50 YEARS OF PROGRESS:
Automotive Industry Beguns
Celebration of Golden Jubilee

DETROIT, May 29-(')-The na-
tion's automotive industry tonight
began a 12-day celebration of itss
golden jubilee with the unveiling and3
dedication of a 60-foot transporta-1
tion tower, symbolizing the rolling
wheel, in downtown Grand Circus1
Park.I
The half-circular park and Wood-1
ward Avenue, the city's main thor-
oughfare which divides it, were rim-
med with decorative figuies as cere-7
monies commemorating 50 years ofI
progress in motorized transportation
got under way.t
Council Lifts Brownout1
The figures when lighted give thet
appearance of huge gold-tipped1
flares. Detroit's coal shortage in-9
spired "brownout" was lifted by the]
city council for four days of the1
celebration.
The jubilee committee meanwhile
announced completion of its prepara-
tions for a series of festivities, in-
cluding street jamborees, parades,
pageants, the opening of its hall
of fame and an exposition of ancient
and postwar model motor vehicles.
Four block long Washington Bou-
levard, which terminates on the west
side of Grand Circus Park was ready
for the big Saturday night carnival.
Postwar Models To Be Shown
The industry which has produced
more than 90,000,000 motor vehicles
since Charles Brady King drove the

first horseless carriage on Detroit
streets in 1896, will have its nearest
approach to an automobile show this
year in the antique car exposition.
Pageant To Be Held
Each present automobile manufac-
turer will show at least one of his
postwar models with 200 or more of
the venerable vehicles as background
at the exposition.
Scheduled to participate in the
Motor City cavalcade parade on Sat-
urday, the one and two cylindered
ancestors of the modern day motor-
car have been arriving for the last
two xieeks from various parts of the
country. Some reached here under
their own power; others were trucked
in. Some will be driven in Saturday's
parade and some will appear on
floats.

Slash Ordered
In Non-Housing
Building Plans
CPA Announces Deep
Cut in Authorizations
WASHINGTON, May 29-('-
John D. Small. Civilian Production
Administrator, tonight ordered a
deep slash in non-housing construc-
tion authorizations during the next
45 days.
Small directed each agency field
office to reduce its dollar value of
non-housing authorizations by two-
thirds in comparison with its rate
of proirct approvals for the two-
week period ending May 23.
This action is being token, Small
said because of the "impact of strikes
on production of building materials"
and because of the "large volume of
con truction already under way or
authorized."
CPA's order came a few hours af-
ter National Housing Administrator
Wilson W. Wyatt had anounced a
new housing inspection program de-
,igned to tie prices closer to the ac-
tual value of new homes built under
the v:terans emergency nousing ,jr-
gram.

1our-Pound Dau
Alive in Oygen7

ALLENTOWN, Pa., May 29-(IP)-
A 24-year old wife of a soldier in a
condition of "suspended death" for
six months gave birth to an appar-
ently normal child, her physician re-
uorted today.
Mrs. Leland Wenger's four-pound
daughter spent its first day in an
oxygen tent at Allentown Hospital.
Attendants said the baby is in good
condition.
The mother suffered a brain in-
jury last November when she and
her husbands a corporal then sta-
tioned at Indiantown Gap, Pa., were
in an automobile collision.
Still in critical condition, she had
been fed through a stomach tube
anti until recently physicians had
been anxious about chances of the
child surviving. However, delivery was
normal after rapid labor. No anes-
thetics were used.
Dr. Gabriel A. Schwartz said Mrs.
Wenger is not in a coma but that
cily vital organs of her body in-
dependent of the brain appear to
function and maintain life.
The condition was caused by severe
multiple brain hemorrhages, he said,
which resulted in complete paraly-
sis of her limbs and facial and throat
muscles so that she cannot move,
talk, eat or even smile.
However, Dr. Schwartz observed
thac the mother apparently is semi-
conscious because her eyes move.

Polio Virus Bombs
Newest War Terror
LONDON, May 29-()-The Daily
Express said today that a new "germ
weapon" reported developed in the
United States was infantile paral-
ysis virus so deadly that one bil-
lionth of an ounce would infect a
person.
The newspaper quoted "British
scientist- in close touch with the
U.S. Chemical Warfare Service" as
saying the virus had been developed
in powdered form by bacteriologists
at a camp in Maryland
(In Washington an Army Chemical
Warfare spokesman said the Daily
Express story "isn't true." Obviously,
the spokesman stated, if a virus had
been isolated it would oe used as the
basis for a cure. He added that a
plant in Indiana, which he declined
to identify further, was on stand-by
basis and has not produced any-
thing.)
The Daily Express said the virus
powder could be dropped over enemy
territory in air-bursting bombs or
rockets as an invisible mist and "once
inside the body it would increase and
paralyze the nervous system within
a few days."
