Drys Show Gains
In Pennsylvania
j
HARRISBURG, Pa. (^(—Scor
ing the heaviest gains in Pennsyl
vania dry territory in eight years,
temperance forces counted 38
communities yesterday as making
the licensed sale of either liquor
or beer or both illegal in their
communities and only 10 that
went the other way.
The wets outnumbered the drys,
however, in 87 of the 123 com
munities voting on the question of
continuing to permit the sale of
liquor and were in the majority in
193 referenda on beer in districts
already wet.
Two years ago, the drys had a
net gain of only four communities
on liquoir and 12 on beer with
similar records in 1943 and 1941.
In 1939, however, the net dry gain
was 77 on liquor and 82 on beer.

Carburetor Strike
Curtails Auto
Production
DETROIT. (>P)—The automobile
industry, which has been battling I
shortages ever since it returned •
to peacetime operation, is facing a|
new shortage that could immobil
ize a lot of new vehicles if it does
not curtail production volume.
The shortage is one of carbure
tors resulting from a strike in the
plant of the Carter Carburetor Co.
in St. Louis. The Carter Co. sup
plies about 90 per cent of the car
buretors used bv automobile mak
ers.
A Chrysler spokesman said to
day that its Plymouth division has
been shipping passenger cars
without carburetors and that its
Chrysler and De Soto divisions
have about exhausted their stocks.
Other car makers reported that j
the carburetor shortage had not
curtailed production and added
that no shundown currently was i
in prospect because of the cutting
off of the flow of carburetors from
the Carter plant.
