British Auto Builders Study
Possibility Of Larger Cars
By ELMER C. 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

which in many cases forms the

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."

MEMPHIS. Tenn. (AP)-A boy.
ish looking 'killer lost his murder
trial Friday night. 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

conscious mind violently rejected.
When he slew, they said, he wai
