Wet weather was proving an ob-
stable to speeding the South Locust
Street white way project, but with
drier weather Thursday city crews
were able to continue tze job. May-
or J. L Wright said
The concrete standards which
will be erected t iHuminate the.
street from the court square to the.
Dallas-Fort Worth highways' fork
were being hauled and unloaded,
and digging holes for their erection
went on.
- Part of the underground cable to
connect the white way has been
laid, the remainder will be pushed
along with the other work as fast
as weather permits, Wright said. He
estimated between 20 and 30 days
would be required to complete the
project unless heavy rains prohibit.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3. —u—
The Eederal Trade Commission
charged 2 automobile manufactur-
ers and financing companies today
With obtaining a higher rate of In-
terest on deferred car payments
than they have advertised they
charge.
The commission issued eight com-
plaints charging violation of the
unfair competition section of the
trade commission act.
The commission said the com-
plaints alleged the companies ad-
vertised they sold their cars on ah
annual 6 per cent time payment
plan. Actually, the commission
charged, the interest payments to-
tal about 12 per cent.
The commission said the following
automobile companies had been
named in the complaints
"The Nash Motors' Company,
Kenosha. Wis.; General Motors
Corporation, Detroit, and its sub-
sidiaries; which produce Chevrolet,
Olds, Pontiac, Buick and Cadillac
cats; Chrysler Corporation. Detroit,
and its subsidiaries, Chrysler Sales
Corporation, and those manufactur-
ing De Soto, Dodge and Plymouth
cars; Graham-Palge Motors Cor-
poration, Detroit; Hudson Motor
Car Company, Detroit; Ford Motor
Company, Dearborn, Mich ; Reo
Motor Car Company, Lansing.
Mich , and Packard Motor Car Com-
pany. Detroit."
Financing companies named, the
commission said:
"General Motors Acceptance Cor-
poratton, New York City, joined
with the General Motors group:
Commercial Credit Company, Bal-
timore. jolned’with Chrysler Cor-
poration and its subsidiaries; Uni-
versal Credit Corporation, Detroit,
with Ford Motor Company, and
Commercial Investment Trust Cor-
poration. New York City. "with Ora-
ham-Paige Motors Corporation and
Hudson Motor Car Company.'
The commission said n a state-
ment. “according to the complaints,
the financing plans employed ac;
tually involve a 6 per cent rate
charged om the full mount of
the account from the'date it be-
gins urti it ls closed, rexardhess
of the fact that the account is
amortized in equal monthly pay-
ments.
“For that reason, the complaints
charge, the financing plans used
involve interest payments actually
about 100 per cent greater than the
6 per cent interest rate, or ap-
proximately 12 per cent."
