Pontiac Production To Reach New High For Month Of June Pontiac production during June will exceed that of any month since May of 1931. With the month only a few days old, sustained buying demand necessitated an increase in the fac tory schedule of 20 per cent over original estimates to the new two year high. “At a time when car sales should be dropping from the nor mal Spring peak, Pontiac’s last six 10-day sales periods all registered progressive increases over each preceding period,” said R. K. White, sales manager. “With but one exception, these periods all were much larger than the corres ponding periods of 1932. The Pon tiac sales total for May exceeded production by several hundred un its and was 76 per cent greater than sales in May of last year.” TO TACKLE A BIG JOB One of the biggest jobs assigned to any appointee of President Roosevelt is that handed to Ar thur E. Morgan, who will head the Tennessee Valley Authority which is to carry out the ambitious plans authorized for the development and management of the great pro jects existing or contemplated in the basin of the Tennessee river. Mr. Morgan ha.s been president of Antioch College at Yellow Springs, O., since 1922. The selec tion of a college president for such a task would seem on its face to be unusual, to say the least, but it happens that the new ap pointee had a most impressive re cord as a civil engineer before he became college president. He is an internationally known authority on drainage and reclam ation works, having planned and superintended the construction of 75 water control projects. Among these was an eight million dollar reclamation project for the St, Francis valley in Arkansas. * He has been supervising engineer of government drainage investiga tions, in charge of the design of reclamation works in the South ern states, and chief enginees of important flood control works in Ohio and Colorado. He drafted or assisted in draft ing revised drainage codes adopt ed by Minnesota, Mississippi, Ark ansas, Ohio, Colorado and New Mexico. He therefore would appear io be well qualified for his new luties, which include the manage ment of Muscle Shoals and the vast new hydroelectric, flood con trol, navigation and reclamation works proposed for the Tennessee Valley.
