In the only nationally recognized test of gasoline economy,
the 1957 Mobilgas Economy Run, a Ford Six delivered more
miles per gallon than any other car entered! This, remember,
was no “private test” conducted for the benefit of a single
manufacturer. This was grueling competition between 12
different makes of cars . . . supervised by the United States
Auto Club. And when the test was over, Ford led all other
cars in the thing you want most—actual miles per gallon!

Fords cost less to trade!
Latest official auction sale figures on used cars show clearly
that the new kind of Ford commands a higher price than
either of its two low-priced competitors. The men who bid
at these auctions are professional buyers—men whose very
livelihood depends upon their expert knowledge of cars.
They pay more for used Fords because they know that Fords
hold up in value. Like thousands of Ford owners from coast
to coast, they have discovered that Ford is worth more when
you buy it . . . worth more when you sell it, too!

DURANGO, Colo. — During the
early 1880s, there was a church here
that was maintained largely by cat-
tle rustlers, bank robbers, and roust-
abouts.
Everyone liked the minister, and
on the wall of the principal gambling
casino was a box which bore this
legend: “Don’t forget Parson Hogue.”
The casino’s patrons contributed
generously.
Wood has been used as a fuel for
cooking since pre-historic times;
charcoal was known as far back as
1800 B. C.
The big question in connection
with pay raises for federal employes
is: Where’s the money coming from?
Maybe the Senate Civil Service
Committee has an idea.
The proposed pay raises are esti-
mated to cost around $600 million a
year. The committee has approved
an amendment that would freeze
payrolls for three months. After that
time only one in three vacancies
could be filled until there were 300,-
000 less working for the government.
That, the committee believes,
would save $1.2 billion a year.
No one would lose his job. The
amendment would reduce both fed-
eral expenditures and the vast size
of the federal bureaucracy. We hope
this amendment is no idle gesture but
a serious attempt to face up to fiscal
responsibilities.—Fort Worth Press.
COLLEGE STATION. — A syn-
thetic, tetrapioid of the sorghum
species has been developed by the
Texas Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion after 15 years of breeding and
selection.
This tetrapioid, Perennial Sweet
Sudangrass, was obtained by doub-
ling the chromosomes of Common
Sudangrass by treatment with col-
chicine and crossing it with Johnson-
grass. It has good forage qualities
with sweet and juicy stalks, good fer-
tility and seed production qualities,
and a perennial root growth habit in-
termediate between Johnsongrass
and Sudangrass. Its roots do not
penetrate as deeply as those of John-
songrass, so it is unlikely to become
a pest.
A leaflet just released by the Ex-
periment Station, “Perennial Sweet
Sudangrass,” gives pertinent in-
formation on this new grass. In-

In Star-Telegram
Recently comedian Eddie Cantor,
65, drew a Social Security check for
$217. Cantor, whose income runs to
five or six figures, later gave the
money to charity. He has accepted
it only to help Social Security offi-
cials point up a little-known clause
in the law. But the stunt backfired:
fresh fuel was added to an already
bitter battle over reshaping the whole
direction of Social Security.
Right now this battle is being
fought out in Congress, with groups
on each side pulling and tugging.
How it comes out will affect the
amount of money you draw tomor-
row—and the bite out of your pay
check today.
Briefly sketched, these are the bat-
tlelines:
One group thinks you should re-
ceive Social Security checks at age
65 (62 for women) on the sole basis
of how badly you need the money—
whether or not you’ve ever paid mon-
ey into the fund.
A second group thinks you should
receive the money automatically at
those ages—whether or not you need
it, and even if you keep on working.
A third group thinks Social Se-
curity should remain much as it is—
as insurance against loss of earnings
in old age or in case of serious illness
or death.
Today you can draw Social Secur-
ity and still earn $1,200 a year. For
each $80 you earn beyond that, you
must give up a month’s payment,
which can mean as much as $162.80.
But, in a month when you earn un-
der $80, you are eligible for a full
check. This is the clause Cantor was
publicizing.
But the “Eddie Cantor clause” also
is under attack. Recently an Idaho
cattle rancher showed why. Since he
must stay with his cattle all winter,
he’s classified as “working” and
can’t draw checks. But a neighbor-
ing wheat farmer only gives up his
■checks in the crop season; in winter
he goes back on Social Security—and
has checks mailed to his Florida ad-
dress.
Remember the Townsend Clubs?
They still claim 5 million members
and they’re still led by Dr. Francis
E. Townsend, who now is 90 years
old (and living on Social Security).
Dr. Townsend’s followers make up
the lively opposition to the current
setup.
The Towsendites have a new
“Townsend Plan” to replace the pres-
ent rules. If Congress should ap-
prove it—and the Townsendites have
a “steering” committee of seven Con-
gressmen—here’s how it would affect
you:
You’d automatically receive a pen-
sion of $140 a month when you
reached 60 or became disabled. The
same benefits would apply to wid-
ows with children.
You could continue working, earn-
ing up to $75 a month. Foi* every $2
you earned above that, you’d be pen-
alized $1.
You, and every individual earning
more than $3,000 a year—along with
all U. S. businesses—would pay for
the program by means of a new 2
percent tax.
Even if this plan doesn’t pass, the
Townsendites are determined to kill
the $1,200 ceiling on outside
They claim it “forces” people
(Some economists agree.)
And they say it’s unjust that
work cuts back your income.
But Congress is hearing the other
side as well—from organized labor.
The AFL-CIO social security direc-
tor, Nelson Cruikshank, says unions
think there’s a limit on how much
can be clipped from your weekly pay
check. Furthermore, the unions say,
raising the earnings ceiling would be
helpful if you were still able to work
—but suppose you weren’t?
A Little Extra Income

die. You’ll be doing the paying and,
later, you’ll be doing the receiving.
How you’re affected can be decided
by what happens in Congress now.
Social Security could come out with
a whole new face—less liberal, more
liberal, fewer restrictions, more re-
strictions.
About the only requirements now
are that you be covered by the pro-
And, of course, that you be
alive—although apparently everyone
doesn’t realize that. Recently the
Columbus, Ga., Social Security office
actually got a phone call from a
woman who said, “Does your office
pay death benefits? Several weeks
ago, I died during an operation.”
The astonished Social Security of-
ficial’s first question was: “Where
are you calling from?”
Fords cost less to buy!
No doubt about it! Model for model, Ford cars are the lowest
priced* of the low-price three. And don’t be fooled by those
“low prices” now being quoted for some “stripped down”
models in the medium-price field. Remember, a ’57 Ford
equipped the way most people want a car today—with auto-
matic transmission, heater and radio—costs hundreds of dol-
lars less than these medium-priced cars, similarly equipped.*
*Based on comparison of manufacturers’ suggested retail delivered prices
present payments. For just that rea-
son, a welfare worker suggested to
73-year-old Mrs. Frances DeBerry of
Louisville that she go on $64,000
Question as a Shakespeare expert;
she won $16,000. But for other re-
tired persons who can’t reach quiz
shows, the average check — $61 a
month for a single retired person,
$140 for a widow with children—
means barely getting along.
Fortunately, checks are climbing
steadily, since persons now retiring
have been covered for a longer pe-
riod. But to make checks come auto-
matically at 62 for women and 65 for
men would cost America—meaning
you—plenty. In 1957, for instance,
it would add $1.7 billion to the $7.7
billion now scheduled to be paid out.
Where could the money be gotten?
There are three suggested sources:
(1) the $23 billion Social Security
“nest egg”; (2) general funds from
Congress; (3) your pocketbook. In
the first two instances, the ultimate
effect almost certainly would be
higher taxes. In the third your im-
mediate salary deduction probably
would go up 1 percent. Today, you
and your employer each chip in 214
percent of your pay, up to $4,200 a
year. For the average worker, that
means about $1.82 a week. The in-
crease would make your share $2.25.
You may consider 40 to 50 cents
more a week a reasonable price for a
guaranteed income at 65. But oppo-
nents of the plan have other
ments.
For one thing, they think
Americans would rather work when
able. They point out that 4% mil-
lion persons over 65 work at least
part of the time. And labor partic-
ularly fears that in a business slow-
down, Social Security might tend to
push down wages. People might
work for lower pay, the unions feel,
because they had a basic pension in-
come.
Again, if you’re going to spend
more of your pay check on Social Se-
curity, one argument runs that you
could get a better bargain than just
making the payments automatic.
Suggestions include larger checks,
better benefits for widows and the
disabled, higher maximum payments
and hospitalization insurance for So-
cial Security beneficiaries.
Which of these many brainchildren
will Congress adopt? To some extent,
it will depend on which side shouts
loudest. If you want to join the
shouting, write your Congressman.
