MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORU, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1934. PAGE FIVE SCORED BY NYE BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. IS. (AP) Senator Gerald P. Nye (R.. K. D.) today asserted President Roosevelt fa vored a big navy and added he be lieved the president knew "least" of anyone where a naval building race with Japan would lead. Addressing the Maryland branch of the League of Nations Association, Senator Nye. chairman of the special senate committee Investigating the munitions Industry, criticized the president's tactics to "take the profits out of war. 'There Isn't a nation on earth," the senator said, "that Is spending more money than we are for war. Instead of taking the lead to end the navy-bulldlng race with Japan, the president seems to be backing a bleeer and bigger navy. "No one knows where '.'hl race will 'leart us. and the man who I believe knows least about It Is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Using an article he wrote as the basis for me assertion, he be lieves that this talk of war with Japan Is Just and I quote, "an appre .dative habit of the mind.' "But the race with Japan Is on and will produce no good to any but mu nitions makers." Influence of 'Big Business' Seen In Santa's 1934 Streamlined Pack L WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.

Below Is seen the effects of streamlining on youngsters' vehicles. NEW YORK. (AP) What Santa, Claus' pack will contain this year Is Tom Thumb edition of big busi ness. Prom President Roosevelt to rail road kings Saint Nick has borrowed his new ideas from big time affairs and, when the contents of his capa cious sack rolls out Christmas morn ing, the youngsters will be knee-deep in miniature skyscrapers and stream line trains. . It's All Streamlined Santa has streamlined his entire pack velocipedes, coasters, scoot ers, airplanes, automobiles and sleds. Midget models copied from the new est designs in speed record-breaking trains tear around electrified tracks. Baby walkers have streamlined bump ers and new doll carriages look like automobiles. Electricity crackles from the whole lot. Red and green lights gleam from streamlined handle bars, doll houses have electric door bells, any tiny electric stoves and Irons are ready for Miss 10-year-old's stocking. Besides these there is an electric questionnaire which works with a series of pictures, plugs and wires to answer any query from "Who president 20 years ago?" to "Why is your nose in the center of your race?" (The toy folk say the grown ups around the place have virtually worn display sets out). Add-a-Room Houses k President Roosevelt's plea for home modernisation and building has evi dently given Santa a thought, for he has slipped Into his pack add-aroom doll houses, bungalows, garages and farm sets. There are boxes of gay- colored steel strips to build skyscrap ers, ditch diggers, derricks and ce ment mixers and bright wooden blocks to fashion libraries, stores and houses. Even the dolls have a dash and chic which seem to hint better times. Their figures are plumper, their curls arranged Into windswept bobs and lacquered coiffures and their ward robes complete, with outfits for danc ing, swimming, skiing or skating, ri val that of a lady of fashion. Luxurious Furniture, Too Those same dolls have most luxu rious furniture. Tiny overstouffed di vans and chairs, magazine racks, ra dio cabinets, cedar chests and twin beds are all ready for their houses. . And when It comes to amusing toys to while away a stray half hour there are all the tricks which have made Santa Claus' pack a Joy to chil dren for centuries. Dancing dolls, musical tops, Humpty Dumpty on sticks and merry-go-rounds whirl in new colors and ways. The Increased cost of living in Prance during the last year is "re ported to have - diverted numerous American tourists to other countries in Europe.

TT7 A VV 0RD FROM MENm pORD We expect to announce our new 1935 cars, and have them in dealers' showrooms where you may see and examine them, on Saturday, December 29th. The cars are coming off the line now and distribution . will soon commence. I have never been very much in favor of the custom of yearly models. Good motor cars do not become obsolete simply because the calendar turns a leaf. Our former custom was to put improvements on our cars as soon as we developed and tested them, so that : there was continuous refinement and progress. The custom of introducing new models annually is justified when they are really new, and not merely equipped with, new talking points for the purposes of salesmanship. Last year's Ford V-8 was a good car, the best we had built up to that time. We don't say to a cus tomer with a last year's car that his car is out of date. If it is giving him service, and if he is not in the market for a new car, there is no reason for him to feel that he is behind the procession. He still drives the fundamentally latest thing in cars. The new car has all the qualities and advantages of last year's car, with something added. , The improvements we offer are not experimental in any sense; they were thorpughly tried out under every conceivable circumstance before we finally adopted them. That, in fact, is our job all the year 'round refining, improving, making new balance of quali ties, always adhering closely to our principle of con tinuous growth in the basic purpose of the Ford car. The 1935 V-8 engine is practically the same engine we built in 1934, because we have not learned how to build a better one. It has, however, some refinements; amongst which are the coppcr-lcad connecting rod bearings, and the new type of crankcase ventilation. Most of the improvements concern the riding qual ities of the car. There is now more comfort both in driving the car and riding in it and it was always a very comfortable car to drive. This year we have paid particular attention to the comfort of the back seat rider. The rear seat is now forward of the rear axle, so that all passengers ride between the axles. With the new flexible springs, this gives what has been aptly describ ed as "a front seat ride for the back seat passengers." Besides, it has permitted changes in the design of the body which have resulted in those lines of beauty so much in favor with automobile owners today. We have always had three fundamentals Dura bility, Economy of operation and maintenance, and Comfort. Safety, of course, is taken for granted. The durability is just what it always was; no one needs to be told at this late day that Fords are built to last. The economy is even greater than before an 8-cyl-indcr engine with the economy of a four. As to com fort, however, there has been a very considerable ad vance, as I think you will agree when you have tried the car ou We built more than 20,000,000 cars previous to the V-8. We have built 1,300,000 V-8 cars. The V-8, we believe, is the proper engine for the low-price car field, which is our field. This 1935 car will be on display December 29th, with all details ready for your information. It is entirely probable that some of our prices will be lower than in 1934. We want them lower because we expect to build a million cars and better next year, and the price must be right. If the price is right, people will buy; men will go back to work; a thou sand related businesses will feel the new impulse. At least, we are trying to make 1935 a busier, happier and more hopeful year.
