Area Auto Dealers Now Displaying Bright New SIS Models
Shows All
New Style

Plymouth's bigger and more
powerful 1855 cars went on dis,
play in dealers show rooms
throughout the area yesterday.
The 1855 models are entirely new,
according to Plymouth officials,
in both styling and engineering
details. They are lower, longer
and wider.
They are the most powerful
cars Plymouth ever built. The
1855 engines are 117-horsepoWer
PowerFlow six, a 157-horsepower
Hy-Fire VS. and a 167-horsepower
Hy-Fire vs.. The latter engine
also is available with a four-barrel
carburetor and special manifold
which increases its horsepower to
1T.
Plymouth offers as optional
equipment full range of auto
matte and power assist devices.
They include PowerFlite fully
automatic no clutch transmission,
new design coaxial full-time
power steering, power brakes,
power-operated front seat adjust
ments, power-operated window
regulators, and adjustable speed
electric windshield wipers. Air
conditioning by Airtemp also is
available as special equipment.
The 1855 line is made up of II
models, including for the first
time four-door versions of the
Plymouth Suburban, the all steel
body station wagon" type car
which Plymouth pioneered in
1919.
Mansfield said the 1855 models
are all new in a more basic sense
than at any previous new model
introduction in the company's his
tory.
1--WE started three years ago to
design Them" he said. Every.
thing is new. This applies not
only to their styling and interior
decor but also to the body struc-
tural details, the frame, the sus-
pension system, the interior ven
tilating and heating system and
many other features. 1t literally
is true that our 1855 models are
new from bumper to bumper"
Styling by Exner
Plymouth's 1855 styling is the
creation of design team headed
by Virgil M. Exner, director of
styling. 1t is based on the pre-
mise, Exner says, that styling
must first be conceived as a unity.
characterization is then used to &C.
Icentuate existing highlights rather
than to create new ones.
Among the distinctive features
of Plymouth's new styling are a
low silhouette, Slimness and sleek
ness of body lines, deeply recessed
head lights and tail lights, and an
overall appearance of forward
motion.
Plymouth four-door sedanS are
1913 inches longer than their pred
ecessors. They are II inches
lower. Front seats are 80 inches
wider and rear seats So inches
wider.
A new Full.View wrap-around
windshield, with swept back cor
ner posts, at top and bottom, has
16 per cent more glass area. 1t is
contoured to eliminate distortion
and to give the driver maximum
vision at eye level.
The new models have push but

with new rotary latch which
maintains the automatic self.

mouth doors.

1--WE have made nearly as many
engineering and design charges
this year as we did last" said
Ivan L. Wiles, general manager
of Buick and vice president of
General Motors. yet we have re-
tanned the outstanding styling
features that made Buick the
third best selling car in the ma

spectacular increase in perform

1855 Buick the greatest value we
have ever offered the car-buying

carriers for higher rates.
The measure, sponsored by
Senators Bricker, Republican. of
Ohio; Capehart, Republican. of
Indiana. and Edwin c. Johnson.
Democrat. of Colorado was de-
scribed by Democratic opponents
as grab" by the railroads for
quick rate increases. Senator
Bricker said the ices rate fix
ing processes are so slow that
in time of rapidly rising costs,
some new mechanism is needed
in fairness to the carriers.

Senate Group Acts
To Kill Threat 10
S|um Clearance Aid

The full Senate Appropriations
Committee today approved a
move to kill a House proviso
which had threatened slum clear
ance and redevelopment projects
here and throughout the Nation.
The AK fell on the so-called
Phillips amendment during COM
mittee action in approving a $5.7
billion appropriation bill for more
than a score of independent Gov
ernment agencies - the second
largest of the annual money
bills,
The Phillips proviso. which had
stirred a storm of controversy
throughout the country, would
have restricted the kind of rede-
velopment projects that could
qualify for Federal aid.
It's effect would have been to
liimt aid to residential develop
ments in which the non -residen-
tial buildings were determined
to be normally essential" to the
main residential features.
This raised serious question
about Office buildings and other
structures planned for Southwest
Washington in a plan being
drawn up by the New York firm
of Webb & Knapp. The firm has
threatened. in fact, to withdraw
its interest here unless the pro-
viSo is killed.
Earlier this week a Senate sub
committee deleted the provision
from the money bill.
The bill as approved today by
the full committee failed to re-
store language knocked out by
the House in the hope of stop
ping new public housing units in
the coming year.

THE PROBLEM ITSELF

There is in Ohio, unfortunately, wide
spread public ignorance of the findings of
the Commission and of the nature of the
problem.
The reasons for this appear obvious. Ohio,
too, has shared in the hysteria engendered
in Washington. The less dramatic but much
more factual findings of the States Com
mission have been lost in the weter of fan
tasy and side issues aired by recent hear
ings there. Confusion has been piled on con-
fusion and sober analysis impossible as a
result.
In getting around the state and | have
been in more than 60 Ohio counties since
the first of the year-we have found an in
tense curiosity among the people of Ohio
concerning both the degree and the nature
of the subversive problem here. The vague
fears that beset us when we cannot see the
enemy seem to evaporate when people are

sons of his own choice and held to their du-
ties by dependence on his own will"
There are other prophets Of our own Revo-
luton but our people know them not. They
do not know the existing laws by which they
live, to say nothing of the thinking which
created those laws.
In other words, it is time for a re-ex-
animation of the reasons why each and
every one of us have certain liberties we
could never receive or exercise under Com
munism. 1t is time to express again that
fundamental precept that freedom has many
definitions but it's most important is the
power of self determination.
So that, due to our own failings, confu-
sion exists in our minds concerning the
character of Communism as compared with
the character of democracy.
