' NEW AUTOS TO GO ON DISPLAY IN U. SHOW Models of 1932 Resemble Greyhounds in Chromium. •#.'/ United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—The first of the annual national automobile shows opens at Grand Central Palace next week with a costly exhibition of the glittering 1932 offsprings of the industry. There has been, it is apparent, no depression in automotive ideas. New and startling color combinations, streamlining to the contours of a grayhound in flight and the extended use of chromium plating have contrived to make these models a distinct innovation. But, as usual, much of the interest will center on the “gadgets,” the quaint miscellany of accessories designed to make the road smoother for the motorist. This year the devices range from a cigar lighter that smokes its own to a red-ray lamp intended to keep windshields free of ice. Combined Lighter The cigar lighter, operated electrically, automatically takes the first few puffs to provide the necessary “draw.” Another advanced lighter combines a clock, memo pad, pencil and a holder for twenty cigarets. There are a number of so-called frost shields to be attached inside the windshield. Heated by energy from the battery, the shields form a dead air pocket, preventing fogginess on the inside of the windshield and the formation of ice on the outside because of the heat. The red-ray lamp looks like a headlight and penetrates the windshield from the inside with almost invisible rays. Many Accessories Anti-freeze solution evaporation is prevented by a simple condenser mounted on the radiator, which catches the escaping solution and returns it to the cooling system. Another contrivance gauges the freezing point of all solutions. Other accessories include: An oil conserver attached to the breather pipe of the engine, reflex rear lights *of advanced prism formation, shielded lamp bulbs to eliminate glare, metal tire covers with builtin locks, disguised radiator thermometers, overhead valve silencers and anew clamp that takes the work out of removing tires on cars with drop center rims. The show will be open here from Jan. 9 to 16, before moving to the Coliseum in Chicago. ' DRY AGENTS MAY TAKE NIGHT CLUB FIXTURES Woodcock Says Drive Is Imminent; Cites Supreme Court Decision. Bn Scrippa-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—A na-tion-wide drive by government agents to confiscate furnishings of night clubs where liquor is sold is imminent, it was disclosed today by Prohibition Director Amos W.

BRITAIN’S REVENUE IS FAR UNDER ESTIMATE Nine-Month Income Less Than Half Expected for Year. By United Press LONDON. Dec. 30. —Great Britain’s revenue for the first nine months of the fiscal year was less than half of that estimated for the full year, according to the latest exchequer returns. Expenditures practically equalled the estimate for the first nine months. It was pointed out that the last quarter of the year always is productive of revenues, and some of the deficit would be made up. The returns were: Revenue for nine months, £381,442,581; estimated revenue for the full year, £784,700,000; revenue for the corresponding period of 1930, £430,761,200. Expenditures were £564,834,056, compared with an estimate for the full year of £750,579,000. BOOZE WAR FLARES Still Tender Murdered In Cellar of Cleveland Tenement. By United Press CLEVELAND, Dec. 30.—Liquor warfare broke out anew after a long truce early today, when a still tender was murdered in an east side tenement basement. The victim, unidentified, was killed by snipers who blazed away with shotguns through a window, tossing away the guns as they fled in an automobile parked nearby. The body, its head nearly blown s.way, was found beside a 100-gal-lon still which the victim had been guarding. The killing, the first of its kind in Cleveland in months, was attributed by police to bootleg fac- ‘ tions warring over the holiday ;; trade. i POLA NEAR RECOVERY Actress to Be Released From Hospital Saturday. * Bp United P* ess SANTA MONICA, Cal..

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN SOME interesting observations as to who senators really represent when they go to Washington to do their political chores, contrary to the general thought that they are elected to serve the pee-pul, are contained in an article in a weekly publication by that omniscient self-styled “Gentleman at the Keyhole.” Os interest to Hoosiers in particular is his comment on our own two senators, James E. Watson and Artnur R. Robinson. Says the keyhole peeker: “Indiana: Watson, National Manufacturers’ Association, for which he was once lobbyist, railroad, farming; Robinson, formerly the KuKlux Klan, manufacturing and farming.” At least the paragraph Is Illuminating to those voters who tend to believe that senators, outside of their party lineup, serve no one but the voters. That Senator Jim serves the Manufacturers’ Association has been an open secret for long. It Is known that several years ago he was asked to retire from his senate post and at a large salary, some say $50,000 a year, handle all the lobbying activities of the association as its president. No doubt if the voters of Indiana reject the genial statesman, next November, the new year will find him in some capacity similar to, if not that, outlined. As for Robinson’s klan representation—that is nothing new to us out here. Keyhole expert should have added Anti-Saloon League to make complete the catalog. One thing, however, which the writer did not state, but should, of

MAP DRIVE TO ENFORCE TRUCK LIMITSSTATUTE State Cops, Highway IJoard to Co-Operate on New Weights Act. State police and highway department Joint drive to enforce the new truck weight and size limitation act will begin Jan. 1, as scheduled in the act, it was announced today by Chief Grover Garrott of the state police. The act was passed by the 1931 legislature and sponsored by John J. Brown, director of the state highway department. Meanwhile, truckmen are reported to be organizing to fight the measure on constitutional grounds. Court fight, based on the lack of legislative powers in such matters, is likely. Conference Is Held Final plans for the law’s enforcement were drafted at a conference in Garrott’s office Tuesday afternoon. Those present were Chief Garrott, Captain Howard Smith of the state police; A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent of the state highway department; Henry Campbell, highway department enforcement chief; George W. Hufsmith, deputy attor-ney-general, and Joseph O. Hoffman, attorney in the office of Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. Under the plans, state police will start enforcement of the law, working with seventy-five especially assigned men from the maintenance division of the state highway department. Scales at Knox The state police have a highway scale stationed at Knox and expect to weigh large trucks on the Chi-cago-Indiana highways which pass largely at night, according to the chiuef. Each district highway headquarters also has a scale. They are located at Greenfield, Laporte, Seyand Vincennes. A scale expert is to arrive Jan. 5, for instruction of all crews in its operation, it was announced. THIEVES’ LOOT $919 Diamond Taken at Hotel; Stores, Cars Robbed. Looting homes, automobiles and stores in the city Tuesday night, thieves obtained money and personal possessions valued at $919. Two burglars were routed while looting a radio shop and a lunch room. James Jordan, owner of a radio shop at 815 North New Jersey street, reported he was awakaned by noises early today and going downstairs, saw an intruder run through a rear door. Northing had been taken. Two men seen looting a lunch room at 1433 Commerce avenue, Tuesday night, escaped without booty before arrival of a police emergency squad. Theft of a diamond stick pin valued at SSOO from his room in a downtown hotel was reported by W. F. Regan, Bridgeport. Other persons reporting thefts and losses are: Mrs. Bettie Wilds, 37 West Twenty-first street, $140; J. M. Chambers, 929 Park avenue, $100; Louis Lesalan, 1864 Gent street, SSO, and Orval Wright, 238 East St. Joe street, $129.

course, be taken for granted, is that both senators, represent, first of all, themselves. unn Watson has been fortunate in finding a large organization such as the National Manufacturers’ to represent, but Rob by doesn’t seem able to obtain a large and rich client, no matter how he may try. Perhaps it is the fact that he does not loom so large in the senatorial picture that keeps the interests away from his door. And also perhaps it may be because he has but one vote to deliver— But, at that, you must remember that “Big Business” wants reliable merchandise for its money and that may be the reason why the junior senator still is standing on the shelf.
