WU.K1E Associated Pms Automotive Editor DETROIT, Mar. hugs manufacturing facilities of the automotive Industry have begun to "put out'1 In one of the most extensive military production programs In history. As of today, -the bulk of defense materials which it will produce, along with the aviation industry and kindred manufacturing concerns, have passed the "on order'1 stage and are now on the way. This Is the "obvious conclusion" Yeported by the trade magazine "Automotive Topics" following a survey of plant aotivity ar.d related in detail ln Its current Issue. From this point on, the publication says, automotive and allied Industries will be turning out defense products, in volume and at a constantly increasing tempo.

By early 1942, plants will be nearing their peak. In what it describes as a "defense time table as of the magazine summarizes current activities on defense contracts In the various leading automobile plants. Chrysler corporation, it says, is in production now on trucks, reconnaissance cars, camp heating and cooling equipment and shells and munitions components. By early fall It will be turning out 25-ton tanks at the rate of five a day and probably about the same' time will be in production of airplane fuselages and wing parts. General Motors is listed as now producing Allison aircraft engines at the rate of 400 morithly with 1,000 a month in prospect; manufacturing trucks, reconnaissance cars, rolli-g kitchens, rolling machine shops; Diesel engines for heavy naval duty; fire control equipment, anti-tank gun mounts, tank transmissions and airplane parts, flying instruments, spark plugs, carburetors, etc.

Notice to former owners of these properties that they will be afforded the opportunity of redeeming their holdings by paying the delinquent levies was issued some time ago. Meantime, a number have appeared and paid up the taxes owed by them.

When the sale is held next month, the purchaser will receive a deed such as the commissioners have the. light to convey. It is expected the commissioners wijl delegate a trustee who will be empowered to protect the county's interests in that no low bids will be permitted in lesser amounts against the property. The advantage of holding the sale will be that it will put these properties back again on the active taxable list. The accrued levies on these unimproved and improved properties amount to a staggering figure and If paid, all taxing authorities will benefit.

Hollidaysluir" Draft Board Nantes Selectee The Hollidaysburg selective service board No. 1 last night announced that Jones A. Kimbrough, Negro, of Claysburg who had been by that board for xMarch 20. has enlisted in the regular army service for three years at the Armv recruiting office this week.

Radio Music Controversy Nearing End NEW YORK. March 12. UP) Neville Miller, president of the National Association of Broadcasters, indicated in a statement tonight that the musio controversy involving NAB and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers was nearing an end.

He said that the board of directors of NAB would meet here Monday to a request of Gen, Buck, ASCAP president, that tne broadcasters appoint a committee to sit with ASCAP's representatives 'to assist In formulating a proposal for submission to broadcasters." ASCAP-cntrolled music has been eliminated from most radio stations since Jan. 1 because of a disagreement over fees to be paid ASCAP. Earlier attempts to bring about a meeting of both groups had failed, leading observers to feet that the newest development was a long step toward settlement. "I have also told Mr. Buck, Miller's statement said, "that I think it important that he get into concrete form the alternative bases of licensing which the society is prepared to offer to broadcasters, so that they can be considered in general terms by the members of board1 at their meeting." Miller could not be reached for elaboration on his prepared statement.

At Buck's Long Island home it was said he had left by train for Chicago, apparently en roufe to Milwaukee where he and others connected with ASCAP were scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow in the government's anti-trust action against the organization, 26 officers and directors and 19 corporative members of ASCAP. Miller's statement said that he and Buck had exchanged several letters since Feb. 26 when ASCAP a consent decree in federal court here which Miller said required the society to offer its music to broadcasters on a per-program basis instead of on a percentage of annual revenue, as in the post. Pinball Machine Operators Must Pay State Tax Pinball machine operators in Altoona must pay, in addition to the recently legislated $10 city license fee, a yearly state mercantile tax of $21.50 for each machine, it was clarified yesterday In response to many queries received at the county's treasurer's office on the subject. The stRte auditor general's office Harrisburg requires that annual payments are effective from May 1 of one year to May 1 of the next, and is compulsory t0 be remitted in advance, it was pointed out.

Fees should be paid to the county treasurer's office at Hollidaysburg, which serves as the state's collecting agent Mercantile Appraiser John Mal-'igan is now making an assessment tour of the city and any pin-( ball machine operator not ble to produce evidence that the state tax has been paid on each machine prior to this May 1, will be required to remit $21.50 in addition to the same fee he must pay on or after that date, it wag disclosed.

VAN ZANDT Member of Congress, S3rd Uistril of Pennsylvania WASHINGTON Since the pa sage by the senate of the leu lease bill the eyes of ths Natl are focused to ascertain the tti move to be made by the Preside: under the wide powers vested the Chief Executive by this lciJ lation. Th House consumed oil week and the Senate three wee in disposing of the measure anl the debate In both branches free from personalities, discussin being limited to the facts ln coil troveisy. The Administration forces il the Senate defeated my Hon-. amendment offered by Senalu KJllendcr of Louisiana to prohilv the sending of a second Amerlcal Expeditionary rce to Kurop without the consent of congrcsJ Onlv time will tell whether thl lend-lease bill will keep us out i war as argued by the Admlnlstr: tion. or whether the provisions the bill will plunge this counti Into another seething volcano Old World hate and intrigue, r.e (aidless of the position taken hi th meembers of congress on thil particular legislation, the majoritj are vigorously opposed to Amerlrl becoming involved in the prcsenl European conflict.

Hearings on the legislation de signed to extend the Guffcy CohI Act have been announced fn March 11. There Is very little oi ganized opposition to the preserl law which expires on April 2il The bulk of the complaints hav their origin with the small operators and the hearings an expected to provide, a medium expression for both sides. Legislation providing for th. federal inspection of mines hn; been favorably reported by th House Committee on Mines am Mining and will be placed on thl House Calendar for early conskll eration. Many of the controveil slal features of the bill have neeil removed and the measure Is exl pected to be approved with littlil opposition.

Advocates of the Townscnd Plnil are delighted to learn that a neul poll of the Nation will be takeii on the Townsend Plan and thai confusing questions will be eltminl ated and those Interviewed g'Veil an opportunity to state then! views In no uncertain terms. Heiel tofore the question of whether thij Townsend Plan was feasible ws-l asked in such a manner that tin issue of 01d Age Pensions wa- never given thorough and cleml consideration. Since the Presil dent and others high in Administ tration circles are favorable to universal pension system, efforts will be made to have the poll con ducted in a fair and Impartin manner. At any rate, the Town send Plan i fast gaining momcn turn and Congressional leaders are jubilant over the progress being made in having this great Nation recognize the evils of hoard ed money and the absence of pun chasing power in the hands oi millions of American citizens. Washington correspondents as well as members of Congrrs- were startled last week when an-l nouncement was made that the War Department has placed oiJ ders for 4,500,000 identification! tags for war dead and wounded! These tags are intended t0 aid ill the identification of those killer and wounded in battle and havn been ordered by the U.

S. Arrrnl to be worn by the soldiers "ovetf the breast or as near it as pos-l sible." Washington observers seH in this announcement certain in-1 dications that the President exJ pects at least 4,500,000 men to brj under arms as 3oon as possible. The rise in the cost of product tion is having a marked effect on the defense program. The labor! cost Der unit of industrial output! in December last rose four points to 89 percent of the 1929 base anri is still advancing. The rise reJ suits from wage increases, over- time and reorganization of labon forces to meet the demands of the high volume defense operations.

Such costs always rise in peaciH time as production capacity and the available suppljl of efficient labor begins to become exhausted. The increase in during the month of January in another factor in the rising cost! picture. As a result, it is report-l ed that the Army construction costs are 50 percent above esti-J mates and, in some instances, havi advanced as high as 200 percenH above original estimated costs. Merchants' Treasure Hunt Proves Popular They stooped, they squatted an thev sauinted.

By our standards this is ''not enormous. It represents only about two years' production at our 1939 pace. But Japan has not been blessed with our mineral riches, and her armament program has made iron a critical metal. Up to recently she was taking scrap from the U. S.

as fast as her ships could carry it a quarter of a million tons a month. Now export restrictions have cut her off. So the iron-hungry Japs are rushing to exploit this discovery. They are pushing a 36-mile railway through the jungle from Shih-luling to Peili harbor on the Chang river, whence the ore will be transshipped for its thousand-mile ocean voyage to Nippon for smelting. TRADE Germany is keeping Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway overworked.

New York Importers of Swiss goods tried to circumvent the ship shortage by using that route.
