No Fan Of Senator Tydinqs

Inc people OF Montgomery County are
to be congratulated upon their excellent
and discerning judgment, shown by
ignoring almost completely the recent
speech by Senator Willard Tydings at
Leland Junior High School. Although
one OF the best bands in the World-the
United States Marine Band-provided
fne musical background, a generous
count OF the audience would be placed
somewhere between 100 and $780,
Others may possibly desire to analyze
Senator Tydings' speech, but it seems
to me quite sufficient to say that the
Senator:
l. Talked like Walter Winchell or
Drew Pearson in his weak attempt at
war scare"
2. Sounded like Secretary Acheson by
mentioning the Russians many times
but not once being in any way critical
of the Communist dictatorship.
3. Reminded listeners of President
Truman by his haphazard and airy way
OF dlsmisSing from serious consideration
such matters of national concern as
protective tariffs, balancing the budget,
and the ever mounting public debt.
4. Seemingly borrowed from Henry
Wallace and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
many meaningless mouthings for inter-
nationalism dealing with Atlantic Pact
arms augmentation and the Marshall
Plan.
Altogether, Mr.. Tydings' views would
be certainly the kind any sincere Ameri-
can could well afford to ignore, and the
people of Montgomery Country are OBJ
viously clear-minded enough to realize
this fact

Sense of Speed

Maybe you'd noticed it, but the
reason the car so often is going
way above the legal speed limit
when entering a town is merely
because the tendency is to lose
sense of speed when on the open
road. It's because fewer nearby
objects are passed.
Also on the open road there IS
a tendency every now and again
to raise the speed a few miles
per hour. 1t is a dangerous
build-up at best. A good way tc
check this is to slow down to 35
miles an hour every now and
again.

More Specialization, Expansion
Seen for u. S. Truckinq Industry

its way to becoming one of the
Nations leading industries.
During the first World War,
due to a tragic lack of advance
planning and coordination, our
major ports were jammed with
more freight than they could
handle. Facilities for the move
Iment of these goods were far less
than adequate. Transportation
men in Government and private
industry began encouraging the
use of trucks in the intercity
movement of goods. At that time
there were fewer than 100000
trucks in the whole country, but
they proved their worth.
Increased TenfoId.
Between the wars, Americas
truck fleet increased some 10
times, until at the beginning of
the second World War 5 million
vehicles were available to handle
the vast amounts of supplies nee
essary to supply modern warfare.
In the event of a future war,
perhaps brought home more fully
by the shifting of backgrounds
to our own country, a greatly
increased reliance on highway
transportation would become nee
essary.
The trucking industry's growth
since the second war has been
rapid. Literally millions of dol
lars went into new equipment as
quickly as it became available,
so that today the industry is op-
Grating more than 100000
trucks.
Still, this growing field of
transportation is to a large ex-
tent hamstrung by unenlightened
legislation within each separate
State that precludes completely
efficient national motor transpor-
tation system. Size and weight
limitations vary to a wide de-
gree between States. Special
equipment must be used for cer-
tain regions, trucks may carry
only comparatively small payloads
in other regions, entire loads in
some cases must be shifted to
different type carriers at State
borders.
However, there has been a
gradual adjustment of some of
the greater differences in load
limits, enabling truck operators
to reduce costs markedly with re-
sulting lower prices for the con-
sumer.
Continued Expansion Seen.
The future will undoubtedly see
continued expansion in the use of
truck service. Further specializa-
ton in the swift and economical
transport of commodities requir-
ing special conditions and atten-
ton will certainly take place.
Improvements are expected
within the industry to meet great
er demands. New lightweight

Fill 'er up!''

Familiar words, these. Yet they
are the basis of a lot of current
controversy. Stopping for gas has
become such a routine few drivers
stop to realize that they may be
missing many an opportunity by
keeping the process too conven-
tional. Many serious blunders
are made at the corner filling sta
ton.
The motor industry is alarmed
over the growing tendency toward
impatience. This desire to make
the refill period as brief as pos
sible is partly due to over
emphasis on service on the part
of many Well-meaning station at
tendants. Suspicious that some
one wants to sell him something,
the motorist often says the engine
doesn't need water or oil when
actually he doesn't know for sure.
Filling stations are oases. Many
operators have had years of ex-
perience with cars. Equipment is
generally good; merchandise of
top quality. When a car owner
rushes in and out he may be miss
ing a good bet by not pausing
long enough to enjoy extra serv-
ices.
First, however, there are some
mental traps which should be
lodged. On a trip. for instance,
you can't wait for the oil of a
hot engine to drain to the oil
pan, but you can avoid the error
of overfilling the crankcase. II
the engine should take a half
quart to bring the level up, save
the other half for a later inspec-
ton.
Around town always buy your
oil in cans and do your oil level
checking at your own garage when
the engine has been standing.
That's the only way to know the
true oil level.
Where the radiator is equipped
with pressure cap don't let the
man at the filling station remove
it when the engine is warm. If
the cap is removed the advantages
of pressure cooling will be lost
until the engine cools off and is
heated again.
Evening star., 1950-02-19
Don't Cut Stops for Gas Short;
Take q Look Under the Hood

If the engine is warm, and the
water level actually is low, you
will know it by a higher reading
of the motor heat gauge. Oil
pressure will drop. Fortunately
where cars are equipped with
pressure systems there is little
coolant loss, unless leakage de-
velOps.
You'll think you are just on a
buying spree when you accept
some of the products the filling
station man brings to your notice,
but in most cases you'll be invest
ing. This is true of those special
oil "additives" which free up
sticky valves and rings.
Car manufacturers do not rec
ommend any of these special oils
because of the risks I have men
toned, yet they are growing in
popularity. Least effective are
lubes for use in the gasoline. Some
engine oils have special detergents
/ ollo 1llS1uoCO.
1t is effective to use special
alcohols in with the gasoline to
prevent freezing of water content
in cold weather, but always add
this sort of protection when the
car is warm in a garage or the
weather is mild.
Let the filling station man add
water to the battery. 1t is sur
prising how many owners fail to
realize that battery cells usually
need attention. Let him check
the tires. The spare is usually
down. Be sure he gives you the
hot pressure if the car has been
running.
Change oil only when the en-
gine is hot, so draining will be
more complete. Don't use flush
ing oils. Always drive the car
for IS miles or SO after a greas-
ing so lube will work into the
various chassis parts.
If you take off the gas tank
cap yourself, put it in your pocket
as a safeguard against leaving it
behind. Take a second reading
of the crankcase oil level before
deciding how much oil is needed,
for it is easy to make a miscal-
culation.

No story of the progress of
transportation would be complete
without tracing the role of motor
transport and its contribution to
the growth of America to it's
present position as the world S
greatest producing nation.
Within our borders we have the
worlds greatest market, the great
est buying power, but production
of the tremendous volume of COM
modities for this domestic market
depends directly on our system of
distribution.
The key to distribution is trans
portation-and highway trans
portation stands alone as the sin
gle indispensable method of NOV
ing our goods from farm to mar
ket. from factories to homes
Passenger and freight traffic both
may move all the way from the
point of origin to final destination
by highway. At the same time
virtually everything moving in
modern commerce must make part
of its journey, at least, over a
highway.
Modern highways have made us
forever free from the need to herd
together in great cities as once we
had to do. Truck service now pro-
vides the remotest areas with the
latest Fifth Avenue fashions, fresh
fruits and vegetables in any sea-
son and all the comforts once en-
joyed only by those living in the
larger cities.
1900 Saw First Trucks.
The first trucks made their ap-
pearance in this country around
1900. Extremely crude and clum-
sy, they were little more than con-
verted automobiles with heavier
springs and strengthened frame
Because of the condition of oul
roads. the frequency of mechan-
ical failures and the fact thai
they were shod with hard rubber
tires, only the bravest pioneers
would undertake a trip beyond the
limits of their home towns.
But with every snorting, jolt
ing, putting trip between a rail-
road station and a consumer, the
country lost another dray horse
and motor transport became more
firmly entrenched as a part oil
Americas economic system.
By 1904, there were 700 trucks
registered in this country. In 1908
there were 1000 trucks, and by
1918, 100000 trucks were regis
tered in the United States.
At that time some believed that
trucking had reached the peak OF
its growth. United States entry
into World War I, however, proved
to be the springboard that started
