wide open sped toward the scene
ef a train crash Tuesday, min
utes before the accident hap
pened. Station masters at two stations
about-50 miles from here real
ized they had sent two freight
trains heading toward each other
on the same track but were pow
erless to stop them.
So they called for ambulances
and awaited the crash.
One man was hospitalized with
minor head injuries but every

Eleanor White pulled in her
horns a little when the reporter
went out and brought back a
bouquet of violets. No thorns. J
Rep. James C. Wright Jr. of
Texas took his young son, Jimmy
III, and a little chum, to Mount
Vernon to have a look at George
Washington's home. The kids
somehow disappeared and when
the Democratic law-giver finally
collared them, Jimmy was all ex
cited. "Gee, dad," the lad said, "We
found a wonderful cave out there
in the woods."
"How about this place where
Washington slept?" Dad said.
'This is education."
"Shucks," said the kid, "We
can see a house anywhere even
in Texas."
The deputy assistant secretary
of public affairs for the Defense
Department dropped into the
press rooms at the Pentagon the
other day and was shocked at
what he saw. D. Walter Swan
was indeed in a tizzy. "These
dirty desks have got to go. Look
at this litter," he said. The re
porters in the room were as
polite as a newsman could be
under the circumstances, but
made it clear that if Swan so
much as touched one bit of what
looked like trash well. One
reporter got his back up and
told the deputy assistant: "Can't
you see this stuff is classified?"
The "inspector" laughed, got
the point, and left quickly.

Brazil, Guatemala, the Solomons,
the Fiji Islands, Europe and the
Near East.

...with the sweetheart of the low-price 3
Biggest of the low-price S! Plymouth is much
bigger than the "other 2" low-price cars. You
get more beauty outside,- more roominess and
comfort inside, more trunk space, plus the only
truly big ear ride in the lowest-price field.
Most economical of the low-price 3 !
Plymouth's fast-stepping new 6-cylinder Power
Flow 117 is a joy to drive, and own. Its exclu
sive Chrome-Sealed Action locks in power to give
you peak performance for extra thousands of
miles at rock-bottom cost
Greatest vision of the low-price 3 ! Plymouth's
new Full-View windshield, with cornerposts grace
fully swept back both top and bottom, gives you
the widest, safest vision of any low-price car.
Newest power features! Plymouth alone offer
full-time Power Steering, and all the other energy
saving power assists (at such low cost they'll
hardly affect your monthly payments!). And
you get many features that other low-price can
don't have.
Come in and drive this big beauty today I
Why pay up to $500 more for a ear
smaller than Plymouth ?' Don't be fooled by
the claims ef medium-price care that they cost practically
the tame as Plymouth. When you compare price tags,
you'll find that, model for model, Plymouth sells for much,
much lets, and gives you more car for your money 1
