E. Ooyle, presi dent and general manager, that $36, 000,000 has been expended In retool ing, new machinery, end rearranging the plants and assembly lines of Chevrolet for production of the H37 models that will be announced early In November. This Is one of the largest sums ever appropriated by the automotive In dustry for the change-over of ma clUnery for the annual new models( and gives an Inkling of what the mo torists of America may expect when the cars are revealed to the public, Mr. Coyie stated to 1,000 members of the field force of this company now in session In Detroit. It was said that the usual proced ure In automobile manufacture Is to make new models with certain chang es one yoar and other changes the following announcement time, but that this year Chevrolet has produoed an entirely new car for 1037. It is bocauso of the oomplote re designing of the 1037 models that such a large expenditure for retool Ing and rearrangement was necessary. Mr. Coyle pointed out. Detroit and Michigan shared large ly in the Chovrolot expenditure of 30,000,000. The plants at Flint ex pended $10,000,000, and those In De troit $8,000,000, Two million dollars -wero spent In Saginaw, while In Munlon, Ind., and Indianapolis, a llko amount was divided between the parts fsotorles and the commercial body division, Bay City, Mich., factories expended nearly Jialf a million dol lars. More than half a million dollars were spent by miscellaneous divisions of manufacture. It was disclosed to tho field forcos and newspapermen that Chevrolet Is now In production on the new models, and that the 10,000 dealers oi the company will have display oars for announcement day and an omplo supply for lmmedlnta delivery to pur ehasers. Schedules at the factories are lncrenslng, with heavy volume slated for the latter part of October. November and December will prob ably see Chovrolot production In creased over the high marks set lost year for those two months, said Mr, Coyle, for tho Interest shown by mo torists in Chevrolet plans during the pra-aunouncement time augurs a large Increase In buyer demand for Uie company's cars. The field forces received the an nouncement of Mr. ooyle with en thusiasm and pledged themselves to break the selling rooords they estab lished In 1030 when practically all of tho all-tlmo company records wore mashed. They vlowod tho now mod sis at tho proving ground, drove them, and had the mechanical and servic ing features Illustrated, so that they In turn might bring this Information back to their territories and at once begin formulating local sales policies for 1037. Tho result of Chnvrolot's hoavy vol ume sules In 103". Mr. Coylo salri. will be a 1037 product notable for still greater value. "Quantity production always entails savings." he pointed out. "and as the Industry's lender In production and sales. In 1038, Chev rolet will naturally be In position to psst along to the publlo tho savings ffected by that volume, so the state ment that tho company will sh'iw Its appreciation m this concrete way Is more than Just words; It Is solid favt, with sound oconomlo laws be. hind It."

(AP) Tlw mov of a (rroup of persons describ ed ns bnekers of th Wolf Creek rout to tho sen from Portland to Induce the at at highway commis sion to tnke over detailed supervis ion of the projoet met with n refusal today. The commission expressed doubt that the WPA, in charge of the work, oould relinquish Ha authority to the commission. The group seeking the Chang claimed that relief labor was being uard on the Wilson river cut-off, an other ahort out to the sea from Portland, and that the Wolf creek project waa not being pushed on an equal nasi. The group asserted that efficiency could bo obtained only If tho state applied to the projrct Us knowledge of hltihway building. A significant fact was the npponl or E. J.

Match theirs with yours DON'T GET "OFF" THE AUTOMOBILE VP.-: Jgj "tit n&tyAx The automobile is here to stay and I'm glad of it. There isn't a greater crank in the world than I am oo the subject of care ful driving, but, at the same time, there isn't a greater friend of the auto mobile. The automobile puts zest . into modern life. It gives the city dweller the country and it gives the country dweller the city. I thoroughly enjoy a long motor trip. And I don't need to defend the motor car as a pure trans portation device for transaction of business and movements of merchan dise. Automobiles are away ahead of most of the people who drive them. The mounting toll of automobile killings and injuries leads some folk, to aay that "something will have to b done about automobiles". I aay that something will have to be done about people. Statistics gathered by The Travelers Insurance Company show that in a relatively small percentage of accidents is it the car's fault. A car is not to -blame if its owner has neglected iti brakes, lamps or tires or if he drives like a wild Indian on a rampage. A car ia not to blame if its owner abuses the power it gives him, regards it as a toy instead ofa fine transporta tion instrument, or gets drunk on speed instead of practicing caution and dis cretion and moderation when he takej the wheel.

With Spain embroiled In a brutal class revolu tion and Its neighboring European countries feverishly arming In prep aration for another war. the Ameri can people, enjoying a remote geo graphic position, remain philosophic ally aloof from the madness which seemingly has engulfed the minds of a mnjor portion of the world's pop ulation. A contributing factor to this enviable American position Is the newly arisen house trailer Interest In the United States, according to Trailer Travel Magazine, which re veals In Its . current issue that the ease of mobility In this country has prevented any opportunity for dis astrous mobilization of the people. , Citing American history as a rec ord of a nation on the move, the magtizlno states that the Interest In house trailers In this country came at a critical period on the heels of the depression providing a new mo bility that offset any depression born unrest which might have de veloped into class conflict. Compar ing the American with the European, tho magazine over the signature of Its editor, Karl Hale Dixon, states. "In Europe and elsewhere through out the world his brother man Is endeavoring by force to break the fetters that deny him his freedom and security. He Is resorting to bloody revolution, misguided thoxigh theflo desperate struggles may be In some cases. . . . Here, where wo have been suffering from conditions created, or engonderd. by the partial failure of our own economic and social systems, wo at least . have mobility every third man has It the means to move on to new opportunities 'and new living conditions with a broad ex panse of uncongested territory in which to do It an avenue of escape, a safety valve for pent-up discontent."
