Oil Companies Urge
New Way to Measure
Miles Per Gallon
Tulsa, Okla. -(UPD- One of
the first questions the owner
of a new car is likely to be
asked is:
"How many miles does she
get to the gallon?"
Because of today's bigger,
heavier and more powerful
cars, the answer is likely
to grow smaller every year,
So much so that the oil in
dustry is beginning to ask the
public to switch to what it
calls a more "accurate for
mula than miles-per-gallon:
ton-miles per gallon.
Depends on Design
Gasoline mileage in any
car depends on its design, its
maintenance and where or
how it is operated. Driving
fast or under poor road condi
tions can reduce mileage, just
as can driving in mountain
ous or stop-and-go territory
"Ton-mile Der gallon" is
the distance that one gallon
of gasoline can move one ton
of automobile.
The Ethyl Corporation
which makes the anti-knock
compound in "premium gas
olines-wants the public to
adopt the new yardstick be
cause it feels it is fairer to all
concerned. It points out that
today's automobile could not
be expected to get the same
gasoline mileage as the Mod
el T Ford when the Model T
weighed less than 1,700
pounds while its 1958 coun
terpart tips the scales at 3,400
pounds.
It Looks Better
The new yardstick makes
things look better, from the
standpoint of the gasoline.
Back in 1930, oilmen say, one
gallon of gasoline could move
one ton of 1930 auto at an
average of 29 miles at 40-
mph.
By 1957, one gallon could
move one ton ' of car nearly
44 miles at the same speed.
That's a 52 per cent improve
ment, and that's the way the
gasoline folks like to see it
measured.
So if the motorist who
drives a new car is reluctant
to answer the question about
his gas mileage, he can pro
claim, "I get more ton-miles
to the gallon than ever be
fore." The oil companies hope he
will.
EPIDEMIC CONTINUES
Tokyo -(LTD The sleeping
sickness epidemic sweeping
the Republic of Korea and
Japan claimed 33 more vic
tims today, raising the unof
ficial death toll to 2,283.
16 Persons Hurt
As Train Derailed
Minneapolis, Minn. (UPD -Nine
cars of the Soo Line's
"Winnipeger" passenger train
jumped the track west of Min
neapolis Monday night, injur
ing 16 persons.
The crash happened near
the community of Ham el, 16
miles west of Minneapolis.
Two ambulances and sheriff's
cars shuttled the injured to
North Memorial Hospital at
nearby Robinsdale, Minn.
All of the injured were
treated and released except
one, who was reported in fair
condition.
The first six cars of the
train were mail and baggage
cars and only three of the de
railed cars carried passengers.
The train was traveling at
high speed and the jolt of the
derailment telescoped several
of the mail and baggage cars.
The train derailed along a
stretch of level track wjiich
parallels a highway. The en
gine and cars left the roadbed
and plunged into tall grass
along the side of the track.
The engine and five cars over
turned. Six other passenger cars re
mained on the track and were
pulled from the scene by a
switch engine sent from Min
neapolis. Soo Line officials said the
cause of the crash was not im
mediately determined.
Wiley Smith Ruled

Paul Butler Charges
Serious Violation
Of Campaign Code
Washington-(UPD-Democratic
National Chairman Paul M.
Butler Monday night called on
the Fair Campaign Practices
Committee to take action on a
"serious violation of the fair
campaign practices code" aris
ing out of the current Califor
nia election campaign.
Butler also called on Meade
Alcorn, his Republican coun
terpart, to "repudiate the vi
cious and fraudulent cam
paign technique" that Butler
said was instigated on behalf
of the GOP in California.
Butler said the "fraudulent
campaign technique" was in
stigated in a. pamphlet by Jo
seph P. Kamp, who has served
jail sentences for contempt of
Congress for refusing to list
contributors to his Constitu
tional Education League.
lhe iNew YorK limes re
ported the pamphlet by Kamp
was supported by rich Repub
licans to help the candidacy
of Sen. William F. Knowland
(R-Calif.). Knowland is retir
ing from the Senate to run as
Republican candidate for gov
ernor against Democrat At
torney General Edmund G.
Brown.
Reuther Attacked
The pamphlet was said to
have attacked Walter Reuther,
United Auto Workers presi
dent. Butler wrote Alcorn that
"Your silence on this matter
Is That So?
By OLGA BURNS
If the croaking of frogs
keeps you awake when you're
in the country, don't think
it's just because of the press
of modern living.
People have been complain
ing about it for centuries.
Take the case of the lords and
ladies of medieval France and
England. Sometimes on sum
mer nights the croaking frogs
in the castle moats got on
their nerves so they would
order out the tired serfs to
silence them-
For centuries they did it by
flailing the water and banks
with sticks. Finally some clev
er Frenchman discovered that
burning camphor thrown on
the water would do an even
better jobs, arid thereafter the
serfs got some sleep, too.
Much the same condition
existed in the days of ancient
Rome. According to Pliny,
when it was found the frogs
on the island of Serpho were
mute, there was a rush to
import them, apparently on
the assumption they would
displace the noisy ones. How
ever, once on shipboard, the
Serpho frogs developed tre
mendous voices and so were
promptly shipped home.
Since frogs work busily
throughout the day feeding on
insects, some people wonder
why they burst into chorus
at sundow. The main reason
probably is they are glad the
sun is gone. Sunlight dries
out their skins, therefore
night life is pleasanter for
them.
Frogs, which regard even
mice and small birds as good
eating, are considered delici
ous by many larger creatures,
especially man who in our
country hunts him with hook,
spear or bullet.
More Gracious Way
In France, however,- they
have a far more gracious way.
The Frenchman makes the
frogs come to him. The tech
nique is simple.
Put a piece of plain white
paper near the edge of the
watef On it place a live
healthy frog- Over the frog set
a bell or jar of clear glass.
Put a rock on top of the jar
so the frong can't upset it.
Then quietly retreat into the
bushes.
When the prisoner calls for
help, frogs come swarming in
from all around. As soon as
a satisfactory number have
gathered about the bell, ad
vance quietly from the bush
es and slip a long-handled net
over the frogs one by one
but very quietly.

can only mean that you con
done and that your party in
tends to employ the smear
tactics of Kamp." He said
Kamp, who he described as "a
notorious ex-convict and
smear artist," has "attempted
to smear every president since
Franklin D. Roosevelt . . . and
is credited with instigating
the Communist smear tech
niques which led to the recent
shameful era in American po
litical life."
He wrote Charles P. Taft,
chairman of the Fair Practices
Committee, that "The fact that
the Republican party financi
ally supports and encourages
this kind of smear campaign
makes it imperative that some
action be taken."
According to the Times, Mrs.
Helen Knowland, wife of the
senator, endorsed the pamph
let and distributed "about
500" copies. She said she
stopped when her husband no
ticed the pamphlets did not
have a union label.
Brown accused Knowland of
having been caught "doing
business with elements that
would not stop at imposing a
Fascist dictatorship over the
American people."
In Los Angeles, Knowland
denied endorsing the pamph
let. He said he did not know
Kamp and said the charges
made against him in connec
tion with the pamphlet con
stituted a "red herring."
Knowland said lie under
stood his wife has sent for
some material that "might be
of interest to the California
campaign" but said he did not
believe his wife had ever met
Kamp.
Unions Said Failing
To Pay Tax in Full
Portland -(UPD- The Multno
mah County Labor Council
Monday night rapped the
knuckles of some locals they
said failed to pay their per
capita tax on full member
ship. This is causing the coun
cil to operate in the red, said
trustees.
Eugene Watson, a trustee,
said the council has shown
a deficit of several hundred
dollars or more in each month
since May. He said when the
AFL and CIO merged in Mult
nomah county the per capita
tax was reduced to four cents
from five cents on the theory
that all locals would pay for
their full membership.
Watson said that if some
thing weren't done the rate
would have to be raised.
