IMAPPING FIGHT
HYDE PARKK, N. Y. —(AP)—
President Roosevelt opened a spe
cial inquiry into means of battling
the kidnapping racket in a confer
ence Tuesday with Raymond Mo
ley, intimate adviser and Assis
tant Secretary of State.
The Moley conference follows
closely the organization an enlarg
ed Bureau of Investigation in the
Department of Justice. Mr. Roos
evelt is determined to give full
federal cooperation to the states in
the drive against stealing in hu
man lives.
lAlso, there is indication he will
suggest shortly to governors of the
states a uniform method of at
tack against this newest of rackets
which is flourishing at alarming
rate.
Observers here were inclined to
place double significance to the
Moley visit. He has been at odds
with Secretary Hull over state
department policies and persistent
rumors have prevailed that Moley
is to be given a new assignment.

proceeds from a particular busi
ness are not large enough to meet
the minimum wage schedule. How
ever, the committee is charged
with the responsibility of carry
ing out the general aims of NRA:
—higher wages, shorter hours and
increased employment.
The chamber of commerce has
been so busy assisting in putting
the code into ¢ffect, that no sur
vey has begn possible regarding
increased Qmp]oyment,‘ but a sur
vey will be held as soon as possi
ble to determine what effect ap
plication of the code in Athens
has had on employment. It is
known that in certain instances
additional help has, been obtained
here as a result of the NRA pro
gram and,_of course, the effect of
increased é:ries and wages will
be felt almost immediately.

UNTIL WE LEARNED BETTER - '
Until we learned better, we used to mix wood and steel in our car
bodies and wheels. ;
It was the best way to make bodies--then. But the state of the art
has advanced. ; . ,
Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-steel body than to
make a wooden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The better way in
volves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies,
which renders a change very costly. Cars, especially large expensive cars
which are produced in small volume, cannot afford this, because the dies
cost as much for one car as for a million. That alone explains why all
steel bodies are not used in all cars. :
But our basic policy from the beginning is to make a good car better,
regardless of cost. e IR T
For example, when we discarded wood-steel body construction, it was
not because Wwe lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the :
pest hard wood in America. Economy would urge us to use up the wood
first, and then adopt the pbetter all-steel body. But we decided that
quality was more important than expense.
We weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change.
We could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and-steel body
——nailing the metal on, instead of welding an all-steel body into a
strong one-piece whole. That reason was, it would be cheaper—-for us.
Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood-steel
body is not much stronger structurally than its wooden frame. In all * ‘
American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car lot
gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays.
A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel comstruction.
Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact--dented per
haps, but not crushed.
; Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for
furniture, but not for the high speed vehicles of 1933.
In the Ford body there are no joints to squeak, no seams to crack
or leak.
The all-steel body is more expensive--to us, but not to you.
By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable.
Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an electrically
welded one-piece steel wheel, such as ther Ford wheel, needs to be
wstrengthened" by adding wood to it. :
The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest, most
durable body made. That is our only reason for making them.

WE DO OUR PART ,
We Believe the comnlete co-operation of all employers—
employees and consumers with both the Letter and the Spirit
of the National Recovery Act will quickly bring back to the
United States that Prosperity that is the Purpose of the Act.
We Believe that Shorter Hours and Higher Wages will
be a great stride forward in the Progress of Civilization . . .
Shorter Hours mean a greater period of leisure for the beau
tiful things in life . . . Many workers where there have been
only a few . . . . Higher Wages mean the opportunity to
enjoy a finer Standard of Living.
We Consider it not only a Duty but, as well, a Privilege

We pledge this Company to adhere without deviation to that
