To Compete With
Ford and Chevrolet
BY the Associoted Press

DETROIT. Aug 30.-Kaiser-
Frazer Corp. plans to produce a
new low-price automobile.
Henry J. Kaiser, board chairman,
disclosed this today at a showing
of the company's new l949 line of
cars. He said the new bW-price
car has been definitely completed on
the drafting boards and has gone
as far as the clay model stage.
Asked when 1t would be intro
duced, he said that would depend
upon the availability of materials
but added 1t will definitely be ready
for the competitive market when
that time arrives.
Plans to Compete With Ford.
He said the new model will be
assigned to compete in Nne Ford,
Plymouth and Chevrolet field.
That's what we are shooting at"
he said.
AS to the price, Mr. Kaiser said
that will depend upon what the
dollar is worth at the time.
The new models shown today in
corporate many engineering refine
ments as we'll as styling changes
The general lines of the initial mod
els are retained but the overall
height has been lowered and the
rear end also has been dropped
substantially to cover the under
structure of the car.
Mr.. Kaiser said a better balance
has been achieved in the new car
prices he added. have not yet been
set but we think everybody will be
happy when they are announced" >"
New Convertible Shown.
Among the new models was a
hard-top convertible with a nylon
covering that retains the customary
appearance of the convertible styl-
ing. With the exception of the Kali
ser special which has a 100-horse-
power engine, all the new models
are powered with l12-horsepower
engines.
Mr.. Kaiser said much of the
company's future planning depends
upon the supply of raw materials
and he referred to the agreement
reached with Republic Steel for
the operation of the plant recently
acquired by Kaiser-Frazer at Cleve-
land.
This is not the last blast furnace
am going to build Mr.. Kaiser

as high waves pounded New Jersey
beaches yesterday.
William D. Martin, a Federal Co.

traceable to the Atlantic hurricane.
The Federal = Storm Warming

ever, that it failed to see how the
hurricane could have caused high
waves on the Jersey beaches yester-
day.
The surf was running so high and
the undertow was so strong that
many beaches in Monmouth and
Ocean Counties we're ordered closed.
Lifeguards at Atlantic City

American can deny this. But for
them to conspire to a program
of civil disobedience, would seem
to negate the mate interest they
cherishes here. It would seem to
ALLEVIATE them as a e outsider,
which they are not.
True, tradition has not recog-
nized Negroes as first-class citi-
zens, but the constitution has long
since established their legal posi-
ton, and identity through the
passage of the 18th, 18th, and
18th amendments.
The Negroes must be recog-
nized as citizens like the rest of
Americans, and they will be, but
a program of disobedience is
hardly the means to achieve this
recognition. 1t can be achieved
only through the ballot box, and
the Negroes have it today.

With the coming OF summer
the complexion must be condi-
toned for the hot sun and strong
light will surely prove that you
have not yet emerged from your
winter sleep.
Now is a good time to treat
those laugh wrinkles around the
eyes sometimes referred to as
turkey tracks,. Even if they are
not visible you will be most wise
to cream the area about the eyes
thoroughly, each night before re-
firing.
When the winter wind blows
strong, or the summer sun is hot,
we squint and very often one may
need glasses. For beauty's sake
girls, don't let foolish pride keep
you from wearing glasses, if they
are needed.
Remember that eyes are far
