DETROIT.—The nation’s car and
truck manufacturers have set their
sights at the highest volume of out-
| p.ut ever attained in a single year,
j • According to the best estimates
available, approximately 3,555,J00
i cars and 1,235,000 commercial ve-
j hides were made in U. S. plants
| last year. In planning for 19-18, pro
ducers are aiming at an increase of
; from 10 to 15 per cent, t unpared
with the 1947 total pf nearly 4,800,-
000. ' . '
| Figures for the year 1947 are un-
i official and subject to revision,
which could be upward as easily as
downward. In any event, now that
1947 has gone, most of the car mak
ers admit that despite all the mate
rials problems they encountered, it
was a good year for production and
for completion of expanded facili
ties.
Ahead of the industry are more
problems regarding steel, particu
larly in cold and flat rolled types.
But the vehicle makers found the
required material in 1947 for a near
record production volume, although
they went to unusual extremes to
get : it into thdr factories.
Their planning for 1948 is based
largely upon the experiences of last
year and most of them express the
belief that if the Marshall plan for
European relief does not bring
about a rationing of materials, they
will be able to get U. S. car and
truck production well above five
million units in 1943. . ^ _
The record for one year is the
5,358,420 units turned cut in 1929.

Tiiot Buzzes Deer, Saves
Them From Illegal Hunters
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. - Joe
O'Neal, Minneapolis ftier, was
returning from an airplane fox
hunt when he spotted four deer
being stalked by four hunters
south of the Minnesota river near
Shakopee.
O'Neal dropped down near the
hunters, who threatened him
with clenched fists and menac
ing gjuns. So he swerved away,
went 1 on and “buzzed" the deer
to put speed on them and get
them away from the illegal gun
ners.
“It's a job for the wardens,”
said Joe. “There’s a lot of deer
poaching along the Minnesota
river valley.” , >

Lincoln's Letter Agreeing
To Debates Found in Attic
CARTERSVILLtf, GA. — A local
business man, rummaging through
a pile of old family papers says he
has found what apparently is a
letter from Abraham Lincoln agree
ing to the now famous debates w r ith
Stephen A. Douglas.
Harry Womelsdorf said the letter,
which he has turned over to a firm
of lawyers for verification, was
written in longhand, signed “A. Lin
coln” and addressed to the “Hon.
S. A. Douglas.”
The letter, Womelsdorf said, w'as
dated “Springfield, July 31, 1858,”
and read:
“Dear sir:
“Yours of yesterday naming
places, times and terms for discus
sions between us was received this
morning. Although by the terms, as
you propose, you take four openings
and closes to my three, I accede,
and thus close the arrangement. I
direct this to you at Hillsboro; and
shall try to have both your letter
and this appear in the Journal and
Register of Monday morning.”
Douglas and Lincoln were oppo
nents for United States senator
from Illinois in 1858 and for the
Presidential nomination in 1860. As
a result of the debates, sentiment
in the nation was crystallized
against slavery. Douglas won the
senatorial seat but lost in the presi
dential race.
