BUICK TO UP
PRODUCTION
1947 Models Now Rolling
From Lines According
To Officials

FLINT, Mich. Jan. 10 (Pl -
5uicK division OF General Motors,
which built 1853, 728 passenger cars
in the 1916 model period plans
every substantial increase" in the
production of its 1947 models, &C
cording to Harlow H. Curtice, gen
eral manager.
Curtice made the statement in
announcing that 1947 models have
begun rolling from the Buick as
sembly lines. The new vehicles,
retaining e sweeping airfoil
tenders ard embracing several de-
sign refiaements, are being pro-
duced in three series and nine
body types - the series 10, road
master, 129-inch wheelbase; the
series so super, 124-inch wheel
base; and the series 40 special.
121-inch wheelbase.
Among new features embraced
in the 1947 models are more mas
sive front end with improved
wing : tip grille, n~oiseless wind
shield wipers, wrap-around bump
ers. flashway direction signals.
and new system of body mounting
described as "silent zone" that
eliminates all metal-to-metal con-
facts. 1t provides, according to
Curtice. "a more effective wall OF
insulation against vibration and
road noise"
The number of 1947 models to
be produced will depend largely
upon the availability of raw ma
terials and fabricated parts, Cur
tice declared. Curtice declined to
predict the probable total. He old
say that Bucks full production
capacity will be required to meet
accumulated demand.

Dingy Copper Better
Than the BRIGHT Wire

Bright shining copper may
look more attractive than dark
copper, but the tarnish actually
protects the metal, says Helen
Noyes, Extension Specialist in
Home Management, the State
College of Washington. Once
tarnish covers the surface, it pre-
vents further oxidation. Each
time it is removed, a thin film of
the copper goes with it. Unless
a laquer is applied, the tarnish
soon forms again.
A common quick method of
shining copper or brass is to rub
with hot vinegar or lemon juice
and salt. Care must be taken,
when using this method says
Miss Noyes. IF the solution is
not removed promptly and thor
oughly, the salt left on the cop
per MAY "eat" into the metal
and roughen it..
A slower but often safer meth
cd of shining copper or brass is
to polish with whiting powder.
Copper is a soft metal and easily
scratched with any rough scour-
ing powder or steel wool.

umbia and lower Snake for power
production, navigation and irriga-
ton, is considered by fishery inter-
ests as inimicable to the mainten-
ance of the valuable anadrowous
fish runs of the Columbia, and
consequently has resulted in con-
siderable concern to such interests
including Indian tribes.
The report states that power
studies indicate the need by 1856
of power equivalent to that which
might be generated at McNary
dam, all of the four lower Snake
river dams, and The Dalles dam,
in addition to power from other
proposed hydroelectric plants, such
as Foster Creek on the upper Col
,umbia, Detroit in the Willamette
Valley and Hungry Horse on the
Flathead.
Navigation interests desire a
series of dams from Bonneville to
Lewiston, Idaho, in order to pro-
vide effective slack water naviga-
ton. The needs of irrigation will
require the construction of some of
these middle Columbia lower
Snake dams to bring in eventually
about 100000 acres. More imme-
diate irrigation needs, however,
are likely to be met in the Column
bia Basin and upper Snake areas.
The report explains that the more
pressing conflicts are between the
interests Of fish, navigation and
power. The navigation interests
would schedule McNary, lower
Snake and The Dalles during the
next several years in order to re-
move the most serious obstruc-
tons to the inland navigation to
the Lewiston area. The power In
terests would schedule installa-
tons during a similar period to
meet the estimated power loads of
the region. On the other hand, the
fish and wildlife and Indian inter-
ests urge scheduling of develop
ment which would at least allow
time for the solution of the fishery
problems.

Senate Delay 10 Force
Interim denomination
OF NLRB Members

Refusal of the Senate to act be-
fore adjournment on three top
level nominees to the new National
Labor Relations Board will necessi-
tate their re-appointment by Presi-
dent Truman on an interim basis,
it was said today.
The Senate Labor Committee re-
commended conformation of the
three men who were named to fill
NRLB posts created by the Taft
Hartley Labor Relations Act. But
Republican strategists decided not
to present their names to the Senate
so that the officials could be put
"on good behavior" until Congress
returns next January.
The three are Abe Murdock
former Senator from Utah, and J
Copeland Gray, Buffalo labor rela-
tions counsel, both named members
of the expanded NLRB, and Robert
N. Denham, appointed to the power
full post of board general counsel.
President Truman was expected
to act in the matter probably this
week. In the meantime, the three
men refused to discuss the failure
of the Senate to act on confirma-
ton. None would comment as to
whether recess appointment
would be satisfactory to him..
Little opposition developed to Mr.
Denham, a Washington Republican
who has served for nine years as
a NLRB trial examiner.
However, opposition was shown
to the other two and particularly
to Mr.. Murdock, a former Demo-
cratic Senator who was defeated
for reelection last fall. Senators
Ball of Minnesota and Watkins of
Utah, both Republicans, were highly
critical of what they described as
Mr.. Murdock's "pro-labor" views
and record in Congress.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio;
Senator Jenner, Republican, of In
diana, and Senator Ball voted
against a favorable report by the
labor committee on the appoint
ment of Mr.. Murdock and Mr.
Gray. Senator Watkins, who de-
feated Mr.. Murdock in last No
vember's election, while not a men,
ber of the committee, let it be known
he was uncompromisingly opposed
to the appointment. =.
