The 1850 Plymouth car, with i'm portant styling changes and improve ments for safety and riding comfort, will go on display in dealer show rooms throughout the country Jan uary 12.
 There are new lines in the silhou- cite which give the new Plymouth a longer, lower, more streamlined ap- pearance. The changes are readily apparent whether viewed from front, rear, or side.
 Rear lenders, which are bolted on for economical removal in case re- pairs are necessary, have been re- styled and heightened. A larger rear window on club coupes and four door sedans, slightly greater overall width, and alterations on the rear deck provide longer, heavier, road hugging appearance for all models. The grille has been simplifed and made more massive. It consists of two large horizontal bars with a curved-down top member and a single vertical bar at the center. Above the grille the Plymouth name plate appears in larger block letters, and a bigger, more colorful medal lion has been placed over the name plate.

been continued in the ornamentation of the rear deck. The block-letter name plate, the license plate light ornament, the license plate recess, and the T-shaped luggage compart- ment handle are styled to accent the cars low, sleek lines. Combination tail lights and stop lights are set into each rear fender.
 The redesigned instrument panel provides new backgrounds of trans parent gunmetal on spun aluminium for the gauge dials, speedometer, radio dial, and clock. The gunmetal finish is also used on the radio grille screen. There are larger rotary switch knobs which are easier to operate.
 Features for performance, comfort and safety which were previously in- troduced in the Plymouth line have been retained. The car has charac- teristic interior roominess, ample head and leg room, and wide, deep chair-height seats. The six-cylinder, 97-horsepower engine has a 2 to l compression ratio. The combination ignition and starter switch, auto matic electric choke, super-cushion tires, safeguard hydraulic brakes and safety-rim wheels are among the Nhigh-priced car" features contained in the new Plymouth.

engagement. The show will end
with the winner of the Segura-
Riggs match joining with frankie
Parker, Gonzales and Kramer in
o doubles contest.
Past tennis rivalries in which
the personal element played a
large part produced sizzling bat
ties. Tilden and Vinny Richards
were strong rivals both off and on
the courts for many years, and
their matches reflected their feel
ings. The two Helens, Wills and
Jacobs, hardly spoke to each other
during the period they were fight
ing for world honors. An earlier
rivalry between Molla Bjurstedt
Mallory and Suzanne Lenglen
ended in a dramatic conflict at
Forest Hills, with the French girl
walking off the court to forestall
defeat.
Earlier this winter Kramer and
Gonzales, starting their world
wide tour. met at Uline Arena
with Jack winning easily. The
record now shows Kramer win
ming SO of the SO matches played.

rounded play of Kramer has con-
sistently brought out the weak

lem. What he should have is more
tournament play. but that type
of game-hardening appears out
of the question under the present
professional set-up.
There are also newspaper re-
ports that all is not well on the
tour concerning Segura and his
role. The crowd-pleasing Ecua-
dorean probably is the most i'm
proved player in the tennis pro
ranks. yet he is playing second
string. He has shown complete
mastery of Parker and appears to
be doing the same with Riggs.
Segura playing Gonzales, or
Kramer would probably now be a
better contest than the main
event. but Segura never reached
the top during his amateur days
and that is where the worldwide
reputation is made. What the fu-
ture will bring for Segura time

In Bigamy Case Waits
Dispositions From Ita|y

The court-martial of Col Ralph

He now is living with his wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth Louise Tilley at
Falls Church. The italian woman
he is accused of marrying is liv-
ing at Boyds, Md, with her 49,
month-old son.
The colonel's New York attor-
ney. George j. Banigan, charged
that the Army had not conducted
a thorough investigation of the
charges and said he now is in the
process of doing it.

sitions from Italy, the defense will
be ready for the court martial

Los Angeles Rent Curb
Removed by Woods

Housing Expediter Tighe E.
Woods yesterday removed rent
controls in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Woods said he had no other
choice under the law signed by
President Truman yesterday.
He said he considered the Los
Angeles action premature and
said responsibility for the effects
of the action rests squarely, on
the shoulders of the Los Angeles
City Council"
Charles S. Rhyme, attorney for
the city of Los Angeles, asked the
Supreme Court yesterday to re-
verse a recent Court of Appeals
decision that the Councils earlier
decontrol action was invalid. He
acted on the basis of the new
law validating decontrol resolu-.
tions by local governing bodies.
The Court of Appeals had ruled
that the Los Angeles City Council
decontrol request was not valid
because it was adopted by reso-
lu.icn instead of by ordinance.
Mr.. Woods earlier had rejected
the Los Angeles resolution on the
grounds that it could not have
been based reasonably upon evi-
dence submitted at public hear
ing held by the City Council.
Mr.. Woods said the Court of
Appeals made it clear in its de-
cision that his reason for reject
ing the resolution was illegal.
