Pontiac Dealer
 Testifes Against General Motors

WASHINGTON, RASenate an- titrust investigators today con- fronted the top officers of General Motors Corp. with an angry Pon- tiac dealer who accused the GM command of making "pawns and vassals" of it's 19,O00 dealers.
 President Harlow H. Curtice and Board Chairman Alfred P. Sloan Jr. took their places at the Judiciary subcommittee witness table, supposing themselves to be the first witnesses of the day.
 Instead, they were forced to sit silent while acting subcommittee Chairman O'Mahoney O-Wyo) called up three complaining deal- CTS summoned by subpoena.
 Then, with the dealers seated across the table from the top men of the worlds biggest manufactur- ing organization, O'Mahoney read into the record a letter from one of them, M. H. Eager, for IA years Pontiac dealer in Albany, NY, and an employee of GM for 16 previous years.
 In wild" race for sales, said Yager, the GM officers have adopted the policies of arrogant, selfish dictators."
 He called the GM command "a bully of the greatest magnitude"
 In advance of the hearing, GM gave out for release testimony in which Curtice said the corpora tion has prospered because it 'has been able to offer greater dollar value in its products. He said he knows of no management organi- Zation with higher business ethics or stronger sense of public re- sponsibility. He claimed specific ally high regard for the interests of dealers, among others.

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The nations automobile traffic deaths on safe driving (S-D) Day equaled comparable recent day in which there was no concentrat- ed campaign. It far surpassed last years SD Day total of 51.
 An Associated Press survey to- day showed total of 69 deaths yesterday, equal to the .69 traffic deaths counted in an AP survey on Thursday, Nov. IT, which was made for comparison.
 The National Safety Council listed it's official total at the same time as 67.
 The first observance of SD Day was last Dec. IS, when the toll was 51.
 Although fatalities on the high ways were higher this year than in 1854, it appeared that nearly half of the states observed SD Day without a single traffic death.
 The survey also disclosed that most of the major cities, including New York, Chicago and Detroit, had no fatalities.

When Rachel Carson, author
of the best-seller, The Sea

is getting warmer and warmer
all the time as ice recedes into
history, she obviously knew
what she was talking about.
Rachel could prove it by the
tropical fish she was finding
further and further north each
year. The rest of us can tell it
by standing outdoors any old

But with all due respect for

auctions, there's only one
woman In town who's really
