President Roosevelt is convinced that before the White House is en tirely free of so-called fire hazards it must be completely equipped with — modern electric wiring, and he Is proposing to seek funds for the work.

The President said today that con ditions were brought to his attention in a report recently submitted by the Federal Fire Council after a pains taking examination of the White House. The President said he is now having this report studied by Gov ernment engineers and will await recommendations before he appeals to Congress for money. The President said he had no Idea what the coet will be, but It win not be great. The Inspection by the Federal Fire CouncU at request of the President foUowed the fire In the new Post Office Department Building, after which the District fire marshal made a public statement that the local au thorities were prevented by Federal Jurisdiction from extending tire In spections and regulations to Federal buildings.

The General Motors Instalment Plan enables dealers in General Motors cars to arrange the monthly payments best suited to your circumstances and the car you buy—whether the payments ate $15, $20, $25, or any other amount per month. • • • The most satisfactory and econom ical plan on which to buy a car on instalments is the plan which ex actly suits your individual require ments. Seldom are two instalment buyers in the same financial circumstances. They differ both in the amounts they can pay down—and in their ability to pay comfortably certain amounts per month. If yon agree to pay more per month than you can afford, your car may become a burden and not a pleasure. If you pay lest per month than you can comfortably afford, you pay too much for a financing service you do not need. The General Motors Instalment Plan makes it easy for you to figure yourself what the costs of various payment terms are—at % of 1% of the original balance per month—for example, 6% for 12 months. And it will pay you to compare costs on this plan with other plans. When you do, he sure to include equally complete insurance protection. Under this Plan you receive ■ policy in General Exchange Insur* ance Corporation, protecting your new car against Fire, Theft, and Accidental Damage—including Col* lision. Dealers in General Motors ears will be glad to show you how easily this plan can he made to fit your needs — and your purse.
