GIANTS, PIGMIES VIE FOR HONORS AT AUTO SHOW New York Exhibit’s Success to Be Barometer of Business Trend. &¥ United Press NEW YORK, Jan. s.—There was * touch of Barnum <fc Bailey and the big top at the national automobile show today, the Brobdingnagians and the Lilliputians—the giants and the pigmies—being featured in celebration of international day. There arc two giant automobiles never before shown—both with six-teen-cylinders and developing up to 120 miles per hour— and a like number of pigmies, with one-quar-ter the number of cylinders and about one-half the speed. The show, while primarily a display of newest models and innovations, has a still greater significance to the automobile industry. Robert C. Graham, vice-president of the Graham-Paigc Motor Company, predicted that the succes of the sho'r will act as a barometer of the business trend of the forthcoming year. Expect Heavy Sales A tremendous purchasing power accumulated during the months of curtailed buying will be unleashed this year, he said, the public, with more than fifty billions of dollars in savings accounts, returning to normal buying. There is a great shortage of automobiles at the present time, Graham said. He predicted that more than 4,000,000 car's would be sold this year. Os the approximately 300 cars on display, nearly all of them lean toward airplane streamlining in body design, to cut down wind resistance and to present a picture of speed and power. All models are using an abundance of chromium plating this year and the colors, although leaning toward the pastel hues, run all the way from the tomato red and ivory of the speedster to the sedate black of the town car. Both th Marmon and the Cadillac are displaying for the first time a car with sixteen cylinders. The former is of foreign design, with a 200-horsepower motor and a 145-inch wheel base. The latter is more of the modernistic design and has a wheelbase three inches greater than that of the Marmon. These are the largest* and most powerful cars in the show. Baby Austin Entered The baby Austin leads in the pigmy class with the Mathis running a close second for pee wee honors. The Austin has only a seventy-five-inch wheel base and a forty-inch tread, develops about thirteen-horse power and can attain a speed of about fifty-five miles per hour. The Mathis is just a trifle larger. There is an automobile for almost any pocketbook, the prices ranging all the way from $450 for one of the miniature cars to $16,500 for the 1 giant Duesenberg town car. All cars are of American make, no foreign automobiles having been entered in the show this year. The show opened Saturday with more than 25,000 attending. SIX STATES PREPARE HOOVER DAM BATTLE Arizona Seeks Injunction to Slop Work on Project. Hu Scripps-Howard Ucicspaper Alliance, WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The legal representatives of six Colorado river basin states are gathering here this afternoon to draw final plans for their battle before the supreme court with Arizona. The case is an injunction suit to be heard on Jan. 12. AttorneyGeneral K. Berry Peterson of Arizona and two assisting lawyers, will present Arizona’s case. It prays for a permanent injunction to prevent Secretary Wilbur from going ahead with the $165,000.000 Hoover dam plans. It calls the six-state Colorado river compact and the Swing-John-eon bill unconstitutional. It objects to the apportionment of water and declares that the project robs Arizona by reason of the fact that the works of the government in Arizona are tax-free.

Two more British contenders for the world's speed record set by the late Sir H. O. D. Segrave are the racing drivers pictured at the right—“ Wizard” Smith, at the wheel, and Don Harkness, extreme right. Their car, shown above during a trial run, is named the Anzac, and has a single motor developing 1,450-horse power. This is 500horse power more than Segrave used in 1929 when his Golden Arrow averaged 231.36 miles an hour at Daytona Beach, Fla. Smith and Harkness, however, will make their attempt on Ninety-Mile Beach, New Zealand, and expect to attain a speed of 250 miles an hour.

HIGHEST COURT TO GET LIBERTY PLEA

Bank Bandit Seeks Release From Reformatory in Novel Case. ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. s.—Defeated in Madison circuit court, attorneys for Garrett Dinkla, Indiana reformatory prisoner, have filed notice of appeal to the Indiana supreme court. Dinkla seeks release on a writ of habeas corpus. The prisoner was convicted in Hendricks circuit court at Danville on a charge of having participated in the holdup of a bank at Salem. He was tried before a special jury with a special judge presiding, the regular court being occupied in the trial of the Latta insurance case. Defense attorneys now contend that the special court was without jurisdiction on the theory that there can be only one circuit court in session in the same county at the one time. Judge Carl F. Morrow ruled against the petitioner and denied him freedom because the attorneys failed to raise objection when the special court was set up. OIL FIRM OFFICIAL IS TAKEN BY DEATH Irwin C.
