J rCETTV lr GOOD MOST V I Of "THE TIME, I KWT I WE DO HAVE ) rfj Car Makers Move To Cut Production 4s Safes Lag DETROIT MV-The nation's auto makers, faced with growing signs of the largest stockpile of new cars in history are launching a campaign of production cutbacks to slash inventories. An industry source says General Motors reportedly is preparing to put many of its plants on a four day work week. Ford Motor Co. is mapping week-long shutdowns a move reported to be dictated by its union contract limiting the use of four-day work weeks. Chrysler Corp. faces much the same curtailment. Ford announced Friday it will lay off 14,000 workers ail next week at its huge River Rouge plant here and another 1,500 at its Louisville, Ky., facility in an adjustment of production sched ules. ' Ford also said an additional 4,000 Rouge production workers will be laid off next Thursday and Friday. Chrysler announced it will lay off 2,000 workers at its DeSoto plant here and a like number at Kokomo, Ind., next week. Ward's automotive reports said the stock of new cars will ap proach 900,000 by Feb. 28. At the prevailing selling rate, the agen cy said this is equal to a 69-day supply and the highest point ever reached in automotive history, In the last two months the auto makers have lowered their pro duction sights three times. They plan to build 1,418.000 units in the present quarter. That s a 21 per cent decrease from the first quar ter of 1957. It's also the lowest since 1952 when production was cut back because of the Korean War. Auto firms and the United Auto Workers frequently disagree on the number o unemployed. According to company figures, Ford employs 120,000 hourly rated workers at some 80 plants across the nation, or about 23,000 less than in the first quarter last year. General Motors reports an esti mated 345,000 hourly rated env ployes, compared to 387,000 at this lime last year. Chrysler employed an estimated 108,000 production Billboard Used By Pastor To Get Message To Public workers in the first quarter of 1957 and about 80.000 currently. The production of cars and trucks this week was forecast at the lowest level of the year 94, 573 cars and 17,476 trucks com pared to 101,656 cars and 18,709 trucks last week. All the auto firms reported shut downs during the week, with the exception of American Motors which stepped up its Rambler production. Curtailed production was not the only reason for the shutdowns. Ab senteeism due to severe weather played its part. Labor disputes also were blamed. Snake Venom Theft Listed HOLLYWOOD. Calif. I The door of opportunity is opened by pushing. Take life as you find it, but don't leave it so. Beaten paths are for beaten men. So go the "Stop-Light Sermons" posted weekly by a board of the church billboard, the Rev. Dale H. Conrad, pastor of Crescent Heights Methodist Church. They flash their messages to motorists passing the busy corner of Fairfax and Fountain avenues. Newspaper columnists frequently quote them. A Hollywood songwriter was so taken with "The train on the rail road to heaven carries no baggage cars" that he asked the clergy man for permission to write such a song. The Rev. Mr. Conrad switched several years ago from straight announcements of sermon titles. "I started thinking of a sermon out there for all the people who never would step in the door of a church," he said yesterday. "They had to be short and say something I just sort of went on from there. Other pithy proverbs he has posted some original, some culled from his reading, some from parishioners: Is there any dust on your Bible? Your day goes the way the cor ners of your mouth turn. If your religion costs little it is worth little. If you are too busy to pray, you are too busy. A man is known by the company he keeps out of. A man wrapped up in himself makes a pretty small parcel. A fool's tongue is always long enough to cut his throat. Faith keeps the man who keeps the faith. A Bible in the hand is worth two on the shelf. A lot of kneeling keeps you in good standing with God. The Christ we will not share we cannot keep. An ounce of church is worth a pound of police court. The Sermon on the Mount will lift you out of the valley. One motorist wrote the pastor: "I started to apply your sayings in my life for the week they were up. It's worked wonders for me." One woman calls him to criti cize, however, if the message isn't cheerful or mentions the dev il, as in: Sleeping saints serve balan. The Rev. Mr. Conrad said his own favorite is this sign he posted last June after getting a call from a hospital: It's a boy!!! Rail Groups Plan KF Meet Forming Of Solidarity Council Hands Jolt To African Leaders MIAMI, Fla. Ifl Enough con centrated snake venom to cause sudden death to 600 persons was missing Saturday from a Miami snake farm. Two sealed bottles of dried venom and two lightly covered vials of liquid venom were taken Friday from the laboratory of the Miami Serpentarium. William E. Haast, the owner, called for the return of the four bottles of deadly copperhead, wa ter moccasin and viper venom. "No questions asked," said Haast, "Just get it . back before somebody dies. "If a grain of it touches a cut or a sore you may be dead in minutes," he said. He said he believes someone touring the snake farm took the venom on impulse, not realizing its danger or its value. The venom representing a year and a half of work, is worth $5,700. BUSY AS A BEE CADDO. Okla. Wt-Mrs. Vettie Jones quilted 46 double-bed size quilts last year, and also made five baby-bed quilts for good measure. Klamath Area businessmen are advised that the 11th annual convention of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Ladies Auxiliary will be held in Klamath Falls on June 16 and 17. Norman Hansen, treasurer of the local brotherhood and treasur er of the convention, advises that the following listed persons have been named to the committee tor sales advertising and will solicit ads from businessmen in the near future: Norman Hansen. Fred B. Eck, D. L. Dodson, and E. Han Hansen is particularly interested in listing the names of the com mittee at this time inasmuch as other persons now in Klamath Falls are soliciting advertising in connection with the convention for an out of town publication. He adds that the only advertise ment soliciting personnel associ ated with the local convention, seek ing ads which will be a part of the convention program, are those listed above. LONDON (.-Establishment of an Asian-African permanent soli darity council in Cairo has handed the segregationist government of South Africa a rude jolt. Egypt's capital is 3.500 miles from the Limpopo River. South Africa's northern boundary. But the South African government looks with horror upon the prospect of a Russian sitting on such a council in Cairo. The South Africans have in mind Rus sian intentions toward the conti nent's 200 million black Africans. The South African government practices apartheid, creating a wall between the white and black peoples of the union. The policy has aroused tremendous resent ment among Africans, and. in ef fect, may be of considerable as sistance to the Russians in their drive for recruits. The government has an obvious fear of Communist influence in the dark continent. It has no dip lomatic relations with Moscow and it has outlawed the Commu nist party. South Africa uses a broad trea son law both in its suppression of the Communists and its attempts to discourage nationalist activities among black Africans. Under this law, whose terms are highly flex ible, it recently indicated 95 per sons on high treason charges con nected with alleged plans for a Communist state in South Africa, this, in the twin campaign against African nationalism and communism, South Africa has tended to lump the two together. The Russians for their part, happily joined with other Asians and Africans at the Cairo Confer ence last year in condemning "racial discrimination in South "Africa," thus laying some claim to allegiance from the under ground nationalist forces. South African fear of commu nism is genuine enough, even though the country's policies may LONG-TERMER DENVER W Mrs. Fannie Lor ber this year was elected to her Slst consecutive one-year term as president of the non-sectarian Jew ish National Home for Asthmatic Children. contribute to its growth. Foreign Minister Eric Louw Long has been issuing warnings that a real threat exists of infiltration by way of Cairo. He has also pictured Prime Minister Nehru of India as looking upon Africa as one answer to South Asia's- vast population problems. The South African press, usual ly preoccupied with racial prob lems, viewed the Asian-African meeting in Cairo as a new threat to the white man's future in tht continent.

Red Leader Gets Prison GREENSBORO. N.C.
