FORD TO SPEND HUGE SUM FOR 1930 EXPANSION New Buildings, Equipment for Plant Embraced by $30,000,000 Program. P,y Timex Svecial DETROIT, Dec. 30.—The Ford Motor Company has placed a $30,000,000 o. k. on its 1930 expansion program. In a statement expressing confidence in the continuance of good business, Edsel Ford, president, announced the company would spend some $20,000,000 for new buildings in the next twelve months and $10,000,000 for new plant equipment. The total will not include expenditures for factories in foreign countries, he said. The huge expansion program was announced the day after the public was informed production of new Ford body models had begun and followed a wage increase for all employes announced a month ago. “The highest state of development in the history of the Ford Motor Company was reached in 1929.” the statement said, “and still further development is contemplated during 1930. Ford production for the first eleven months of 1929 totaled 1,914,842 cars, more than one-third of all the automobiles manufactured in the United States.” Expansion of plants on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts is in line with the “Ford policy of developing and utilizing water transportation wherever feasible and esconomical,” it was stated. The expansion program was seen as a move to justify in increased returns, the $20,000,000 annually required by the increased wages decided upon as an answer to President Hoover’s suggestion that industry boom prosperity during the coming year.

TARDIEU WILL DEFINE STAND Pre-Naval Parley Talk to MacDonald Slated. Bu United Press PARIS, Dec. 30.—Premier Andre Tardieu of France will meet J. Ramsay MacDonald, premier of Great Britain, in London on Jan. 19, in an endeavor to remove any fear of France’s defensive attitude at the coming naval ccnfernce.

Edge and his preconference interview with MacDonald.

CANADA FLIERS READY TO JOIN EIELSON HUNT Aviators Await Improved Aerial Conditions for Dash Into Arctic. By United Press NOME, Alaska, Dec. 30.—Three Canadian airmen will join two pilots searching for Carl Ben Eielson in the Arctic wastes near North Cape. An expedition of three Fairchild cabin planes, in charge of Captain (Pat) Reid, and with B. W. Broatch and Gifford Swartman as co-pilots, is ready to assist in the search for Eielson and his mechanic, Earl Borland, missing seven weeks. The Canadians, whose planes were brought from Seattle on a coast guard cutter, have assembled their planes, tested them in the air, and will fly to Nome or Teller to begin their search as soon as flying conditions improve. Pilots Joe Crosson and Harold Gillam, now at their base at the ice-bound trading bessel Nanuk, have been unsuccessful in their search. Only brief radio messages from the Nanuk serve to break the Artie silences with news of progress of the search, and these become fewer as the vessel’s fuel supply diminishes. At least a week is expected to pass before Soviet planes can arrive to assist in the search, in response to semi-official requests from Washington. The one month’s food supply of the missing aviators must by this time be exhausted, and unless they have found assistance from Eskimos, officials in charge of the search despaired of finding then alive.

WHITE HOUSE TO BE SCENE OF GAYEVENT Washington Society Will Celebrate With Young Hoover Tonight. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The sedate east room of the White House will sparkle with youthful merriment tonight for the first time since Alice Roosevelt gave famous parties a quarter of a century ago. Young Allan Hoover is giving a dance. The President’s 22-year-old son, home from Harvard for Christmas, has arranged for a private jazz orchestra which will supplement the marine band, and the dance promises to be one of the highlights of the Christmas social season for Washington’s younger set. About 100 guests have been invited. Washingtonians recalled today Allan Hoover’s dance will mark the first “younger set” festivity at the White House since the parties given around “the turn of the century” by Alice Roosevelt, now wife of Speaker Nicholas Longworth of the House. White House entertaining during the Wilson, Harding and Coolidge administrations was confined to formal receptions and dinner parties, attended by older persons. John Coolidge participated hardly at all in. Washington society. Although the party tonight is expected to be gay, it will not last long. It was planned only a few days ago and many guests already had accepted invitations to other affairs. Hence, it will end early so guests may go, not home, but to other and later dances.
