Auto Industry Studi - Factory Bonuses for Cars

‘FTC Calls Conference On Unfair Trade Practices.

DETROIT, April 1 (U. P).— Leaders of the automobile industry today’ studied a proposal to return to a factory-supported junking program similar to one in operation before the advent of the NRA. Details’ of the plan were withheld pending next month’s. convention of the National Automobile Dealers’ AsSociation, but its central feature was a provision for payment to dealers by manufacturers for each car thrown on the junk pile. : ! The program would be administered by a “stabilization board” set up jointly by dealers and manufacturers. A. N. Benson, dealers’ association general manager, said such a pro-

gram would open. the market for |

new and nearly new cars by removing the “bottle neck” of “jalopies” held responsible for the stagnant new car market. The plan will be submitted to the dealers’ convention April 25-27. If it is approved, it will be submitted for indorsement of the Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. :

A. A. A. Asks Inquiry Into Parking Meters

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 1.—Because of widespread charges that the installation of parking meters in many cities had been marked by graft and corruption, the American Automobile Association is urging a Congressional investigation. The charges on which the A. A. A’s demand for an investigation was made have come, in part, from representatives and agents of some of the companies which are making and selling parking meters. The A. A. A. said, similar representations have been made to the Department of Justice, while newspapers in a number of cities where meters are in use have aired graft charges. The motoring association’s statement said that one manufacturer recently said the reason the standard price of the meters is so high —about:$58—is because agents have found it impossible to get contracts for installation unless they were willing to make a “payoff” to politicians. The association said it had as-
