Chevrolet Orders
Equipment To Make
Smaller Automobile
Detroit - (CPD - At least one
auto maker will be partly
tooled up for "trial run" pro
duction of an American small
car by the end of December,
according to auto industry
suppliers.
The men who supply ma
chine tools to the automobile
manufacturers reported that
the Chevrolet division of
General Motors already has
placed orders for equipment
to be used in production of a
small car. Chevrolet asked
for delivery of the equip
ment during December, they
said. ,
This Indicates Chevrolet
could kick off the 1960 model
year with its small car at a
date much earlier than had
been previously' reported.
These reports had said the
auto companies might intro
duce small cars in the fall of
1959. But the machine tool
suppliers said their orders in
dicated Chevrolet will not
wait that long.
Ford Plant Small Car
Ford also is getting ready
to turn out a small car, the
suppliers said. But it is not
as close to the production
stage as Chevrolet. Chrysler
seems to be making no over
tures toward the small car
field, apparently content to
let Its wealthier competitors
take the initial gamble.
Not even Chevrolet and
Ford are fully convinced yet
that an American small car
will be a success. But an
economist for one of the "Big
Three" said:
"It's beginning to look as
If we'll build the thing even
though we expect a flop." ,
Ford and Chevrolet are try
ing to keep costs low on the
"trial runs' of small cars by
reclaiming old machines from
stockpiles. Both plan to limit
initial production until the
small cars prove salesworthy.
Suppliers reported Chevro
let's small car engine lines
at Massena, N.Y., will be
tagged for production of
about 70 units per hour. Ford
plans production of about
150,000 units annually at its
Lorain, O., assembly plant,
they said.
Chevrolet's all - aluminum
engine will have six cylinders
in a horizontally-opposed po
sition, three on each side, a
system which is more effi
cient but less powerful. It
will be air cooled, eliminat
ing the need for a heavy
water jacket and further in
creasing economy.
Engine in Rear
On the Chevrolet the en
gine will be in the rear, but
the Ford will keep its in
front, the suppliers reported.
This means Chevrolet styl
ing will resemble the Renault
Dauphine while Ford will use
Thunderbird styling.
Both models, if they reach
the public, will be larger and
plusher than European small
cars but smaller and more
stripped down than current
American models.
The wheelbase of the Chev
rolet will be about 104 inches,
almost a foot and a half more
than the Dauphine, and Ford
will build on a 106-inch
wheelbase. Both will experi
ment with greatly simplified
two-speed transmissions.
Suppliers report that the
manufacturers are likely to
make their final decision on
whether to actually produce
the small cars after they get
the public's reaction to new
styling and some small econ
omy moves in the standard
1959 models.

play dumb.
Paula S. - I want to be
loved for what I am.
Barbara B. - I am 26, have
been married four years and
have two children. My sister
Is two years older, In an I am
and still single. I am very
eager to see her married.
Paula is a very superior
girl in looks, intelligence and
education. But I feel she
shows her superiority a little
too much and probably fright
ens men away.
I have tried to tell Paula
that it wouldn't hurt to play
dumb. After all, it is better
to make this sacrifice than to
remain single. Besides, Paula
Is too critical of others. She
won't even go -out with a man
who isn't wonderful looking

those are few and far be

Paula S. Everyone seems
to be ganging up on me, tell
ing me the same kind of thing
-play dumb, don t be so fussy
etc. I can't aeree at all.
I think marriage is a very
precious thing and if I have
to hide myself and pretend to
ha something I'm not, the
whole beauty of the relation
ship is gone. I want someone
to love me for what I am.

I try not to be overcritical
of people, but I can't help my
tastes. I find it very disagree
able to go out with men who
are not attractive and I lose
patience with those who are
silly or slow-mirided. I "think
it's better to be single than
to marry a dunce.
Th Council: As she states
her case, we think that Paula
is perfectly right. The ques
tion is, has she stated her case
correctly?-We doubt it.
When "everyone" tells
Paula to play dumb, they are
probably using the terms a
little loosely. They really
mean "stop holding your IQ
like a sword in front of you-
it terrifies people."
We don't believe mature,
Intelligent men favor dumb
girls, but we do think they
resent playing the foil to a
woman's mental swordplay.
It is worse than frightening.
It is usually terribly boring.
We do not think that Paula
Is really conceited about her
IQ or anything else. Actually,
she lacks self-confidence. Her
need for the "wonderful look
ing and terribly brainy" man
is a search for some glory
through which she can prove
her own worth.
In this frame of mind Paula
cannot possibly embark on
any successful marriage. Men
who want a complete and
happy relationship in marri
age will sense that Paula
wants to use them in some
way and will avoid her. A
man with outwardly desirable
characteristics, but with some
vital inner lack, could fall
into Paula's trap, but the re
sults are not likely to be satisfactory.
The answer for Paula is
not to play dumb or to give
up her judgment and marry
a dunce, but to use her in
telligence to uncover her own
deepest feelings, to recognize
that her own value comes
from within and to learn to
give something of herself to
others. She will then see that
others are nicer to look at
and listen to than she has
suspected.

The mountain beaver, or

Girl Helps Friend
To Recover Speech
Pietrasanta, Italy-dTD-After
14 years as a mute, a young
man here recently recovered
the power of speech through
a "miracle" worked by the
girl he loved.
The first words uttered by
22-year-old Mauro Genovesi,
who was struck dumb at the
age of eight when his fam
ily's home was destroyed in
an Allied bombing raid, were:
I have come back."
He spoke them to Maria
Ciambrelli, the girl who had
told him several hours before,
"I don't want to marry a
mute."
Maria wasn't being cruel.
Doctors had told her that
Mauro lost his ability to speak
because of a shock and that
another shock might give him
his voice back.
So she decided to supply
the shock, by rejecting her
sweetheart and telling him:
"When you can talk, come
back to me. I will be wait
ing." ,
of 16 inches, who likes to live
along the sides of gulches, or
even on the slopes of foothills
and ridges, provided he is
near running water. Further
more, the only part of the
world in which he is found
is the coastal areas of the
Pacific northwest, sometimes
as far south as San Francisco
Bay. He isn't known very far
east of the coastal ranges.
He isn't often seen by day.
His poor vision and acute
hearing make the night more
suited to his needs. So it is
then that he is most likely to
leave his runways to hunt
the vegetation on which he
feeds.
Sometimes, as many a farm'
er has learned, that includes
the produce of the truck
garden, but generally he is
content with young shoots,
buds and bark. He is extreme
ly industrious in the way he
gathers his food. He works at
it rapidly, as if time were far
too short. In fact, he is so
obsessed with the possibility
of starvation that he is for
ever gathering far more than
he can use.
Pushed Outside
That is why, if you ever
come across one of the war
rens in which he lives, you
are likely to find a pile of
decayed vegetable matter
heatied ud outside an exit
from a runway. He has push
ed it outside because it has
spoiled and is -no longer fit
for mountain beaver consump
tion.
Because a vast labyrinth of
tunnels sometimes connects
the homes of his colony, some
people think him a social ani
mal. His actions in captivity,
the surly way in which he
treats others of his kind, don't
indicate it. The most likely
explanation of his living in
warrens is simply that it is
the nlace where the easiest
digging is that is nearest to a
suitable food supply.
Though the Indians relish
ed his flesh as food and used
his fur for clothing, he has
not suffered so much in re
cent years from white men.
In some areas, he has even
increased enough to be re
garded as a pest.

Convicts Used To
Test Sunburn Pill
Tallahassee, Fla. (DPD
Convicts at the Florida State
Prison were used recently as
guinea pigs in an experiment
to determine if a new pill will
prevent sunburn.
All the convicts got out of
it was a partial tan and a few
dollars from Bristol-Myers,
which conducted the research
with approval of the State
Cabinet.
Dr. Gunther H. Frey, assist
ant medical director for Bristol-Myers,
said 12 inmate vol
unteers, admitted to the pris
on hospital for other diseases,
were used in the tests.
The company hoped to de
termine the efficacy oi an
oral sunburn prevention medi
cation, especially for those
with fair complexions.
Before giving its approval
for the project, the cabinet
was assured there was noth
ing in the drug that might be
harmful in any way.

Cradle To Grave Philosophy
Said Worrying Some Oil Men
Elmer Walzer
ed oil and
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York-(UPD-This cradle
to the grave philosophy is
worrying some oil men who
fear that one of these days
we'll lose the
s p e c u lative
urge needed
to gamble on
new oil dis
coveries. Her
bert B. Seel
ey, president
of Texam Oil
Corp., an in
depend ent,
non - integrat
gas producing
company, operating in Texas
and' California, admits he
does some worrying on this
score.
He isn't worrying about
his own energies, which are
overflowing as he goes back
and forth from the East Coast
to the West Coast where his
company presently is drilling
for oil in Hollywood not too
far from some of the movie
lots where oil is flowing.
"Since the oil industry,
more than any other indus
try, has been and is being
built by people willing to
gamble their money and time
to find oil, the main worry
in the industry is that men of
this caliber will not be avail
able in the future," he says.
"It is easy to see that the
trend today is toward the
philosophy of being taken
care of from the cradle to the
grave.
"This philosophy in many
respects has limited one's ob
jective as well as one's initia
tive, both being necessary at
tributes in the oil industry.
"Should this trend contin
ue, the oil industry has some
thing to worry about."
Only Worry
But that is about all the
Texam Oil president finds in
the worry list. He doesn't
thing there's too much com
petition from atomic energy,
which still faces many prob
lems and costwise doesn't rate
against oil for fuel.
And he finds no shortage
worries either. He likes to
answer this with a quote from
an American Petroleum Insti
tute booklet:
"We have found enough oil
in the last 58 years so that
today, in spite of our increas
ing use of oil, these reserves
are over ten times as great
as theyjwere in 1900., There
is no way of telling what
greater quantities are still to
be discovered."
He also notes that almost
from the birth of the oil in
dustry, the cry has been that
we are running out of oil.
So far these fears have not
been realized, he says, and
adds there is every prospect
that for many years to come
we shall continue to discover
new oil deposits at a much
greater rate than they are
taken from the ground.
He bases this prediction on
the fact that there are a great
many areas in the U.S. where
geologists believe oil may pos
sibly be found.
He believes the Middle
East situation can be resolved
when the injured feelings of
the parties concerned are
healed. His company is watch
ing progress on oil possibili
ties in Alaska but not doing
any leasing there at this time.
Noting the success of Tex
am Oil Corp., he believes that
the place of the small oil
company in the economy,
while it may be precarious at
times, is a definite asset to
the nation.
With the oil industry costs
what they are, particularly in
exploration, Seeley believes
that the small oil companies
may be charged in the future
with the major responsibility
of oil exploration while the,
majors do the marketing.
