E TYPE Front Drive Also Extolled by Engineer Interior Should Influence Exterior Design Is Pointed Out by Expert DETROIT, Jin. 1 (AP) Auto motive engineers wers urged today to put the cart before the horse by building motor cars with engines at the rear, t s mertlng during which the virtues of the front drive oars also were described. E. L. Johnston, stylist for a maker of rear engine cars, and E. L. Allen, engineer for a producer of front drive machines, each advanced his company's departures from conven tional practice as steps toward more efficient design. Their papers were prepared for delivery before the 31at annual con vention of the society o automo tive engineers. Basic Design Faulty. "The deficiencies of today's cara are all due, more or less, to lacs of a sound basis of design," John ston said. "Too much space la wasted upon non-functional elements; ventila tion la still far from satisfactory; lnterlora are Impractical too cramp ed due to waste of available room," he said. "Visibility Is sadly lacking due to the driver being located back of the center of the car; car wln dowa are poorly arranged lights re flecting In them at night: bodies are poorly Insulated against temperature and sound; . . . door handlea and exoosed door hlngea set up wind noises at high speed." A principal advantage of either of the designs under dlscusalon, the speakers said, ws the elimination of the propellor shaft under the body, permitting floora to be awung lower and the elimination of the 'running boards. Means More Boom. "With no running boards to con sider we can make . . - body width the same as car width, with lenders logically and simply a part of the body." Johnston said. "This gives us luxuriously ample Interior width enough to seat four people abreast If need be." The lower bodies permit greater Head room, although the overall height of the car may be less than In conventional design, it was poinf ed out. "Interior should Influence exte rior, and should not be the result of exterior design." Johnston said, explaining that he worked on the theory the car should be deslgnea "from Inside out." He said 'that many of the objec tions he had cited as found in conventional cars had been overcome by application of the principles of "functional" design.

(AP) The city school board decided last night to place whipping of 'pupils on a strictly standardized basis. A whipping In one school will be as good, theoretically, as a belting In another since the school board, after prolonged debate, settled upon two kinds of straps which principals may use. While the children all potential victims anxiously followed reports of the proceedings, the board voted approval of: A strap 10 to 10 Inches long. 3 to 314 Inches wide and one-eighth to one-fourth Inch thick for pupils from the sixth grade up. A strap 15 Inches long. 1 to IK Inches wide and one-eighth Inch thick for grades one to five Inclu sive. Supt. G. A. McKee sponsored the move to standardize thrashing equip ment after a city-wide survey show ed a woeful lack of uniformity in instruments for corporal punish ment. The obstacle to complete unl formity the board failed to hurdle was a method for measuring the muscle-power of the wlelder of approved strap.
