SHOWTO REVEAL
DEW-CAR CHARM
Styfe, Beauty and Safety of
1938 Models to Be Ex
hibited Saturday.
Style, beauty, convenience, safety
and economy will be the dominating
feature* of the 1938 automobiles ex
hibited at the eighteenth annual au
tomobile show, starting next Satur
day at the Automotive Exhibit Hall,
Twenty-fourth street between M and
H.
Visitors will notice that an Im
pressive simplicity Is the keynote of
the exterior lines of the 1938 models.
The cars will be more streamlined,
but with fewer meaningless embellish
ments or protrusions. One car will
be on hand which Is entirely without
ventilation louvers In the hood, thus
presenting an exceptionally sleek
appearance. Fenders In general will
be more deeply crowned and will
blend In with the streamlines of the
body. Tail lamps and license plates
brackets will in many instances also
blend in with the body streamlines,
thus being easier to clean as well
as giving a neater appearance. Run
ning boards will b: narrower and
less conspicuous than last year be
cause of the additional space devoted
to the interiors. "
Front Impression Stressed.
Radiator grilles and frontal ap
pearances are important in the 1938
models. Many of the grilles are being
die-cast from non-rusting zinc alloys
and plated in glistening chromium.
One car will have an attractive two
toned grille, and many will have grilles
In several parts, separately replace
able when damaged.
More luxurious interiors will also
be noticed at the show. Stylists have
taxed their ingenuity to the utmost
degree to produce Interiors of infinite
beauty In the modern manner.
Fabrics are soft, mellow and rich,
but also durable and easily cleaned.
Thought has also been given the
elimination of the scratchiness of
upholstery. There is a larger variety
of plastics used for fittings, and one
ear has a drastically different style
of steering wheel.
The new interiors combine conven
ience with safety. Most- panel in
gtruments are easier to read because
of their design, size and location.
One car has located the headlight
dimmer button on the floor, where it
can be operated by the foot. Instru
ments are set as flush as possible, to
minimize their catching on clothing
and are so located that it is difficult to
disturb any instrument by accident.
The automatic transmission in many
cars minimizes the necessity of remov
ing hands from the steering wheel,
makes the cars easier to drive and
enables the front seat to hold three
passengers easily.
Battery inner noon.
One car has the battery under the
hood instead of under the floor, so
that it can be more easily serviced,
with no disturbance of front-seat pas
sengers. This is held also to be a
more favorable location for the bat
tery to operate. Safety glass all
around is now standard equipment on
most cars, brakes are all improved,
construction is safer, steering is eas
ier, doors are wider and less likely
to be opened by accident and wind
shields offer greater visibility.
The cars at the show will all be
much roomier for both passengers and
luggage and far more comfortable
than last year’s models. Nearly all the
1938 cars can be accurately termed 3,
6 or 8 passenger, because of the add
ed room for a third passenger in the
front seat. Springs have been im
proved in a variety of ways, and ven
tilation is better. One automobile in
the medium-priced group offers a new
conditioned-air system operated by
thermo-dynamics for Winter driving.
Not only does it provide constant
fresh air when windows are closed but
It prevents the steaming of windows.
Many of the 1938 cars are also better
Insulated against sound.
The auto show is the only opportu
nity the prospective purchaser has to
examine all leading makes at one
time and place. He can save time
and money by attending it and make
a more satisfactory choice than would
otherwise be possible.
NEW YORK OPENING WEDNESDAY
Eloan and Keller Predict Autos to Help
* Prosperity.
NEW YORK, October 23 (/P).—Mo
tor ear manufacturers tonight looked
forward to another “good” year in
1938 as they prepared to present their
new models at the thirty-eighth Na
tional Automobile Show opening here
Wednesday afternoon.
As the first of the tarpaulin-covered
beauties were wheeled into the exposi
tion hall, Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chair
man of the board of General Motors
Corp., and K. T. Keller, president of
Chrysler Corp., issued statements pre
dicting that the motor industry would
continue its contributions to national
prosperity.
Previews indicated that while there
were numerous mechanical improve
ments, all making for added safety
ease and economy of operation, the
greatest stress has been upon “eye
appeal.” Smarter styling, inside anc
cut, has been the primary objective.
Upward of 20 American and a<
least 2 makes of foreign passengei
ears will be displayed. There will be
approximately 250 new 1938 models o;
passenger cars, commercial vehicle!
and cabin trailers, in addition to 101
accessory, parts and shop equlpmen
exhibits.
Alfred Reeves, manager of the show
predicted this season's attendant
would be the greatest since 1928.

Kentucky to Write Final
Chapter in Denhardt Case
by Dropping Charges.
By the Associated Press.
SHELBYVILLE. Ky„ October 23.—
The Commonwealth of Kentucky will
write the final chapter of the blood
smeared romance of Verna Garr Tay
lor and Brig. Gen Henry H. Den
hardt in February, according to Coun
ty Attorney Coleman Wright, when
murder charges against her brother,
Dr. E. S. Garr. will be dismissed.
Last night, in a tumultuous court
room scene, a jury of 12 farmers freed
Roy Garr of similar charges of mur
dering the general. Several hours pre
viously a third brother—Jack Garr—
had been freed on a directed verdict.
Dr. Garr did not stand trial with
his brothers. He was in an institu
tion at nearby Peewe Valley—“too ill
mentally” to appear in court.
Questioned on Indictment.
Asked if he would move that the
indictment be dismissed, Wright re
plied, “What would you do? If we
couldn’t convict Roy, we certainly
couldn't convict Dr. Garr.”
At La Grange, J. Ballard Clark,
chief of the Garrs’ defense counsel,
said he had conferred with Wright,
and the State had agreed to dismiss
the charges against Dr. Garr.
"We had hoped to get it done at
this term of court, as we wanted to
have him admitted to the United
States Veterans’ Hospital for treat
ment, but court had already adjourned
for the term before we could arrange
a conference—so we wall just have
to wait until February.”
The brothers, the State charged,
shot the portly former Lieutenant
Governor and adjutant general to
death to "avenge” the death of their
sister, who they contended was killed
by the general.
Throe Pleaded Self-Defense.
The three Garr boys pleaded self
defense. Roy said Denhardt made a
"move toward his back pocket.”
The bloody story of the Garrs and
the general started nearly a year
ago, when Verna Garr Taylor was
found shot to death in a ditch beside a
Henry County road.
