'Save Gasoline' Drive Spreads
The Government's gasoline
saving campaign, launched on
the Eastern Seaboard when a
gas famine threatened, has made
motorists across the country gas
oline economy-conscious. Here is
how one automobile maker is
tying in with the drive.
Called the "car of the hour,"
because it operates on one-third
less gasoline than most cars on
the streets today, tne new auto
mobile is placarded with honors
Streamlined Sedanet Featured by Buick
at Washington, D. C, center of
the gasoline conservation drive.
Tne national emblem in tne
drive, "I'm Using One-Third
Less Gasoline," is pasted on the
windshield of a new, 1942 Nash
"600" by one of the gas conser
vation girls at the fuel saving
booth in the center of Washing
ton. These new Nash cars, which
go between 2S and 30 miles to
a gallon, are now making their
appearance all over the country.
Rome, Sept. 27. (P) Italy's
bread was ordered rationed to
day, starting next Wednesday,
and a group of measures was ap
proved by the cabinet to con
serve material, defend the lira
and pay for the war through
heavy taxation of profits.
The rationing was announced
after Premier Mussolini inform
ed the cabinet that the 1941
grain crop was insufficient for
the country's needs.
Most of the measures revised
reinforced previous decrees in
tended to discourage Italians
from investing their cash in pro
perty or industrial securities
rather than government bonds
with which Italy is paying for
the war.

Fords Previewed by
Dealers at Oakland,
California Meeting
Seven hundred Ford dealers
and salesmen from all parts of
the Richmond branch territory
gathered at the Oakland Civic
auditorium Tuesday for the pur
pose of viewing the new 1942
Ford lines of motor cars the
Ford six. Ford V-8, Mercury.
Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln.
This was the largest automo
bile dealer meeting held so far
this season in the northern Cali
fornia territory, according to C.
A. Winetrout, Jr., manager of
the Crater Lake Motors, local
Ford dealer, who attended the
bay city gathering.
The meeting was called by C.
R. Mullan, manager of the Rich
mond branch of the Ford Motor
company, who has Just returned
from a visit to Dearborn and a
conference with Ford Motor
company sales executives.
The dealers were given a pre
view of the new 1942 Ford, Mer
cury and Lincoln cars which will
be announced and put on dis
play at dealer showrooms
throughout northern California
in the very near future. Al
though full details regarding the
new models will not be dis
closed until the public presenta
tion, automobile editors who at
tended the press preview, held
a day in advance of the dealer
meeting, declared all three lines
feature distinctive new styling
and are wider, lower and more
powerful.
A number of engineering
changes have been made which
produce a performance with
greater operating economy and
the riding qualities of all three
cars have been still further im
proved, and of special Interest
to the public is the fact that the
Ford line offers a Ford six as
well as a Ford V-8.
Mr. Mullan in talking to the
dealers, declared that the 1942
cars were the finest the Ford
Motor company has ever manu
factured. He distributed to the
newspapermen an interview
with R. H. McCarroll, chief
metallurgist, in which Mr. Mc
Carroll explains with specific
examples the means used by the
company to conserve metals vital
to defense and at the same time
to produce automobiles which
are nevertheless superior to
those made when the manufac
turers had free access to ma
terials of all kinds. The metal
lurgist said that the principal
effect of the changes was an In
crease In the manufacturing cost,
since some of the materials now
used were more difficult to fab
ricate.
In the talk with newspaper
men at the press preview, Mr.
Mullan told of the defense pro
