Predictions In
'37 Car Model
Changes Made
Production Plants Closed
At Present For Annual
Inventory Period
DETROIT, Aug. 8.--(P)-The mo-
torcar industry is entering the sea-
son of the year when a few idle as-
sembly lines precipitate much gossip
and the plans of the car builders are
surrounded with more than the us-
ual amount of secrecy.
A few of the active producing units
of the industry have closed down for
their annual "inventory" periods
which also permit dealers to clear
their floors for the coming models.
The latter, however, will be some
time in making their appearance in
the dealers' stocks, probably little be-
fore Nov. 11 when the major motorcar
exhibition, the New York Automobile
Show, is to get under way.
As a general rule, the dealers, like
the manufacturers, have kept close
to the consumer requirements, and
the problem of disposing of current
stock on hand will bother them not at
all. The fact that many weeks of
favorable driving weather remain be-
tween now and the availability of
1937 types will aid materially, say dis-
tribution authorities, even if the cur-
rent demand tapers off. Because some
dealers are likely to encounter a
shortage of new cars for immediate
delivery while awaiting factory ship-
ments of new types, they add, there is
little likelihood of a sudden, material
withholding of new car purchases.
Moreover, some of the producers
now taking inventory plan to as-
semble a limited additional number of
1936models when they resume opera-
tions.
The gossip concerning the plans of
the various manufacturers have it
that certain changes in body styleI
and radiator grills again are to bet
the principal points of difference inI
the majority of 1937 models. This
apparently is one of the safest guessest
currently to be made, for although on1
the face of financial statements theI
industry is in position to make more
radical departures than ever,i

Nancy ("Mrs. Maisie Madigan") Bow-
man proudly awaiting the arrival of
her erstwhile Repertory Player
daughter, Leah ("Nora") Sanger, who
described her active season to her
disappointed mother in relating that
regardless of her talent she had
merely rolled the hill on the stage in
"Borkman," made the noise of the
falling bicycle in "Squaring the
Circle," rung the bells in "The Pi-
geon," (since "the little fat man with
the glasses," had said the play
couldn't go on without her), taught
"The Old Maid" how to knit; and in
her only speaking part, come on with
ten other girls saying "Hail Mary,"
in "Juno and the Paycock" much to
the horror of her Presbyterian moth-

Cohen, the costumiere, speaking
on "My experiences with Un-

Ralph Bell's Whitford-Kane reci-

since all of them had been asked
to speak on the same afternoon,
the fracas being saved only by
the one o'clock chimes .. .
Mildred Streeter convulsing Sally
Pierce, who sat in the audience with
the constant Milton ("Earl of Moray")
Halliday by her side when she became
"Queen Elizabeth" in "Stranger In-
terlude," with all of Sally's meticu-
lous resonance and enunciation, to
M a r y Pray's Virginia-Frinkish
"Mary," both commenting colloquial-
isms between Maxwell Anderson's
lovely lines in critizing one another's,
prop-girl expressions, with Mildred's
last aside being, "I hope Virginia's
going to the Lab Theatre to dig up
those props; as for me, I'm going to
take a Halliday!" ...

Robert ("Charlie Bentham")
Campbell, who's often seen danc-

ing his future audiences of dot-
merings of the stagecraft folks, and
boasting a cast of the largest num-
ber of married folks of the summer,

of Riccio in "Mary of Scotland," play-
ing the lead while his wife, Paroda
Ann Toms, who has been strumming
on the violin between intermissions
for the various shows, will be in the

them will go to North Carolina where
Jack has lately been commissioned to

Bill Given To
Gov. Fitzoerald
First Draft Of Measure

would be exempted from civil service:
Elective officers, constitutionally
appointive officers, members of the
legislature and their employes, offi-
I cers and employes of courts of record,
members of boards and commissions
and department heads appointed by
the Governor.
Each commission and each depart-
mean head could select a secretary
or a deputy without regard to civil
service. The Governor could select
one executive secretary and three
"confidential" employes for his office
on the same basis.
The bill exempts officers and em-
ployes of Michigan State College and
the University of Michigan unless
governing bodies of those institutions
elect to put certain classes under civil
service.
The director would submit a com-
pensation schedule for state employes,
based on living costs and the pay of-
fered in private business. He would
provide examinations for present
state employes and those seeking state
employment. Examinations would be
on a competitive basis. Promotion
would be on merit.
Department heads would have the
right to dismiss employes, but the
commission could retain them on elig-
ible lists or transfer them to other
departments. The eligible lists would
be built up from the results of com-
petitive examinations and vacancies
would be filled from the list. Dis-
missed employes could submit their
defense to the commission.
The merit system would be extend-
ed to minor employes on the state
payroll, including laborers and serv-
ants in state institutions.

well of the chorus; one of the
happiest gentlemenofethe en-

zest in his piratish gusto ...
Morlye Baer, the face-in-the-win-
dow of "The Pigeon," the man-on-the
crutch and body-in-the-slicker of
"Juno and the Paycock," also a mem-
ber of the chorus, being heckled by
Marian Neuhouse of N.Y.U., who has
the faculty of doing that, though she
didn't in the least criticize his role of
"John," "Dee's husband in "The Old
Maid," while she usually criticizes
foot movement, having analyzed Ed
Jurist's pedal gestures on stage-and
now he's happily in New York! . .
Frances Manchester, "The Girl" of
"Post Road," trying out for the forth-
coming "Chalk Dust," Franny's dra-
matic ability running beyond the arts
of acting; she's written two three-
acts, one of which won her the ac-
claim of Reginald Pole, and has also
tutored radio stars in New York City
following her graduation ...
Vernon B. Kellett, the very
model of a British Major-Gener-
al, of "The Pirates," attracting
attention because of wearing a
monocle about the campus to
learn how to keep the elusive
eye-piece in place for the per-
formance. . . He's done the part
before at Cranbrook, where he 1
teaches German, directs the Glee1

didn't quite get to be a "Major-
General" in the A.E.F. Artillery

Joe Condon, the gent who sits in
the box and plays the piano during
the overtures, training the chorus, for
"The Pirates," assisted by David Mat-
tern, who will do the final directing
of the orchestra, Carl Moore, head of
the Music School, and Raymond
Hackett, head of singing at the Mu-
sic School.-

much. It was the big fellows who got
the big benefits.
"A New York bank received . .
$782,000 for not growing sugar in
Puerto Rico.
I submit that in the history of the
world there has never been so idiotic
an economic transaction."
"All the evidence indicates our
farmers actually lost money by the
whole transaction. They lost their,
foreign markets. They lost a part of
their home markets to foreigners.
The increase in prices plus the cash
payments did not make up for their
losses."
"There will be no dirty campaign
on our side. A man does not throw
dirt unless his hands are in it."
He said the Republican campaign
would acknowledge that some of the
Roosevelt administration's measures
were valuable. He mentioned regu-
lation of the sale of securities, "some
of the banking measures," and the
CCC.
"A government that tries every-
thing must do some things right,"
Col. Knox said. "A man with both
eyes shut firing a machine gun in go-
ing to hit something after a while."
"The Republican platform promises
no miracles. Miracles have not worked
well lately. They are going out of
fashion."
Looking into the future, Col. Knox
told his audience the "American sys-
tem of free enterprise" holds the
promise of "a new order" with a mag-
nificent standard of living, free of
poverty and insecurity. But this must
come, he said, through low costs and
high production, based on "coopera-
tion, not class hate."
