H, Wallerich, Chrysler-Plymouth distributor in the Indianapolis territory, it was announced at national headquarters of the association here today upon receipt of reservation for the annual banquet the night of Jan. 15. This year's convention will be the first time that the dealers, as a national organization, have met in the capital of the automotive industry. Because the convention comes at the close of the first year s experience under the automobile dealers’ fair trade practices code, unusual importance is attached to its deliberations. It is significant in this connection that the outstanding speaker for the annual banquet will be Donald R. Richberg, director of the President's National Emergency Council, and generally referred to by Washington correspondents as the President's “No. 1 Man.” Mr. Richberg's duties at present j consist of co-ordinating the whole vast recovery program, involving billions of dollars and intimately ! affecting the lives id happinpss of 120.000.000 persons, who today are emerging from the worst depression in the history of their country. It is declared obvious that what Mr. j Richberg has to tell the dealers will be of vital and national interest. The automobile dealers, under' their code, according to F. W. A. Vesper, president of the association, are recognized in Washington as having taken a leading part in na- i tional recovery. “It is safe to say that during the j coming year, following our national , convention which every wide-awake j dealer should attend, if possible, still j greater progress will be made in our 1 industry,” Mr. Vesper declared. 1 “Enough benefits have shown | to have been derived from the code j to insure the good dealer rallying to its support in the future.” MORE ACTIVITY SHOWN General Motors Plants at Anderson Employing 8090.

Film Director Found Dead in Africa By l nitrd Press JOHANNESBURG. South Africa, Jan. 2.—Carl Sinon, managing director of the Metro-Goldwyn- j Mayer Film Cos., of South Africa, was found shot dead yesterday in his apartment. Police believed he shot himself. Chains Easily Handled Motorists may now attach or remove automobile chains without leaving their seas, through use of a new automatic device, the operating part of which is attached to the rear brake drum. Metal Protects Tire* An unusual feature of an armored scout car built for military use is its tires. Within the casings are duralumin rings upon which the car can run if bullets should riddle the pneumatic tires. Driver Protected Anew type of steering wheel collapses like a telescope under the weight of the driver when he is thrown forward by impact of a collision. Cau* of Wear Because of inadequate distribu- ; tion during the warm-up period, the j use of too heavy an oil. rather than one too light, is often responsible for worn cylinder blocks. Pressure Lessened One of the latest developments in the automotive field is a simple device which makes use of engine torque to reduce clutch pedal-pres-sure to a minimum. Repair Suggestion The battery should always be disconnected before making extensive adjustments in the electrical system.

He started in Indianapolis almost 20 years ago as a Ford dealer, but three years later sold out and moved to Anderson, where he continued with the Ford line. In returning to Indianapolis as a Ford dealer Mr. Holcomb brings with him a wealth of experience excelled only by his enthusiasm over the new Ford V-8. which has been inspected by thousands of local motorists. He has surrounded himself with a seasoned organization in every department and will operate a complete parts and service division in connection with new and used car sales. C. B Silver, who served Mr. Holcomb as sales manager from 1918 to 1930. has joined the new company to take charge of sales. Since 1930 he has been sales manager for a Richmond dealer.

Motor Cos., “the new car marks the present culmination of develop-

ments begun by Ford three years ago at the time of the announcement of the V-8 engine. In the three years intervening, Ford has been engaged in the development of a combination of engineering improvements aimed at providing a degree of riding comfort and ease of control comparable with the per-

formance of the engine itself. The new body designs are further evidence of the progress of Ford engineering.” In appearance the new 7 cars are characterized by a freshness of conception utilizing flowing curves to carry out the modern motif, plus a new treatment of interior and appointments which sound an entirely new note in Ford body styling. The engineering advances in engine and chassis are comparable in importance. Principal among these is the new ride effected by the new

car weight balance and passenger weight distribution and the location of the passengers closer to the center of the car so that they ride between the wheels. To accomplish this, the front spring, which has been lengthened, is located more than four inches in front of the front axle and the engine is moved forward more than eight inches so that its weight rests over the front axle. Front and rear springs have been made more flexible. Added chassis room available as a result of the front end improvements permits redistribution of the passenger weight—now concentrated between the wheels—so that the weight on the two axles is approximatly equalized, giving rear seat passengers the comfort of a “front seat” ride. The modern design note is carried without break through the new slanting vertical grille with horizontal beading, the sweeping line of the low hood and more sharply slanting windshield, the beautifully molded body and the flowing rear quarter panel. Fenders are deeper and more highly crowned, with sweeping skirts. Wheels are smaller and tires . larger. The hub caps are adorned
