 Viewers of the new cars caught first glimpse of an entirely new era in automotive design both in exterior and interior appear ance and in mechanical advance ments, according to Glenn Newell at Anchorage Motors.
 In the radically new body de- sign for 1856, Dodge has carried the Forward Look into an even bolder, more dramatic form. Uni que high-sweep rear fender tail fins lend an aircraft-like effect and mold the flavor of speed into every line of the car, giving 1t at the same time a pronounced di- rectional appearance
 Four separate series comprise the 1856 line of Dodge cars: Cor onet, offering four-door sedan, club couple, four-door Lancer hardtop, Lancer hardtop and Lam eel convertible; Royal V-8, offer ing four-door sedan, four-door Lancer hardtop and Lancer hard top; Custom Royal V-8 with four door sedan, four-door Lancer hardtop, Lancer hardtop and Lancer convertible Finally, a

Democrat-backed bill to investi-
gate the State Roads Commits
sion. strengthened by finance

the millions of dollars involved
in the 12-year road program
and the Baltimore harbor tunnel.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee gave the bill a favorable re-
port on Tuesday night, after
adding some strengthening
amendments. one change would
increase the amount Of money
made available for the investiga-
ton from SAP 900 to $50, 900.
The second amendment, sug-
gested by Senator Edward S.
Northrop. Democrat, of Mont
gomery County. would arm the
investigation committee with
powers. Under the bill,
the probe would be conducted by
q committee made up of the
Senate president, speaker of the
House and the majority and
minority leaders Of those two
bodies. The committee would be
empowered to hire financial con-
sultants.

More Free Land
Offered for Branch

The University of Virginia
should have no trouble locating
a new branch in nearby Virginia,
