Yankee ingenuity has won another battle . . . fought on three fronts. With the sale of new cars frozen, the Baker Driveaway Co. of Detroit faced collapse. Approximately 200 pieces of equipment, tractors and trailers used in the haulingjof cars to retailers, faced the prospect of rusting ‘for the duration. But the management of Raker Driveaway Co. put their heads together, checked with Washington officials and got a high priority ratin ¥ 125-Passenger Capacity The result: Tractor-trailer buses capable of carrying 125 war workers

The top ramp and flanges were cut away to lower the height of the body— total weight in scrap metal, 3000 pounds. Don’t Use Vital Materials Steel necessary for construction totaled 1000 pounds per bus, netting the government a neat trade-in value. The body of the bus and interior use practically no vital war materials. They are constructed of plywood and masonite. The handhangers for those standing are made of rope covered with leather. Dan. S. Harris, vice president of the company, yesterday held conferences with representatives of’ several bus companies. operating in this area.

Rotary Furious
At Baron's Talk
HEMPSTEAD, N. Y., Nov. 13 (U. P.).—The Hempstead Rotary club wrote the notation “for German propaganda” ‘on the fee check of Baron William Theobold Frary von Blomberg today after an address that infuriated mem- . bers. The baron—who was William Frary, a Boston préss agent, before he was adopted by an aged baroness in 1934—was retained by the club to speak on German psychology but, according to members, the theme of his address was “we have nothing against the Germans.” Members stared at one another in disbelief when the baron urged that the United States and Germany should “plan to co-op-erate after the war,” that Americans should “try to understand the German people,” and that German soldiers never could be guilty of atrocities. C. H. Tunnicliffe Jones, corporation counsel of Hempstead, charged that the speech was a “clever . . . attempt to soften our will to win.”
