LARGER SALES SHOWN
BY CHEVROLET MOTORS
Chevrolet dealers reported the sale
at retail of 65,761 new cars and
trucks in May for the largest single
month's retail deliveries since June,
11*31, W. S. Knudsen, president and
general manager announced today.
In May, 1932, the figure was 48,-
210 units, a gain of 36 per cent, and
in April this year 53,936 units, Mr.
Knudsen said.
Retail sales reported in 1933 for
the five months ended May 31 to
taled 226,388 new ears and trucks
as compared with 209,792 in the like
1932 period, he stated.
Each one of the three ten day pe
riods in May showed a constantly
growing margin of gain over the
comparable periods of a year ago.
Figures as announced by Mr. Knud
sen were 17,000 for the first ten
days of May this year as against 13,-
800 last year, a gain of 22 per cent;
21,800 in the second ten days as
against 16,2000 last year, a gain of
3-1 per cent; and 26,800 in the last
ten days as against 18,100 last year,
a gain of 48 per cent.
Despite the sharp upcurve of new
car sales, used stocks in dealers’
remained unchanged during the
month, while new car stocks in the
field dropped several hundred units
due to retail sales running ahead of
factory projections, Mr. Knudsen
said. Manufacturing schedules had to
be increased frequently during the
month to meet expanding dealer com
mitments.
The sharp rise from April into
May was much more than seasonal
with his company. Mr. Knudsen said,
indicating a belated buying season
and promising to bring June retail
volume up close to May.

THE JACKSON *RGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
MACHINE GUNS IN
GEORGIA’S CAPITOL
HIGHWAY FUNDS TAKEN OUT
OF BANKS AND PLACED IN
STATE TREASURY. MACHINE
GUNS HAVE BEEN MOUNTED
Atlanta, Ga., June 14. National
guardsmen, as such, were ordered
out today to take over the job of
patrolling the state capitol, as poli
tical circles buzzed with rumors that
Gov. Eugene Talmadge planned to
take over the money, control and
operation of the state highway de
partment.
George B. Hamilton, state treas
urer, said today that the guards
who have been at the treasury and
ir capitol corridors since Saturday
as individuals were now there in
their status as National Guardsmen.
Adjutant Gen. Lindley Camp of
Georgia said he could not “unde"
r.ny circumstances comment on the
rc poft that National • Guardsmen”
have been assigned to duty as capi
tol guards.
Governor Talmadge, in New York
today to make a speech, said there
that military matters are secret mat-
“The governor is my commander
in-chief,” said General Camp. “He
has stated that military matters are
necessarily secret matters, and I
cannot discuss the reports.”
It was learned from other sources,
however, that not only had the num
ber of guards been increased from
seven to twenty, but that their arma
ment had been increased to include
j
three machine gu“ns, mounted at van
tage points to protect about $2,000,-
000 of highway funds in the treas
ury.
Reports from New York said it was
learned upon Governor Talmadge’s
arrival there that he had ordered the
highway funds withdrawn from banks
and put into the state treasury, fear
ing legal action from the highway
department in an effort to tie up
the funds.
