Heads Go Strong for
Heavily Armored Cars
By Wiley Maloney
(United Press Staff correspondent)
DETROIT, May 14 . ( UP) Back
beyond where concrete superhigh
ways . are an undreamed luxury, j
American automobiles built to the1
atrange specifications of their foreign
owners are traveling through moun
tains, valleys and deserts.
Kings, queens, dictators, presidents,
mandarins and m aha rajahs are rid
ing today In custom built cars on
highways far from American main
streets. It la the task of automobile
corporation export divisions to cater;
to the needs and fancies of this
specialized clientele.
Sheiks Particular
Tar the Near East, for example,
Chevrolet has designed a special, j
seven passenger car with a glass par- j
tit Ion between the front and reir
sections. An American can't buy a
seven-passenger Chevy In the open
market, but a sheik finds that no
stumbling block.
If the same Chevrolet were to be
sold to a wealthy maharajah, how
ever, the salesman would lose a cus
tomer If tho car were yeV.cw. Yellow
Is taboo In India, and on? ruler n?
s, large principality there was par
ticular to satisfy the fastidious de
sires of his maharanee.
She wanted a Packard, but it had
to match her dress slippers, which
were a delicate peach-blossom shade.
One slipper was sent to Detroit as
a sample. It was found that the
cloth for the body trim could be
obtained from a special mohair fleece
found only In an Himalayan moun
tain district. It was procured. Special
looms were necessary to weave the
fabric and It took dye experts a
month to match the slipper's shade.
Absolute Wlilte
The automobile ordered had to be
an absolute white. No yellow pig
ment, as Is customary In this country,
could be mixed In the paint to give
It tone. It had to be white, and It
had to be white on the top. bottom
and sides. No chromium, no stripe
Just white.
The car was delivered. Some
months later the curious dealer ask
ed his customer how they kept It
clean. The answer was simple. The
maharanee was followed wherever she
went by a service car from the pal
ace. When she stopped, attendants
piled out of the service car and fell
to polishing.
Most large automobile manufactur
ers are lammrr with armored cars.
Most of them have filled special ord
ers for the banana republics of Cen
tral and South America.
A recent order for such a machine
came from President Ttburclo Cartas
Andlno of Honduras. It was fitted
out with laminated window glass one
inch thick and armor plate a quar
ter of an inch thick. The plate was
so hard It could not be pierced by
drills. A .30 calibre army rtr.e, cap
able of going through 58 seven
eighths Inch thick boards, only dent
ed the steel.
The completed car was the heaviest
ever built by that partlculsr man
ufacturer. Kal Shelc Protected
A similar machine was ordered re
cently from Packard by Gen. Chiang
Kal Shek. Its body was fitted with
special space on the outside for six
men armed with machine guns.
Foreign traffic regulations require
variations In equipment that must
be complied with.
In one large eastern empire, for
example, two sets of brakes are re
quired. General Motors satisfies that
need by making automobiles with a
transmission and a hand brake. In
France, only amber colored bulbs can
be burned in headlights, while sev
eral European countries require spec
ial lights for high-speed night driv
ing. In England, right wheel steer
ing is a requirement.

U. S.-PHIUPPINE
TRADE -STUDIED
AS MUTUAL AID
Islands' Model Employer Is
Optimistic On Business
Relations Cites Need
of Political Agreement
WASHINGTON (UP) J. M. Eli-
zalde, ' business man -philosopher of
Manila, came here recently to lend
counsel and support to President
Manuel L. Quezon's movement for
early Philippine Independence and a
reciprocal trade program with the
United States. He came to serve with
the Joint Philippine-United States
committee of experts in a new can
vass of economic relations.
Elizalde has been officially recog
nized in the Philippines as the "mo
del employer" of 10.000 persons en
gaged In coconut, sugar, hemp, iron
ore, merchandising, Insurance, ship
ping and other enterprises which ex
tend to four , continents. Although
not an official, his personal prestige
carries political influence In the is
lands. Elizalde & Co- Inc.. of which he is
president, has a red calf-bound pros
pectus brightened with quotations
from Marcus Aurelius, sea-verse' of
John Masefield, and J. M. Elizajde's
business slogan: "When fortune
comes do not. enjoy all of it; When
advantage comes do not take all of
it..' He has fostered a system of
"minimum standards for his work
ers. Prompt Settlement Favored
Elizalde in an interview discussed
American-Philippine relations from
the view of a business man. and as
serted the possibility that a prompt
and clear settlement of Philippines
political fitatus would pave the way
to commercial relationships from
which the United Statea might profit
greatly.
"The Philippines is not a new mar
ket for the United States, but an al
ready established 'going market.' val
uable . and capable of much expan
sion." he said.
"The Philippines market is prob
ably the most profitable single mar
ket for American exporters. They
might ship to Argentina. Brazil, or
othpr countries for volume of trans
actions, but sales there would be
competitive with German, Japanese
and other traders. In the Philippines,
American exprters can sell for profit,
due to the fact that they enjoy a
protected market. American lines
made money even during years of de
pression . I
He thought It Important that the
Philippines should learn soon wheth
er their sugar trade with the United
States la to be permanent or must
eventually be, liquidated. In the lat
ter event he commented upon the
necessity of allowing a fair period of
readjustment in the Islands to care
for existing investments.
Believes Law Deficient
Weakness in the present Philip
pines independence law, Elizalde be
lieves, lies in the fact that the comt
mon wealth lacks power to readjust its
economy during the preparatory
period before independence. "The
commonwealth government," he said.
"lacks power to conclude treaties and
agreements with other governments".
The debt settlement provisions in the
present law are very onerous. The
commonwealth Is expeeted to liqui
date its debts within a period of 10
years, precisely during the span of
time It must incur large expendi
tures in preparation for Indepen
dence." Elizalde pictured a glowing future
for the mining Industry in the
islands.
"The Philippines." he said, "can
supply America with many Indispens
able primary materials which she ac
tually needs and uses. These can be
made basis for reciprocity."

FREED BUT 1ST
rOLSOM PRISON, CaU May 14
(UP) Ernest Booth, widely known
convict writer, will be paroled In Au
gust so he may seek to regain his
health.
One condition of his parole, grant
ed today by the state board of prison
terms and paroles, will require him
to remain away from metropolitan
areas. He must stay in the mountain
section of central California, in the
care of relatives. There, he may con
tinue writing books and plays based
on crime and prisons.
Booth's life thus fax has been a
continual round of trouble with the
law. He was sent to a reform school
in 1914 and made a break for free
dom in 1915. He broke away from
Reno and Chlco police and skipped
out of the Orovllle Jail In 1917. An
other escape attempt was made In
1924 when he was held In the Ala
meda county Jail before being sen
tenced to serve 25 years for bank
robbery.
His most sensational effort to es
cape was made at san Quentln In
1927 when he broke both lege Jump
ing from the top floor of the prison
hospital. Then he was transferred to
Folaom, where two-time losers and
the more desperate criminals are held.
Some of his better anown books
were Stealing Through Life, Ladies
of the Mob. Ladles in Love.
Booth has been 111 for years.

IN SECTIONAL SPEECH
OF 0. S. IS PREDICTED
BERKELEY, Cat. (UP) Th Uni
versity of California has discovered
that the "southern accent'1 Is des
tined to disappear, also the "New
England twang" and the "Yankee ac
cent." Radio and the talking pictures are
responsible, the university finds.
"Today we are passing through a
period of voice standardization,' said
Mrs. Guy A. Parrlngton. Instructor of
public speaking at the university.
"Along with the radio and the talk
ies, which are playing the major role,
even the telephone Is doing much to
make everyone from every section of
the country speak a standardized a
cent. Idiom, and Inflection which ev
eryone else can understand. Eventual
ly, everyone will speak the same
slang and with the aame voice stan
dard tzatlon.'
Mrs. Parrington predicted that
when that time comes, the American
language will be much richer than it
Is today, as It will Include ths lire
Heat and most vivid parts of speech
of every section of the country.
She believes that even the King's
own English In England will become
standardised with American Englls'i
aa a result of the ever Increasing use
between the two countries of the ra
dio and the trans-Atlantic telephone.
She pointed out tha former King Ed
ward's phrase In hta abdication ad
dress of "long last" has been Incor
p.vatPd Into the American language
to such, aa extent that soma news
papers are protesting thst phrase
should not be "worked to death ."
However, she regards it now as a per
manent phrase, Just as the English
are making permanent in their lan
guage many of America's moat pic
turesque phrases.
Poppy Fields Balded

poppy fields has been carried out

deathblow to the Illegal manufacture
