OPEN HOUSES TO START HERE ON WEDNESDAY
Showroom Displays. Will Replace Exposition; End on Nov. 18.
Since no auto show is to be held in Indianapolis this year, several dealers and distributors are planning open house displays next week to enable the public to view their entire lines of cars on an “auto show basis.” Two distributors definitely have planned : exhibits while several others have indicated they also will join in the displays. The shows will start Wednesday and continue through Nov. 18. The two distributors are Packard of Indianapolis, Inc., 1510 N. Meridian St., and Ace Motors, Inc. Hudson distributor, 119 N, Meridian St. Hudson dealers also will display their models.
Discussed at Lunchéon
- William H. Schmelzel, vice president of Ace Motors, said the idea was first. discussed by him and William A. B. Hanchett, vice president and general manager of Packard, at a luncheon meeting after Indianapolis dealers had decided against holding an automobile show here this year. Mr. Schmelzel pointed out that an auto show permits thé public to view new models of cars on a comparative basis before making purchases. He said he and Mr, Han felt that open house displays at® various salesrooms would accomplish the same purpose.
Decorations Planned
The showrooms will be especially decorated for the week-and-a-half show, Mr. Schmelzel said, and the entire line of each firm’s autos will be on display. Invitations Have been extended to other auto dealers to participate, he said. Among those who have indicated they also will join in the shows are Lewis & Winkler Motors, Nash distributors, 1525 N. Meridian St.; Carroll Cartwright, Inc, Studebaker distributors, 961 N. Meridian St., and Fred Williams, Inc, Mercury distributors, 850 N. Meridian St.
Manufacturers Get Set
For Record Quarter
Increased sales of new models throughout the country has led auto manufacturers to plan for a last quarter output exceeding the record of 1,154,806 cars produced in the final months of 1936, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., reported today. If manufacturers’ fourth-quarter expectations are realized, the output of autos and trucks in the calendar year 1939 will reach approximately 3,800,000 units. This figure compares with 2,655,171 for 1938, and 5,016,437 for 1937. The industry entered the new model year with stocks fairly well under control. From a. peak of 450,000 units on April 1, the number of new cars in dealers’ hands declined to 146,700 on Sept. 1 and rose to 153,100 on Oct. 1. October holdings compared with. 96,300 a year ago, showing an increase largely because of the earlier introduction of new models this year. Stocks Were well ‘under the high levels of 193 Total retail ‘deliveries of new cars in the first 10 days of October were close to 100 per cent larger than a year ago, the survey said. : Direct orders booked at the New York show were approximately double the number in 1938.

HELP WORKERS, LILLY AID URGES
McConnell Says Education Is Best Way to Eliminate Useless Motions.
l The elimination of useless motions by workers was urged by John A. McConnell, superintendent of the methods and standards department of Eli Lilly & Co., before the Junior Chamber of Commerce leadership forum at the Indianapolis Athletic Club last night. Mr. McConnell said that workers could be educated to do their work the quickest and most simple way through use of movies and distribution of technical data. Co-operation Stressed “Workers and foremen sometimes resent being told just how to do a thing or what hand to use by some high-powered efficiency expert,” he said. - “Through education, the worker can discover the most simple way himself and in that way gain a sense of belonging to the organization. “The best way of getting co-op-eration and capitalizing on the skill and experience of workers and foremen is to make them a part of any methods improvement program. “Such a course requires a program of education in funmadentals of motion study, requiring time and patience that should pay “infinitely greater dividends in employee morale and co-operation. Progress Noted “It should bring about a degree of motion-mindedness throughout the whole organization, resulting in more harmonious relations and understandings.” Mr. McConnell declared that the movement to eliminate | useless movements by workers education programs is gaining headway throughout the country. He said it was not designed to “speed things up” but rather to “turn useless mo-

ST. LAWRENGE PAGT SPURRED
About-Face by Ontario’s Premier May Permit Treaty by 1940.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (U. P.).— Favorable development of Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway negotiations would enable a treaty to be ready for submission to the Senate soon after Congress meets in January, it was said semi-officially today.
But the waterways project has|
made no actual progress since May
31, 1938, when the State Pepart-|
ment, published a note to Canada submitting a draft of the proposed treaty. Much of the preliminary work has been complefed.
No Official Word
The draft treaty is understood to have been substantially satisfactory to Canadian authorities. But there has been no official statement to that effect and the revival of waterway discussion inthe ‘past 10 days is based entirely, the United Press was informed, on a newspaper dispatch from Canada that Premier Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario
Province was ready now to withdraw|

near Parker in Randolph County.
JAPS LOSE ON CHINESE GAME NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (U. P)— Sixteen Japanese paid fines of $2 each in night court for gambling. They were playing Chinese dice.
Mr. Hepburn's change of front—-| J
if any—has not been communicated;
to the State Department althoughj
it doubtless will be if newspaper
reports of his attitude were justi-|-
fied. Early agreement between the
Dominion Government and Ontario}
would ‘enable United States and Dominion officials to proceed on the basis of the draft treaty.
Reason Not Clear
It might be possible to complete the instrument in a couple of months and have ‘it ready for the Senate by Jan, 3, when Congress meets in regular session. There are various explanations of Hepburn’s reported change of attitude, including a suggestion that British pressure may have béen applied to remove him as an obstacle blocking a project eagerly sought by President Roosevelt.
Semi-official and - well-informed|
sources counter-suggested, however, that a prospective power shortage in Ontario would he a more likely explanation.
