Auto Science Advancing, But
Mostly in Experimental Models
By DAVID J. WILKIE
AP Automotive j Editor
DETROIT (fi - Thj auto indus
try currently is trying out more
advanced engineering! ideas than
ever before in its history but in f-Nothing Drastic
purely experimental model cars.
Before World War II most "ideas
of tomorrow" were tried out on the
test block; an engine was mounted
in a stock chassis for testing on
the proving grounds or conclusions
were reached on a mathematical
basis in the laboratories.
Now the auto makers are build
ing test cars wholly new from the
ground up. If they have a new
engine they want to try out they
- build a streamlined body to go with
it' They spend hundreds of thous
ands of dollars solely for testing
something new.
And they call the test cars
'laboratories on wheels."
Future competition; in the car
market may have special signifi
cance in this postwar development
The auto makers probably want to
be prepared to swing into the pro
duction of any radically designed
car on short notice.
Lake

Level Drops
SOAPLAKE m 1 Pumping ,30
cubic feet of water a minute out of
Soap Lake and 2,500 gallons a mi
nute out of wells south of the town
by the Bureau of Reclamation has
lowered the level of I the lake by
11 inches iir the last five weeks,
Ernest Fencl, Soap Lake city
clerk, reports.
At the end of the irrigation -.season
the bureau installed big pumps
in1 both Soap Lake and Lake Le
nore. Water is being emptied .into
.the West-Canal and allowed to run
out through the wasteways.
The bureau plans to drill four
more fresh water wells in Soap
Lake, Fencl said. Water from these
wells and from the two present
wells will be pumped into the ir
rigation system during the spring
and summer months. Engineers
hope that by draining off subsur
face excess the lake can be kept
at a normal level.
Tests are being run now on the
water in the lake itself, to deter
mine whether medicinal properties
of the health resort are being im
paired by the addition of fresh
water.
Bricker Plan
Compromise
Move Fails
WASHINGTON tf j A move to
effect a compromise on the squab
ble over the Bricker ' treaty-making
amendment failed Sunday night,
but the Senate's Republican lead
ership said it wasn't giving up
hope. 1
This was reported by Sen. -Ferguson
(R-Mich). chairman of the
GOP Policy Committee, after an:
hours-long conference with SenJ
Bricker (R-Ohio).' author of the
controversial legislation. - . ;
Asked if he had any success in
trying to work out a compromise,
Ferguson said: "I can't say I had,
but I doift consider the whole
matter closed." j
Ferguson said the Senate prob
ably would take up the amend
ment on Tuesday and "you never
know what will happen when de
bate starts. We might still be able
to work things out."
' Bricker could not be reached for
comment on the conference. I
Meanwhile, two senators on op
posite sides of the controversy
said the fight over the amendment
will leave no lasting political scars
on the Republican Party. j
Sens. Knowland I of California,
the GOP floor leader, and Dirk-
sen of Illinois, chairman of the
GOP Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee, forecast in I separate inter
views that the Republicans will
have forgotten their differences
before the November congression
al elections roll around.
Yet all precedent in the industry
is against bringing out anything
drastic on short notice. Usually it
uoesn t sell on a profitable basis.
! General Motors' Motorama now
showing in New York offers sec
eral striking examples of the post
war irena in experimental cars.
The gas turbine engined Firebird
is an outstanding instance. There
are other models, too. that are so
far ahead of their time nobody
saieiy can predict they ever will
reach the average motorist
Other car makers also have
arasucauy designed models on
their test tracks. They have such
features as extra high power out
put, unusual compression ratio en
gines or very finely engineered
control systems.
1 It has been suggested these cars
are valuable to the producers sole
ly because of their promotion an-
1eal. But their cost runs into huge
sums ot money.
Due to Competition
It probably is more nearly ac
curate to say they have been de
veloped for competitive reasons.
Each car maker wants the an
swers to all problems involved
when the time comes to further
refine his product
In the case of the turbine witrin
Firebird,' General Motors execu
tives say it will provide answers
to many problems - involved in
adapting the gas turbine enmne
to commercial uses.
Many engineers continue to in
sist the .gas, turbine engine car
eventually will be produced for
the average motorist . Some have
described GM's work with the
Firebird as the outstanding car
power development of the last half
century.
Some Pessimistic
But there are many who say
gas turbines never will be feasible
in conventional type passenger
cars. This group insists the possi
bilities of the conventional type
internal combustion gasoline en
gine still are far from exhausted.
They contend higher compres
sion ratio engines with higher qual
ity fuel are coming within the next
few years and will add greatly to
car engine efficiency. One leading
petroleum industry engineer has
said the refiners are about ready
to produce 98 octane gasoline
whenever the auto makers wilL de
liver the 10-to-l compression ratio
engines.
The car engine designers al
ready have topped the 8.5 to 1
compression ratio and are moving
steadily toward 10 to 1. Some in
dustry sources are guessing the
98 octane, 10-to-l compression ra
tio point will be reached within
the next three or four years.
There is a third group of engi
neers who say the next decade
will see atomic enerev harnessed
for use in conventional autos, side
tracking diesel. gasoline and gas
iurDine power plants.

the plan, to go into effect with
the next academic year, are the
California Institute of Technology,

Qaremont (Pomona. Claremont
Lewis and Clark, j Mills, Occidental.
Whitman and Reed College).
Dr. Sanders said two types of
awards will be 1 made one for
scholastic achivemcnt, an honor
requiring no application, and one
based on economic circumstances.
A student winning the scholastic
honor may also apply for a schol
arship grant if be needs it.
