TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. January 13, 1930 ' (AcmtTelephoto) PRAYER? ANSWERED-KT- H. J. James (center), Negro pastor of Vallcjo, Calif., who befriended a destitute white family and had faith "In the Lord and the people of Vallejo," sits with Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Ball as the couple look at their five-day-old baby, Patricia Ann, The baby was born shortly after Rev. James found the Balls then a family of four near Bakersfleld. They set out from Texas for Denver with $67 and an old car, which broke down along the way, and will soon set out again with train tickets from the Elks Club and . $1000 In contributions. New Cars Leave Assembly Lines Af Better Than One-A-Minute Clip Detroit, Jan. 13 (U.R) New cars rolled off assembly lines today at better than a one-a-minule clip, with manufacturers taking full advantage of labor peace to net showrooms full for the expected spring buying rush. Just how long the pace will last is anybody's guess. Those making predictions figure the boom should last through the first quarter of 1950, and per haps into early summer. But there appeared little likll- Income Tax Head Objects To Rule On Overtime Pay Salem, Ore., Jan. 13 (U.R) Kay smith, tax cammlssioner in charge of the state income tux division, today objected to a civil service board ruling banning any overtime pay to employees mak ing more than $2110 a month. A hearing on the matter will be held by the civil service board at the commission offices January 20. Smith said: "We have auditors checking the 1936 returns in an effort to collect unpaid taxes before the statute of limitations is imposed and these men must wifk at night and on Saturdays if tue job is to be completed for the bene fit of (he entire state." Added Service Smith said that during the rush period when tax returns arc being filed, he is keeping both his Salem and Portland offices open as an added service to the fiublic. And he expressed belief t is unfair to ask these workers to put in the extra time without pay. Suld the commissioner: "I fail to see why the amount of salary paid to any employee has any thing to do witli payment of overtime when such employees put in more than the required 40 hours a week. U I am asking is to pay these employees when they work Saturday. They do not ask for anything else." Thousands Recovered Smith said that the auditors checking returns of previous years are recovering thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes for the state. He said- "They put in many hours for which no claim is made. The same Is true of our field auditors who may work in a town until 10 p.m. one day, then when the work Is concluded, drive to a town 100 miles distant in order to begin work at 9 a.m. the next day. No cluim is made for over time even though the man is driving on his own time." Boy Scout News Cub Pack 15, Phoenix Cub scouts of Pack 15 held their first meeting of 1950 last week at the Phoenix Presbvte- rian church. Newlv elected cub master Keith McCracken was in charge. Other officers who were seated at the December pack meeting are Earl Floyd, assistant cubmastcr; Committeemen the Rev. Edward Clark, Arthur Mackintosh, Vern Anibal, H. E. Llnd and C. A. Stothers; Mrs. Clifford Wallace, secretary-treas urer, and Mrs. C. A. Stothers, publicity. Cubs receiving awards at the January meeting were Dennis Beadlry, lion; Ronald Bradley, Bob Taylor, Jimmy McCracken and Dale Haggard, wolf; David Lind, Melvin Bailey, Randal Stothers. gold and two silver ar rows: Fred Oldham and Brent Pfeiffer, weblos. A request for a new den moth er was made at the meeting. Ted Taylor end Cecil Morris showed a film about Salt Lake City. Utah. Den 4 was winner of the honor pennant. Cubs Town Brown, Fred Fay- hood that when the new year is done, the production total would top 1B4B, the best year in auto motive history, when 6,200,000 cars and trucks were made. Manufacturers Optimistic Most manufacturers are cau tiously ODtimistic about 1950, taking their cue from General Motors' C. E. Wilson. The presi dent of the Industry's giant views new year output at "Just about the same or a little less than 1940." That is more optimistic than the commerce department's prediction of a 10 to 20 per cent slump. Riaht now the nation s auto plants are turning out cars and trucks at better than 24.000 a day, nudging the daily output record set last BcptemDer. One of the big reasons for the production race Is labor con tract negotiations which will start coming to a head in May. From then through fall, all the rnmrmnipa except Ford must sit down at the bargaining table with Walter Reuther's CIO United Auto Workers. Dealer Stocks Down Another is that dealer stocks of new cars hit new lows be cause of the steel and coal strikes. Makers have to taKe corn nf that backlog of orders and then get supply lines filled for spring, when many Ameri cans want to buy cars. A a general rule, the 1950 buyer will get something that looks pretty much like his neigh bor'. 1B49 model. Most of the body work has been on grilles with slight changes in lines u give cars a lower, more sleek appearance. KfnHphnker was the principal standout, Introducing a front end that dropped the conventional grill for a huge spinner with nacelle-type fenders. In the lowest price field, the biggest single attraction has been introduction ol tne auiomauc transmission. This luxury prev Inuslv had been reserved for more expensive cars. But it is now available as optional equip ment on 1950 Chevrolets ana will be on Fords by late summer. Plymouth has stayed wun mi- standard gear shift. Low Price uari Two comnnn os have new low price cars in the offing. Nash plans to be in the market by early spring with something "en tirely new in ine i,nevroici-Plymouth-Ford bracket. Kaiser Frazer has a $44,000,000 RFC loan. Dart of which will be used for the same thing. Nash also is toying with a $1,000 tworseater, but hasn't any production plans 'e'. ..... The recent steel price increase and probable higher production costs through company-financed pensions have pretty well ruieo out the possibility of major price reductions. The much publicized cuts by Oldsmobile and Bulck came prin cipally through elimination of "extras," with some across the board reductions on more ex pensive models. Other car prices have remained unchanged. linger, Larry and Loyd Smith received their bobcat pins; Ern est Llnd, bear pin; Bob Taylor, one gold and four silver arrows; Ranald Bradley, one gold and three silver arrows: Dennis Brad ley, one gold and five silver ar rows, and Gary Simonds, wolf. Refreshments were served by the cub mothers. The next committee meeting wlU be held January 24. at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Mackintosh. WAS WELL SCHOOLED Minneapolis (U.PJ For the first time in 27 years Frederick Fries is not attending night classes at the University of Min nesota. Fries says he has taken all the courses offered in the fields he's interested in. Hence forth, he plans to spend his time reading or discussing with friends such subjects that he has not explored philosophy, an thropology or neology.
