Here is inc story of a new principle of design that has rocked inc industry and given Hudson unique beauty not pos sible in any other type of car. THE recessed floor in the new Hudson | now widely known as the "step- down" feature-is the talk of the auto- mobile world. And rightly so! This inter- esting development is the key to new kind of motor-car beauty never before obtainable.
 People everywhere are attracted by Hudson's low, streamlined silhouette and free-flowing lines.
 Only Hudson, because of its exclusive recessed floor that you step doUn onto, is able to offer streamlined, loto-bmlt beauty without asking you to give up interior head room.
 Let's take q frank look at the motor car designers problem. Since streamlin- ing an automobile reduces available head room for rear-seat passengers, to achieve low silhouette and maintain adequate head room, both floor and seats must be lowered to compensate for the lowered roof. The recessed floor IS necessity. But it is difficult to lower floors and seats, because in all cars, except Hudson, they are built on top of frame. Only

INF. Vernon Standing
Defended al HEARING
Iby Minister-Broker
By the Asseeiefsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 2.-Charges
that Mount Vernon University in
Washington was being operated as
virtual diploma mill" were coun-
tered yesterday at Federal Trade
Commission hearing by former
pastor of the Boulevard Baptist
Church, who asserted he had 80 let
ters from schools and universities
which accepted Mount Vernon stu
dents without question.
The Rev. Samuel L. Lacy, jr., a
former minister who now is a real
estate broker, was principal witness
in his role as chairman of the
schools board of directors and as a
former president Of the University
of Arlington, predecessor of the
Mount Vernon School.
Misrepresentation Changed.
Mr.. Lacy and nine other officials
Of Mount Vernon and related insti-
tutions are accused of misrepresent-
ing the schools through catalogues
Iletterheads and newspaper adver-
tisements purporting to offer mis-
leading information as to courses
degrees and facilities.
John P. Bramhall, trade commits
sion officer, presided over the hear
ing here and will hold two more
hearings, in Charlotte. N. c., and
t.Atlanta, Ga. - r .-,.
r The commission has charged that
"in truth and in fact, respondents
fdo not maintain or operate college
or seminary in Fort Worth, Tex
and the sole purpose of maintaing
an office in said city is to evade the
laws of the District OF Columbia. -
Chartered In Texas.
Mr.. Lacy said yesterday that the
school originally was chartered in
Texas but had been moved to Ar
lington on the death, in Fort Worth,
Of the schools president. He said
the school later was moved to
Washington to "avoid conflict with
the Virginia State Board of Educa-
ton"
Mr.. Lacy testified that his school
had once bestowed a bachelor of
arts and master of arts degree on
one student on the same day, but
he said this practice was not GUS
tomary.
The trade commission charges
Mount Vernon has falsely said that
it operates Christ College in Texas.

Krug Reports Studies
Under Way 10 Provide
Scrap Metal in Crisis

Studies aimed at providing the
Nation with enough secondary
scrap metal in the event of crisis"
are being carried on by the Bureau
of Mines at its laboratory at the
University of Maryland, Interior
Secretary Krug today advised Pres
ident Truman in his annual report.
Based in part on German wartime
research, Mr.. Krug said, "a process
was developed for removing impuri-
ties from liquid metal by filtration
similar to the removal of coffee
grounds by strainer."
Aluminium Experiment Cited.
Processing aluminium airplane
scrap a ton-a-day pilot plant was
operated continuously for over $50
hours and produced relatively pure
zinc aluminium alloy from which
high-purity aluminium could be sep
srated," the report said.
The Secretary's report also re-
ferred to the bureaus research at its
experimental hard-rock mine at
Mount Weather, Va, to improve
mining equipment and techniques.
New mining tools, ways to control
dust from blasting hard rock and
numerous alloy steels for rock drill
ing are under study there.
The report, comprising 385 pages,
touched on a wide variety of sub
jects under the departments juris-]
diction. Among other things, Mr.:
Krug reported:
Conservation Of resources is nee
essary because of the Nations grow

New ALLEGATIONS Ease
Oil Situation, but Il
Still Remains Critical

The Districts fuel oil shortage re-
manned critical today despite the
fact that the Fuel Oil Co-ordinating
Committee certified its smallest
number of hardship" deliveries of
oil yesterday.
This one optimistic note, District
Co-ordinator' J. Thomas Kennedy
said, probably was due to increased
deliveries by dealers from February
ALLEGATIONS received during the last
few days.
But our difficulty now is that we
can't find more oil to put in the
emergency stockpile," Mr.. Kennedy
said.
Petrol Still Needs Oil.
He stressed. however, that the
shortage largely would be solved if
the Petrol Corp. could get the TO-
900 900 gallons Of oil its officials say
they need to get through the first
part of this month. The firm claims
it supplies oil to about % per cent
of consumers in this area.
A spokesman for the Senate Small
Business Committee blamed the
Petrol firms shortage on the failure
of two other large oil companies to
sell Oil last year to Petrol as they
had done previously. The reason,
he said, is that Petrol stock was
acquired by a third large firm which
the two suppliers viewed as a COM
petitor. The Senate committee is
negotiating for loans Of oil from
several suppliers, the spokesman
said.
Gov. Lane Of Maryland meanwhile
said he has dispatched a barge to
Norfolk to pick up part of the $780,
900 gallons of fuel oil which the
Navy yesterday agreed to lend the
State for emergency use. The ship
ment will be taken to Baltimore.
500 Export Cut Urged.
In another development the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee demanded yesterday
that the Commerce Department cut
in half all petroleum exports for
February and March.
Mr.. Kennedy said he would check
on dealers to determine whether any
are holding back on deliveries to
customers and referring them to
the emergency reserve controlled by
his office.
But I certainly don't intend to
let the dealers know when the in
Ivestigations will be made he
added.
Mr.. Kennedy said, the stocks on
hand today included about $4,000
gallons of fuel oil and 1900 gallons
of kerosene.
The amount is separate from the
100000 gallons loaned the District
by the Navy and the 49,500 promised
by the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers Association, he said
H. B. Noyes, general superintend-
ent of the Washington Gas Light
Co., said the situation was about
the same" with respect to the COM
pany's. oil supplies. He urged con-
tinued conservation by customers
and said the company expected ad-
ditional oil by barge from Baltimore
this week. The company uses oil in
manufacturing gas to supplement
its natural gas supplies.
P, A. Deck, chairn of the Coal
Division of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association. Said the
coal supply situation was noe 'seri-
Gus, although dealers were short on
the popular household sizes.
