These questions are being
asked because Of the extraor-
binary sequence Of events
on Tuesday evening Of this
week. For the breakdown
that night Of the efforts OF
four Governors to bring
about the withdrawal Of
Federal military forces from
Arkansas viii stand forth
as one Of the most regret-
able examples Of how hair-
splitting--not craftsmanship

level Of government In
Washington.
The President. through the
four Governors. had
achieved q complete agree
ment at the White House
on the wording Of a state
ment to be issued By the
Governor Of Arkansas as q
prerequisite to the with
drawal of Federal troops
from that State. Only two
words were added after
wards by Gov. Fauhus,
but those two words -

crucial in deciding whether
q sovereign State should be
continuously occupied by
Federal troops.
The two words can be best
understood by noting that
Gov. Faubus said at the

that the orders Of the Fed

Letter
Put Away That Buggy whip


The engineering formula for mea-
suring that much abused automo-
tive claim of gasoline mileage" is
mosl simply stated as follows !:
How many miles will a gallon of
gas shove a ton of automotive at
given speed?"
In 1880, the average for all makes
was about 2S% miles at 40 mph.
In 1885, it was about 1914 miles
at the same speed; in 1910, 3615
miles; in 1850, 43 miles. BY 1856
the distance was about 46 miles,
or more than double the ton-miles
per gallon of 1880. Thus, in terms
of what-it-does, gasoline is actual
ly cheaper today than a quarter
century ago-in spite of present
day gas taxes which average ap-
proximately 80 per cent!
This is about as good a way as
we can think of to explain pro-
gress in the oil business, and why
we should pay some heed and per-
haps even give q cheer for Oil
Progress Week from october 13
to 19.
For another thing the oil people
are getting out what they call "a
glove compartment manual" that
explains no less than fifteen diff
erent ways in which you may be
able to increase your own gasoline
mileage or, in other words, buy
less of their gas! They'll be dis
tributer by the millions during
OPW, we hear, to plug the 1857
theme: with today's gasoline,
you're driving a bargain"
AS we figure it, they just don't
want you going back to the horse
and-buggy.
