Families Happy
10 Hear Marines
Are Still Alive

SANTA ANA. Calf. Ia If the
Communists want to accuse two
American Marine officers of par
ticipating In germ warfare. their
relatives don't care a bit-they're
too happy to hear that they ap.
parently are alive.
The accusations were in the IA.
miliar propaganda form of a
Chinese Communist radio broad.
cast, heard in Tokyo, saying that
the captured officers, Mai. Roy H.
Bley of Santa Ana and Col Frank
H. Schwable of Arlington, Va,
confessed taking part in germ
warfare.
The State Department and the
United Nations Command previ-
ously have called Communist germ
charges false and the Air Force
previously has branded such "con-
fessions" as extortions obtained by
force.
Here is some of Sundays re-
action from the families:
In Santa Ana, Maj. Bley's wife
Margaret said: "They could say
he confessed to dropping atomic
bombs or anything else as far as
Pm concerned. We're grateful for
this word even if they did confess
to something we know they didn't
do. At least we know they were
taken prisoner"
In Arlington. Col. Schwable's
wife Beverly said: THAT'S the
same old Communist malarkey.
Nobody believes it."
Its the first word we've had
Of him since he was shot down last
July, she said. "Fhis is a wonder
full day. I'm so happyl"

goes everywhere.
But wl,at about Ford quaHtya
Does it too match the fne carr Is the
sheet metal of the body panels as
thickp Is the finish as goodP How
about the trim and things like thatp
Well, as far as we can determine, the
sheet metal is identical in thickness
in practically all instances. As to
finish - we believe Ford'S baked-on
enamel has no equal in any car. Ford
upholstery fabrics and trim are less
costly, but they're less delicate, too,
md if anything, more durable.
HotD then is it possible to gi0e you
his fine car at half the fine car price2
Part of the answer lies in Ford
manufacturing Skills and knowledge

IF it comes from the ever increasing
numbers of cars Ford produces and
he economies they make possible.
And, part of it comes from Ford'S
willingness to give greater values

he Ford idea. ~.

gives you exactly the amount of
power you want, when you want it
automatically.
Fine car potUer steering, too. The
big, heavy costly cars offer it for the
same reason they offer power brakes.
It's a man-sized job for a 120 pound
woman to handle car weighing two
tons or more without it-eSpecially
when parking. Our "MaSter-Cuide"
has two distinct benefits.
First, it gives a hydraulic power
assist right down at the wheels and
just enough to take out the Dork. You
don't relinquish one particle of con-
trol-rather your control is more COM
plete and far easier.
Second, being hydraulic, Master
Guide" power steering absorbS those
fatiguing steering wheel tremorS
caused by rutS and roads in bad
repair. And you don't pay a fine car
price for "Master-Cuide."
But there is another fine car fea-
ture-the Ford ride. Books have
been written on the subject of riding
quality in an automobile, but the
payof comes on the pavement = or
lack Of it! Many people associate
comfortable ride with excess weight,
but it's not weight alone that makes
for comfort. IF it were, those big FIVE
ton trucks which you see every day

A FEW MINUTES on the tele-
N phone calling the dealers who
L "A sell Americas finest cars will
reveal there are at least eleven models
among four makes with price tags
over $4,000l
Now the interesting thing is that
in feature after feature the Ford car
duplicates each of these fine cars, and
for less than half the fine car pricel
Look under the hood of the most
expensive cars and what do you find?
A V-8 Engine!
Well, the Ford car has V-8, too. In
fact, it has had V-8 since 1882, and
since that time Ford has built more
V-8s- by millions : than all other
manufacturers combined. And there's
no other builder in Ford's price range
that's seen fit to offer one yet!
But the engine, as fine as it is, is
only one of many things that make
a fine car fine.
Automatic shifting, for example.
All the fine cars offer it in one form
or another because it's one of the
things that make fine car fine. But
if you've never driven Ford with
Fordomatic you've missed one of the
finer things of life. This amazing
transmission not only does away with
olutohing and shifting forever it
Smyrna times., 1953-10-01

would be the most comfortable We
hicles on the road.
Without being technical we can
tell you that what's been done with
the suspension and springing system
gives the Ford softer ride, a
smoother ride than many cars which
tip the scales at better than an added
half ton.
What about room? Here's an inter
esting point. IF you've felt that only
a costly car offered enough room, you
just ought to sit down in Ford even
if you're out-Size and six feet four
The so-called big car is bigger on the
outside, but unless you buy limou.
sine with those little jump seats, it!
not one passenger bigger inside.
Visibility is another fine car Ford
feature. We say Ford cars offer full
circle" visibility because they all have
huge, curved one-piece windshield,
and a huge rear window to match ;.
plus side windows that mean everl
passenger gets room with viewl
HoU beautiful is a Ford? A great
English poet, John Keats, once wrote
Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty
well, he could have been writing
about our car for its beauty comes
from honest, clean lines in every
dimension. In fact, we think most
people agree-even our competitors
