In explaining the reason for the transaction, Mr. Simon, pointing out
that Liberty has" more than doubled
its capacity in the last year;
stated that Liberty's management anticipates,
following the present

and facilities,
and that this slack can be largely taken up by the
manufacture of machine parts for products other than airplanes.
"A close working connection with The Autocar Co.," Mr. Simon said,"is regarded as a sound step in this direction, providing as it does
