ST. LOUIS 



That the hoped for reopening at cnpaoity of the large automobile fac- 

 tories in St. Louis has proven a disappointment is evident from the fact 

 that the Ford assembly plant here laid off four hundred men in the past

 is only temporary, though, said Charles Horch, chief clerk, and added that 

 he expected the plant to be going full blast within a couple of weeks.
