(United Press Stuff Correspondent) DETROIT, Nov. 20. (UP) The new 1937 automobiles are selling "like hot cakes," a survey of sales and mo tor company officials by the United Press revealed today. On the basis of report since the automobile shows of the past week, automobile salesmen will find no dif ficulty selling the 6,000,000 passenger cars acneduled for production next year. White haired and Jovial Harry Q Moock, vice-president In charge of sales for the Plymouth Motor com pany and one of the many officials approached, put this optimism Into words today when he satd: All Want to Ride. Every man, ' woman and child wants to go somewhere sitting down.' Moock said that 1030, with its pas- senger car sales of 4,775,000, was the best year's business In the industry since 1929, and "our statisticians tell us that we can look forward to i 5.000,000 passenger car year In 1037.' Christmas buying Interest In the new models, bonuses and dividends are all contributing factors In the sale of the new models, the survey indicated. Manufacturers are mak ing appeal this year to every type of prospective buyer. Prices range from $395 up and are from $5 to 9200 less than those of last year. Better, Cheaper. Again manufacturers maintain they have remained true to their philos ophy of "a better product for a lower price and hope that the eye appeal and economy of the 1937 models will help boost sales. The buying trend. again this year, apparently Is toward the more "deluxe" models In their price class. Buyers apparently want cars that come completely fitted. Economy of operation, however, is another factor that Is being empha sized and several companies will make a play for the low price flqld, notably the Ford Motor company with Its smaller "V-8" type engine and Willys with Its four-cylinder and completely moarnt74d car. Widow of Wealthy Woman's Son Claims Pre-Nuptial Waiver of Rights in For tune Misunderstanding By HARRY FERGUSON .. (United Press Staff, Correspondent) NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (UP) A pale woman In black went to the witness chair today to open her fight for a share of the $60,000,000 left by Hetty Green the wizened little lady who often carried $1,000,000 In bonds In worn handbag and spent most of her life moving from one shabby hall bedroom to another trying to dodge the tax collector. The woman was Mrs. Mabel Harlow Green. She Is the daughter-in-law of Hetty, the widow of Colonel Ed ward H. R. Green whose zeal for spending money was as strong as was hl mother's for saving It. The pro ceedings before Surrogate Harry E. Owen reopened the strange story of Hetty Green, the curious Influence she had over her children and the ends to which she went to save nickels and pennies so she could, swell her tremendous fortune. Gets $1,100 Month. Green's will left his entire estate to sister, Mrs. Matthew Astor Wllks. The only thing that went to his wife was the $1600 that she will receive each mdhth for the rest of her life under the terms of a pre-nuptlal agreement. Mrs. Green-now seeks to be declared a Joint heir, contending she did not know she was waiving her rights to the estate when she signed the pre-nuptlal agreement. The questions they asked her today were routine. How many rooms In the magnificent Green estate on Star Island, Florida? Mrs, Green did not know; oho had never counted them. How many servants? She did not re member. Most of the time Mrs. Green ; spoke In a low, halting voice that hardly could be heard. But the per sonality of her mother-in-law, dead tese many yeaia, was strong and vital In the courtroom. Wealth for Family. It was one of Hetty Green's obses sions that no part of her estate ever should paw from the hands of her blood kin. Relatives by marriage could receive allowances or annui ties as Mabel Green did but the control of the principal must remain forever In the bands of a person In whose veins coursed, the blood of the Greens. Hetty did not even want her children to marry. Her own hus band was on an allowance Just mea ger enough to keep him out of the Union League club where he liked to sit in big chairs by the window. So Mabel Green was trying today to lift the dead hand of Hetty from the vast fortune, trying to have the courts rule that a wife could share In her husband's estate, regardless of other agreements. - Most of her life Hetty Green never had a home. She moved from one boarding house to another Hoboken, N. J was one of her favorite towns because she knew that if she estab lished residence the tax collector would be after her. Called Her "Witch." Wall Street called her the "witch" because she dressed In black, would make sudden raids Into the market and then vanish. She hired a special train to get from Philadelphia to New York before the stock market closed one day. but had a bitter quar rel with the railroad management over the cost. When they told her sh could save $5 by leaving off a car. she agreed and rode In the cab with the engineer. She never was robust, but j-efused to have doctors because of the ex pense and was eternally chewing onions. She believed they killed germs. Her fortune grew steadily. One of Hetty's favorite Investments was mortgages, at two per cent, on churches, and one time a church fell behind In payments. The pastor told her she would not go to heaven un less she was generous. "Well," Hetty told him, "you had better start pray ing for me, because I am going to foreclose." Join ETHEL WYN B.

EVEN when driving near home, you average 30 stops a day. Going to the stores, mak ing business calls, visiting your friends. That's what runs up gas bills. For economy in today's driving, your gasoline needs 3 different kinds of power just as your car needs 3 shifts of gears. You need one kind of power for quick STARTS, anotlierforfastPICKUPandhillclimbing, another for STEADY ECONOMICAL RUNNING. First to recognize the need in today's "stop-and-go" driving, Shell engineers, after years of research, combined these 3 different kinds of power in one fuel-Super-Shell, the first truly balanced gasoline.
