Duplicating America’s costliest cars, feature after feature, Ford is worth more when you buy it. . . wprth more when you sell it!

A FEW MINUTES on the tclcplioue calling the dealers who sell America’s - finest cars will reveal there are at least eleven models among four makes with price tags over $4,000! Now the interesting thing is that in feature after feature the Ford car dunlioutes each one of these fine cars, and forless than half the fine car price!* To be sjyecific: If you will look under the hood of the most expensive cars what do you find? A l'-8 Engine! Well, the Ford car has a V-8, too: In fact; it lias had V-8 power since 1932, and since that time h ord Las built more V-B’s—by millions —thkin\all, other manufacturers combined. And there’s no other builder in Ford s price range that’s seen fit to offer one yet! Another point—though Fords Strato-Star V-8 turns out a tidy 110 horsepower, it’s not the number alone that counts. It g the kind of power you get out of the engine-through the transmission—that tells the story. And, what you get out of the Ford V-8 with any of three transmission options—Fordomatic, Overdrive -and Cdnventional-is written in letters of “go” wherever tlicre is a road. But the engine, as fine as it is, is only one of many things that make a fine car fine. Automatic shifting, for example. All the fine cm's offer it to one form or another. But if you’ve never driven a Ford with Fordomatic you’ve missed one of the finer things of life. This amazing transmission not only does away with clutching and shifting forever—it gives you exactly the amount of power you want, when you want it—automatically. And, without delay. Some so-called automatics stiff require a clutch pedal and take their own sweet time to get you going. Not so with

Only One Percent Os Lend-Lease Collected WASHINGTON.

Great Lakes-Florida Toll Road Proposed Officials Os Five States In Meeting KENTUCKY LAKE STATE PARK, Ky. iUP — Gov. Craig Craig of Indiana today expressed optimism for prospects of a proposed toll super-highway from the Great Lakes to Florida. Craig met with top officials from Kentucky, Tennessee Georgia and Florida to search for agreement on a plan for the road. During a break in the meetings. Craig joined Gov. Lawrence Wetherby of Kentucky in saying, “We will work out a plan to each state.” Craig came two days early for Tib meeting and brought his fishing pole. (Threats of serious hurricane damage delayed arrival of several Southern state delegations Sunday and caused postponement of all discussions until today. The state of Alabama declined

Fordomatic. In train with cither the V-8 or Six, Fordomatic says "yes” when you say “go” Fine car potter steering, too. The big; heavy costly cars offer it for tire samp reason they offer power brakes. It’s a man-sized job for a 120 pound woman to handle a car weighing two ton? or more without it—especially when parking. Our “Master-Guide” power steering has two distinct benefits. First, it gives a hydraulic power assist right down at the wheels and just enough to take out the work. You don’t relinquish one particle of control — rather your control is more complete and far easier. Second, being hydraulic, “Master-Guide” power steering absorbs those fatiguing steering wheel tremors caused by ruts arid roads in bad repair. Incidentally, this is a great safety advantage, because the car is so much easier to control in the case of a tire blow-out or hitting a soft shoulder unexpectedly. And road wander due to a cross wind is something you can forget about And you don’t pay a fine car price for “Master-Guide.” But there is another fine car feature—the Ford ride. Books have been written on the subject of riding quality in an automobile, but the payoff comes on the pavement—or lack of it! Many people associate a comfortable ride with fexcess weight, but it’s not weight alone that makes for comfort. If it were, those big five-ton trucks which you see every day would be the,most-comfortable vehicles on the road. Without being technical we can tell you that what’s been done With the suspension and springing system gives the Ford a softer, smoother ride than many caps which tip the scales at better than an added half ton. What’s more, Ford engineers have found out how to cut front end road shock up to 80%—

Woman Is Held On Shoplifting Charge CHICAGO, UP — A 58-year-old Woman was held today on suspicion of shoplifting after she tyas found in a Loop store with a mink cape and a mink coat worth a total of $4,800.

something many of the others haven’t! Roads you’d avoid entirely in many cars become not just passable—but passable in comfort. And, when you round a curve, you do it on the level—one of the advantages of another fine car feature—Ford’s wide front treadAnd speaking of ride, we’d also like to point out that all seats—front and rear—in a Ford arc cushioned in foam rubber, and at no extra cost. What about room? Here’s an interesting point. If you’ve felt that only a costly car offered enough room, you just Otfght to sit 1 down in a lord even if you’re butjrsize and six feet four! The so-called big car is bigger on the outside, U> be sure, but unjq;s you buy a liniousine with those little jump seats, it’s not one passenger bigger inside. Every standard 1* ord model carries six—with the exception of the Business Coupe, and of course, die Country Sedan and Country Squire which carry eight-with ease. And, ' as for baggage room ’-—Ford trunk compartments measure better than 26 cubic feet.

Helen Traubel To Quit Grand Opera » Opera Singer. On , Night Club Circuit NEW YORK UP — Wagnerian soprano Helen Traubel turned her hack on the staid old Metropolitan Opera today to spend a season singing “fine popular music” on the night club circuit. She said she would rather sing the St. Louis Blues in a cabarc’ than yield to the “rank snobbery’ of Metropolitan general manager Rudolf Bing. Bing had offered Miss Traubel a contract for the coming season with a provision she wbuld not appear in New York night clubs before, during and after her appearances at the Met “. J. These two activities do net really seem to mix very well,” he said. t 'Miss Traubel, a leading light ai since she made her debut there in 1939, sent the contract back unsigned. She disclosed at exchange of letters between Bing

In fact, we think most people agree-even our competitors—that the appearance of a Ford Car leaves little to be desired. It’s “at home" wherever it goes and it goes everywhere. | there you have it>—the features and reasons that make a fine car fine as far as control, looks and comfort are concerned. But what about Ford quality? Does it too ' match the fine car? Is the sheet metal of the body panels as thick? Is the finish as good? How about the trim and things like that? Well, as far as we can determine, the sheet metal is identical in thickness in practically ail instances. As to finish—we believe Ford’s baked-on enamel has no equal in 4ny car, - Ford upholstery fabrics and trim are less costly, to be sure, but they’re less delicate, too, and if anything, more durable. How then is it possible to give uou this fine car at half the fine car price? Part of the answer lies in Ford manufacturing skills and knowledge as evidenced by the V-8 engine. Part of it comes from the ever increasing numbers of cars Ford pro-\ duces and the economics they make possible. And, part of it comes from Ford’s willingiaess to give gtqater values than might be expected in cars selling in Ford’s price range • That’s the Ford idea. Summing up. All these things add Up to a fact that a prudent man cannot overtook, Ford Cars are not only worth more when you buy—but also worth more when you sell, as proved by the prices Ford used cars bring in the used car markets throughout the country. No wonder Ford is proving to be, America’s finest fine-car buy! FORD t mow whenyou buy mow when vou sell Iff

The St. Louis-born soprano made her night club “debut” two weeks ago in Chicago and is scheduled to open Oct. 2 at the Statler Hotel in Washington, D. C. In the past she has appeared with comedian Jimmy Durante on Television. Migs Traubel told Bing that “artistic dignity is not a matter of wh<re one sings.” "It is not the environment that categorizes the performadee. The artist of integrity who refuses to compromise her standards is able to imbue whatever place she appears in, with,her own dignity,” she said. “America has produced a wealth Os fine, popular music — music written by Americans, sung by Americans, loved >y Americans.

Ousted Union Makes Threat Ot Stoppage Ousted AFL Union Gives Ultimatum NEW YORK UP — The orpbaned International Longshoremen’s Association handed the AFL an ultimatum today that may lay jtbe battle line for an all-out union “war”i involving 60,000 Atlantic and Gulf Coast dock workers. The ILA, ousted from the AFL for tolerating gangsterism and corruption in its ranks, served notice its members would refuse to load or unload any ship manned by 4FL seamen it the AFL wear’ ahead with plans to organize a rival union of Longshoremen. A clear-cat loyalty fight took skape between uaiou forces remaining with the rebuffed ILA, headed by fiery Joseph P.

The AFL organisers made their first target the Brooklyn waterfront. traditional sore spot of hoodlum rule and union racketeering. Law enforcement officials were mobilizing for what they feared would be an outbreak of terrorism and violence.

The ILA ultimatum raised the threat of work stoppages that could tie up thousands of tons of ship--ping at Atlantic and Oylf Coast ports, depending on the effectiveness of Ryan's call for loyalty. Ships serving those ports are manned by both CIO and AFT, seanen, and presumably the ClOnanned ships would be unaffected >y any boycott The weekend saw these developments in the turbulent dock working situation: \ 1.

Beliefs Are Stated By Corliss Lamoni Challenges Right Os Senate Queries NEW YORK UP —Corliss Lamont, Columbia University philosophy lecturer who has challenged the right of a senate committee to Question him about his writtings and beliefs, issued a statement of his beliefs Sunday describing himself as “part of the independent non-Communist left.” Lamont, son of the late Thomas W. Lamont, who was chairman of J. P. Morgan & Co., appeared last week ip a closed session before Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R-Wis., sitting as a one-man subcommittee of his government operations committee. . | -i McCarthy said Lamont hart de-' nied that he was a Communist but had refused to answer a number of questions regarding Lamont writings used by the army. Lamont claimed immunity, not under the fifth amendment, which protects against self-incrimination but under the first amendment, which protects freedom of speech and the press. He insisted the senate had no right to question a nongovernment employe on his beliefs. McCarthy said he would call, Lamont to an open hearing and ask the senate to cite him for contempt. “My program is socialism in economics, democracy in politics and humanism in philosophy,” Lamont said in his statement. - H« »*L<l th? opfy noUUcal.pactkPi he had ever belonged so were the Progreteive party and the American Labor party, both of which have been supported by Communiats but deny Conununiat control. , “in general, I prefqr to see. not Communist parties but moderate Socialist or parties, like the British Labor party, put across Socialism in Western Europe elsewhere,” Lamont said. “While maintaining a position of critical sympathy toward the Soviet Union, my sympathy has never been, like that of the Communists, of an exclusive character, applying only to Soviet Russia and its allies.”

Lamont cited a number of instances in which be disagreed with Communist teachings about economics, science and religion.
