viewers, missing the noontime

lodged a Arm complaint with
the station. It read: .
Gentlemen: We are tired OF
the Mccarthy hearings and want
our cartoons back on teleViSion.
Let the grown-ups watch the
hearings at night after we have
gone to bed. You are running
our summer. Please could you
do something about it? Very
truly yours" Attached were the
signatures Of 131 diSgruntled
youngsters.
Whether WMAL-TV does any
thing about it or not, the young
should be happy to know that
relief is in sight. AS Adlai Ste

forward to brighter tomorrowS.

SHELL TELLS HOW
TCP FREES POWER
HELD IN ENGINES
Greatest gasoline discovery in 81
years oVercomes pre-ignition,
spark plug misses"

Shell scientists are current-
1yassuring motorists that there
is up to15% more power avail
able in today's engines than
they're now getting.
What's more, all of this poweris
being held captive unnecessarily,
they assert. Here's the story:
Deposits blamed
Every mile you drive puts
lead and carbon deposits in your
engine.
In the combustion chamber,
these deposits glow red hot, es-
pecially when you accelerate or
climb hill. This sets off the fuel
charge before the piston reaches
Its proper firing position. This is
called pre-ignition-power
works against you, not for you.
On the spark plugs these same
deposits conduct electricity and
cause short circuits. Your engine
misses, especially when it is
under load.
A Shell-discovered additive
blended into Shell Premium
Gasoline and sold under the
trademark TCP changes all this
before you've used even two
tankfulS.
Shell Premium with TCP stops
that waSteful pre-ignition by
"fireproofing" the deposits.
Power works for you. And, be-
cause TCP additive makes the
deposits non-conductors of elec-
trieity, your spark plugs fire on
time.
Up to 1870 mere power
The net to you is more power.
Up to 15% more. This power is
waiting to be used and not wasted.
Moreover, you get up to 21s times
longer spark plug life.
Shell Premium with TCP addi.
tive goes to work unlocking that
captive power with the very first
gallon. By the time you've fin
iShed your second tankful you'll
feefyour engines had a tune-up.
There's nothing like Shell Pre-
MUM with TCP. It's a Shell dis
coYery and the only place you can
get II is at Shell dealers,

CIVIC Project Is Discussed

Plans for the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs major
project to raise $250,OOO for the
restoration and refurnishing of
independence Hall in Philadel-
phia. were discussed yesterday
by Miss Sally Butler at a meet
ing of the Petworth WomanS
Club.
Miss Butler, who is director
of legislative research for the
General Federation, said that
actual work of restoration will
be done with historical docl-
mentation by the National Park
Service which is responsible for
the administration of Independ-
ence Hall.
The project is part of the
Americanism campaign of the
General Federation. Clubs. COM
munity groups, schools and in
dividuals contributing 500 or
more will be listed on a perma-
nent roll of honor, Miss Butler
explained.
Miss Butler outlined CIVIC
aims in the legislative field.
1.-THE General Federation re-
fuses to be a pressure group for
any other group or for any spe-
cific project" she declared.
She also stressed that the
General Federation does not sup
port any specific bill which is
presented to Congress. But it
does diligently and very actively
support the principles which

may be involved in any of the
specific bills. or, by the same
token, it may oppose the prin-
ciples involved in any BILL she
said, adding: This is indeed a
great asset for our organization
because it does not become in
volved in personalities"
Following Miss Buffers talk,
the club collected a silver Offer
ing for the Independence Hall
restoration project. It also voted
to appropriate 500 toward

giene clinic at Mcfarland Jul
nior High School, for use Of

surest way of replacing fear with
confidence. conviction and be-
lief.
"On these qualities depends
our ability to endure whatever
may be hurled against us-and
still come back fighting. In
that sense. civil defense is add
ing a great new dimension to
community life in America, a
quality of individual and group
self-reliance that has been too
long missing from the Ameri-
can scene" she said.
Mrs. Pace described the War
Claims Commission as presently
engaged in Q three-fold job: To
maintain good morale through
out the organization. to main
tain an increased efficiency and
economy of operation and to
maintain good relations with
Congress.
She said that in Washington
there is apparently a running
down of the War Claims Com
mission: Especially has it been
reported by some that the old
commissioners were too active
lobbying for the extension OF
the life Of the agency" she de-
clared.
II will promise you that this
new commission will never be
found lobbying for an extension
for the life of this agency. For
it is a point Of honor with us
