OCTOBER ZW, mod "DENNIS THE MENACE" Killer Loses Death Plea Business Icws By FLORENCE JENKINS ROBINSON ASHLEY he wants to see vou a sour a fduc&vwno BAIL . . - &UT DIDN'T TAKE IT' British Auto Builders Study Possibility Of Larger Cars By ELMER C. WALZKR IT I Financial Editor NEW YORK il'PI - While Americans talk about our autu companies turning nut smaller cars in the future, the British are talking about the baby cars grow ing up. - Britain's Auto Show is in ses ion as a record automobile yea: 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 Us 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. ; Add lo 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 feel 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 turvey that that is about all the breathing space left. "The U. S. manufacturers are now taking foreign competition seriously," says the Financial Times, and it seems thai by tflfifl, 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 he 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 hahy car," he says. "Always, no doubt, there will be a market for a tiny saloon Do rout windows twotr STORM WINDOWS Made to Measure FREE ESTIMATES George Clark which in many cases forms the initial stage in the transition of a motorcyclist to a motorist." He takes (or an example the German Unggomohilc and says a londency 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 baby the new 1700 or Royal Goggomobile with its engine in the front. The correspondent also notes that the Berkley is adding some thing to its stature in the wav of a four-seater where formerly I he car only seated two persons He Unas only one small car has been added lo the exhibits at the British show in contrast with many hahy car additions in pre vious years. Don't get the idea lhat 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 SB's miles per gallon against 55 to BO miles for the 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 the 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" nd the British would cramp their pockethooks buying petrol for our high-compression beauties.

This question arose again this 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 lamentcrs 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 sec no reason whv Rocers couldn't be doing his act today. Once you build up certain trade-marks, you can get away with more than- 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 he wise for me lo play Little Mock 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 Ihe trip." The Welcome Wagon Hostess Will Knock on Your L)oot with Gifts & Ureetings from hYiendlv Business.
