Ford bodies. Now display dealers showrooms

TINE NEW FORD CARS, shown last Tues
= day for the first time, have been enthu-
siastically received throughout the country.
Everywhere it is realized that now, more
than ever, the new Ford is ''value far
above the price"
One of the distinguishing features of the
new Ford bodies is the carefully planned har-
mOny of every detail of design. From the new
deep radiator to the tip of the curving rear
fender there is an unbroken sweep of line
flowing grace of contour heretofore thought
possible only in an expensive automobile.
LOOKING at the new Ford you are impressed
instantly by its smart style and compact, sub
stantial sturdiness For there is about it a
certain character or personality which sets
it apart and gives it fresh and lasting
beauty. You will take real pride in this
beauty just as you find real thrill in
the alert, capable performance of the car.

MOVES TO CURB WAGE
 SCALE SLICES
Takes Action to Prevent Wage Cuts by Govern
 ment Contractors

A move to prevent wage reduc- tions by Government contractors has been launched by the Federal executive departments under the direction of President Hoover, il was revealed in telegraphic advices received today by Gov. George A Parks from W. K. Burlew, admins trative assistant to Secretary Ray Wilbur of the Interior Department.
 Apparently some firms holding Government contracts have taken advantage of widespread unemploy- ment to reduce their wage scales and this action has aroused the ire of the President.
 In advising the Governor of the administrators objections to re- auctions. MT. Burlew telegraphed as follows:
 ''The President directs that im- mediate steps be taken to check tendency of some Government con- tractors to take advantage of the present employment conditions and reduce wages, his policy being to let all contracts on the basis of prevailing wages, contracts to con- tain covenants to that effect. Please take the necessary action to carry out the Presidents wishes"
 There is little chance that any contractors performing services for the Government in Alaska would be affected by the order, Gov. Parks said. However, to guard against any possible wage reductions on Government projects put out under contract, all contracts awarded will contain the required covenant to maintain existing scales of pay, he added.
