Mystery Beauty, Insult Aid, Barred by Turkey By Initrd Press ISTANBUL, Turkey, April 4.—Samuel Insult, querulous, despairing, but still fighting extradition, moved to replenish his empty war chest today unknowing that Mme. Zehra Couyoudjoglou. mystery beauty, had tried to land here to aid him and had been turned away.

Calling on the remnants of his $100,000,000 utilities fortune to save him, Insull, through his lawyers, cabled to London for SIO,OOO. It W'as revealed that when he landed here he had but ten Turkish pounds. He kept his spirits by conferring with his attorneys on plans to defeat plans of the Turkish and American goverments to send him to the United States for trial for fraud. The lawyers gave him some hope, but all government and judicial authorities seemed agreed that he had made his last stand and lost. Officials awaited a warrant from American Ambassador Tobert P. Skinner and were ready to turn him over to agents of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice or any other qualified agent. Mme. Couyoumdjoglou tried to land here and was told to keep on to Athens. She sailed from Athens last week for Rumania, hoping to get the aid of Mme. Madge Lupescu, King Carol's sweetheart, and arrange for Insull to obtain a haven in Rumania. When she arrived at Costanza yesterday, she was prevented from going on to Bucharest and sent back home. Her failure to land was a body blow to Insull's hopes, though he did not even know of her arrival. Kef uses Hotel Bill Insull was in deep despondence today. He told his lawyers that he did not fear American justice, but political enejnies—“especially since the Democratic victory in the United States." The patron of grand opera, an indust ial ruler of America only a couple of years ago, was broke when he wired for money today. His bill at the London hotel, where he stayed for a day between his removal from the Maiotis and his removal to the detention house, was unpaid and he was dunned for it. He declined to pay on the ground he was lodged there forcibly. The newspaper Eleftehros, at Athens, published today a purported interview with Insull, said to have been obtained in the detention house. Its tenor was typical of the views Insull had expressed in previous talks, injured innocence. The newspaper quoted him as follows: “God pity me! All is up. Nothing can save me.” “I dread chiefly unmerited disgrace of my position," the newspaper quoted. “I never have been an embezzler. I am not a criminal. During the last few years of my life I have been unfortunate, like thousands of others. But none has suffered or has been persecuted as I have been. “The reason I have not surrendered willingly to the United States is that the atmosphere there is hostile. The hostility had made impartial justice impossible. I preferred wandering in strange countries. Greece was an oasis.

“I still have faint hope that everything w’ill come out all right. But I fear not. I am ruined, unfortunate, imprisoned. My wife is penniless in Greece. My brother is faced with prison in the United States. God pity us all!” Insull, the newspaper said, seemed prostrate with grief.

Gas tax collections and motor license fees amounting to $8,435,161.89 were being distributed today for the first quarter of 1934 in the office of Floyd I. Williamson, state auditor.

CHECKUP OF AUTOS URGED DURING APRIL Goodyear Service Manager Suggests Repair of Winter Damage. 1 Motorists who wish to get the most for their money out of their automobiles and tires find it gen uine economy to have a thorough j check of their equipment made during April. Wnile winter weather is not hard on tires, it does work considerable wear and tear on the automobile’s finish, top and parts exposed to the weather, according to F. M. Bancroft, manager Goodyear Service, Inc. "It also is an excellent idea.” says Mr. Bancroft, "to establish the habit of having tires checked for air pressure at least once a month. It only takes a minute or two to have tires checked and properly inflated. This service is gladly given free at our station and the customer does not even need to get out of the car. ‘At the same time, our trained employes will be glad to inspect the condition of the top, under the fenders and other parts that may have been damaged by the elements. "We have paints and dressings which can be applied to cracked tops, under side of fenders, or to I spots where paint has chipped off, |in a few minutes. Many times, the application of a few drops of paint will avoid extensive damage to the 'original paint job, or top. "Automobile owners who deferred buying new tires during the winter will not want to delay much longer. With warmer w'eather, old tires will begin to fail and the application of new tires now will practically eliminate the danger of embarrassing and inconvenient tire failures during the warm months,” Mr. Bancroft said.

TIEUP SERVES IN ADVERTISING General Motors Dealers Aid Newspaper Campaign on Financing. Another •new angle in automobile merchandising is being used by Indianapolis General Motors dealers who are displaying banners and placards in show windows, to tie up with the newspaper advertising campaign recently started by the General Motor Acceptance Corporation on the fiancing of automobiles on time payments. ‘‘We are particularly interested in taking the mystery out of automobile time financing costs,” stated W. L. Pavlovski, Indianapolis zone manager for Buick and Pontiac, in commenting on this new movement. ‘‘The public today is price conscious and we advise it to compare time delivered prices of automobiles before buying. In other words, the customer should be interested in knowing what he is getting for his money in time financing just as well as in the automobile value for which he is spending his money. ‘ Besides, the buyer should ascertain very carefully just what protection he is buying—whether he is protected against all accidental physical damage by collision. Some of these items are flood, tornado, windstorm, earthquake, riot, hail, cyclone, explosion, rising water, falling aircraft, fire, theft and collision. The cash buyer can obtain complete protection just as well as the time buyer and he too should be interested in the cost of such protection,” Mr. Pavlovski concluded. Two. Drivers Chosen Pete De Paolo and Lou Moore have been selected to represent the United States in the famous 356mile Italian Sweepstakes in Tripoli May 6.

Indiana Gulf Dealers Enlist in Sales Drive

Campaign Includes Method to Show State of Crankcase Oil. Gulf dealers in the Indiana territory gathered in Indianapolis last week to attend a sales meeting arranged by G. D. Kesler, agent in this territory for the Gulf Refining Company. Purpose of the meeting was to introduce a new' sales and advertising campaign to assist dealers in merchandising the many Gulf products, now that the spring selling season has arrived. Particular stress was laid on a campaign to make motorists aware of the condition of the oil in the crankcases of their automobiles, which this organization recently introduced in this market. An item on this is to be a card with a circle cut from it in which a piece of white cloth has been inserted. The cloth is divided into two parts by a center piece of cardboard. The dealer or salesman is instructed to let the drippings from the crankcase testing rod fall on this cloth to demonstrate the amount of dirt that has got into the oil since it was last changed. The other side of the circle may be used to show the condition of the oil in the crankcase after proper draining and refilling. Auto Body “Stretches” An automobile body with a telescopic rear end has been designed by a British inventor. When extended. it can be used for sleeping or storing extra baggage. Average Speed Shown Tests have shown that the average motorist drives at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour.

Polishing Needed Unless headlight reflectors are polished frequently, they become tarnished and the light is not reflected evenly.

The Indianapolis motoring public got its first view of the new 1934 La Salle last week at the showrooms of the Hoosier Cadillac Company. 2330 North Meridian street. Although production of the new models has not as yet succeeded in catching up with orders on hand, it is expected in a few' more weeks there will be a sufficient number produced daily to give anxious dealers and distributors a complete line of models to display, states C. M. Hammond, president of the Indianapolis distributorship. The new La Salle line, which is ultra modern in its styling of body, has many new features, Mr. Hammond stated. “The most radical, of course, is that every model is priced considerably lower than in previous series, so that today the new La Salle is in the price range of a larger number of buyers than m the past,” he said. "Aside from this, there are such mechanical improvements as individual front wheel springing and hydraulic brakes.”
