Taking sharp issue with op-
ponents of the Truth-in-Pack-
aging bill, Senator Philip A,

plans to call for early conSid-
Grafton OF the DILL before the
Senate Antitrust and Monopoly
subcommittee. ~
At the close of IL days of
extensive hearing on the meas

hearings had reinforced his be-
lief that the new legislation
offers the sureSt. way to solve
the problem Of false packaging
and labelling which is plagu-
ing both businessmen and con-
Sumers.
A spokesman for the United
States Chamber of Commerce
at the final hearing on Friday
charged that the present law
is adequate and that Inert
and unimaginative enforce
ment by Federal agencies was
the real problem.
Senator Hart pointed to con-
ditions In the marketplace as
ample proof that the present
law is not adequate" The bill
will provide q means for es-
tablishing minimal ground
rules In the specific areas
where the practices causing
these socially undesirable re-
suits are found, he declared.

One Of the most important

Changes In Rates
The normal rate on the first

rate to income in excess Of
$25, 900 would remain at So per

the surtax rate 80 per cent.
But by 1865 the surtax rate
would 60 down gradually to rs

corporation rate at that time

ON WHEELS

Before automobile histor-
ians close their books, they're
bound and obligated to devote
at least one chapter to the
firm and bold stand taken by
the Ford Motor Co., on per-
formance.
As is already recent history,
Ford broke away from an In
dustry-wide agreement not to
emphasize speed and horse
power; promptly launched into
open and legitimate competi-
ton and just as promptly
bagged a number Of impressive
racing victories.
With its background of safe
ty research, 1t becomes obvious
that the company Is not con-
doning rubber screaming,

sage is performance"
Sells Automobiles
AS long as the performance
proving is confined to the stock
car circuits, the legitimate road
rallies and such proving
grounds as the Indianapolis
500, the Ford stand carries
logic. And Dearborn says'it sells
cars. Engineers say that 500
miles at speeds Of $50 miles
an hour is equivalent to the
punishment of $4,000 miles OF
normal driving.
As Of the moment, General
Motors is still shy and Ameri-
can Motors is flatly opposed
to such tactics, yet any stock
car racing results will see Pom
tlacs and Chevrolets In promi-
nent spots. Such appearances
are ostensibly without an iota
Of builder participation.
