Conferees Agree
On Reserve Bill
Washington U.R) Sen
ate-House conferees agreed ten
tatively today on a compromise
military reserve bill.
Conferees said only minor dif
ferences remain to be worked
out between versions passed by
the House and Senate. They pre
dicted final approval tomorrow.
The compromise would:
1. Make reserve service com
pulsory only for men entering
the services after enactment of
the bill. The administration
wanted the compulsion applied
to everyone entering the services
since July, 1953.
2. Reduce the total military
obligation of servicemen in the
future from the present eight
years to six. Thus a man drafted
for two years would have to
spend only four years in the re
serves. The administration op
posed any reduction.
3. Provide incentives for buil
ding up the reserves with vol
unteers in the next two years.
These incentives were not made
public. But the conferees knock
ed out a bonus proposal which
had been approved by the Senate.

Plymouth, the biggest cwr oj the low-price 3,
gives you the smoothest ride of the low-price 31
If you appreciate tie comfort and smooth ride
of abig car, Plymouth is just the car for you!
This 17-foot beauty outshines the other low
price cars on these counts, just as it does in
beauty, in size, in roominess, and in visibility.
With either the thrifty 6-cy Under PowerFlow
117 or the high-flying Hy-Fire V-8, Plymouth
conquers the road so masterfully you're apt to
forget it's a low-price car.
Greater length for smoother rides Because
Plymouth is much longer and larger than other
low-price cars, it gives you the smoother,
steadier ride that only a big car can give.
. New shock abeorber mounts for more direct
control t Plymouth's famous Onflow "shocks,"
now longer than' ever before, are mounted
inside the front coil springs for1 direct 100
pillowing action. And new non-parallel control
arms minimize body .tilt and give you a more
balanced ride. ' !
Wider rear springs for greater stability I
Plymouth's rear springs angle-mounted for
extra rigidity have been widened to a full 2
inches (wider, than the rear, springs of either
of the "other 2" ears). This means far more
twist resistance and less sidesway on curves.
New steering gear for easier handling f
Plymouth's new low-friction steering gear,
teamed with higher new steering ratios, gives .
you the easiest handling this side of Plymouth
Power Steering. The wider front tread keeps
the ear more nearly level when turning.
WHY PAY UP TO $500 MORE FOR A
CAR SMALLER THAN PLYMOUTH?
Don't be fooled by the claims of medium-price can that
they cost practically the same as Plymouth. When you
compare price tag, yeull find that, medal for medal,
Plymouth sells for much, much less, and gives you mora
car for your meneyl

Portland (U.R) A 40-year-old

ting some 42 home burglaries in
east Portland within a month.

whose home had been burglar
ized. Lazar said he arrived in Port
land by bus June 8 and that
the burglaries began soon after
wards, according to Capt.
