SMOOTHEST RIDE

1t takes a big car, like Plymouth,
to give you a truly ''big car" ride.
This year Plymouth's frame is
longer, stronger; rear springs are
wider; exclusive Oriflow shock abb
sorbers have still more cushioning
action. When you look at all this
year, you'll see why the big swing
is to Plymouth! Come in today for
your demonstration.

Biggest, longest lowest car of the
low-price 3, Plymouth is actually
larger than some high-price cars!
To you this means more roominess,
more comfort inside, and the
smooth, steady ride only a big car
can give. Plymouth is priced for
every pocketbook; 22 models in
three great lines - the Belvedere,
the Savoy, the Plaza.

ables, will still have to serve his
eight-year prison sentence but
won't have to pay his $4,000

That is the House Appropriations
Committee which will have a lot
to say about appropriations for
any specific program, such as the
requested $28 million in grants to
States for the vaccine distribu-
ton to children whose parents
cannot afford to pay.
More specifically, much might
eventually be said by the Appro-

fore his group he will try to dig
much deeper into the overall
polio vaccine puzzle than the

no preconceived notions or pref
udices. He nevertheless declared
Congress still has considerable
ground to cover in determining
what happened to snarl the pro-
gram. And the asking of ques-
tions will not stop, even If de-

weeks go far to remove those
difficulties and delays and to

DETROIT, June 3 (P.-Tense
auto industry labor talks CEN
tered today on the extent Of
employer liability under a sup
Elemental jobless pay plan which
one large producer, Ford, has
accepted in principle.
Ford acceptance of the basic
idea behind the CIO United Auto
Workers guaranteed annual wage
demand-that employers foot
part of the bill for maintaining
workers income when they are
laid off-provided hope that a
strike Monday among Ford's
100000 workers could be averted.
However. Ford has repeatedly
agreed to provide its laid-off
workers with weekly payments,
supplementinS their State un-
employment compensation bene-
fits, for only a maximum 26
weeks, or half a year.
SEMI annual wage
This would amount to guar
anteed semi-annual wage instead
of the full 52-week pay assurance
sought by union President Wall
ter Reuther.
Another, but probably less Sc
rious, stumbling block in solving
the jobless pay issue in the
crucial negotiations is the
amount of supplementary iobless
payments which Ford is willing
to make.
The company has reportedly
offered to supplement a workers
State payments TOR the first four
weeks he is idle to provide him
with an aggregate of IS per cent
OF his regular take-home pay
the amount he gets in his pay
envelope after tax and other de-
ductions.
For the next % weeks Ford
reportedly proposed lesser corr :
pany-financed payments that
would aggregate so per cent of
take-home pay.
The UAW had originally de-
manded combined State and
company payments roughly
eQualing full normal take-home
pay. Later it scaled this down
to 80 per cent Of full earnings,
before tax and other deductions.
It thus appeared that Mr..
Reuther has won the principle
of his guaranteed annual wage
plan from Ford at least. but has
got only part way so far in ne
gotiations in achieving the i'm
plementing money arrangements
he desires.

Lack Of Foresight
On SuIk Vaccine

NEW YORK, June 8 (R.-
Adlai Stevenson said yesterday
that If anything was predictable
"in our uncertain world" it was
the immense demand for anti
polio vaccine.
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Sec
retary of Welfare, has told a
Senate committee that II believe
no one could have foreseen the

The 1852 Democratic presiden-
tial nominee said:
Il don't think it required any
special clairvoyance to estimate
the demand for the vaccine. the
supply and the hazards of pro-
duction and distribution, or to
foresee, with the happiness and
lives of our children involved,
that here was a situation above
all others that called for fore
sight and meticulous planning
and preparation"

that polio vaccines now in use
ARE better than those used in

they should lower the rate of

hood will be accepted by the
Senate. The Senate several
months ago approved a 10 per
cent classified pay raise bill, but
In light of later events-such as
President Eisenhower's veto Of
the 8.8 per cent postal pay bill
its apparent that such an In
crease is out of the question.
Therefore, the Senate has
agreed to let the House Civil
Service Committee carry the ball
on classified pay raises and win
accept the Houses amount.
The administrations position
is that it favors classified pay
raises not to exceed 6 per cent.
If the White House makes it
absolutely plain that President
Eisenhower will not accept any
raise in excess of that figure,
then Congress will go along with
the 6 per cent classified increase.
If the administration makes no
definite statement. then the in
crease is apt to be Z or 8 per cent.
At any rate. Government
classified and postal workers are
assured of pay raises this year.
The House win approve the
8 per cent postal pay reclassi-
flcation bill on Tuesday. The
Senate approved the measure
several days ago. Several minor
amendments were adopted by
the House Civil Service Com
mittee in approving the measure
yesterday. but the Senate has
agreed to accept them. The
measure is expected to be cleared
by Congress and sent to the
White House by the end Of next
week. President Eisenhower's
approval is regarded as certain.
