(U.PJ Lessons learned from avia
tion will revolutionize the post
war automobile Industry, In the
opinion of William B. Stout, de
signer of an experimental car
known as the Ccarab.
Predicting a "glorious revival"
for the motor car when peace
comes. Stout writes In the Janu
ary issue of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology"! "Re
view": "Waste will be eliminated and
very ounce and every cubit
inch will be used for some pur
pose. We will swing away from
the decorative to the functional."
6tout predicts that the post
war car will have half the
Weight of today's automobile;
that plastics will be used largely
in panels and body details; that
engines will be air-cooled Instead
of liquid-cooled and will have 20
to 30 horsepower in contrast to
the present 00 to 140 horse
power.
A wider, stubbier car, a high
er roof and engines located In
the rear are envisioned for the
ear of the future.
-' "The long wasteful hood will
be a thing of the past Just as
power and speed on the road no
longer will be allowed. Lower
horsepower will emerge as a re
sult of smaller engines and less
speed," Stout said.

HlIS HIGH PACE
New York, pec. 26 U.R
Disclosure that over-eu indus
trial activity In the United
States in November was at the
highest pace on record high
lighted business news this week
The federal reserve board an
nounced that Its adjusted pro
duction Index (1933-39 equals
100) had reached 191 per cent
in November, the highest for
any month on record and two
points over October. The figure
also represented a 14- per cent
gain over the period immediate
ly preceding Pearl Harbor and of
63 per cent since Mid-1940, when
the defense program got under
way.
Other major financial deve
lopments of the week included:
Reports showing that the
Christmas shopping spree thb
year was the biggest In Ameri
can history. Shoppers jammed
stores throughout the country,
with greatest demand noted in
defense areas where payrolls
have swelled to unprecedented
heights. Many merchants report
ed their stocks had been badly
depleted by the buying rush and
that It would be Impossible to
replace more than a moderate
portion of the sold-out lines for
the duration of the war.
Revelation that the treasury
department's $9,000,000,000 De
cember Victory Loan campaign
had gone over the top by about
$3,000,000,000. The S12.000.000,

TOKYO BROADCAST
S
San Francisco, Dee. 26 U.R)
The Tokyo propaganda mill
was running wild tonight over
the assassination of Admiral
Jean Darlan.
Japanese propaganda broad
casts, heard by the United Press
listening post here, blamed the
shooting of Darlan variously up
on the French people and upon
the British secret service.
The Tokyo radio said the as
sassination "by a young French
man" blasted a "sinister Ameri
can scherre" to establish an
American colony In French
North Africa, proving "in an elo
quent manner" that the Amerl
can occupation "was not in ac
cordance with the wishes of the
French people."
The broadcast added few
minutes later, however, that
"Darlan was killed by the Brit
ish secret service as he stood In
the way of their self-sponsored
puppet, De Gualle. '
"Killed In an isolated corner
of Algiers," the broadcast com
mented "a befitting end for a

Secretary of State Cordell Hull
today branded the assassination
of Admiral Jean Francois Dar

act" but warned that nothing
must be allowed to Interfere
with the supreme objective of
gaining control of Africa.
Discussing Darlan's assasslna
tion also described by President
Roosevelt as cowardly Hull
told a press conference that the
part played by the admiral "In
North Africa related primarily
to the military situation and was
of Incalculable aid to the allied
armies in the battle which is
still raging."
'The all-Important consider
tion," Hull said, "is that we be
not diverted for a moment from
the supreme objective of the
United Nations In the present
battle against the axis forces for
control of the African continent
and the Mediterranean.
"This battle Is still at a cru

He declined to amplify furth

Charles De Gaulle, leader of the
fighting French forces, would
visit this country. De Gaulle and
his followers were bitterly op
posed to establishment of Dar

A "pocket Guide to China," pub
lished by the army for distribu
tion to V. 8. troops in the Far
East, contains a cartoon strip on
the technique of "How to spot
a Jap who, given half a chance.
will try to represent himself as
Chinese."
"The Jap will be short, squat,
with almost no waistline; his
skin lemon-yellow, his whiskers
fairly heavy, his eyes slanted
towards his nose," the bookie'
states.
"He can't pronounce the liq
uid L' and hisses on any 'S', so
try him on lalapalooza.' "
Of the Chinese girls, the
guide observes:
The modern Chinese girl, in
her long, closely-fitted gown,
her bare arms and short hair, is
often very pretty. Yet it is well
to remember that in China the
attitude toward women is dif
ferent from ours in America
Chinese women are in some
ways more free than they are
here in America; that Is, they do
some things which American
women don't do yet They are
In the army, for instance.
"But In their relations with
men they haven't the same free
dom as women have in Amer
ica."
