Hix face ix drawn.
Hix
years now begin to show, but
the voice, its ring, itx mo
notonoua stability, lets one
know that life is just be
ginning.
After what may have been
one of the more crucial tests
of his spirit, his oft time
questioned principles, Kalph
II. Metcalfe is now reborn,
running at one of the highest
popular ,>eaks of his public
career. Not since he faced
the H itler Olympics has his
spirit been so tested.
He
eagerly talks of his recent
lib e ra tio n from Chicago's
Mayor Daley.
A sparkle
appears in his aging dulled
eyes as he reveals the par
ticulars of his fight with the
City of Chicago for real
change in police conduct and
racial composition.
"Amid rising outcries of
police curruption and bru
tality. I could not call myself
a man, maintain my dignity,
and allow my people to be
attacked and mercilessly per
secuted by our city police. I
saw my mission and it wax
clear how I should react."
He sighs. He looks as if he
has not really recovered from
the long, near slave like or
deal of being a Chicago
Daley functionary. Although
compromise is the life of a
leader, he has decided that
here is the place he would
have to stop and be counted,
and here and now he shall
have to cast his lot.

only 30 wide
many pieces gouged from
him have weakened and lined
that once taut and sinewy
body, He still runs a mile
every morning, still watches
his diet. Hut at the age of
sixty three, he seems old
beyond his years.
When asked about his de
veloping re la tio n sh ip w ith
younger members of the
Congressional Black Caucus,
he reflects and says, "It's
changing." "These younger
guys don't have machines to
feed. It appears that they all
start from scratch at every
election. For me, a machine
enables me to keep in touch
with people. Any time Daley
calls me in to talk, I tell him
no deals until I talk to my
people. You see, Daley no
longer controls my wards."
In his last election bid in
1972, Metcalfe pulled a re
sounding 98% of the vote.
No other member of the
Black Caucus has come that
close. This feat is even more
amazing considering that al
though he was endorsed by
the Daley machine, Metcalfe
refused to bark the Daley
city wide slate of candidates.
Metcalfe feels his future as
the Representative of Chi
rago's 1st Congressional Dis
trict is very bright. He feels
almost unbeatable. With his
evolution as a new states
man politician, an apparent
real change in his attitudes
about his people, his voters
and his political role has
emerged.

"Senator Parkwood’s stale
ment that your rampaign
limitation law will put a
'crimp on federal business' is
pure hogwash.
W hat he
means is that it will put a
crimp on his practice of ram
patgning for public office at
public expense. As a mem
ber of the Oregon legislature
Parkw ood probably spent
more state money in mailing
out newsletters to voters
than any legislator before or
since. Now as a U.S. Sena
tor he is flooding the mails
with newsletters and ques
tionnaires to occupants. At
our expense, he sends out
540,000 at a time
at a
cost to the taxpayers of be
tween $27,00 and $32,000 a
clip Nothing in the law pre
vents the mailing of press
releases or personal contacts.
He ran still make these ex
pensive mass mailings, but
they are included in the
overall limitation if they are
made after he becomes a
declared candidate.
Like
every other statewide ran
didate, he can still spend
$180.000 during each pri
mary and general election
40 cents per voter. That's
enough money for any cam
paign and we ran get along
without free recipes from the

Three Rules for Maximum Tire Life
Each year, American car
owners spend m illions of
dollars replacing auto tires
which were not structurally
defective and which should
not have worn as quickly as
they did, according to the
Department ol Transporta
tion I DDT).
DOT's Three Buies for
Maximum Tire Lite explains
how overloading, undennfla
lion or overinflalion decreases
the life of a tire; how to use
the data given on tires for
longer service; and how to
avoid such problems as blow
outs, uneven wear, and flat
spots. The nine page booklet
also includes 12 general tips
for longer tire life, topics of
Three Buies for Maximum
Tire Life may be ordered for
25c each from Consumer
Product Information, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009, or purchased
at Federal Information Cen
ters located throughout the
country.
Briefly, the three basic
rules of tire care are:
I. Don't overload, overin
flate or underinflate tires.
A ir pressure permits tires to
stand up straight to carry
their load.
L'nderinflated
tires wear out much faster
than those with the correct
"stand up" pressure.
It
takes very few miles with
low pressure to weaken tires
inside
in the sidewalls,
under the tread, and in the
bead areas.
Overinflation
causes tires to wear quickly
along the center line of the
Ire« ,.,
Overloading can have the
same effect as underinflation.
If you put enough load on a
tire to make it "squat down"
on its haunches, the tire
flattens out just as it would
with too little pressure.
2. Know how much pres
sure and how great a load
your tires will carry in order
to avoid overloading, over
inflation or underinflation.
You will find on every tire
its pressure/load maximums.
For example, a tire which
has printed on its side M AX
LOAD 1800 LBS / 32 PSI
M A X PRES,” will carry no
more than 1800 pounds of
weight and will stand no
more than 32 pounds per
square inch of air pressure.
Your owner's manual will tell
you proper pressure for nor
mal loads.
2.
Drive for maximum
tread life. High speed starts,
skidding, and fast d rr ing
over rough road surfaces
take miles off your tire's
tread life. For maximum tire
d ie
Always give new tires a
"run in" period, driving no
more than 60 miles per hour
for the first 50 miles.
Ex
cessive heat build up
particularly in new tires
can cause separation of the
rubber tread from the cord
in the body of the tire.
Separation may cause the
tire to throw part of its
tread and eventually blow
out.
Cook accuses Packwood
Senator Vern Cook com
mended A tto rn e y G en eral
l,ec Johnson's legal opinion
which advised Secretary of
State Clay Myers that ran
didates for office, whether
state or federal, who send
out unsolicited mailings, m utt
include the reasonable value
of the mailing as a campaign
cost under the 1973 law
limiting campaign expendi
tures.
Senator Cook, noting that
as a member of the Senate
E lections C o m m itte e, he
authored this part of the law,
based upon his experience as
a candidate for Congress
against Wendall W yatt in
1970, said that he was not
surprised that Senator Pack
wood took exception to that
provision. Parkwood earlier
questioned the application of
the slate rampaign expendi
tures law to federal offices,
according to Cook.
Senator Cook stated:
Thurvi.iv. (h io in r I*. 197.1
Every 6,000 miles rotate
the tire s , including the
spare, to a new position on
the car. Your owner's man
ual should have a chart to
show th e re c o m m e n d e d
changes.
Scraping the tires when
you turn a corner or forcing
them against the curb can be
murder on the tires. If you
feel the curb when parking,
pull away and try again.
When storing summer or
show tires, store them flat in
a cool, dry place, away from
oil or grease and electrical
motors.
Oil tends to rot
rubber and motors give off
ozone, which weakens the
rubber.
