Chevy's done the next best thing

Chevy's done the next best thing
to paving every road in America!
First they threw out the front axle
and put in torsion-spring independ-
ent suspension. Then they built
wide-base coil rear springs into
most light-duty models, variable
rate leaf springs into heavies. That
made it-a ride you have to feel to
believe. A ride that completely elimi-
mates I-beam shimmy and wheel
fight, lets you move faster to get
more work done in a day.
Brawnier buIIdozer build!
They're tougher than any Chevy
trucks ever made. Frames are
stronger, cabs 67% more rigid. Front
wheels and tires are precision
balanced. And that new suspension
cushions jars and road shock that
used to spell slow death for sheet
metal. Longer life is assured!
More comfortable cabs!
Easier to hop in and out of too.
Many models are a whole z inches
lower outside. Yet there's more
head room inside, plus more width
for shoulders and hips. The wind
shields bigger, with a wider, safer
sweep of vision. Suspended pedals
give you more foot room.
Big in the power department!
With the industry's most advanced
gas-saving 6's. With high torque
Workmaster V8 performance in
heavyweights. With new 6-cylinder
or V8 power available in new Low
Cab Forward models.
More models than ever!
New 4-wheel-drive models and
tandems and high-styled Suburban
Caryalls. It's the handsomest,
hardest working Chevy fleet ever to
report for duty. See your dealer for
the whole story and, by all means,
take a ride. It's something!

About 100 troopers, some Of
them mounted, were ordered to
the base area in accordance
with new security arrangements
agreed on by United States and
Philippine military command

The measures were ordered to
prevent further cases Of armed
robbery and intrusion on the
base. Five such cases were re-
ported at Clark in the last two
weeks.
On Saturday. an American
air policeman was seized and
held captive briefly by three
rif1e-bearing Filipinos. They
repeatedly were out to get an
other air policeman who shot
and killed a Filipino thief the
week before.
Security within the base itself

pino guards.

quarters of the United States

thievery, looting, blackmail, ex-
tortion and assault"
The statement raised a storm

what the partners said it had
cost them so far to salvage it
The decision to auction came
after the Salvors sought a clear
title to the ship. That effort
became involved when another
salvor, Clifford Warner, claimed
he was the first man to board
the sunken Queen and had a
right to possession.
No title could be granted by
the Federal court until the two
conflicting claims were set
tied. With Mr.. Warmers agree
ment, Judge Walter E. Hoff-
man was asked to order the
sale.
Costs Of the auction and of
salvaging the ship were to be
paid first from any proceeds of
the sale. A hearing had been
scheduled for December 81 to
determine how any profits
would be divided.

he opposes the use Of Federal
funds for any birth-control
measures in other nations, but
a spokesman said later this was
a misinterpretation of his
views.
Asked today to clarity
whether he was against the use
Of any United States public
funds for birth-control meas
ureS in other countries, he de-
clined to go beyond his state
ment last week to the New
York Times.
He said that statement,
which contained the advocate"
phrase but made no direct ref
erence to the use Of public
funds, represented his position.
Among the other potential
Democratic candidates, Adlai
Stevenson has said the United
States should not hesitate to
consider requests for birth con-
troll aid in other countries; Sen
ator Humphrey of Minnesota
stated it should not be our
policy to deny assistance con-
sidered by another nation to
be essential to its welfare; SEN

where such action is in the in
terest of another country.
Statement BY Brown
Following is the text of Gov.
Browns statement:
Il have been asked several
times during the last few days
for a formal statement of my
position on the complex ques-
ton of use of United States
economic aid funds by under
developed nations for popula-
tion control purpl ses.
"At the outset, I should note
that a Catholic public official
has no more difficulty in this
matter than a Catholic judge
has in granting divorces, even
though divorce is contrary to
his religious belief.
Specifically, after study. I
have arrived at the opinion
that this country should not
use economic aid funds so as
to influence other nations or
their peoples in their decisions
on population control in any
way, whether for or against.
With but few exceptions,
United States economic aid
should be used for purposes
decided on by the countries
to which the aid is given, not
by our Government. I do not
think population control is a
proper exception. would op-
pose banning aid to a country
because the people of that
country have chosen to en-
bark on a population control
program. I am further opposed
to stipulating that no country
shall use United States funds
in such a program-just as I
am opposed to this country
offering funds on the specific
condition that they shall be
used for population control.

nlerdrcny IN Jne united states.
The Governor, who is re-
garded as a likely contender for
the 1860 Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, issued a formal
statement late yesterday that
went substantially beyond his
comments on the same subject
last Saturday.
After study, he said, he has
concluded the United States
should not use economic aid to
influence other nations OF
their peoples for or against
programs Of population con-
trolls. He would oppose banning
aid to a country because it has
embarked on its own program
Of this sort, he said.
Differs With Bishops
But then Gov. Brown went
further in a direction diverging
from that taken by the Gath
olic bishops Of the United
States in expressing their op-
position last week to use of
foreign aid funds for birth
control projects in other lands.
II am further opposed to
stipulating that no country
shall use United States funds
in such a program" he said
"just as I am opposed to this
country offering funds on the
specific condition that they
shall be used for population
control"
Thus he would not refuse the
use Of economic assistance to
other countries birth control
programs. where the bishops
apparently would.
Spur to Speculation
They said in their statement
which has brought comment
from most Democratic presi-
dental aspirants that American
Catholics will not support any
public assistance, either at
home or abroad. to promote
artificial birth prevention "
The obvious pains taken by
the Governor to state his pre-
else views on the issue Of popu-
lation control added to specu-
lation that he will be an active
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President.
He made no direct reference
10 how he might deal with such
matters in the White House but
noted that a Catholic public
official has no more difficulty
deciding such issues than a
Catholic judge has in granting
divorces"
Senator Kennedy, Democrat
Of Massachusetts,, declined to
comment Immediately on Gov.
Browns position on the possible
use of foreign aid funds for
birth control projects initiated
by other countries. He said
he would not comment without
being more fully informed of
the Governors views.
Senator Kennedy, the lead
ing Catholic contender for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation, has said it would be a
mistake for the United States
to advocate" population con-
troll in other states.

of more than 1900 ballistic

The missiles have ranged
from comparatively small, 20
mile range tactical lombard
ment weapons to interconti-

huge booster" engines for
sending space vehicles aloft.
The nuclear tests have gone
from the first atomic explosion
in l945 to at least one hydrogen
blast with a force equivalent to
more than is million tons Of
