AAA POLICIES
ASSA|LED ON

International News Service

The Administration farm relief
policies were attacked in two diff
ferent quarters today with one,
the American Liberty League,
charging 1.-The Soviet government
could not have devised more
complete system of control OF the
activities of its subjects than is
embodied in the potato control
act"
The second attack was made in
reports of research studies OF the
whole AAA program by the Brook
ings Institution, and it particu-
larly cited the Governments con.
troll policies in the livestock ana
dairying industries.
The livestock study was mace
by DR.. D. A. Fitzgerald, formerly
of Iowa state College. This, the
institution stated, reached the
conclusion that actual price rises
in the industry have been chiefly
the result of the drought"
DR.. John D. Black, professor OF
economics at Harvard, who studied
the AAA's policy on the dairying
industry, found that little tangi-
BILE result has been achieved either
in production or marketing con-
troll"
The league declared the potato
control act, passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, is unconstitu-
tional. It said shoppers will
harass 100000 potato growers
"for the benefit of about 10000
large producers, with the price OF
the staple hoisted against consum-
ers."
The league said the constitu-
tional liberties of farmers who
grow potatoes "are made non
existent" by the new act.

NEW OLDSMOBILE MODELS MAKE
THEIR BOW IN Ell CENTRIC TODAY

design cylinder head which gives a
higher compression ratio and still
permits the use of standard fuel.
More economical operation be-
cause of improvements in the man.
folding system and carburetor.
Proving ground tests of the Six
have registered 18 miles to the gall
Ion of gas at so miles an hour.
Retained for 1885 will be all the
well known Oldsmobile features of
1894. Principal among them are:
Super Hydraulic self energizing
brakes with braking area increased
by IA per cent and longer life for
the lining assured. The Self-ener-
gizing feature employs the momen-
tum of the car to increase the stop
ping power.
Knee-action wheels of the coil
spring type used on the higher
priced cars. With this construc-
ton, employed and proved success
full by Oldsmobile in 1884, the front
wheels move up and down inde-
pendently of each other, mounted
on the chassis by strong upper and
lower control arms. Thus road
shocks and jolts which would 9TH
erwise be transmitted to the car
and passengers are soaked up" by
the big coil springs. The coil spring
in this construction is called upon
to serve no structural function or
to carry any of the driving load.
Its sole purpose is to cushion the
ride. The effect of this knee-ac-
ton is described as gliding
ride"
Other important features retain
ed are: Fisher no-draft ventilation
ride stabilizer center-con-
troll steering.
In announcing the many inn
provements in the 1885 Oldsmobile,
C. L. McCuen, president of Olds-
mobile, said:
1T is our belief that the pur-
chaser of a new car is entitled to
all that is new and better-all the
important features that will make
that car more comfortable. y"

OldSmobile today announced its
1895 cars-a new Six and a new
Straight Eight, both bigger and
roomier, now being displayed by j.
R. Robertson, Imperial Valley dis
tributor.
Both cars will retain all the en-
gineering advances of 1884 and will
add to them important new devel-
opments of the past u months.
The principal Improvements an
nounced are:
The solid steel "turret top
body by Fisher, having as an integ-
raj part a roof stamped from a
solid sheet of seamless sta,l. The
body has steel protection for the
passengers on all sides, top and
bottom.
A streamline design in which
the entire car slopes gracefully
from the new radiator, back over
the slanting windshield, rounded
top and to the rear bumper in one
sweeping line, accentuated by the
single piece streamline tenders.
An X-type frame, 40 per cent
stronger and more rigid than those
of previous models. A boxed-in
section has been added at the rear
of the frame, the holes in the *
member eliminated as far as pos
sible, and two fore and aft straddle
bars are used over the gas tank as
compared to the single bar of 1894
A complete system of sound
proofing of chassis, engine and
body.
Roomier interiors with ample
head and leg space, widened seats
and smart new fittings.
Huge luggage compartments.
Redistribution of weight to per-
NIT all passengers to ride between
the axles. thus adding to comfort.
This is done by moving the motor
and the seats about five inches for
ward from the 1884 position.
Longer wheelbase on both cars.

JoiIer Recalls
Experiences OF
Past Four Years

Eddie Nett, county jailer, was in
reminiscent mood this morning
and commented on various interest
ing happenings which had occurred
at the county jail since he assumed
the office of jailer there on January
%, 1890.
During that time, Nett said after
some figuring on tablet, 13,473 pri-
soners have been booked at the
Jail. This included the two who had
been brought in yesterday.
The most exciting time at the
Jail, he said, was in 1881 when a
Mexican, affected with leprosy, was
brought in by immigration officers
from the north end of the valley
1t was not known that the man was
afflicted with the dread disease al
the time of his arrest, Nett said
but that fact was soon discovered
and the Mexican was not held in
the county institution very long
but was soon whisked away to a
leper colony in lower California.

NEW AUTOMOBILE MODELS GIVEN
FINE RECEPTION IN Ell CENTRIC

Skies and Straight Fights are big
ger and roomier than ever.
More Newcomers Shown
New Dodge models have been
shown here for several weeks by
RogrS and Tison, and keep in line
with other makes in offering the
motoring public beautiful cars, func-
tioning perfectly and placed at a
dependability, which made it lead
er in the low-price field years ago.
have been retained in the new mod
es, plus all the improvements which
the automobile industry has devel-
oped throughout the years.
Today also, the new Plymouth,
boasting a Floating Ride" makes
its bow in this city, at the sales
rooms of Russell Haas on State
Street. Here again beauty and me-
chanical perfection join with Sc
curity in giving the motorist the
ultimate in all for which he could
ask in a car. Security is stressed in
the Plymouth together with high
speed, the former providing safety
and the latter mobility in congest-
ed traffic which is decided asset
to the motorist.
A week ago the 1885 Fords were
shown for the first time by Edgar
Bros, valley distributors. No car
Ford has produced since the switch
from the old Model T to the Mo-
del A, has made such an impress
sion on the automobile industry or
the buying public. Mechanical i'm
provements and artistic construc-
tion go hand in hand to make the
1885 Ford one that attracts atten-
ton and also attracts buyers. The
reception given it here and else
where is proof of public interest in
this famous car.
All dealers report large numbers
inspecting the new models, with a
satisfying total of purchasers and
prospects being developed.
: The auto manufacturers have
shown their faith in the American
buying public by giving them great
er value at lower cost than any
time before. 1t remains for the
buying public to justify the faith
by purchasing, thereby making for
even greater production than the
schedules-all of which show in
creases--called for by the manufac-
| turers.
A new car is a signpost of pros
perity. Dealers are striving to put
such signposts everywhere and
from the interest the new models
save aroused, the public here and
elsewhere seems in receptive mood
to assist them.
