention to General Von Seeckt, former commander-in-chief of the German army and the man who built up the post-war military machine after it seemed doomed to disintegration. Von Seeckt is one of the strongest men in Germany and the conservative elements already have begun to look favorably upon him as Von Hindenburg’s successor in the event the latter really decides to retire from public life. Von Seeckt was forced to resign his military command in 1927 be-

cause he flaunted the Versailles treaty in allowing the former Kaiser's grandson, FTtnce Wilhelm, to join the maneuvering troops of the German reichswehr. The Socialists may push the candidacy of Paul Loebe, youthful speaker of the reichstag, whose tact, parliamentary skill and joviality | have won him wide popularity | throughout the country. Loebe not only is a Socialist, but a pacifist, which would cause the conservatives to fight his presidential candidacy bitterly, but would give him the support of the radical factions. The skillful dealings of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the reichsbank, at the Paris reparations conference, have won him a host of friends among politicians and public. At first a member of the liberal party Schacht has been identified wuth the conservatives for some time and has linked his political destiny wuth them.
