LUXURIOUS STYLING of Pontiac’s 1962 sports coupe models is graphically illustrated
by these views of the sparkling new Bonneville. A smaller rear window and a lower
roof design give this two-door hardtop the rakish look of a softtop convertible. A divided
Y-shaped grille of horizontal bars exemplifies the smooth flowing lines and the Bonne-
ville’s generous full-length side moulding accentuates the ear’s long, low and sleek
appearance. This same new look in hardtops is found in the Catalina sports coupe.
Thirteen new '62 Pontiac models
exhibit dramatic prestige styling

CONGRESS TO END WORK NEXT WEEK
Demo, GOP solons differ on session
Bv JACK BELL
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate
Democratic Leader Mike Mans-
field of Montana said Saturday
Congress has written a “very sat-
isfactory record” in the current
session expected to end next week.
But Senate Republican Leader
Everett M, Dirksen of Illinois said
in a separate interview Congress
has handed some “serious
feats” to President Kennedy.
dc-
With several important meas-
ures yet to be acted on finally.
Congress seems likely to go home
leaving on the 1962 hook a half
dozen major Kennedy proposals.
These include medical care for
the aged, general aid to educa-
tion; creation of a department of
ui;ban affairs; a Senate-passed bill
to provide job retraining; general
tax reform legislation and a Sen-
ate-approved revision of the Battle

Iron Curtain countries where the
president feels it would enhance
U.S. security.
Mansfield said that despite this
he thinks the over all record is
very satisfactory.
He praised Republicans for
making it possible to have bi-
partisan support for Kennedy's
foreign policy actions.
“The Republicans are entitled to
a great Jdeal of credit for the re-
sponsible manner in which they
have acted in the foreign policy
j field,” he said.
Dirksen said it will continue to
j be Republican policy “to be ob-
jective and never oppose just to
be opposing.”
On 16 proposals Kennedy put on
a priority list early in the sessio.n
he got action on 11. Among meas
sures which became law were un-
employment compensation exten
sion, minimum wage increase and
area redevelopment legislation.
In addition. Congress provided
financing for the interstate high-
way system, created '73 new fed-
eral judgeships, gave the Presi-
dent governmental reorganization
power, voted Social Security bene
fit increases, enacted three anti-
crime bills and extended the air
port aid program.
The Berlin crisis gave Kennedy
»dl of the impetus he needed for
overwhelming congressional ap-
proval of a 13.5-billion stepup in
defense spending, with emphasis
on expansion of ground force
capabilities.
But Kennedy took a political
licking on some of the measures
that became law Congres* threw
out the administration do-it-your-
self version and wriite if* own
farm bill. The President is get-
ting five-year authority for devel-
opment loans in the foreign aid
bill, but he lost his fight for
Treasury borrowing which would
have given him considerable more
leeway in handling this program.
Looking over I his .record. White
House staff members have come
up with the conclusion that the
first session of Congress did bet-
ter by Kennedy than his first ses-
sion did by former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
They listed 33 measures or
less importance they felt added
up to a satisfactory accomplish-
ment.
“Pontiac intends to continue its
leadership of the medium price
class in 1962 with an imposing line-
up of new cars which are unparal-
!ed in beauty, performance, hand-
ling, reliability and riding com-
fort,” said S. E. Knudsen, Gen-
eral Motors vice president and
Pontiac Motor Division general
manager, as he introduced t h e
new regular size Pontiac line The
new models go on display at Chief-
tain Pontiac in Levelland on Thurs-
day, Sept. 21.
Four luxurious Bonneville mod-
els, two distinctive Star Chiefs and
seven cars in the lower priced
Catalina series comprise the new
line, he announced.
In detailing the car s new fea-
tures Knudsen pointed to all new
styling, improved V-8 engine;;, ex-
tended lubrication limits up to 35,-
000 miles, a Circ-L-Aire heater
standard for all series, more rug-
ged suspension and smoother op-
erating Hydra - Malic transmis-
sions.
“Exclusive new styling' both in-
side and out conveys a dramatic
prestige look throughout all thir-
teen new wide track models.”
Knudson declared. “A spectacular
V-shaped front end, sweeping side
sculpturing, an expansive rear
end design and new custom roof
styling — resembling convertible
top design on sports coupe mod-
els — arc major contributions to
the car s exciting new exterior ap-
pearance." he revealed. "Further
enhancing car beauty are new
Pontiac Magic - Mirror finishes of
durable, high gloss acrylic lacquer-

sembly of two - tone combinations.
Completely new Pontiac interiors
according to Knudsen. are de-
signed for the ultimate in operator
and passenger comfort, safety and
convenience Richly appointed in-
strument panels feature cushion
pads and distinctive ornamenta-
tion for each series. Attractive scat
coverings of Jeweltone Morro-
kides or pattern cloths and genu-
ine leather are color keyed to har-
monize with exterior finished. All
models include deep loop pile
door - to - door carpeting.
Power for the new line is sup-
plied by Pontiac's renowned Tro-
phy 425 engine. The big 389 cubic
inch V-8 is offered in a broad se-
lection of model variations with
horsepowers ranging from 215 to
348 Standard with synchromesh
transmission in Catalina and Star
Chief models in an 8.6:1 compres-
sion ratio engine equipped with
two - barrel carburetor. An 8.6:1
engine with four - barrel carbure-
tion is standard with synchromesh
in Bonnevilles. Both standard en-
gines as well as the 425 E ecr *>-
m> V-8. a no - extra - cos! oni on
with Pontiacs using Hydra - Malic
transmissions, can operate on reg-
ular fuel.
Additional engine options offer
compression ratios up to 10.75:1
and a choice of two, four or triple
two - barrel carburelion.
The longer new Pontiacs. with
the exceptions of the three Safari
station wagons, measure 21'.6 in-
ches in the Catalina series and
218.6 inches in the Star Chief and
Bonneville series The Safaris have
an overall length of 212. 3mchcs.
Heights range from a low of 54.5
inches with sports coime models
to 56 9 inches for the Safaris. All
new Pontiacs measure 78.6 inches
in width.
In the Catalina sedan, hardtop
and convertible models the wheel-
base has been extended to 120 in-
ches. Star Chiefs and all Bonne-
villes, except the Safari, are
built on a 123 inch wheelbase. All
Safari wheelbases measure 119
inches.
All new models will be lubricat-
ed with a special grease during
assembly, permitting extension of
the chassis lubrication interval up
to 35.000 miles under normal driv-
ing conditions. The crankcase oil
drain interval at new car driveout
is advanced to 4,000 miles under
favorable conditions.
New intake manifolds in Ponti-
ac's Trophy 425 engine insure a
speedier warm - up period and
greater economy. The o - barrel
carburetor on the basic V-8 with
Hydra - Matic is recalibrated for
improved economy and smoothness
and all four - barrel carburetors
are redesigned for better fuel
control and smoother, more econo-
mic road operation.
Both front and rear suspension
systems are engineered for great-
er isolr'.icn of shock and noise re-
sulting '• 1 rough road surfaces.

Heavy losses
to croos seen
in coastal area
COLLEGE STATION (AP) -
John Hutchison, director of the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, predicted today heavy
losses to unharvested crops and
livestock in Texas coastal counties
as a result of Hurricane Carla.
County agents are still asses-
sing the damage, he said, and are
not expected to have the work
completed for several days.
Damage to farm homes, other
buildings, machinery and equip-
ment varies from county to coun-
ty. Other damage includes that to
stored grain, to rice in driers
which have no power foe the dry-
ing process, fences washed out.
water supplies contaminated, and
to household furnishings and
equipment soaked by flooding or
heavy rains.
From the hard - hit upper Gulf
Coast area, Silver Whitsctt from
Richmond reported all farm ac-
tivities had been stopped by the
torrential rams, high tides and
lashing winds. Most cotton which
was open has been destroyed.
Damage to rice may run very
high. Cattle losses may be very
high in the low areas.
In far South Texas, some citrus
was blown from the trees but the!
heavy showers along the coast will
improve winter pastures.
Rains from Carla have supplied
soil moisture but have stopped the
almost complete corn and grain
sorghum harvests in Central Tex-
as. The cotton harvest has been
stopped. Losses have not been as
