sition to major changes adopted
by the Senate last night.
In passing the bill after
midnight. the Senate revised
some tax rates up and down,
but rejected two attempts to
meet the deficit in the highway

The House actually will not
name its confereeS until this
afternoon. but they met in
formally with the Senate man
ayers this morning to save

Tuesday deadline.
The House managers were

Tells of Teumster

The business manager of the
Detroit Times told the Senate
Rackets Committee today his
newspaper has kept a Team
sters Union official on the pay
roll Ito avoid any trouble"
In another phase of the
committees buildup for the
appearance of TeamSter Presi-
dent James R. Hoffa later to-
day, evidence was introduced
to show how hard it is for dis
sident members to run their
unions even when they win
elections.
John Mcnamara. secretary
treasurer of Local sos in New
York. invoked the Fifth
Amendment in refusing to an
swer charges that he has frus-
trated efforts by an opposition
group to clean up his union.
Among other things. accord
ing to testimony. Mr.. Nc
Namara kept his post as secre-
tary-treasurer-the real boss of
Local 808-despite a ruling by
the Honest Ballot Association
throwing out the election.
Weeks Pay for One Night
On the Detroit Times case.
Business Manager Charles r.
Obermyer testified that the
newspaper pays Joseph Pre-
benda. secretary-treasurer of
Local 372. full salary as a cir
culation truck driver although
he works only Saturday nights.
He agreed with Chairman
Mcclellan. Democrat of Ar
kansas. that it would be diff
cult to conStrue the payments
as anything but a "shakedown. "
Mr.. Obermyer said the Times
discontinued the arrangement
the day before yesterday. From
now on. he said, Mr.. Prebenda
will be paid only if he works.
Mr.. Prebenda disputed Mr..
Obermyer'S version of the
setup. contending he counts
money, makes out route sheets
and does other detail work
when he is not actually driv-
ing his truck.
Most of the time, testimony
indicated. Mr.. Prebenda's
brother drives the truck. He is
paid as a helper. The trucks
usually carry both a driver and
q helper.
Says He Shares Pay
Mr.. Prebenda testified he
draws his pay as driver and
shares it with his brother.
You are now talking about
two brothers who are like this, "
Mr.. Prebenda said in a pained
tone, holding two fingers to-
gether. I'VE get along" he
added.
At any rate, he said, the job
gets done.
He conceded that he contin-
ued drawing pay from the
Times even when he was in
Florida and when he spent sew
eral weeks in Washington at
tending Mr., Hoffa's trial on
bribery charges.
Mr.. Prebenda said his union
pay is S270 plus about $50 ex-
penses weekly.
He testified under question
ing that he loaned Mr.. Hoffa
$4,000 in 1853 or 1854, without
security and without a note.
and never has asked for re-
payment.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat
of Massachusetts, recalled that
Mr.. Hoffa has explained pos
session of large sums of money
by testifying that he has bor-
rowed cash from several of his
subordinateS.

self has been going through some big changes
in the past few years. Our cities have been
straining at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed.
Parking space is at premium.
And our suburbs have spread like wildfire.
People are living farther from their work,
driving more miles on crowded streets. There
is new leisure time-but more things to do.
There's new standard of living-and more
need for two cars in the family garage.
In short, Americas automobile needs have
become so complex that no one kind of car can
satisfy them completely. That is why we at
Chevrolet, keeping tab. on these trends, have
had revolutionary compact car in the plan
ming stages for more than nine years under
going revisions and refnements.
Consequently, when we decided three years
ago to prepare for production Of such car
we were ready to build it the way it should be
built. There was no need for hasty "crash"
program that would create only sawed-off
version of conventonal-sized car.
That is why the two cars you will see in

entirely different kinds of cars-each one built
the way it should be built, to best fill the needs
it was meant to fill.
One is the conventional go Chevrolet-brand
new in beauty, with new space inside, new
spirit under the hood, new feeling of sump-
tuousness and luxury never before attained by
any car in its field. There is great V8 power,
linked with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's superb
(and Americas most popular) 6-cylinder en-
CINE. It is traditional car that comes even
closer to perfection-in silence, in room, in
ease of control, in velvety ride-than any other
car we have ever made.
The other is the Corvair, compact car that
is astonishingly different from anything ever
built in this country. It has to be-because this
is a sir-passenger compact car, with really

CHEVY MOUNTS THE ENGINE TO MATCH THE CAR

The front-mounted engine provides
most efficient weight distribution in
a conventionaI-sized Chevrolet,
splitting the load almost evenly
between front and rear wheels.
Since 4.door Chevy sedan weighs
$3.50 lbs, this design puts adequate
weight in the rear for footed

totally new-mostly aluminium and air cooled;
it weighs about 40 per cent less than conven-
tional engines. It is "flat'' horizontally op-
posed six-so it is only three cylinders long ;.
and that leaves lot more room for passengers.
Another weight saving: like modern air.
planes, the Corvair has no frame; the body
shell supplies its great structural strength ;.
it's welded unit that is virtually rattle-free.
The ride is fantastic. But to get it we had
to design independent suspension at every
wheel; conventional springing would give
compact car choppy ride. Right now we'll
make one prediction: the Corvair will be the
only American compact car with this type of
suspension systematic only one that rides so
comfortably, holds the road so firmly and
handles so beautifully.
Now there are two kinds of cars from Chew
rolet-because it takes two kinds of cars to
serve Americas needs today. If you love
luxury = the utmost in luxury and if you
want generous interior space, breath-taking
performance, automatic drives and power
assists-then the conventional go Chevrolet
may be your choice.

WOMEN are waging war on

Is at stake.
In Los Angeles, a group of
neighbors have banded together
to battle careless motorists on
their street. Known as the Min
ute Women of Roscomare Road"
they record the license numbers
OF automobiles driven in a hap
hazardous manner.
If repeated offenses are re-
corded for the same car, the
women send the owner a letter
urging him to drive more care
fully.
