FINAL ON NEW CARS.

Now that practically all of the new-model automo-
bies the market, feel justified in making
other comment the 1865 crop In the first place
have said before the 1865 automobiles represent more
major changes than the driving public has witnessed in
number Of years.
Secondly, many of the models feature vastlyincreas
ed horsepower, and that is the theme which
inclined to make this brief On of the
models especially the lighter the horsepower is
close to two hundred We can't help but wonder if such
power safety measure the manufacturers claim,
q definite inducement to speed
Many odtimers would feel a little hesant about
stepping down the acceerator and arousng almost
two hundred horsepower in light automobile We sug
gest that emphasis be placed and
safe driving features in the future, and that the COM
pettve for horsepower be ended We realize how
ever, that suggestion will not be taken but in the
terest of safety. and less accidents make it in all sim
certy.

CONSUMER PRICES DOWN

The latest report of the Federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows that prices have dropped
tenths of per cent and hit their lowest levels since
June of last year This the third straight month which
decline in consumer prices
This development means that wage cut of penny
hour for 100000 workers in order-mostly
automobile and aircraft plants Despite this cut the
port said average takehome pay of factory workers
higher in October of this than previous October
An encouraging part Of the latest Bureau report is
that which showed the number of factory jobs increasing
and indications that they would continue to increase in
the immediate future Interestingly of the big price

not to raise too many turkeys and had also included

Army Begins
Move To Trim
Down Its Ranks

WASHINGTON R-The Army is
moving to trim down its size by
taking in fewer new men, culling
out some officers and shortening
slightly the active duty terms of
some draftees.
The administration announced
last week that the Army had been
ordered to reduce its strength by
70 900 more men than had been
planned by next June 30, and by an
additional 100000 by mid-1956.
Army officials said Wednesday
they still are working on pro-
gram to bring about these reduc-
tions in an orderly way.
The Army's first move was to
cut the February draft call from
20 600, which had been fixed earl
ier, to 1000. The Pentagon said
draft quotas of about that size
would continue at least through
June.
Terms of some draftees, all Of
whom were called up for "a months
will be shortened.
According to present thinking,
no draftees will be forced out
ahead of time, but present plans
call for the release next May oi
draftees who have completed 2;
months service and in June oi
those who have completed 2:
months.
The Army also expects to raise
its standards for the acceptance
of volunteers and for soldiers wht
want to re-enlist.
| Pentagon officers said they die
not believe it will be necessary
to conduct any wholesale forceou
of reserve officers now on active
duty. But other reserve officers
and regulars will have their eff
cheney reports carefully scruti
nized. The Army has already an

81 Births May
Top 4 Million

WASHINGTON Up - The us.
Public Health Service says births
in the United States may top four
million in 1854 for the first time
in history, although it expects the
rate per 1000 population to be un-
der 1947.
Surgeon General leonard A.
Scheele said Tuesday an expect.
ed 1854 birth rate of 25.2 per 1000
population would be the second
highest in % years, about 5.3 per
cent below the peak rate in 1947.
The high rate was attributed to
rise in the births of third, fourth
and fifth children.
Analysis of vital statistics for the
first 10 months of the year, Scheele
said, indicates that 1854 will show
the lowest death rate in history
and a continuing drop in the mar
riage and divorce rates.
