their premedical training.
The winner receives $500 during
each year of his four years in
medicine. The money is paid direct
to him, and he is permitted to use
it at the medical school of his
choice.

CERT: Mr.. Romney, why do you offer
a total of $4,000 insurance with
your new cars!
ROMNEY: 1t backs our claim that
Single unit" construction makes
the strongest, safest, most modern
cars.
CERT: J. ''rre really that much diff.
fercnre b.iween the way YOU and
other nanufa, iurers make cars!
RoHkFy: All the difference between
yesterday railway coach and to-
days streamliner. Other cars still
use principle old as the oxcart:
A flat frame bolted under a sep
arate body. In our cars, frame and
body are welded as single unit.
It's the biggest stride since the
all-steel body.
CERT: And this makes a safer car?
RoMNEY: Twice as safe. Instead
of fiat frame underfoot, our frame
is q steel, box-girder enclosure as
big as the car. 1t gives you wrap
around" protection in front, rear,
sides and top.
CERT: That sounds like real pro-
lection.
RoMNEY:That s not all. Flat frames
others use are stiff, so they transmit
collision force throughout the car.
Our big steel box-girders up front
absorb most of the impact. They
take the brunt of the punishment
instead OF passengers.
CERT: What about performance?
R0MNEY: That's sa real plus. "Single
unit" construction gives better
power-weight ratio. It's stronger
and safer, but eliminates useless
weight and bulk. Our cars have set
many racing records.
CERT: And economy?
RoMNEy: They're tops. Rambler
holds the gas mileage record in
Mobilgas Economy Runs. Again,
because our "hard-muscled" single
unit avoids dead weight.

CONDEMNED WHITE MAN
CHARGES PREJUDICE

Washington - (ANP) - The
United States Supreme Court has
been asked to decide whether a
white person convicted for a
crime can claim a "prejudiced"
verdict because of the exclusion
of Negroes from the jury which
convicted him.
The question was raised by Ro-
bert f. Lee, who now faces death
in the electric chair for the al
legged murder of Thomas p. Nc
gamma. The Louisiana Supreme
Court on Nov. 7, 1855, upheld the
decision of a lower court in the
conviction of Lee on charges of
the gun shooting of McKenna, a
Tulane University student dur
ing a hold-up of the New Orleans
bar on Sept. IS, 1854.
Lee, a white man, contends that
his rights were violated because
there was systematic exclusion
of Negroes from the grand jury
which indicted him.
He contends that a white person
has the right to object to inten-
tional exclusion Of Negroes from
the grand jury, and that he is en-
titled to prove that he was "preju'
diced by the exclusion Of Negroes
The Louisiana Supreme Court
claims that since he is white he
has no right to claim such pre-
iudice.
