soap box racer. Joe Lunn, II,

drove to victory very simple
car.
His wheels were just as they
came out of the box. His steer
ing system was easy to build
and safe The total cost was
under the $40 limit. And it was
the first time Joe had built a
car and competed.
Like Joe. any one can build
a soap box derby racer using
tools found around the house.
If you lack necessary tools, see
if you can borrow them. Or bet
ter, maybe your school has a
shop with tools that you may use.

It can be great fun building a
soap box racer. But care should
be taken to see that when
through, the car will meet all
official specifications. Official
rule books are now available at
all Chevrolet dealers.
Safety is the keynote in coast
er construction. Brakes with too
much play, steering that is in
acurate, or wheels that are out
of line could mean a crackup
on derby day.
The most important rule
change this year affects steer
ing.
The steering shaft must be
horizontal or nearly horizontal
to the floorboard. The lowest
point of the steering shaft must
be at least nine inches above the
hoorboard, and the center Of the
steering wheel must be at least
IL inches from the f1oorboard.
The shaft must be at, least Is
inches long. It must be attached
to the top of the car hood and
can not have any upright sup
port from the floorboard, be-
tween the drivers legs.
The driver must steer with
both hands on the wheel in q
normal driving position.
The steering wheel must be
above the level of the drivers
knees and the center Of the
wheel must be no further for
ward than the knees while in
driving position and when he
applies the brakes.
Some Types Forbidden.
The steering wheel must oper-
ate to swing the front axle on a
kingpin by means Of cable only.

House Unit Studying
Protective Steps for
Witness in Probes
By Cecil HoIlond

A House Rules subcommittee
is undertaking study to deter
mine If standards of procedures
are needed to give witnesses be-
fore House investigating commit
tees a fair shake.
The full Rules Committee yes
terday needed the plea Of Repre-
sentative Keating, Republican, Of
New York, to do something about
the mounting criticism Of Con-
gress for the way some of its in
veStigations have been conducted.
1t approved Mr.. Keating's sug-
gestion for a subcommittee to
study the matter before acting
on the New Workers. resolution
to set up so-called ground rules"
for the conduct of hearings and
the protection of witnesses.
Chairman Allen. Republican,
OF Illinois. named these members
Of the subcommittee:
Representatives Scott, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, CHAIR
man; Chenoweth, Republican, Of
Colorado. and Smith, Democrat,
OF Virginia.
Distortion" Cited.
In urging the study. Mr.. Keat.
ing testified that the investiga-
tive power of Congress has
been sometimes distorted and
abused" and added:
I'VE must keep two ultimate
objectiveS in view: to develop
procedures which will not inter-
fere with the full exercise of
powers conferred on Congress in
this respect. and at the same
time to assure maximum fair
ness, dignity, and efficiency so
that our investigative functions
will continue to merit public con-
f1dence and the full support OF
the American people in whose
name we are acting"
Representative Smith suggest
ed the action applied only to the
House and added:
I'VE can't do anything about
the real offender"
He did not specify whom he
had In mind. There has been
widespread criticism of Senate
investigating committees and
particularly the subcommittee
headed by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican. of Wisconsin.
Keating's Suggestions.
Among the problems suggested
by Mr.. Heating for study was
the protection of witnesses
who are adversely identified in
public hearings. He said he
thought such protection should
include the right to testify in
person, the right to cross
examine committee witnesses or
submit questions to be put to
those witnesses, and to call ad-
ditional witnesses for rebuttal
testimony.
Other problems included re-
straints on the issuance of pub
lie statements by committee
members and the knotty matter
of radio and television coverage.
Most members of the Rules Com
mittee indicated their opposi-
ton to radio and television COW
erage of any kind.
Mr.. Scott said he planned to
have the subcommittee observe
various House hearings in action.
He added he hoped standards of
procedure could be developed so
that every witness coming before
a House committee will know
what his rights and RESPONSE
