J. Materie, local Montgomery Ward store manager, "ParnelH Jones, winner of the Indianap olis '900, test drove Riverside tires for 100 miles at straightaway speeds up to 138.46 m.p.h. lo prove their safety and stability for hot-weather high-speed endurance driving on the nation's turnpikes," J. J. Materie, local siora manager said. Jones is shown inspecting one of the tires at the right. Jones saidi "If a motorist is looking for a safe tire for highspeed driving, these tests should prove that Wards Riverside can take more punishment than motorists will ever give them." . The Montgomery Ward store manager also pointed out that while normal passenger car drivers never reach race track speeds, the fact that Riverside ST-107 nylon tiret were tested under gruelling conditions by the country's foremost race car driver, proves that Riverside tires will withstand high-speed driv ing far in excess of normal turnpike driving. This makes them doubly safe under nor mal driving conditions," J. J. Materie said.

Our next meeting will Washington -flJPD- An aide to Gov. .lockefeller has been assuring Republican legislat ors in Washington that his chief is solidly in the 1964 presidential race, according to the New York Times. In a dispatch published to day the Times quoted uniden tified congressmen as having been assured that the govern or would stay in the fight for the Republican nomination through at least two primary contests-probably New Hamp shire and California. . The assurances, according to the Times, were circulated among liberal Republican sen ators and congressmen by George L. Hinman, Republi can national committeeman from New York, who is a Rockefeller political adviser. Not Committed "I just wanted you to know that we're in this thing all the way," the Times quoted Hinman as telling the legis lators. However, the accounts said that Hinman was careful not to commit the governor to a specific political sched ule. Hinman, queried about the reports today in New Yorn, said, "All I have to say is 'no comment'." But the impression left by Hinman. according to the Times, was that Rockefeller was prepared to contest the California and New Hamp shire primaries, at least. Good Reception Preliminary soundings by the Rockefeller pulse takjrs have indicated a good recep tion for the governor among New Hampshire Republicans. Moreover, Dartmouth College, of which Rockefeller is a faithful alumnus, is situated there, and he has done much for the college. California, Rockefeller aides feel, may be a fertile place for testing the liberal Rocke feller philosophy. Sen. Thom as Kuchel heads a militant faction of Republican liberals there. The assurances given by Hinman to key Republicans are seen as an attempt to fore' stall worries by potential Rockefeller backers that their man will drop out of the race at the last minute, as some felt he did in 1960. k'f- I . : . v - sf.?2$ Uf iff I THE OTHER CHEEK Trainees Richard Siller, left, and Loii Bonzell of the Congress for Racial Equality, maintain tneir stoic posture as they submit to an egg shampoo "for civic rights" in San Francisco.
