THE NEW CARS

All sorts of reports and rumors have made
the headlines about the 1858 automobiles in
recent weeks and months. The latest esti-
mate of the new models comes from a trade
publication, which holds that most of the
changes in the 1858 models will be under the
hood.
One of the interesting reported changes
is the fact that the oil capacity of most cars
will 90 up from something over four quarts
to more than five quarts. But regular 1000
mile oil changes will not be recommended by
a single manufacturer.
In fact, most of them will recommend
3,OO0-mile changes-and it is probable that
one need not change his oil that often. One
of the reasons for this development is that
about 1870 of the new cars will have partial
or full-fow oil filters installed as standard
equipment.
Some of the new cars will call for lubri-
cation every 1000 instead of 1000 miles. 1t
is estimated that more than fifteen per cent
of the new models will recommend lubrica-
tion at the less-frequent interval.
It is now estimated that none Of the new
models will offer fuel-injection as standard
equipment, but that some twenty models will
offer it as optional equipment. tits estimated
that some new models will come out with only
four tires, instead of the usual five, claim
ing that new puncture-proOf tires eliminate
the necessity of spare tire.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
all is that seventy per cent Of the 1858 mod
els are expected to offer air suspension, eth
er as optional or standard equipment.
The latest estimate is that four 1858
makes will be basically new cars, while nine
will be drastically restyled. In short, it looks
like the 1858 models will be new on both the
outside and the inside.

RED TAPE CUTTER

OKLAHOMA CITY Up - An
Army helicopter pilot lost patience
with red tape and got his craft fix
ed in a hurry. He walked to a
hardware store for a part and paid
for il with his own money.
CWO John Gray. from Fort Sill,
Okla, made an emergency landing
here. He notified the Army he
needed a small plug to fix a leaky
gas line. and one was flown from
Fort Sill, 100 miles away.
Gray got the part, valued at
about so cents. but found he need
ed another small part to finish.
Under Army regulations. the
plane would have to return to Fort
Sill and fly back the part.
Gary got impatient, walked TO a
store, and purchased the part-for
40 cents

AgrOnOnist Is Busy
Identifying Grasses

That man you may have been
SEEING along the road looking at
a piece of grass through a magni-
flying glass isn't crazy.
He's Claude E. Phillips, chairman
of the agronomy department at the
University of Delaware, working ON
a collection of grasses in Delaware,
New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsyl-
Yania, West irginia, New York and
New England. AS Claude collects
the grasses, he identifys them and
writes a description to make a key.
This key. kind of booklet, will
enable quick identification through
leaf characteristics on any north
east grass. Keys have been develop
ed earlier, mostly by bOtanists, but
none. of these have included all
grass species in the northeast area.
And the keys have been built only
on grass head and seed character
istics. One extra advantage of
Claude's key will be an allowance
for variations. For example, with
the new key orchard grass with or
without hair on the leaves will
easily be known, without doubt that
the grass may not be orchard grass.
Weed Control
The agroponist's key will be val
liable to farmers, since many grass
es are known to be serious weeds
that damage crops. With the new
key, farmers will be able to iden-
tify a grass weed before it has a
chance to mature and head out.
This will allow the. spraying of con-
troll chemicals before the grass can
choke crops. Claude points out
the Importance of learning what a
grass is early, because control
chemicals are selective.
In a similar study about Is
months ago, Phillips collected, iden-
titled and keyed all weeds in the
same northeast area, some 346. He
reports that this key is being used
in about one-half the United State,
some as far from Delaware as
Mississippi and Michigan. About
1000 copies of the key have been
distributed for Identification pur-
poses and classroom instruction.
Here's how both keys work: Say
you've got an unknown grass. Ex-
anime and key it by one character
istic at a time Decide if the grass
has broad or narrow leaves, for
example. After determining this
you look at this section Of the key
page. From there you go to other
characteristics of the grass, finally
arriving at positive Identification
Claude says keying isn't difficult
once you get used to the job.
j So far Phillips has collected and
identified so out of lbs grasses in
the northeast-those grasses known
to be of Importance there. He has
visited Delaware, Maryland, Penn
sylvania, New York, Massachusetts
and Connecticut. A return trip tC
these and other states may be
necessary in the future, for many
of the grasses involved don't bloom
at the same time. That's the best
time, Claude says, to identify grass
The agronomist concludes that
the key will be useful for identi-
flying hay. pasture and lawn grass
es, in addition to weed grasses, be-
cause many times these are difficult
to tell apart

The People Are In Earnest

EElt EpUUlR ART AM EdGutbb
Congressman, it would appear,

ably more than the President, and
prefer to come back to Washing
ton for an extra session in Novem-
Der rather than go home without
making worthwhile cuts in the
record breaking Eisenhower budget
request particularly in foreign
aid.
Stung by a cut of half billion
in the foreign aid Authorization Bill,
President Eisenhower called for
an unprecedented emergency news
conference in his Office to prepare
Congress for an extra session this
fall if the cut were not restored in
the actual Appropriation Bill which
was to follow.
Later, after the House Appropri-
ations committee had voted still
larger cut, News Secretary Hagerty
read another plea from the Presi-
dent to restore his requested for
eign aid funds. But the House was
not impressed and voted to slash
the actual money bill by 5000 mil
lions. Chairman Clarence Cannon
of the House Appropriations COM
mittee reminded his fellow citizens
that we have given away approx
mately $50 billions, that is large
part of our national debt and that
it accounts at least in part for in
hation and the high cost of living.
Following the Presidents desk
side press conference, Senator Lyn-
don Johnson, majority leader took
dim view of the effectiveness of
this gesture and said that Congress,
| in its collective judgment" would
decide on the proper appropriation.
Thus, the House cuts may well be
supported by the Senate. And if the
cuts made to date still stand on
adjournment day, the lawmakers
can report to their constituents a
total reduction of $5.6 billions in
the Eisenhower budget!
And it hardly seems likely from
here, that after a visit at home
| the sOlons will come back in
November and sabotage their cour-
ageous performance-even at the
urging of the President.

ANOTHER RED FRAUD

Never give a sucker an even break. This
old saw is part of the arsenal of wisdom OF
such statesmen as Khrushchev and Tito. They
have a police force and full dictatorial APP
paratus to assure that none but themselves
and their cohorts in tyranny get any kind
of a break except perhaps broken head or
broken life. And in their higher wisdom of
rule by police and the crowded Jail, a sucker
is any man who believes in truth and free
dom more than he does in the big boss NAM
ed Khrushchev and the little big boss named
Tito.
The current agreement between these
two bosses contains the usual dose of fraud.
When Khrushchev and Tito sign a commun-
ique agreeing that there is more than one
road to socialism, they are guilty of one
more deception. For Tito has MilOvan Djilas

cratic road to socialism and broke with Com

They are both men who rule by power and

In a Senate speech based on his

Council. AS a result. declared Sen

SLOWER WRITE-OFFS

When the nation is at war, there is every
reason to give industry the utmost encour-
agement so that it will produce the sinews
of war at a record pace. The program of
fast tax write-offs comes under the heading
of such encouragement
This program, which allows a company
to write off the cost of a new facility against
it's federal taxes in five years instead of the
normal 20 years, served well during World
War II and the Korean war. Since hostili-
ties were ended in Korea, however, the pro-
gram has continued. There has been grow
ing feeling that this rapid amortization is
no longer justified except in special circum-
stances. Acting on this feeling, the Senate
finance committee has now voted to limit the
fast tax write-of program sharply and then
end it entirely at the close of 1859.
There are sound reasons for such actions
Senator Byrd of Virginia, chairman of the
finance committee, summed up these reasons
when he declared that "abuse and exploita-
ton of these provisions has contributed to
imitation, caused dislocation within whole
industries, resulted in unfair advantages
favoring many companies, and worked SER
ious disadvantages in many areas of bust
ness, especially small business" He also
noted that the lag in revenue has required
higher federal debt which will cost the tax
payers heavily in terms of interest.
Although military goods of all kind must
flow to the armed forces in time of peace,
there is not the same sense of urgency that
must prevail in time of war. The industrial
firms can make reasonable profits without
the special advantage of the fast tax write
off on new production facilities. The Senate
finance committee has acted wisely 20 cur
tail this program and set date for its ter
mination.

That is the more harmonious unification of

This will be only one of many problems

tention. To the extent that there is inter-
service pickering and duplication OF effort,

roy's highely regarded abilities as an admin
istrator. His years of experience In the sales
and promotion field, also may stand him in
good stead in this effort. Whatever it takes,
we hope that he has it.
