W. F. Holler, general sales manager, was represented at the banquet by S. M. Johnson, and K.

M. Chase, Pacific regional manager, both of whom paid warm tribute to the old timers present and to the retail organization in general. Chevrolets spectacular success has been due in no small part to its dealers, it was asserted. There are in the United States 430 Chevrolet dealers who have been with the company upwards of 15 years, he said. There are several times that number who have been with it 10 years or more.

It requires no stretch of the imagination to appreciate the effect this remarkable situation has upon Chevrolets standing. While, technically, this banquet was an expression of thanks to old timers it is also intended as a testimonial to our entire retail organization. Under the Quality Dealer program launched many months ago, Chevrolet and its dealers are reaching new heights, and the entire organization from Coast to Coast shares in the credit for these achievements.

the WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 U.R The Securities and Exchange commission today cited two partners of the brokerage firm of E. F. Hutton Co. and a member of the New York Stock Exchange on charges of manipulating shares of the Auburn Automobile Co.

The Hutton partners, Gerald M. Loeb of New York, and Gordon B. Crary, and H. Terry Morrison, a floor trader on the Stock Exchange, were ordered to show cause why they should not be suspended or expelled from membership on the New York Stock Exchange, New York Curb Exchange, Los Angeles Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. The commission said that the firm of E.

F. Hutton Co. itself was not involved. The citation charges that the trio induced and effected numerous purchases of Au burn stock by the dissemination throughout the United States and in foreign countries of extravagant statements concerning the prospects for sensational profits by Auburn Automobile and concerning the likelihood of a spectacular price advance in Auburn stock. The commission also said it had reason to believe that between Dec.

26, 1935, and March 12, 1936, the three men, by use of the mails and instrumentalities of interstate commerce as well as facilities of the exchange, directly and indirectly effected a series of transactions in Auburn stock, creating actual and apparent active trading in such security and raising the price thereof for the purpose of inducing the purchase thereof by others. if S' Heat of Light Globe Is New Power Source SEATTLE, Dec. 31. (U.R) A railroad locomotive can be rur from the heat produced by -its headlight, E. II.

Franson, Seattle inventor and apartment house janitor, said, as he stood before an unusual contrivance and fried an egg over a common electric light globe. Franson, 58, has perfected an invention that utilizes heat from a light globe to warm a room or cook. He has been working on it for 10 years and has been trying to interest the federal government in it. If I can get the government to back my invention, Ill solve the nations fuel problem, Franson said. His invention consists of a 300-watt light globe encased in copper, aluminum and sheet iron, sei in a standard three feet high Two tubes extend from the bottom and air flows through them into the chamber holding the tube.

Franson says the globe radiates heat and breaks down the oxygen in the air, consumes it. and gives more neat. He said the same principle that enables him to fry an egg or heat his room could be applied to running a locomotive with heat from its headlight. Payments to Jobless Start In Short Time Dec. 31 U.PJ The New Deal's long-range program to provide for the unemployed will start in 21 states and the District of Columbia tomorrow, affecting approximately 12,000,000 workers.

With a stake of approximately $500,000,000, these political jurisdictions will serve as a prov ing ground for the administra tions plans for alleviating unem ployment. The funds have been collected during the past two years under the provisions of the social security act and will serve as a so-called cushion for those who lose their jobs. Unemployed in these 22 political divisions will receive compensation up to $15 per week over periods ranging ud to 16 weeks. Both the wages paid and the time for which they are paid depend upon each workers salary and the amount of time he worked during the past two years. Unemployment compensation payments begin after a waiting period of Ifrom two to three weeks, depending on state legislation.

The state unemployment services try to find jobs for the unemployed; if they are unsuccessful, the benefit payments start.

That lifeline, via the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, the Rec Sea, and finally the Indian ocean, faced grave threats during the World War. With Europe and Asia once more seething in discord, it is threatened again, and so Gibraltar stands ready for the first test.
