Here's why you can be sure you get
more for jour- money with Chevrolet trucks!

There are lots of good reasons why you
can be sure you get more for your money
with Chevrolet trucks.
First off, there's the important fact that
Chevrolet is Americas first choice in
trucks. Again this year-for the twelfth
straight production year-more people
are buying Chevrolet trucks than any
other make. That includes people on farms
and in cities, truck users in field after field.
Now, it stands to reason that all these
folks buy, and keep on buying, Chevrolet
trucks because they know they are getting
more for their money. And this in itself
confirms your good judgment in choosing
Chevrolet.
But there are other reasons why you
can be sure you're getting top value when
you buy Chevrolet truck. Take economy,
for example. Chevrolet is famous for it.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-10-01

Owner after owner will tell you that these
great trucks cost less to run F.. less to
maintain. And they'll tell you that Chew
ro1et trucks stand up longer on tough
jobs, too-a mighty important point to
consider in a truck for farm use.
Another important point is price. And
here's where a Chevrolet truck starts
saving you money the moment you buy
it. For Chevrolet is the lowest priced
truck line of all!
No other line of trucks offers so much
-. no other truck line is priced so low.
That's why you're money ahead all ways
with Chevrolet trucks.
Why not stop in and see your Chew
rolet dealer soon. He'll gladly give you
all the facts about the Chevrolet truck
that suits your needs. >. Chevrolet Divi-
sion of General Motors, Detroit 2, Mich.

GeorgetoWners Seek
More Police He|p

Members Of the Progressive
Citizens Association of George
town plan to seek hearing be-
fore the Commissioners to de-
mand more police projection.
Representatives of the associ-
alton called on Chairman Taber
of the House Appropriations
Committee yesterday with their
problem. Rear Admiral Neill
Phillips, U. S. NJ, retired, did
the explaining to Mr.. Taber.
He said deficiency appropri-
alton of $175,000 is needed ur-
gently to allow the Metropolitan
Police Department to put its
men on six-day week. He said
the current crime wave in Wash
ington can be traced directly to
the shortage of policemen on
the street.
Admiral Phillips explained the
association wants the emergency
appropriation to cover the next
three months. He said the group
will fight for more funds for the
police department for the next
fiscal year when budget hearings
are held.
Have you gone to the Com
m1sslonerS and asked them to
recommend this to the Budget
Bureau?" Mr.. Taber asked.
The admiral said his associa-
tion felt that would take too
long. But Mr.. Taber. advised
the citizens to see the Commits
sioners Immediately.
Admiral Phillips said the group
would ask the Commissioners for
a meeting Immediately.
Others in the group were John
L. Lincoln, j. Russell Mcqueen,
Karl Bradford, Pickney Love.
Mrs. Wolcott Clark Waggaman.
Mrs. Una Hanbury, Walter Lou
cheim, Mrs. Arthur Wagner and

Legality Of Orders
On D. {. Rent Control
Challenged in Court

A motion aimed at overthrow
ing rent control in the District
was taken under advisement last
night by Municipal Court Judge.
The rent control issue will
come to a head when Congress
makes its final decision on the
matter, probably by June 80.
The present rent control law
here, enacted in June. 1852, ex-
pires on April 80. However, the
District Commissioners this week
sent to Congress a bill to extend
the local control law only to
June 80. After that, it is be-
lieved, the status of rent control
in the District will hinge on what
happens nationally.
Centers Around Suits.
Last nights court motion was
made by Herman Miller, a well
known landlord-tenant attorney.
The motion centered about a
case in which a tenant sued her
landlord for money paid in an
alleged overcharge in rent, after
the landlord had sued the
tenant for court costs involved
in collecting the rent.
Mrs. Helen Cochran, 3155
Mount Pleasant street NV,
maintained in the Small Claims
Court that she had not only
been overcharged, but that the
landlord, Constantine Roumel,
Of 3034 Davenport street NV.
had failed to live up to an
agreement calling for the install
lation of screens in the windows.
During last nights hearing,
Mr.. Miller, attorney for Mr..
Roumel, moved for dismissal.
He contended the 1852 Rent
Control Act is not an extension
of previous acts but a new act
in itself.
Calls Orders Invalid.
If that is true, Mr.. Miller
argued, all of Rent Control Ad-
ministrator Robert F. CogsWell's
orders since last July are in
valid because the act calls for
the appointment of an admin
1strator and he has never been
reappointed.
Mr.. Cogswell. however, indi-
Gated last night that this point
was discussed thoroughly at the
time the law was passed. He
said he has no fear for his job
on those grounds.
Municipal Court Judge John
j. Malloy declared last night he
would take Mr.. Miller's motion
under advisement. He said he
was interested in the move and
would like to hear further argu-
ments.
Should Judge Malloy rule
against the motion, Mr.. Miller
declared he would carry the
case to the Municipal Court of
Appeals.

Bigger Fine Than Offender

A 49-year-old woman with a
police record of 100 charges,
came through a Municipal

decided there's some good in

She is Rachel Harper, colored,

Woman Burns to Death
Next Door to Firehouse
By the Asseeiofed Press

JERSEY CITY, N. Jan 85-
year-old woman was burned to
death in the living room of her
home while her husband, also
85, sought help at a firehouse

He looked at her record again.
That's when he decided there's
some good in every one"
You've been stealing since I
was in knee pants" he observed,
after noting the first charge was
entered in 1918. But from 1949
until now see you've been
charged a little less frequently"
So Judge Howard gave her a
choice of $50 fine or go days
on the petty larceny count and
$40 or 10 days on the disorderly
count.
