AND LOWEST-PRICED LINE
IN ITS FIELD!
Yes. Chevrolet prices start lower—anu/iuL.t lower—than those of any
other line of cars in the Chevrolet price range. For today, Chevrolet
has the lowest-priced car as well as the lowest-priced line of passen-
ger cars in its field—with exceptionally low gas, oil and upkeep
costs as well. And, of course, when it comes to quality —when it
comes to Big-Car beauty, Big-Car comfort, Big-Car performance
and dependability—Chevrolet and Chevrolet alone brings you . . .

Alaska is larger than the

Texas, California and Montana.
Alaska also matches in area the

are fewer than live in Nevada,

Statehood for Aalaska would

The House: Its 444 bench-like

The 245 Republicans have only
222 seats on their side, but they
probably won’t show up simulta-

Unlike the Senate, House mem-

Senator Chan Gurney (R) of South Dakota, chairman of the armed

Lawyers In India
Oppose Jury Systen
MA1DURA, India (TP)—The leu

ince, ohe o fthe most reputab
legal organizations in Indip, hi
appealed for abolition of thfeljui
system on the grounds that th
evils it leads to “are much greal
er than its benefits.”
Numerous publications hav
claimed that the jury systen
brought in by the British, is no
suited to the Indian mentality.
Most commentators hava as
serte dthat the opportunity fo
“fixing” a jury was much greate
than “fixing” a judge, and tha
juries in India are more incline
to be biased toward friends am
neighbors.
• AFFABLE, HARD-HITTING Senator Kenneth Wherry (R)
Nebraska agreed that the organization meeting of the Senate
propriationa committee fell on one of his "bad days."
Wherry was perhaps the leading critic of the
state department in the old Congress and fervently
hoped fae would draw the chairmanship of the state,
commerce and justice subcommittee on appropria-
tions.
But the appropriations committee assigned chairmanships by
seniority and Senator Joseph H. Bal! (R) of Minnesota slightly out-
ranked Wherry. That was the first blow.

Special to Central Press
0 WASHINGTON—A battle is shaping up in Congress over na-
tional defense expenditures. But what is not generally realized is
that a good part of the fight will be to raise President Truman’s
budget figures.
If defense outlays are held down to the $11,256,000,000, which the
president recommended, it will he a pretty fair compromise and all
hands can call it a day.
The fight, ot course, will be over appropriations. Mr. Truman
asked Congress to vote an additional $10,041,000,000 for national
___________ defense. If Congress votes that much, the Army
and Navy can spend $11,256,000,000. If Congress
votes less, the armed services cannot spend that
much.
Naturally, there is a chunk of holdover money,
and this accounts for the difference.
Actually, the president did some pretty mean
budget-cutting tefore he drew up his figures. He
trimmed the Army's request by $1,500,000,000
and the Navy’s by $2,000,000,000.
There was a lot of wailing over the president’s
own axe-swinging job. Top Army and Navy of-
ficials and the War and Navy secretaries pleaded
eloquently. But the president was adamant.
Now Congress will hear the wails when it
to the budget-preparation job.

WASHINGTON, (TP)—Congress
has gone to work in a couple of
rooms that look like old gymna-
siums. Only thg gyms usually
are better lighted.
The House and Senate cham-
bers look like gymnasiums be-
cause each ceiling is supported
| by a network of steel beams.
Engineers decided the ancient
' ceilings were unsafe, so in 1941
the beams were put in. Without
thia support, congressional oratory
might literally have become roof-
shaking.
The eightieth congress should
be an important one, so let’s peek
in at the places 'where history is
being made.
Both the House and Senate
chambers are built on the same
plan. A gallery runs around
each. From this balcony specta-
tors may peer do'wn on legislators
in action.
But a spectator who drops in
during a routine session is apt to
be disappointed.
Many, perhaps most, of the seats
will be vacant, for congressmen
have lots of chores besides de-
bating and voting, and besides,
much of Congress’ work is done
in committee rooms.
Now, for a few differences in
the two places.
The Senate: Its desks have
been carefully divided. The 51
Republican desks are at the left
of the presiding officer. The 45
(Tcxoa) Damj Tliuws Evening, January
WASHINGTON (TP) — If Con-
gress should grant statehood to
Alaska, as requested by a terri-
torial referendum, some shuffling
of national statistics would re-
sult, accroding to the National
Geographic Society.
Alaska’s 586,400 square miles
would increase the area of the
states by one-fifth. The change
would wipe out Texas’ proud
boast of top size by giving the
Union a commonwealth fore than
ledge lined up for the miners, and Justices Recd, Frankfurter, Bur-
ton and Jackson arrayed against Lewis.
Such a line-up would leave Vinson with the all-important deciding
vote.
One coal industry attorney expressed the opinion that the
$3,510,000 fine levied against Lewis and ths UMW by the lower
court will be moderated considerably.
He contended that Lewis certainly was in contempt of the district
court injunction against the coal walkout, but expressed belief that
the supreme court would find mitigating Circumstances in his dis-
obedience.
For example, the high tribunal might hold that the Injunction
