WALZER LTI f inancial Editor NEW YORK (UPH - While Americans talk about our auto companies turning nut smaller cars in the future, the British arc talking about the baby cars grow ing up. : Britain's Auto Show is in ses sion as a record automobile year for that nation draws to a close. But the mood of that show is described by the British Financial Times as "subdued almost as though the industry were catching its breath for fear that prosperity might not last." Here are the United Kingdom's troubles in the automobile indus try: Its share of the European market continues to fall and more stringent import licensing is in progress on the part of some of the Commonwealth countries. I Add to these fears over the United States market for British cars and you have the explana tion of the blue streak in the auto show atmosphere. -The British feci that no major American automobile company can turn out a small car within the next 12 months, but. the Fi nancial Times points out after a survey that that is about all the breathing space left. "The U. S. manufacturers arc now taking foreign competition seriously," says the Financial Times, and it seems that by lflfifl, General Motors at least will have a small car for sale. "The success of British and European manufacturers in meet ing the U. S. demand for a small car may well prove too great for them to lie allowed to enjoy it unmolested." : In their show, the British have no major new models on display. - The Financial Times' motoring correspondent notes a tendency toward the small cars Increasing in size. "Families have a habit of grow ing up and so, too, has the baby car," he says, "Always, no doubt, there will be a market for a tiny saloon Do your window iwoat?

He lakes for an example the v-crman Goggomobile and says a tendency to increase its size al ready was noted last year at the Frankfort .Motor Show. This year, the makers have brought out a big brother to the hahy the new 170(1 or Royal Goggomobile with ils engine in the front. The correspondent also notes that the Berkley is adding some thing to its slalure in the way of a four-seater where formerly Ihe car only sealed two persons. He finds only one small car has been added to the exhibits at Ihe British show in contrast with many baby car additions in pre vious years. Don't get the idea that Britain is jumping into the really big car class with its production models. The new Goggomobile, big brother to the Pec-Wee of old, gives SH'j miles per gallon against 55 to BO miles for Ihe lit tle fellow with its not unattractive snub nose. There are real contrasts the American motor makers looking hopefully ahead to a year of in creased sales after a poor year and the British fearing a dip after a record year. And here we are talking about little cars and importing them, and Ihe British talking about the babies growing up to become bigger cars. We could buy the little British cars and they could buy our big ones and everybody would be happy or nearly so. We'd cramp our bones in the "tiny saloons" and the British would cramp their pockctbooks buying petrol for our high-compression beauties.

Observers Feel Boh Hope Only Comedian To Kid Ike By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (API Is Bob Hope the only one left who can kid presidents? this question arose again tms week when ole Ski Nose told po litical jokes at a lunch for Presi dent Eisenhower during his politi cal visit here. There was much laughter over Bob's pointed barbs. Many observers feel he is the only comic who can get away with it any more. These lamenters feel that the age of political satire is past, that there are too many sacred cows now. You often hear the claim: Will Rogers couldn't conduct his spoofing of politicos if he were alive today. "Nonsense." says Hope. "I see no reason why Rogers couldn't be doing his act today. Once you build up certain trade-marks, you can get away with more thatv the newcomers can. People expect me to kid politics: they d be disap pointed if I didn't." But he admitted that political satire is increasingly hazardous. "I guess it wouldn't be wise for me to play Little Rock right now." he sighed during a lunch break of "Alias Jesse James." "I've been getting mail from Ar kansas calling me all kinds of names." The reason was the Hope-ism: "President Eisenhower wanted to send the first man into space, but he couldn't get Gov. Faubus to make the trip." CONTINUOUS TODAY! "What Lola wants Xola gets! .

He asked ths jury for the penalty of death, but instead got 99 years in prison. Edward L. Leonard, 28, eH. maced when the verdict was read. The jury deliberated eight houri before accepting the defense ar- gurnent that he is mentally sick, "I intend to be as good a oris. oner as anyone else up there," he said. "But I'm sorry I didn't get the electric chair." In an hour and a half of total recall testimony he told the jury about two murders and" how he tried to make it three. He said ha killed, not to rob. but bpca'" thought his victims were homo sexuais and he hates hou.j.v Only his third attempt to kill had robbery as a motive, he said. Defense psychiatrists said Leon ard himself had strong "latent homosexual tendencies which his conscious mind violently rejected. When he slew, they said, he wai subconsciously committing sui cide. Leonard, formerly of McComb, Miss., was tried for murdering R. G. Bennett. 30. of Memphis, last May 19. He shot him twice in the back with a .45 pistol. 7 scorii Ends Monday!
