Debate on the legislation in rp. verse President Eisenhower's flex ible price program had been scheduled tentatively to start to morrow. Some Republican onoonents snid the postponement meant the Dem ocrats were "fearful of the out come and wanted more time to build up a farm-labor alliance in support of the measure. Legislative Bottleneck Democrats denied that. Thev said the delav was caused hv overnight development of a legis lative bottleneck. House Democratic Whin Cart Albert of Oklahoma told a report er "We could oass it as easily now as later." Chairman Harold D. Coolev D-N Mexl of the House Agriculture Committee agreed. But he said that delay will give the Democrats time to line up a 'bigger majority" In support of the bill. Rep. R. e. Harrison (R-Neb), who backed the administration's fight last year to kill the rimd price support program and estab- iisn a tiexmte plan, said the delay is 'good news." Statehood Hearings it would indicate to mp that the Democrats are fearful of the outcome," he told a reporter. The bill had been sehpdnlprt fnr debate tomorrow and Wednesday on the assumption that the Rules Committee woul clear it for the floor. But Cooley said he learned the committee would be tied un with statehood hearings. - Rather than try to crowd the farm bill into next week's busy floor schedule, he said, he dnei. ided to put action off until after the taster recess which ends April 13. KtlHrfittc Klttmort Meanwhile. Coolev and other Democratic farm leaders began a campaign to build up 'grass roots" support behind the bill. They planned to mail out to farm leaders throughout the coun try a 10-page pamphlet setting forth the stand taken by organized labor in support of the bill. Want to Live To Be 150?

Take up total abstinence and stick to regular meal-times. But if you live in the Western world there really isn't much hope for you.

He Gets 25 Miles to Gallon Of Water With Steam Auto By CARL KIFKltT United Press Staff Correspondent MADISON, Wis.. CUP) -Charles Keen boasted today his modern steam-powered automobile gets "25 miles to the gallon of water" and has so much power he's afraid to open it up on the road. The neat little snort coupe, which he calls a "keen steamliner," has no exhaust and doesn't make any noise, yet has so much pickup that when he steps on the accelerator it just about jumps." All of this and speed, too. Keen said he had never had the courage to shove the accelerator all the way down, but he has driven it 80 miles per, hour with only partial povver. The uncanny silence is the thing that amazes most viewers. He said the silence comes from the fact that the engine has no exhaust. All "Bugs" Are Out The hand-built steam car has cost Keen, owner of a Madison die and stamping business, uixiut J.1 years and $100,900 to develop. He said he has finally licked all the "bugs" in the vehicle, "but I sure did a lot of work to get them out." A steam boiler of his own de- ptranus of pressure 33 secosws after he starts it. The steam drives a two-cylimler Keen-designed en gisie which is the eqivalent of an eight-cylisuler gasoline engine be cause the pistons datt't have to make n special stroke to extents! the burned fuel. Every stroke is a power stroke. The steam returns to the con cierer, which is located where the rauiator is in a regular ear, and it becomes water again. Then the wafer is turned back into steam and the process is repeated all over again. Kim On Anything Water is boiled by means of a tranter, which can be run on kero sene, diesel oil, paint thinner, fur nace oil, or even gasoline. In fact, it will run ou anything combusti ble, "itteiiKlmg moonshine whis ky," Keen said. He saitt his 10-galton tank of water is enough to last 250 miles and he gets 15 to 16 miles per gallon of low-cost fuel. Unlike the old Stanley Steamer, the Kern steamliner takes only 35 seconds to get up steam. The Stanley took 20 to 30 minutes, ami Rise is Noted NEW YORK (UP) Ameri cans will ase enough toothpaste this year to make a dentifrice ribbon that would stretch to the moon four times. According to estimates of (he Collapsible Tube Manufacturers Council, about half of fee billion collapsible metal tubes which will be used this year in the United Mates will go for toothpastes. The council figures some 91S.B0O miles of these tubes. sometimes .plotted. "The danger of an explosion Is noiw?xisiera m mis ear," Keen said. No Shift, No Clutch There is no gear shift and no clutch. When the accelerator is pushed, live steam is fed into the engine instead of more gas as in the intermit combustion type en gine. To back up, a lever is putted which merely reverses the engine. It will go just as fast backward as it will forward, which is somcthincr to think about. Maintenance is no problem. Keen figured the car could rati 200,008 miles without a major overhaul. He has aireadv rfrtvers ti 40.MK! miles without any trouble. Keen himself doesn't pet atf steamed up over his car. He said tt s not super, not colossal, just a nice automobile to drive," ( r s . fix?

TIDE WATER ASSOCIATED OIL COMPANY Why Scrap Free n j-i- umpeirao h theproittction of Natural Gas or any other product? Natural gas comes to most consumers through interstate pipelines and local utility 8yv team. They have franchises from state sr local bodies, and have long been regulated. The producers who find the gas hays BP been remlaini heesmutt rns f Kara K HAA them compete vigorously and free competi tion fa the best of aS price controls. Yet these producers have recently beea singled out for Federal controls and pris fixing. This is a step without peacetime precedent to price-fix a consumer product ai its source. It is a step that deeply disturbs many Americans, including the undemgaed com" mittee. , They beiieve the proposed controls ara against the public interest and am benefit no one. They believe the issue goes far beyond gas. It goes to the roots of America' greatness. They believe the controls plan is unwise for many reasons. It is Unnecessary because g have tripled is sixteen years. And coeta to consumers have risen a nation-wide average of only one-eleventh as much as the coat of living. It IS DangerOUS became it could easily be the first step toward Federal controls on coal or oil or lumber or grain or your it is Unfair because it singles out one competitive industry for each controls. It IS Shortsighted because it stifles the bold and risky exploring that's seeded to assure adequate supplies.
