Sees Fare Danger
Mr. Wolverton declared it is
Every disastrous" to let such ar
authority set fares without giving
the people a chance to appeal tc
the courts or to some outside
agency.
The burden OF defending the
measure as drafted by the Dis
trict Commissioners was borne
by Commissioner Samuel Spen-
Ger, who underwent nearly two
hours of grueling questioning by
more than half a dozen members
of the subcommittee.
The measure would set up the
Autht rity as an independent in
strumentality" of the District to
operate transit throughout the
Metropolitan area, setting its
own fares and levels of service.
Extensive questioning was
aimed at the basic nature OF the
proposed authority and whether
it should be a Federal agency

Truman, In His Memoirs, Says Demos
Could Have Elected Stevenson In 50 f.

WASHINGTON, Up Harry S.
Truman's own version of the 1852
election campaign:
Adlai E. Stevenson would have
gained millions of votes if he had
listened to Truman's advice-in
particular, if he had accepted
when the then President picked
him in January, 1852, as his
choice to head the Democratic
ticket.
And Dwight D. Eisenhower, in
Truman's view, should be
ashamed of himself for knowingly
permitting a Republican "cam-
paign of distortion and vilifica-
ton"
In the final installment of his
memoirs, Truman accuses Essen
hover of exploiting the Korean
war for partisan gain and of ham
pering cease fire negotiations
with his famous Il shall go to
Korea" campaign speech.
mo man." Truman declares,
chad less right to use this crisis
for political purposes.
In his memoirs, as serialized in
Life magazine, Truman says he
favored the late Chief Justice
Fred Vinson at first for the Demo-
cratic nomination, but turned to
Stevenson when Vinson declined
it.
Stevenson, says Truman, was
"flabbergaSted" at the offer and
even as the nominating conven-
ton was opening-Was unwilling
to accept.
Il am sure that if Stevenson
had accepted in good faith the
proposition l made to him on Jan.
30, 1852, and enabled us to make
the proper buildup, there would
have been no convention contest

Standard Oil Company
OF California Will Sell
New High-P0wer Gasoline

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10
Standard Oil Company of Califor-
mia today announced the Vests
first automotive gasoline made
with an aviation anti-knock fuel
formula.
This aviation blend is available
only in Standards premium grade
gasoline.
Company engineers say the new
gasoline is designed to meet the
special performance requirements
of modern engines. These special
needs are the result of increased
compression ratios, radical cylin-
der head designs, and critical
valve operation.
Extensive tests in Standards
laboratories and on the road indi-
cate the new gasoline lengthens
valve life and reduces combustion
chamber deposits, thus improving
octane performance. A substantial
reduction in wear rate of piston
rings and cylinder walls also is
reported in the tests.
Spokesman for Standard Oil
say the same benefits improve
performance of older cars as well.
The primary purpose of the new
blend, however, is to make posi-
BILE all the performance designed
into modern high compression en-
gines.
