Modern Batteries
Do Double DUTY

One reason why it is more i'm
portant these days to keep the
battery up to par is because it
has to supply both cranking
power and ignition when we use
the modern cranking system for
starting.
In the not-too- distant past it
was possible to crank a moment
or two before switching on the
ignition. This helped timber up
the motor, built up a little COM
preston and got the carburetion
system into action.
Today the job is combined and
the battery has to supply crank
ing power and ignition stimuli
taneously. It easily explains why
the ignition is sometimes a bit
too weak for prompt firing.

Later, perhaps next week, Eisen-

hower's inaugural talk, Dulles
talk to the nation this week was
a generalized statement.
He may have wanted to let
Eisenhower lead the way before he
took up the bah in his special
field.
But if Eisenhower has any
hopes that he can stop leaks from
his administration, in spite of any
instructions he gives to the con-
trary, it's a pretty safe BET he's in
for disil1usionment,

and which hardly have changed
any who already were deliberately
disloyal.
Next he made a TV-radio talk
to the nation on foreign affairs
and later had a friendly get.to-
gether with department employees.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson,
also right after taking office, told
his employees they're expected to
do days work for a days pay
and announced plans to streamline
the department.
And Atty. Gen. Brownell told
his Justice Department employees
he wants them to be on the job
on time. That about sums up what
the administration has said pub
licly since taking office.
This is a situation which should
begin to change about noon Mon
day when Eisenhower delivers in

tration will not go down in history
as its talkingest period. But time,
events and the Washington climate
will loosen its tongue.
Except for his inaugural address,
which dealt mostly with generali-
ties, President Eisenhower him
self has said practically nothing,
publicly, since taking office, or,
for that matter, since his election.
And his Cabinet members, ap-
parently under instructions to keep
their lips buttoned about their con-
versaions with him, have hurried
away from White House confer
ences without saying anything
much more revealing than mo
comment.
This is understandable. In the
first place, Eisenhower repeatedly
was irked, in his pre-inauguration
days, by leaks about his intentions
that slipped out through the doors
of his New York headquarters.
