Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
"DOB HOPE, asked what had induced him to add a television
U show to all his other chores, explained. "They offered me
$40,000 a show. This kind of money interested me. After all, I
used to work for S5 a nicht.
So I told them the price was
550,000 and they said all
right That's when I knew
TV was for me!"
Paul de Kruif, distin

rural checkers tourney last

trounced by Farmer Haw

line for the event was: "De
Farmer Takes De Kruif.

Ford Assembles Model T
On Golden Anniversary
Of First 'Tin Lizzie'
. Mahwah, JO.-TOPD-Ford Mo
tor Co. turned out what un
doubtedly will be the last
Model T ever assembled today
to commemorate the golden
anniversary of the first "Tin
Lizzie."
The 1909 Model T rolls off
the assembly line at Ford's as
sembly plant here inter-
spersed between two bright
and shining 1959 models.
Immediately . afterward the
Model T, the world's first
mass production automobile
and an American symbol of
frugal operation, will partici
pate in an economy contest
with one of the 1959 Fords.
13 Miles Par Gallon
Air Force Offers
Anti-Collision Plan
San Bernardino, Calif. -(UPD
-The Air Force proposed . a
four-point plan Wednesday
for reducing the number of
air collisions.
The plan, recommended by
Col. Lawrence S. Lightner,
deputy chief of staff for Air
Force operations, at the
fourth world wide Flying
Safety Officers Conference
attended by 300 civilian and
military delegates included:
The use of high-visibility
paint on military planes, ex
cept those aircraft required
to fly overseas missions.
The removal of all mili
tary flight practice areas
used by other aircraft.
The designation on all
aeronautical maps and charts
the areas where heavy mili
tary aircraft training takes
place.
The improvement of ra
dar control of airplanes and
tWe expansion of long-range
radar facilities. - ?
STRIKE THREAT
Havana (UPD Informed
sources said today the rebels
may try again this month to
start an anti-government gen
eral strike despite the failure
of two previous efforts. They
said the pre-government CTU
'Union Federation has warned
its locals to be on guard
against a terror campaign,
starting "about Oct. 28," in
an effort to frighten people
into heeding general strike
orders.
The Model T, driven at its
top speed of 20 miles an hour,
averages about 13 mileswper
gallon. The new Ford, when
driven at a conservative 30
miles an hour for best gaso
line economy, uses about 24
miles per gallon.
Actually, the ModelT-
twin lever job was not new.
It was reconstructed from
parts obtained from antique
car hobbyists throughout the
nation.
The bulk of the antique
unit was purchased from John
Skaff, a Flint, Mich., furniture
dealer who collects antique
cars as a hobby.
Some of the parts simply
were not available.
New wheels, for example,
could not be found and were
made especially for the goldn
anniversary Model T by a Ne
wark, N.J., company. The fen
ders were made by a San Luis
Obispo, Calif., shop and the
upholstery and touring car
top was done by a custom
shop near Detroit.
Six Feet Shorter
Although Ford produced al
most 15 million model T's (all
black) the last one in 1927
only the first 1,000 were twin
lever jobs. Only about a doz
en are believed to exist today.
The-"new" model T is 2Vz
feet taller and 6 feet shorter
than the 1959 model, with a
four-cylinder I engine of 22
horsepower. It will be donated
to the Edison Institute for dis
play in the Henry Ford Mu
seum in Dearborn, Mich.
Ironically, the model T, is
valued by museum authorities
at about $5,000 about twice
the price of a 1959 Ford.

work would start.
Review Proposals
District Highway Engineer
Sam Helwer and others re
viewed four proposals which
were estimated to cost be
tween $28.5 and $30.3 mil
lion. Three proposals involve
construction of a tunnel un
der Oregon mountain just
south of the Oregon-Californ
ia state line. The fourth pro
posal is for a route without
a tunnel, but costs were
shown as second high among
the four alternates.
Collier and others indicated
that the tunnel would receive
first priority. The section of
road extends from the Ore
gon line to about three miles
north of Idlewild, a distance
varying from 5.4 to 6.7 miles,
depending on which propos
al is considered. Cost of the
section would range - from
$5.5 to $7.3 million.
The route favored by those
attending this week's meeting
was one 5.4 miles in length
costing an estimated $6 mil
lion. Longer Section
The longer section of relo
cation, which would be built
when funds become available,
is 17.2 miles long and extends
from one mile south of Gas
quet to connect with the tun
nel section. Estimated cost is
$23 million.
Engineers said they would
expect to acquire property for
a full "freeway" 80 feet wide
for four lanes. Initial con
struction would be two lanes
with a third, creeping lane
for slower vehicles over the
hills.
Officials said the Californ
ia highway commission is
expected to approve plans
when they are presented.
When the plans would be sub
mitted was not known, and
