Young, Norwood regional sales manager, and C. P. Fisken, Indianapolis zone sales manager, will be hosts to the Detroit officials and to the dealers, bankers and salesmen. One of the high lights of the day’s activities was a meeting of the 100Car Club of the Indianapolis zone at 9 a. m. at the Claypool, when officers for 1930 were installed. The 100-Car Club is a Chevrolet organization composed of retail salesmen who sold and delivered 100 or more new cars in 1929. Frank E. Rice, Fmakfort, is president; C. A. Starr, Anderson, vice-president; Everett Harmin, Kokomo, secretary , Everett Salmons, Kokomo, treasurer. The sales presentation this afternoon is said to be the most comprehensive thing of its kind ever attempted by an industrial organization. Talks will be illustrated by p] ay lets and the various parts will be acted by the executives from the Chevrolet central offices. The meeting today is one of a scries of forty-two similar meetings being held In key cities throughout the United States by Chevrolet. Show Will Be Elaborate More than a carload of stage equipment has been brought from Detroit for the afternoon show and every art of the theater will be employed to make the program visually effective. Thursday the Chevrolet executives will meet the members of the Indianapolis zone and at night they will leave for Louisville, where another meeting will be held Friday. Vice-President Klingler, interviewed today by a Times reporter, said: “In considering the prospects for 19C0, I take an optimistic point of view. The general forecasts appearing from so many sources, indicating business recession due to last veer’s stock market adjustment., are premature, in my opinion. “Chevrolet will sell more cars this mrn'h than in January a year a;o,” Mr. Klingler continued. “The schedule for this month had to be increased in response to the greatest reception anew Chevrolet, model has received in th" nineteenth year history of the organization. Auto Business Unharmed “The economic readjustment had little effect, on the automobile business, coming as it did at a !>oriod of the year when the production curve of the industry bends downward. Nineteen-thirty will come close to being as big as 1929, which was the largest year the industry has ever known. History has shown that the lowprice field is the least affected by icood or bad years, and the surplus r his year is practically chargeable to one manufacturer making part of his 1928 output in 1929. • Directly cn the heels of the first showing of the new Chevrolet Jan. 4 a flood of congratulatory messages poured into our home office from every part of the country. Every message told of unprecedented public interest in the new car and a consequent increase in retail sales. ‘Every message we received from the dealer organization expressed confidence that the sales this year would exceed any previous year. “On the basis of the reception accorded our car. and the renewed interest of the buying public, I can not be convinced that the automobile market is not still expanding." DEMOCRATIC GROUP STARTS ACTIVITIES Recently Organized Political Club Elects Officers at Session. Plans for the expansion of the newly formed Young Democrats’ Club will be executed during the weeks preceding the May primary, it was announced today. Tire club was formed to promote and expound principles of the Democratic party and to bind the members in ties of social contact and fraternity.” Russell Jennings Dean was elected president at the meeting held Tuesday night at the Lincoln. Other officers are Ralph A. Seal, vice-president; Joseph A Wicker, secretary, and Walter Houppert, treasurer. Directors are Rex E. Poe, Joseph McNamara, Garrett Bates. Douglas Dickie. Wesley Swails, James A. Watson and Harry B. Perkins. Meetings will be held Tuesday nights.

Not So Smart! Free Love, ‘lntellectual’ Sponsors Assailed by Pastor.

FREE love and a culture or intelligentsia that condones it were scored severely by Dr. Frederic Shannon, pastor of the Central church of Chicago, in an address before the Indiana Pastors Conference in the First Baptist church. The University of Wisconsin and a professor in that school came under the withering oratorical fire of Dr. Shannon. “A boy and a girl were found together in a room. He referred to a so-called “snooping” campaigh carried on at the Wisconsin school. A professor at the school blistered the persons who found them there, blistered his very tongue. God pity those young people! God pity the so-called culture and intellectuality that defends and teaches it. “I hplieve in the rights of teaching philosophy and sciences, but not the slimy intellectuality that is taught by the so-calleu intel- , legentsia. They remind me of people with the voices of tomcats, but without the tails of the tomcats to use for a rope. “They give me nausea. I couldn’t be one bit sicker being three days out at sea than I am in hearing of the filth and the stuff they put out today and call love,” he concluded. The conference decided to hold Its next meeting in November of this year instead of in January, 1931. Indianapolis was chosen as the conference city. At the afternoon's session, the Rev. J. H. Franklin, one of the foreign secretaries of the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society, discussed the outlook for Christian mission in China. Bishop Francis J. McConnell of New York, and Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Washington, will speak today.

•JOINT BILL TO GIVE MILLIONS FOR BOOZE LAW Alteration of Measure to Enforce Dry Act Is Not Expected. BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD United Frs Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Approximately $11,000,000 would be made available for the justice department’s prohibition enforcement activities next year by the state, jus - tice, commerce and labor department appropriation bill reported to the house today. If the measure is approved in its present form, as expected, the house will have appropriated a total of about $44,000,000 to make the Volstead law effective in the fiscal year 1931. The treasury department bill, passed last week, carried $16,000,000 for the coast guard’s anti-smuggling operations, $15,000,000 for the prohibition bureau and $2,000,000 for the customs bureau’s prohibition activities. Both treasury and justice department appropriations must be approved by the senate before they become effective, but indications are that the prohibition allotments will not be altered there. Senator Harris (Dem., Ga.), wno threatened te lead a fight to increase the enforcement fund, has indicated he will not oppose the house recommendations, When congress definitely decides what changes are to be made in prohibition machinery, Harris said, he may demand an increase in the prohibition fund as part of a deficiency supply bill. According to the estimates of Chairman Wood of the house appropriations committee, the recommendation of $11,000,000 for 'he justice department represents an increase over this year’s appropriation of about $1,000,000. The entire appropriation recommended for the justice department is $31,710,362. About one-third of this, according to Wood, is for prosecution of prohibition law violators and for care of those sent to federal prisons.

BITTER BATTLES FORECAST FOR G. 0, P. PARLEY Fifield’s Strength in Lake County Jeopardized, is Indication. BY BEN STERN County primary fights are drifting into the background in the face of strong indications of two bitter contests in the Republican state convention. Organization of a Lake County Taxpayers Association, outspoken in denunciation of Republican corruption in Lake county, is expected to jeopardize Otto G. Fifield’s chances for an undivided Lake county delegation when he seeks renomination for secretary of state. A feature of the formation of the Lake county protest organization is that the criticism of G. O. P. maladministration is led by State Senator C. Oliver Holmes, Gary banker and a Republican. Holmes’ Name Mentioned Holmes’ name has received much mention as a possible choice of anti-Fifield Republicans in Lake county for the secretaryship. The state senator repeatedly has declared that he is not a candidate, but all indications are that he will support someone who will oppose Fifield. The secretary of state is declared to be allied with the organization charged responsible for the corruption of Lake county officers, and tlais is expected to react against him. Fifield also has retained Coffin supporters in state positions and to have allied himself closely with Senator Arthur R. Robinson. Such contacts will weigh heavily agani.st Fifield when his name is presented to the convention because i of the obloquy which has attached itself to Lake county and Coffin and Robinson among Republicans from other districts of the state. Coulter Is Urged Second district organization men also are urging Thomas Coulter, judge of the Knox circuit court, to

announce as a candidate for the nomination for supreme court judge in opposition to Judge Benjamin Willoughby. Despite reports that he would not be a candidate, Willoughby has made no formal statement. Judge Coulter twice has been elected to the circuit bench in preponderantly Democratic Knox county and is extremely popular. Willoughby experienced great difficulty in obtaining support in the 1924 election and was elected by only one vote. Coulter is a colonel in the Reserve corps and served in the. Spanish-American and World wars, j If both men declare their in- j tentions of becoming candidates, a i convention fight will be precipitated. J

State Representative William Storen of Scottsburg, a member of the state budget committee, today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for treasurer of state.

DODGE OUTPUT RISES Great Production Boost in January Reported. Fu Tint' s .Special DETROIT, Jan. 22 Production increases for January totaling 133 1-3 per cent were announced today by Dodge Brothers. Orders placed by dealers at the recent national convention in Detroit, it is said, far surpassed the expectations of sales officials, and practically absorbed the entire original production volume planned for the month. Additional business resulting from the New York national automobile show necessitated an immediate increase of 33 1-3 per cent in production of the new low-priced Dodge Six and a 100 per cent increase in the output of the eight-cylinder models lo this line might maintain its relative proportion to the sixcylinder schedule. “These increased production schedules,” said C. W. Matheson, general sales manager, “bring to light the interesting fact that American industry apparently is returning to its normal stride more rapidly than was anticipated in appraisals made prior to Jan. 1.”
