' ' . The cars feature restyled ex teriors, an entirely new and ex clusive turbo-drive transmission and major 'chassis Innovations. A new horizontal grille bar behind the front -bumpers, and a new gold Lincoln crest create distinctive ornament. The forward-thrust theme of the cars is highlighted by the new raked headlights. 4--Longer Panel The rear Quarter panel is eight inches longer than in pre vious models, and features an unusual canted taillight assem bly, which compliments . the headlight treatment. Twin ' ex hausts are incorporated into the rear bumper.. ? . ' With the new transmission and more powerful engine,' the rear axle ratio has been reduced, permitting further improvement in fuel economy. , , Riding comfort has been im proved by .mounting rear shock absorbers more nearly horizon tally, giving more lateral con trol. The mechanical leverage of the power-braking system has been increased, improving op erations under power off conditions. The new Lincoln engine is the first in its field to have a new 18 millimeter conical seat . spark plug, which provides a wider heat range and, with a larger air gap r between the insulator and the outside shell, reduces the possibility of spark, plug fouling. " . Major changes have 'been made in material and construc tion of many of the engine com ponents, and the cylinder head, valve and gasket life have, been prolonged by revising the cylin der head water jackets to ob tain, more iinif orm metal temp eratures through better circula tion in the cooling systemVr Fluid Said Taken From Sen. McCarthy's Injured Right Elbow Washington (U.R) The Beth- seda Nsfval Hospital announced today "a small amount of fluid" has been removed from Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's injured right elbow via hypodermic needle but said "this is not con sidered technically to be an op eration." - The hospital statement was issued after a photographer who visited McCarthy's room yester day quoted the senator as saying that doctors . had "operated on the elbow to take out pieces of glass." ' - - . - The photographer, Al Muto of International News Pictures, was admitted to McCarthy's hospital room yesterday as a "pool", rep resentative to . see McCarthy since the senator entered the hospital last week for treatment of. bursitis which was said to have resulted from banging his right elbow against a glass top table while shaking hands with admirers. , Ak for Clarification The report that McCarthy had undergone an "operation" drew from a hospital spokesman last night the brief statement that "no surgical operative procedue" had been performed on the sena tor. ;-- The statement seemed to leave open the possibility .that doctors had probed the elbow for pieces of glass but that they did not re gard this as a "surgical proce dure." k ' ' . In response' to requests for further details and clarification, the hospital's executive office today issued the following state ment: "Sen.-McCarthy continues to show improvement on Monday, a small amount of fluid was re moved from the bursa of his right elbow which is filled with a fluid which, helps to prevent friction in , movements of the joint. . Recognised Treatment Hospital aides said that draw ing out some of this fluid with a hypodermic needle is a recog nized treatment for bursitis, which is a condition in which the bursa becomes inflamed from a blow or other cause. . BAD EXAMPLE Thompsonville, Conn, -i- (U.R) Police reported that Robert S. Johnson became sO excited while driving behind his broth er, Chester, when the latter struck a pole that his automo bile also went out .of control and smacked another pole. ' One photograph "of McCarthy taken Monday showed him in bed with his right arm swathed in bandages which extended from his waist to his armpit. His first bedside report came amid these other developments: Air Time Denied 1. NBC Monday night rejected McCarthy's request for 15 min utes of television time Thanks giving Day to answer the cen sure charges against him. It gave no reasons. McCarthy had no comment either on the nature of his request or his reaction to the rejection. 2. A McCarthy supporter said that in a bid for votes the latest censure compromise formula has been chdhged to eliminate any praise of McCarthy. He also reported that McCarthy's name has been dropped since sOme of his supporters refused to- go along him any compromise con taining criticism of the Wiscon sin Republican. ' 3 "Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R-Ind.) predicted that a move to censure McCarthy for his attacks on the Senate censure committee will fail. He also criti cized Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) for expressing "grave suspicions" that McCarthy's ill ness is part of an effort to pre vent a censure vote. .The most beautiful and perfect, way to say you're thankful . . . . to those you love at home ... to your hostess ... to shut-ins . . to friends ... to your church Corsages, centerpieces, fresh cut .flowers, full. blooming plants : Phone 3-1 733 We send Thanksgiving FLOWERS-BY-WIRE - Anywhere.
