twa yean ago, the president et the
Feed Motor Co , said Ratty that
Ford would overtake Chevrolet In
RMMttfer car sales in 1SS2.
"I could say ISM or 1959,” Henry
Fan! II told the United Press on
March I. ISM. "But 1'U stick my
neck out and make it ISSS.”
Whether or not the once most
favorite Ford could have outsold
Chevrolet this year for the tint
time since 1935 still is open to de-
bate.
But less than (our months after
young Ford went out on a limb
with his prediction, the Korean war
came along and changed many of
the ground rules of the auto indus-
try production and sales game.
Battle Postponed
Sharp cutbacks in car-making
materials, higher taxes, price con-
trols, rising costs and credit curbs
postponed once again the free,
wide-open competitive battle Ford
and other auto executives were pre-
paring for.
The defense mobilization pro-
gram did delay the long-awaited
return to automotive normalcy. But
it did not prevent a continued
comeback of a buyer’s market.
Despite all the regulations and
rules shackling manufacturers.
Ford and Chevrolet are doing ev-
erything in their power to win new
customers.
Chevrolet, General Motors’ big-
gest money-making division, has
kept a firm grip on the No. 1 pass-
enger car title. Chevrolet officials
who are quick to smile at Ford’s
“beat Chevrolet” war chant, don’t
underestimate the seriousness of
Ford’s pressing challenge to their
17-year sales supremacy.

Judge Denies Union
Request At Hearing
WASHINGTON. May 10 (IB-Su-
preme Court Justice Stanley F.
Heed Saturday denied a request
by three' railroad unions to stay
a no-strike injunction issued by a
federal court in Cleveland.
Reed refused to act on the stay
request, although the whole court
gave on indication whether it would
approve the unions' motion to re-
view their case and decide on the
constitutionality of President Tru-
man’s 1950 seizure of the rail-
roads.
The engineers, firemen, conduc-
tors Friday asked the court to take
the case, and at the same time
sought to have the no-strike injunc-
tion stayed pending final action by
the high court. The unions want
their case heard when the court
takes up the legality of the steel
seizure.

Court Rules Out
Mon Opposed To
Parking Meters
TOPEKA. Kan., May 10 (lit—A
Kansan who spent hundreds of
dollars "fighting for my rights to
ignore parking meters” lost a state
supreme court appeal Saturday.
J. W. Harrison, a Hutchinson.
Kan., real estate man who took
the case through three courts af-
ter he refused to put a one-cent
piece in the meter, said he wasn't
upset by the high court decision.
"I still won't put any money in
those bandits," he said in refer-
ence to the meters. “If everyone
would boycott them for 60 days
we wouldn’t have them any more.
That's the thing to do." He said
he may decide to take the case
on to the United States Supreme
Court.
The Kansas high court, in a un-
animous decision written by Justice
Jay S. Parker, said that cities
“may constitutionally enact a park-
ing meter ordinance for regulatory
purposes.”
