PLANES SEEK
LOST EIERS
Ship Sighted May Be One
Lost For Past Two
Weeks
SYDNEY, N. S. W., April 22.—(/P)
—Six airplanes were headed today
toward the fastness of the Tanimi
desert, northern territory, where
a plane was seen yesterday with a
body beneath one of its wings.
The planes, carrying food an<|
medical supplies, sought to learn
the fate of Lieutenant Anderson
and Robert Hitchcock, only to come
to grief themselves.
The Kookaburra was sighted by
a searching plane, the Atlanta, in
charge of a pilot named Brain.
Brain was on his way to Wave Hill
to poin the party searching when
smoke attracted his attention.
Drawing nearer' and flying over it
he saw beneath him the Kooka
burra, a body stretched out under
one of its wings. Swooping lower
he thought he could make out Lieu
tenant Anderson.
He saw nothing of the second
man. The smoke which attracted
his attention came from a section of
grass and brush which had been set
afire nearby, evidently to attract at
tention.

STATE FIGHT ON
DIFFERENTIALS
Committee of Traffic Experts
Hope To Secure Entire
Elimination
CORPUS CKRISTI, April 22.—
Preparations are going forward for
the statewide fight attacking
freight differentials in the present
Texas differential territory, ac
cording to U. S. Pawkett, traffic
manager of the South Texas Cham
ber of Commerce. Practically all
sections of the so-called differential
territory have joined in the at
tempt which will be made to se
cure the entire elimination of
freight differentials.
A committee of traffic experts,
statewide la character, is handling
the complaint under the auspices
and in the name of the Texas In
dustrial Traffic League, which is
the only statewide traffic organi
zation, with the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce and va
rious other regional and local
chambers throughout the state co
operating, according to Mr. Paw
kett. It is the unanimous view of
traffic men that there is a good
chance of being able to secure the
entire elimination of these burden
some differentials. Such an elim
ination will mean a reduction of
expense of from four to five mil
lion dollars annually to shippers,
Mr. Pawkett declares.
Statisticians and accountants
employed by the committee are
makng preliminary compilations
preparatory to the presentation of
the case to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and to the rail
road commission ot Texas.
In view of the extreme import
ance of this matter to shippers
and receivers of freight and in
fact to all south Texas business in
terests, the entire committee of
traffic experts which is handling
this matter for the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce and other
commercial organizations will work
throughout the case without any
compensation of any kind and the
work will be allocated among va
rious traffic officers, beginning with
the office of the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce, and in
eluding Houston, Galveston, Fort
Worth, Dallas, El Paso, ^Amarillo,
Abilene and Waco.
The preparations necessary for
the proper presentation of this
case, according to Mr. Pawkett, in
volve indefinite detail, but if the
case can be won the regard to
shippers and receivers of freight
id the territory involved will com
pensate many times for the ex
pense and effort of the movement,

UNION REMINDS
MOODY OF LAW
W. C. T. U. Want* Repeal of
Evidence Clause In Search
And Seizure Law
By RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN, April 22.—Gov. Dan
Moody, while attorney general "ur
gently requested members of the
Women’s Christian Temperance
Union to wage a campaign for the
repeal of the evidence clause in the
search and seizure law, the organ
ization reminded him in asking him
to submit the same repeal measure
to the legislature which meets Mon
day.
Statements by both Mrs. Claude
De Van Watts, state W. C. T. U.
president, and Mrs. Eula Twitchell,
state W. C. T. U. secretary, were
that Moody as attorney general had
asked the assistance of women of
the Union to secure repeal of this
law.
The legislature recently failed to
- I
repeal the law which prohibits evl |
dence secured without a search war
rant being used in prosecution.
This bill was killed in a house com
mittee. A bill to permit searches e
cars without a warrant and e
residences with warrants on “In
formation and belief' died in th
senate. !
About 150 chapters of the stat
W. C. T. U. in Texas are appealin.
to their legislators and to Goi
Moody for action on these dry en |
forcement measures at the specia
session. |
At the governor’s office it wa
said more requests had been re
ceived for this than any other legis
lation.
“You are not unmindful,” Mrs
Twitchell reminded Gov. Moody %
“that it was through advic*
and urgent request, whffljyou wen
attorney general, that we waged ai
educational campaign for the re
peal of the "evidence clause.”
Mrs. Van Watts asserted the “evi
dence clause” is being invoked ii ’
many liquor cases to evade convic
tion.
“We should untie the hands of oui l|
' courts and sheriffs, or hereafter
hold otar peace concerning lawless
ness in Texas,” she declared.
ANNOUNCES
I
Fisher Body announces the organization of a new unit, the
Fisher Body Service Corporation, to provide a nation-wide
system of body service to all owners of General Motors cars.
How vast and far-reaching will be the service rendered by
this organization is indicated by the fact that there are today
over 23,000 General Motors dealer’s service stations
throughout the United States.
The system inaugurated by the Fisher Body Service Corpora
tion will be the first centralized, economic and truly efficient
body service the industry has yet known. Such a service
system is possible of course to General Motors alone, be
cause Fisher Body, the source of bodies for all General
Motors cars, is a corporate part of General Motors, which it
supplies with bodies year after year—thus being certain
always of this great permanent market.
Fisher Body Service makes available to every General Motors
car owner everything he may require in the way of body
maintenance and rehabilitation, and will enable him to ob
tain complete service—service for car body as well as car
chassis—from one source, his car dealer. Such service as the
elimination of body annoyances, the adjusting of tie-down
bolts, the periodical dressing of the roof, the lubrication of
door lock bolts, door checks and hinges, the cleansing of
soiled upholsteries, the bumping of fenders or panels, will
now be performed in your dealer’s service department.
The car owner will be thus freed from the necessity of turn*
ing for his car body’s maintenance to small shops whose in
adequate equipment compels them to charge exorbitant
prices, and from which genuine Fisher Body parts are not
obtainable.
Now, through General Motors dealers, Fisher Body parts
will be supplied at factory list prices wherever and whenever
they are required, registering a marked saving to the car
owner.
For General Motors dealers—and their mechanics who have
t
been instructed in the care of bodies for more than a year—
there have been made available the tools and equipment
necessary for actual and immediate service.
Two Fisher Body service schools have been established
one in Detroit, one in Oakland, California—where thou- A
sands of General Motors men will be trained. The Fisher I
Body Service Corporation has also established Parts Depots '
at these points where complete stocks of genuine Fisher |
Body parts for General Motors cars are held ready for im- ]
mediate shipment upon order of General Motors dealers.
Fisher Body considers the inauguration of this nation-wide
Fisher Body service a vital, progressive contribution to the
public, especially because of the immensely increased inter
i f
est which owners are manifesting everywhere in body
beauty, body comfort and body durability. w
General Motors Spring Showing, ApHl 20th to 21th. Be
sure to visit a General Motors"Showroom during this week.
