It has a suave new body, ingenious new frame, 150 new features in its chassis alone. It's so low, you feel inches taller. And there's headroom, legroom, foot room galore. But what you can't see what you simply have to feel for yourself is what happens when you take this beauty to the road. Any road. . We came up with a new : kind of steering, new "nested" torque-tube ride, new braking that's smoother, surer, more powerful. We poured our engineering skills into a completely new V8 engine with the "power-pack" built right in, at no extra cost a fire-breather, for fair. And we capped the climax by building a new Variable Pitch Dynaflow that can't be beat for snap, sparkle, smoothness. Granted, you've heard about dream cars, and maybe seen a few at Auto Shows. But here's the first honest' to-greatness dream car to drive! You. can afford a Buick if you can afford any new car.

Holmes signed Senate Bill 253, liberalizing war veterans' en titlement to state educational aid benefits. The amendment removes the current requirements that Ko rean veterans must have served in the Korean theater during the conflict there in order to receive state educational aid. It also re duces from six to three months the period of active duty needed to qualify for the benefit, mak ing this requirement conform with other state and federal ( benefits. Salem (U.R) The House de feated 31-27 a bill that would have removed the requirement that consent for a blood-alcohol test be written. The test is used to determine the drunkenness of drivers. Rep. Berkely Lent, Portland Republican, argued that the pro vision that consent be in writ ing was valuable and should be retained as a personal protec tion. House bill 632 would have required only oral consent to the test. Salem (U.R) A $1,100,000 budget requested by the Ore gon Centennial Commission was discussed before a joint ways and means subcommittee here today and the subcommittee agreed to ask for not less than $850,000 to celebrate Oregon's 100th birthday in 1959.

William Grenfell Jr., Portland Democrat, said the bonds would finance increases in veterans farm and home loans approved by the current Legislature. gjsi CIMU CEWUir SWEA lee Tour Authorized Buleh 2aler Briefs Salem (U.R) Senate Bill 411 permitting emergency excuse of high school pupils with the okay of the principal passed the House and went to the governor.
