President EiSenhower's Cabinet,
indulging in the year-end custom
of taking a look ahead, see 1855
as year of peace but continuing
tensions and of a stable and pros
Porous economy.
But the National Planning Assn,
less optimistic about the economy,
says the new year will be one Of
rising unemployment unless buy
ing power and production are
stimulated by the government and
by industry.
The nonprofit, privately financed
organization representing business,
labor, agriculture and the profes-
slons, urged further tax cuts, in

things as schools, roads and hos

Secretary of State Dulles said
1854 saw considerable progress to-
ward world peace, but added that
formidable Obstacles" remain.
He predicted the free world would
be exposed to Communist trickery
in 1855, and added:
''We shall strive that no incan-
descent episode will flare into the
terrible eventuality of a third
world war"
Secretary of Defense Wilson
wrote:

full account of our large and

For months the Theater Guild

had to be postponed because Of
the magnitude Of the setting re-
quired.
It first was planned for last
April, and after several delays
has been rescheduled for next
January in the hope it will go
this time.
The production calls for the
construction in the studio Of a
complete engine and boiler room
of a coal-burning freighter with
real, not simulated. machinery.
Also needed will be the captains
bridge and other sections of the
ship for a total of IA settings.
All of this must be mounted on
rockers to produce the effect of
the pitching of the sea, including
q heavy storm. Special tanks
will supply the water effects. The
networks largest studio, measur-
ing 100 by 100 feet, will be
needed.
Normally. the program spends
SAC, 900 on production, but this
play will cost considerably more
because of the scenery. How
much will not be known exactly
until all details are worked out.
Televised professional basket
ball--games of the National
Basketball Association-will be
on NBC-TV this year instead of
Dumont. The Saturday after
noon series starts October 80.
The schedule will conflict with
the Canadian pro-football tele-
casts for a few weeks and NBC
will not switch to the basketball
until the gridiron play is con-
cluded. This means the first part
of the basketball games will be
missed.
The opening. contest will be
Boston at Rochester. Marty
Glickman. who did the games for
Dumont last year, will continue
as announcer. There will be

Packard's second year of ex-
pansion as, under a new presi-
dent, the 55-year-o company
seeks re-eStabliShment in the
luXury-car field.
Packard this year offers two
lines of cars-the Clipper and
the Packard. The cheapest Clip
per costs $2,544 fo.b.) and the
most expensive limousine costs
$7,250. Between these two figures
are IA cars with three different
8-cylinder engines.
A new line of Clippers, the
Super series, has been added this
year and is priced between the
most expensive and cheapest
models. A luxury hardtop con
vertible," called the Pacific, also
has been added to the line.
All Packards now are based on
the company's sales philosophy
that, in higher priced cars, peo-
pie do not want radical changes
but rather quality product
which retains its style value.

ably is an explanation of the

Safety Devices

While it is true that the driver
should be especially careful not

have provided certain safety fea-
lures which should be considered
when weighing the present pic

accident prevention.

Hand ThrottIes
Are No More, But
They Were Handy

It isn't generally appreciated
but one reason so many bat
teries go bad these days is
simply because cars are not
equipped with a hand control of
the throttle.
This makes it more trouble to
the fast idle the engine to put
the battery on charge. You can,
Of course, hold the accelerator
pedal down with a stick braced
against the seat cushion, or lean
a book against it. but these are
makeshifts and it is quite a
trick not only to set the motor
for just the right speed but to
keep it there for 10 or Is min
uteS.
Certainly no one wants to sit
at the wheel, with the car in the
open, and keep the motor run
ming at fast idle.
Hand controls of the throttle
were given up not only because
they represent a slight increase
in manufacturing costs but
largely because they were some
times to hazard in the hands
of the inexperienced. A driver
might pull the control part way
out to fast idle the engine and
then start off without return
ing the throttle to the slow idl-
ing speed.
In slowing down he would
then be given the brakes con-
siderable extra work.
Hand throttle control isn't de-
sirable with automatic trans
missions.

De Soto is about the same car
as last year with the notable
exception of an optional trans
mission, the "Powerfyte."
This fully automatic. clutch
less torque converter also is
listed as optional on the Chrysler

lighter than any similar trans
mission and also has less parts.
Otherwise, with the exception
of the engine. De Soto has about
the same body lines as last year
but with a different grill and
other styling details.
The De Soto is a big car meant
to carry big load. The interiors

space found in few similarly
priced cars. Its chair-high seats
afford comfort for long drives
and also give the driver plenty
of vision, fore and aft.

Better objectives and more
mature attitudes seem to hold
the solution to the present wave
of dissatisfaction, but it is going
to require mass interest in psy-

Advice on Using
Tor Remover

In many sections Of the coun-
try tar from roads is no problem,
and this often explains why
tourists who run into the prob
lem for the first time are so per-
picked.
Auto stores and filling stations
sell various brands of tar re-
mover which is most effective if
properly used. On lacquered
finishes the solution can be used
straight. but over synthetic
enamel it is best used with light
engine oil in the proportions Of
one part of oil to four of the
remover.
Main trick in using this aid is
to wipe it on but not try to rub
the tar off.
Let the tar remover stay on
the spotted areas for a few min
utes and then wipe off with a
clean cloth lightly. Then wash
the affected areas with cold
water.
