NEw FURD TRUcK ON MARKEr

The Ford Motor company enter
the new year with . new product, a
all steel combination truck body an.
cab mounted on the standard Fort
One Ton chassis to b sold as a com
plete unit
The new body is Of the open EEK.
press type, so constructed that it NAY
be readily converted into other body
combinations by using stakes, side
boards, canopy top, screen sides, etc.
"In fact" says the Ford statement,
''the purpose in producing the new
body was to place low cost general
utility truck, meeting both agricul-
tural and commercial requirements, at
the disposal Of ton truck users.D
The body is built Of steel to with
stand the most severe usage and pre-
sents a new development in constrc-
ton. The steel stills are reinforced
with wood in order to lessen vibra-
ton and road shocks, thus making for
more durability and longer life.
The loading space is seven feet two
inches in length. by four feet in
width. and of convenient and practical
depth. The end gate is strongly
braced and secured by heavy chains
which hold it in position when lowered.
The cab, also Of steel construction,
IS extra roomy. The seat is of arti-
fetal leather, well cushioned on four
nch springs. Protection from the
weather. is afforded by close fitting
loor curtains mounted on uprights and
opening and closing with the door. An I
,blong window in the back of the cab
ives ample facilities for rear vision,
dding to the .sifety as well as the
Of the driver.
The new truck which is already on
isplay in many Ford dealers show
ooms throughout the country, sells
orAplete with steel cab and body for
400 +. 0. b. Detroit, being priced in
rcordance with the standard Ford
Dlicy.
In addition to the saving offered to
uck users in this body, is the con-
snience of now being able to buy the
ord Ton Truck complete and ready
put into service.

practical way Of helping the farmer
get more money for his sugar beets

. He AYERS, ON PLEA
MADE BY FALL.
By KENNETH CLARK.
y International News Service.

The story of the famous 100000 loan, supposed
to have been made by Edward B. Mclean, wealthy
Washington publisher, to Albert B. Fall at the
time the Senate oil Investigators trying to find
out where Fall bad suddenly acquired that much
wealth was agreed upon between Fall and Mclean
during a secret meeting in Atlantic City, it was
revealed today by Mclean himself during severe
examination at the hands of the Senate COM
mittee.
Two or three years ago, it was brought out, MIR.
Mclean gave Mr.. Fall a check to be used in the
purchase of ranch This transaction never
completed, and the check returned, ncashed.
This incident used a basis of the 100000
loan story told to Senator Walsh after agreement
to this effect between Mr.. Mclean and Mr.. Fall.
Mclean said he had gone to Atlantic City to see
Fall at Mrs. Falls request. Fall a sick man,
he said.
"FIe said to me-" testified Mclean, "Ned, do you
Hemember check transaction two or three years
ago? Do you mind saying that you loaned me
100000 in cash? Will you do this for me? I'm in
an embarrassing position Some of my enemies are
trying to make it bad for me-
HE assured me" Mclean went on, chat il dad
nothing to do with Harry F. Sinclair or Teapot
Dome.
GAS result said, Yes, will
subsequently, Mclean said, he the committee a
telegram saying he had lent Fall 100000
Il believed it had nothing do with Sinclair or Tea
pot DOme said Mclean. "Fall told me, they (the SEN
ate committee) are barking up the wrong tree 30 !
Then turning to Senator Walsh (D.) of Montana Nc.
Lean said:
g" made a mistake. II my fault that didn't tell
you this at Palm Beach,"
Mclean taking the stand, made a sweeping and
categorical denial that he had any connection with or
knowledge of the leases which Fall made to Sinclair and
E. L. DOheny.

my attention has been called
to the fact that the authority Of
this" committee in conducting this
investigation is based on Senate
resolution No. 2S2 as amended by
Senate resolution No. 294 both Of
which were adopted during the
last session Of Congress.
In substnce this committee is
authorized to conduct an investi-
cation of the entire subject Of
leases upon naval oil reserves.
Nothing that is not connected
with the leases by the United
States Government to individuals,
person or corporations of lands
included within the Government
naval oil reserves is pertinent or
relevant to your investigation. I
am advised that that proposition
cannot be successfully or truth
fully questioned.
Having in mind, therefore, the
subject of this investigation and
having also in mind the wide
spread use in the public press of
my name as one who might have
had some connection with the
naval oil leases, or with the COM
panies, individuals, Government
departments or public officials
who did have connection with the
leases Of the naval oil reserves,
want to make now the following
detailed and emphatic statement
of facts:
KNOWS Nothing of Leases.
IT have absolutely no knowledge
regarding any leases upon naval
oil reserves made at any time to
any person or any company ex-
cept such knowledge as 1, in com.
mon with all the rest Of the
American public, have received
from newspaper reports.
las to the so-called Sinclair
leases and companies:
II never have known anything
about any lease Of any oil land
to the Sinclair Company and
know nothing today about this
except what I have read in the
newspapers. 1 do not know Mr..
Harry F. Sinclair and have no
recollection of ever having met
him even in a casual way. I
have never had any interest of
any kind directly or indirectly,
for myself or any other person,
in any of the So-called companies.
did not even know that there
was such a thing as the Nam.
moth Oil Company until saw
1t mentioned In the press reports
