Survey Reveals
Financing Trouble
An industrial economics survey
conducted by Dr. Lewis E. Davids
of the Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station here, has revealed
that inappropriate and inadequate
financing are the most frequent
causes for the failure of newly es
tablished small manufacturing ven
tures in Texas.
The survey investigated financ
ing techniques that small Texas
manufacturers employed in estab
lishing firms during the 1950’s.
Results of the survey show that
about three-fourths of the capital
is in the form of equity and one-
fourth is debt. The debt is mostly
due to banks and was acquired at
an interest rate of 6 to QVz per
cent. However, more recently fi
nanced companies are paying high
er rates.
Attention Aggies!

‘Racket’ Brewing
In New Car Sales
WASHINGTON—f^?)—The pres
ident of the National Automobile
Dealers Assn, charged yesterday
that auto manufacturers are grant
ing new car dealerships to “fast
operators” and shady sellers.
The auto distribution industry is
in danger of becoming a “racket”
requiring unwelcome federal con
trols to police it, said Frederick
M. Sutter of Columbus, Ind.
Sutter asked the 800 finance
company officials at a convention
to assist NADA’s effort to “clean
up” the auto sales industry.
“Many of our finest dealers are
disgusted and determined to get
out,” Sutter said.
“In many cases they are ‘locked
in’ and cannot get out without ter
rific cost because adequate capital
is not available” for others to take
over their dealerships. '

witnesses said it was about 200
feet long, shaped like an egg,
glowed in various colors, settled
on fields and roadways, and took
off in a rush of wind.
Several persons said their auto
mobile motors died and their car
lights were extinguished when the
eggnik appeared.
A new account today said a
mysterious object somev/hat re
sembling the eggnik was seen last
Oct. 24 near Paducah, Tex., east
of here.
This account came from a long
time physician, Dr. J. S. Stanley
of Matador.
He said he saw the object about
8:30 a.m. five miles west of Pa
ducah. Dr. Stanley said the object
was cigar shaped, gray in color,
with cross members near each end.
He said it was about a mile south
of the highway, about 1,000 feet
high. Dr. Stanley said he watched
it several minutes, and it appeared
to be stationary.
Mrs. Grady Fennell, who was
tending her ill baby about 2 a.m.
last Sunday at Plainview, Tex.,
said she heard something that
sounded like a big wind. Her story,
told today, was that the room
lighted brightly, and when she
went to the window, she saw a
great bright light disappearing to
the Northwest.
Other sightings of a mysterious
object were made in Chicago by
two military patrols at White
Sands Proving Grounds in New
Mexico, and a woman in Virginia.
