By KEY W. BRI NE
Vnlted Press Htaft Correspondent
DETROIT (UP)-Industry lead
ers predict the automation of fac
tories which is sweeping Ameri
cais going to raise living stand
ards to levels "we haven't even
imagined."
They see no unemployment prob
lems, not even temporary ones,
from the rise of "automatic fac
tories." They believe automation,
where machines do the jobs of
men, means more jobs and better
ones in an expanding economy.
The optimism of industry spokes
men almost drowns out the warn
ings of some economists that auto
mation will lead to mass unem
ployment, even a depression worse
than the early 1930's.

Workers agree that automation can
San Francisco
Selling Surplus
Cable 'Dinkies'
By NORMAN BITTER
United Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Just
what we always wanted a San
Francisco cable car for our very
own!
Whether you react this way to
cable cars or not, certainly you
must know someone who does. Tell
him right away he can now buy
one for keeps straight off a San
Francisco hillside.
As casually as the Army casls
off old sleeping bags and oil
drums, San Francisco is selling
20 cable cars as surplus property.
They will go to the highet bidders
Think of the possibilities an out
door bar or barbecue pit in cable
car decor, or an indestructible toy
for the youngsters.
The price? Well, Public Utilities
Manager James II. Turner had
figured $300 would be a pretty
safe bid but now he's not so sure
Tnlerest in the auction has been
mounting. His office Is getting lots
of mail and phone calls from would
be buyers.
Since 18"0's
San Franciscans and visitors
have been admiring the "dinkies"
ever since they began their hill
climbing in the 1870 s. They don t
fit into the traffic pattern too well
any more, but there was a public
furore recently when it was sug
gested they be abandoned.
The cable cars are not being
abandoned but the service has
been curtailed. The city owns about
60 of the steel and wood cars,
some dating back to the 1880's, and
only 30 arc in use. Ten are going
to be kept in reserve and the other
20 sold.
Sealed bids are being accepted
now for the first group of 10 to go
on the block. At a future date still
unannounced the bids will be
opened and the 10 highest bidders
will be the owners of surplus dink
ies, F.O.B., the carbarn.
Ios Angeles Buys
In a special transaction, the City
of Los Angeles already has made
off with one surplus car. Los An
geles bought one for $300 to dis
play in Griffith Park and to cart
around for publicity purposes.
This car did not come from the 20
being auctioned, however.
Potential bidders are being ad
vised the surplus cars actually are
the newest in the fleet. The Powell
Street line that straddles Nob Hill
is using the 19th century models,
while the surplus cars come from
the defunct Jones-Hyde-O'Farrell
line.
This line lost all its cars In the
fire and carthminke of 1906. It
had to be rebuilt following the dis
aster, and the of terine of surplus
cars are these post-1908 models.
raise living standards but they be
lieve it would not necessarily do
so. The UAW fears industry might
use automation only to cut pro
duction costs and rake off higher
unit profits, with no thought for
the fate of the individual worker.
Automation of factories will cut
down the number of workers re
required to do a given job. It
has been estimated that one work
er will be able to do the work that
five now perform.
The controversy hangs on how in
dustryand millions of workers
will adjust to these changes.
In the auto Industry, where auto
mation is having a dramatic im
pact, spokesmen say the change
will be one of evolution rather
than revolution. G. G. Murie, a
Ford Motor Co. executive, said
automation "should have no
abrupt or harsh impact upon our
working population no more than
the gradual shifting of employment
from dying industries to new in
dustries."
Del Harder, Ford vice president
who coined the word "automation"
eight years ago, said people who
claim the new techniques will
cause widespread unemployment
"just don't know what they're talk
ing about."
"Automation will do just the op
posite," he said. "It will- create
more jobs, create more products
at less cost, und increase the abil
ity of people to consume. It is
the key to less human effort in
the future and an increase in our
standard of living of tomorrow."
Industry s optimism is based on
a formula involving lower unit
costs and lower prices, hence
greater demand for goods. Also,
automation means more leisure
kime for Americans, more demand
for the tools of leisure, such as
recretational equipment and more
ifreedom for travel. The picture is
rosy indeed.

N. J. Parents
Seek Change in
N. Y. Rum Laws
PERTH AMBOY, N.J. (UP)
Worried parents on the North Jer
sey shore are demanding that New
York raise its legal drinking age
from 18 to 21. Their children, in
the "flaming youth" tradition,
won't stay home.
Teen-agers flock across the Hud
son Kiver by the carload every
weekend to buy liquor and beer in
New York taverns. They would
have to be 21 to drink in New Jer
sey. Civic groups and parent organi
zations in New Jersey communi
ties bordering New York complain
that juvenile delinquency and
many auto accidents can be traced
to teen-age drinking in bistros of
Staten Island and Manhattan.
New York and Louisiana are the
only two states in the nation which
permit the sale of intoxicating bev
erages to 18 years olds, although
Ohio allows 18 year olds to buy
and drink 3.2 per cent beer.
Parents in New Jersey's Bergen,
Middlesex and Union Counties,
alarmed by two shootings, a traf
fic death and several other acci
denus at the New York border,
have succeeded in getting a bill
introduced in the New York Leg
islature to raise the minimum
drinking age to 21 in New York.
The New Jersey Assembly al
ready has adopted a resolution ask
ing New York to pass the bill.
Elizabeth, N. J., police set up
a blockade on the Goethals Bridge
and gave drunkometer tests to
teen-agers suspected of intoxica
tion as they drove home from Sta
ten Island. Over a period of several
weeks, police found no cases of in
toxication among 50 to 100 youths
tested each week.
Police Capt. Nicholas Migliore
said many of those stopped admit
ted drinking but none had been
drinking too much.
Parents in Elizabeth were
aroused recently when a youth in
high spirits climbed the Goethals
Bridge structure on a dare and
dove 200 feet into the water. He
swam ashore safely.

BOY LOCKED IX
NEW YORK (UP) Robert De

He discovered that his 11-year
old son, Eugene, had accidentally
been locked in the compartment
and that the boy's shouts had at
