(International) Japanese Motor Vehicle Is Ready to Compete in U.S. Los Angeles (IPl The Jap anese motor vehicle industry is ready for a cautious try at the American . automotive market with a four-door, six passenger Toyopet to compete with Ger man, French, Italian and Brit ish imports. Sjoji Hattori, assistant export manager for Toyoto Motors, has been conferring with interna tional importers here in the "hot test" U.S. marketing area for the little foreign cars and will return to Japan with both con fident and reserved impressions of how to tackle a public used to traveling everywhere on wheels. "We will bring in a few cars," Hattori said hopefully. "We think that something can be done. It will all be figured out after we have learned all we can about the American market." Hattori, whose firm likes to be known as "the General Mo tors of Japan," visited foreign and sports car dealers in nearby South Gate and had a look at storage yards for European cars in the Long Beach-Los Angeles harbor area. The Japanese car, we believe, can stand up against any motor car for its durability and per formance," he said. "The Toyo pet, the only 0ne we plan to ex port, is a strongly built car be cause of the condition of Japan ese roads. "With your good roads here, the Toyopet will be a great car." High Price Tag The Japanese already have ventured with fair success into the South Ameiican market, he said. Japanese trucks have been flowing into the Latin market now for several years, although no passenger cars have been ex ported to any South American countries. Hattori's cautious optimism was reflected in the reaction of John L. Dormann, international importer who was his host here, but the American businessman ventured his opinion that the Toyopet was "either a year too late, or two years too soon." I told them they'd better look around first before bring ing any of their Japanese cars here for sale at those prices," Dormann said, adding that the Toyopet's prirce tag with im port fees and freight would be around $2,400. Germany's Volkswagon is de livered here for about $1,800 and is rated the best-selling for eign car in the United Staets to day. However, Hattori indicated the Japanese might have something else in mind because the Toyoto Co. also manufacturers what it calls a "Peoples Car a light job and considerably cheaper." What the future holds, if the Japanese challenge the West with their Toyopets, will depend on how badly Japan wants a share of America's foreign car market, according to Dormann. "They could find a way," he conceded. "Japanese industry did it before 1941 and had enter ed the world's markets with ev erything from toys to steam shov els. The price will be the key." 'Casualness' May Ruin Tailor Business Peoria, 111. (IP) The "casual ness" of modern living may run many a tailor out of business, retired tailor Richard B. Bradley observed today. Bradley, widely known as the tailor who loved to talk because of his popularity as a public speaker, quit his 55-year career here Aug. . 1, shortly after , his 78th birthday. Women are largely responsi ble for the "casualness," Brad ley said. "They no longer insist on males being properly attired in public, and men have progressed beyond the stage of shedding coats and neckties in the most fashionable place s," he ex plained. "It's no longer unusual to see men dining out in Bermuda shorts and eye-shocking sports shirts." Hammarskjold May Seek Solution to Mid-East Problems By UNITED PRESS Israel Foreign Ministry cir cles expressed belief today U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammar skjold would seek a solution of all outstanding Middle East prob lems when he arrives in the Mideast this weekend. A Jerusalem dispatch said it seemed unlikely Hammarskjold would visit the Mideast only to press Israel's claim for freedom to ship gasoline by convoys to Mount Scopus within Jordanian territory. Being Solved They said this problem was being solved before he announc ed plans to leave New York Friday and that he probably would turn to other differences between Israel and Jordan, Syria and Egypt. The Mixed Armistice Commis sion meanwhile investigated the scene of recent alleged Syrian attacks on Israel territory and it was believed the border may be changed in the area to pre vent further incidents. Other Middle East develop ments included: Cairo The Egyptian press which bitterly attacked King Hussein of Jordan only last week carried editorials today saying an attack on Jordan would be regarded as an attack on Egypt. Bairut, Lebanon The govern ment of Lebanon won a vote of confidence in Parliament Wednesday night by a vote of 40 to 10 with three abstentions. The vote followed two days of debate on pro-western govern ment policy and was seen as a rebuff to Syria and Egypt. Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT William Raymond Apple, violation of basic rule. $10.

Thursday, November 28, 1957 MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Arctic Air Uninvited Central Area Guest By UNITED PRESS A blast of Artie air was the uninvited guest at Thanksgiving festivities in the nation's north central region today. Most cele brants elsewhere had something to be thankful for. The chilly invasion forced temperatures down from the Da kotas southward through the Central Plains and into North west Texas.

At the southern fringe of the Refueling Unit Goes Into Railroad Serivce Chicago IIP) A mobile re fueling unit which supplies com plete engine "catering service" to railroad locomotives has gone into service in the Chicago area. The unit, which can refuel, lubricate or even replenish a locomotive's hoppers with the sand it needs for wheel-to-rail traction, was made by the Far rell Manufacturing Co., Joliet, 111. The refueler is able to com plete its job within 20 minutes and get on its way to handle the needs of another locomotive. Richard Duchossois, president of the firm, said that the new unit eliminates the need for many large permanent fueling and sanding stations in the yards. It further saves time consumed by "deadheading" from outly ing areas to yards for re-fueling, he said. The unit, mounted on a stand ard truck chassis, has a capacity of 1,600 gallons of fuel oil, 25 gallons of lubrication oil and 23 cubic feet of sand. cool mass, however, tempera tures remained in the 20s and reading in the 30s were common in Texas. A sudden cloudburst inundat ed downtown Miami, Fla., stores Wednesday and turned streets into swirling rivers. Traffic was halted for a while as a result of the rain which deposited almost five-and-a-half inches in a 10 hour period. Temperatures shot upwards in the eastern portion of the coun try where a major warming trend was occuring. In New England, temperatures were 20 degrees higher in some places, and Syracuse, N. Y. noted that midnight reading of 48 degrees was 33 higher than 24 hours ago. The warming trend stretched from Maine to Florida and was felt as far inland as the Missis sippi River. Across the nation the weather was moderately warmer in the Pacific North west with some snow and rain at higher elevations, and cloudier farther south. Today's forecast included rain in the Southern states, and mild, cloudy weather over most of the East. Showers or snow flurries were expected in the Pacific Northwest, the Northern Rockies and Montana, while fair skies prevailed in most other areas.
