A FREE PRESS... and CENSORSHIP
America is at pcace. While we have men
in uniform stationed over the world, we are
not at war. In every way, we are working to
preserve our peaceful relations witn other
peoples whose idealogies and aspirations dif-
fer from ours
Figuring largely in that huge undertaking
is America's Free Press. Even during the
peaceful years, it has become nccessary that
certain information regarding discoveries and
inventions be protected. Security has become
big business.
"Keep this out of the newspaper," are fight-
in? words to any newspaper editor who is a
conscientious craftsman. Yet editors of all
newspapers, large and small, realize the re-
sponsibilities facing them, to help preserve
the securities that are so important to all of
us.
Government, the military, and the scien-
tific fields, receive full cooperation from the
men and women who, by training, are accus-
tomed to dig out and know the news . . . and
who, by instinct, strive to keep the people
fully informed
Americans have a right to expect that full
freedom of the press be preserved, within the
bounds drawn by these securities.
For a completely free press is the only safe
foundation on which government of the peo-
ple can build all other freedoms.

PLYMOUTH SAVES YOU MONEY ON CAS...
MOBILGAS ECONOMY RUN VICTORY PROVES IT!
New "Fuel-Saver" Choke that helped clinch title
is standard equipment on all Plymouth V-8s
Pound for pound. Plymouth uses less gasoline than either
of the "other two" cars in the low-price "3"! This was
proved beyond doubt when a 1953 Plymouth V-8 was
officially declared winner of the low-price car competition
in the 1953 Mobilgas Economy Run. Plymouth's com-
petitors also entered cars with fi-cylinder engines (sup-
posedly more economical) but Plymouth beat every car
in its class—V-8s and 6s alike!
Th is title-winning Plymouth is exactly the same Belve-
dere V-8 with TorqueFIite Automatic Transmission that
you can buy right off your Plymouth dealer's floor.
These tests prove that every Plymouth has built-in
economy features not found in the "other two". For in-
TODAY'S BEST BUY.!.TOMORROW'S BEST TRADE. ■
stance —one of the most important factors in Plymouth's
smashing win is the new '"Fuel-Saver'' Choke that you get
at no extra cost on all Plymouth V-Hs. This ingenious
device employs a triple-stage vacuum piston and a new
thermostatic element to reduce the amount of fuel you
use in warming up the engine. So it can save you even
more on short-distance drives—the kind most people make.
Among the many other savings Plymouth gives you is
the S140 yon save on standard-equipment Torsion-Aire
Ride. The "other two" charge up to that much extra lor
their best suspension systems.
So if you are dollar-conscious, better hustle over and
talk terms and trade with your Plymouth dealer. lie wants
your business, and he'll go all out to get it!
