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,

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.
