Pontiac has a number of un-
usual features in it's extensive 1850
line which includes 90-h.p. SKIES
and 108-h.p. straight eights in the
Chieftain and Streamliner series
with Hydra-Matic as optional.
Mechanics will welcome the new
"access door" which eases the job
Of adjusting tappets. Door locks
are so designed that they cannot
freeze, and all copper wire for
spark plug, coil and distributor
cables has been replaced with car
bon impregnated fiber material
with conductive coatings.
Hudson is featuring push but
ton door handles and a simulated
fabric finish for the instrument
panel. Additional elbow room for
passengers is obtained through re-
cessing door handles, window
cranks and door pull-to straps.
The new Pacemaker, a 119-inch
wheelbase job, is the feature of
the Hudson line this year. Drive
Master. Hudson's special auto
matte shifting system is optional
on the complete line, which in
cludes the 124-inch Supers and
Commodores.
Packard's chief contribution to
the 1850 scene is its Ultramatic
transmission, so named because
it combines a fluid torque con-
verter with direct drive. In this
design the torque converter is
used as an accelerating gear
rather than as a running gear.
For acceleration in the torque
converter the driver kicks down
on the accelerator pedal as in
reaching for underdrive with a
conventional overdrive or with
automatic gearing providing un-
derdrive. Ultramatic is standard
on the Packard 160-hp. Custom
Fights, and is optional on the
super and super de luxe.
New Body For Olds.
The Olds 98 has been given
new design for 1850 and features
an unusually wide and low Fisher
body on a wheelbase of 122 inches.
The 135-h.p. overhead valve Rocket
engine powers the SO as we'll as
the 88 series, and is used in COM
bination with Hydra Matte. Holi-
day coupes are available in all
three series, including the six

tained increased ground clearance
by changing the 3 inch shackles
to 2l2 Inch size. There's a three
point belt of narrow-wedge type
to check slippage of the water
pump drive, and fan speed has
been reduced to 9-10th of engine
speed.
Nash is using "Seal-Flex"
piston rings in the lowest of the
four ring grooves. These are a
factor in providing better Oil
mileage and longer motor life.
Significant of the trend toward
higher compression is the use of
10 to l ratio for the Statesman
engine and 73 to l for the Am
bassador. This car, incidentally,
has the exclusive feature of en-
closed front wheels, and it car
ries sliding bin-type glove COM
partment which won't let things
fall out. Right above this is a
roll panel which covers the radio
and secondary driving controls. 1t
can be locked by the same lock
that takes care of the glove COM
partment.
Doors Cut Into Roof.
A feature Of the 1850 Kaiser
which is just coming into produc-
ton is easier entrance due to cut
ting the doors into the roof. The
windshield dips to the middle and
windshield posts are so narrow
the driver gets a stereoscopic eff

again feature four doors, while the
Vagabond will be unusual with
only three doors. The new un-
named low-priced car from the
Kaiser-Fra plant is as yet in
the design stage, but it is an
nounced that WHY'S will build the
engines. Buyers can have choice
of four or a six-cylinder motor,
and replacement with a six can
be made later If buyer first Sc
lects a four.
That single unit bumper and
grille is now on all Bucks. Park
ing and back-up lights are
mounted in the bumpers, and the
luggage compar TIM ent is now
opened by turning the key and
lifting it by the familiar rear
nameplate. To close. the lid is
merely lowered and locked auto
matically without use of a key.

Buick Super series is new en-
gine designated as F-263 which
develops 1874 horsepower for cars
with conventional clutch and
transmission. and 1913 horsepower
for cars with DynafloW. Engines
have hydraulic valve lifters.
Engineers for DeSoto claim that
no American car has larger brakes
than the 1850 version of the
ChrySler-built product, each brake
being II inches in diameter.
Lining is cyclebonded. Included in
the line of IL models is the new
DeSoto Sportsman, a hard-top
convertible. Rear wheel tread for
the whole line has been increased
by 29/16 inches. An interesting
feature is use Of new kind of

spinner frontal appearance, Is
the coil spring suspension for
both upper and lower control
arms which are pivoted so that
they rake to the rear at a 15-de-

improved action on rough roads.
Studebaker engines have a Z to
l compression ratio, with a rs
to l for high attitudes. Included
for 1850 is the 124-inch wheel
base Land Cruiser.
Lincoln has undergone a num-
ber of changes, including the
pucktype engine mounts. heavier
frames, flve-bladed fan to reduce
noice, fibreglass sound-proofing
and the tWo-second cold starting
system combined with low idline
to check creeping when starting
a warm engine with Hydra Matte

In the 1850 Chrysler line itself
there are numerous changes and
longer tenders carried to their full
height nearly to the rear of the
car. Tread of the six-cylinder
models has been increased the
same as on DeSoto, and the line
includes the new Newport, an
other of the hard-top convertibles
Larger brakes are used on the
SKIES, and the eights have a
booster.
New Disc Brakes.
Those who are interested in
mechanical trends are quick to
note that on the Town and
County Newport as we'll as the
Crown Imperial models there is
presented a disc type of brake
Outstanding features of this brake
are its self-energizing action and
the fact that it freely throws off
any dirt or water that may get
on it.
Contributing to the disc brake
trend is the Hydradisc brake on
Ithe 1850 Crosley. This particular
version of disc braking, however
features friction spots. Because
the manual parking brake is
linked directly with the hydraulic
system these spots hold the car in
check whether the driver is op-
Grating the foot pedal or the
hand lever. Adverse operating
conditions appear to have no
effect on these brakes, and there
is just one external screw adjust
ment. Crosley is continuing to
feature the cast-iron block. over

motor with valve rotators.
Both Jeep and Jeepster models
of the WHY'S are continuing for
1850, but in the development stage
there is a new engine of higher
compression which will appear in
both four and six cylinder ver-
sions. There probably will be
considerable activity in the lower
priced field when this is Joined by
the car that is cooking in the
Nash factory and the new car
from Kaiser-FraZer.
Replaceable Grilles.
Dodge has a new one in grllles
for 1850, composed of nine sep
arately replaceable pieces. Dodge
rear tread has been jumped to
SO inches All Wayfarer. Meadow
brook and Coronet Dodges are
standard equipped with fluid
drive, but as optional equipment
on Coronet one can add the Gyro-
Matte transmission which is one
of the automatics. The Dodge
Diplomat is the name given to the
six-passenger hard-top convert
ible.
Chevrolet's Powerglide is a
torque converter similar to that
used on Buick. Low can be used
on this transmission for flash get

power engine which is coupled
with the new transmission as an
optional extra for 1850 gives no.

is the growing interest in special

hibited so much American in

more than dig around under the

of what he finds of more than

minor yet they will mean much to
some buyer when the latter dis
covers what he has acquired in
addition to the complete package
itself.
Carburetor Heating System.
Typical is Cadillac's new car
buretor heating system which re-
suits in faster warm-up and less
ened possibility of air-borne mois-
ture condensing and freezine in
the idling jets during humid but

While it has been on the streets
since late November the 1850 Ford
has a new contour for the cam
shaft cams which is not too we'll

10 COMMANDMENTS
STILL BIN DING IS
EvANGELST'S VIEWS

Man has thought and dreamed.
philosophers and scientists have
tolled and delved; knowledge, Wis
dom and prudence have multiplied
but there has never come from the
lip or pen of man a law which
could equal the ten short precepts
OF the decalogue." proclaimed Evan
gelist Worries in his lecture last night
IN the Prophetic Light auditorium
on the corner of Second and Main.
If every one obeyed the law of
God as found in the Ten Command
ments." he continued, there would
be no war, theftS, murders, divorces
and no crimes or disorders of any
kind. We would not need legislating
bodies getting together and making
laws until they have become SO
numerous nobody under the sun can
know what they are We would not
need to be paying billions of dollars
a year to combat crime. We would
not need an army of police to keep
order. and jails, penitentiaries and
prisons all over the country to house
criminals. If all obeyed the Ten
Commandments it would be heaven
on earth"
In response to the evangelist's
call. the entire congregation stood,
manifesting that they believed the
Ten Commandment law is still bind
ing and should be obeyed by Chris
tan people.
The question to be answered to-
night is, why do a few religious
sects keep Saturday instead of Sun
day?" Mr.. Worries says this question

MEDICAL CENSUS OF
TERRITORY IS MADE
FOR CIVIL Defense

A QUESTIONABLE has been mailed
through local civil defense directors
to all doctors in Alaska requesting
their status as to possible call tc
military duty and their availability
in serving their communities in
event of emergencies during disaster
as defined under the federal Civil
Defense Plan.
The doctors have been asked
whether they are willing to serve
on mobile teams in connection with
mutual aid among the communities.
Similar missionaries have been
sent to each mayor concerning the
registration of morticians, nurses
and engineers construction, SAM
tary, civil, etc..
DIR. C. Earl Albrecht, Commits
sioner of the Alaska Department of
Health, is the deputy director in
charge of this portion of the terri
tory's civil defense plan. Col. Joseph
D. Alexander is the territorial direc-
tor of civil defense.
The personnel in the lists will
naturally be contacted by radio and
telephone in case of emergency
Means Of transportation for the
medical personnel and funds for it
are not known at the present time.
The contemplated appropriation
and legislation will definitely pro-
vide funds for their transportation
At present, the only medical sup
plies at the disposal of the above
personnel are the medical supplies
on hand in communities on COM
mercial basis. These supplies viii
possibly be augmented by certain
medical supplies stockpiled by the
Alaska Railroad The stockpiled sup
plies would undoubtedly be avail
able in case Of need.
The Alaska National Guard il
directed to operate as unit under
its own commander. The guard vii
be utilized insofar as possible fol
appropriate military tasks in the
communities. 1t is, of course, avail
able for similar service in any Sec
ton of the territory upon orders of
the governor.
1t should be strictly understood
that the National Guard is not to
be given the entire task of handling
the civil defense plan in any COM
munity, but that it should be the
responsibility of all citizens. This
stipulation is made due to the fact
that the National Guard is subject
to call into the federal service upon
order of the President.
