appearance? A higher price, of course, does not
make car more beautiful Conversely, beauty in a
Ford comes ''for free" Ford has found that it
costs no more to develop beautiful car than one
that is less pleasing in appearance. You drive
up to the most exclusive doorways in the world
and feel perfectly at home in your Ford. Fords
belong" in exactly the same social category
as the finest, one-ofkind creations. After all,
Ford is custom creation multiplied.
What about running costs? Here's one place
that Ford's advantages are obvious. For oil and gas
economy Ford has the big cars whipped Ford
parts cost less Ford service charges are less Ford
tire mileage is thousands of miles greater. And,
Ford depreciation is the lowest of any car on the
market-bar none.
What are Fords made Of? Some people have
the idea that the costiest cars made of better
stuff" It's true that some high-priced cars have
costlier upholstery and fittings. What Ford has is

SO good, both in durability and appearance, that

justified for people who are wiling TO pay the

as we said before, you'll get better picture Of
Ford value by comparing with cars that are most

HHAT'S WHY we feel our '53 cars should
not be compared with cars in the same price
Ii range. Not because our competitors don't do
a good job-obvsously they debut because
feel Ford Cars have more in common with the
highest priced automobiles. The similarities are
far greater than the differences.
For example. Today, the most expensive cars in
this country have V-type, 8-cyEnder engines Ford
Cars have had this exact same type of engine for
over 20 years.
What's more astounding, the current Strato-Star
VS. sells for hundreds of dollars less than several
other makers charge for six-cyinder car. Now
there's nothing wrong with Six but they do cost
less to make. Ford makes Six-the most modern
overhead valve SIX In the industry. And if it's
sx-cyhnder car you want, Ford has it and for less
money than the V-S, which is as it should be.
What about ride? Here's another Ford similarity
with high-priced cars Riding Comfort. One Of
the misconceptions for many years has been that
weight-sheer weights what it takes to make a
car ride well. Ford has found that you can make a
3OOO-pound car ride softer and hold the road
better by far than many cars that weigh full 1000
pounds more. In the '53 Ford, for example, front
end road shock has been reduced zap to 8O96. We
say it compares most favorably with the heaviest
cars sold today.

Defense Sec'y
Will Address
New Congress

WASHINGTON R-Secretary of
Defense Lovett will appear before
the House Armed Services Com
mittee next week to outline views
that may start Congress working
on a new blueprint for the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
Lovett said in a report yesterday
that the Joint Chiefs, the country's
top military planners, were among
the military agencies that should
be improved, possibly by law.
Rep. Short (R-M0), chairman =
designate of the House committee,
told a reporter today Lovett would
appear either Thursday or Friday.
The session may be closed to the
public.
Short said the secretary's ideas
might start congressional investi-
CATION of the problem.
The defense secretary said some
Legislation might be required and
also urged a review of the Unifica-
ton Act, which integrated the serv-
ices under the Defense Depart
ment, to make it more flexible.
Lovett has not indicated what
suggestions he made in a recent
memorandum to President Truman
proposing military changes.
But on Capitol Hill the Joint
Chiefs have been criticized mainly
because each member, except the
chairman, is head of his service
as well as its representative on
the major planning board.
Some congressman say this
means carrying inter-service rival
ries into the top military echelon,
as well as requiring each service
head to occupy two demanding and
responsible positions. They advo-
cate separating the two jobs, so
that the Joint Chiefs can devote
full time to overall planning.
