Cost Listed
On Manuals
At $11.15
WASHINGTON (LTD That
GI manual on how to wash the
general's dog, serve his drinks
ii i J shine his shoes cost $11.15
per copy, the Air Force disclosed
today.
A master sergeant and three
civilians devoted a total of 230
days to composing the "on-the-
job training" manual. Just 500
copies were published and distri
buted to enlisted men assigned as
aides to generals, at a total pub
lishing cost of $5,572.71.
These vital statistics were pub
lished by a House appropriations
subcommittee which had ealied on
the Air Force for an explanation
of the controversial manual.
The manual, which popped up
at a House armed services sub
committee hearing on Feb. 2, is
one of several put out by the Air
Force which have stirred contro
versy and sparked - two congres
sional investigations.
Chairman Francis E. Walter
iD-Pa.) of the House Committee
on Unamerican Activities plans to
quiz the Air Force Thursday on
why it withdrew a manual which
contained charges of Communist
infiltration of some churches. Wal
ter said the charges were "abso
lutely true."
An armed services subcommit
tee, on the other hand, is laying
groundwork for an inquiry into
how this manual came to be is
sued.
Explaining the manual for gen-i
erals aides, the Air Force said
Lome of the contents had been
"misconstrued," or could be, any
way. This presumably referred to
sections on how to bathe a dog.
shine shoes, clean toilets, mop,
dust, wait on the table, and greet
guests.
"The fact that certain tasks or
procedures were included in' the
manual docs not indicate that
such duties were to be performed
regularly by the airman aide as
a routine part of . his duty," the
Air Force said.

'No Change
In Style
Says Elvis
BAD NAUHEIM. Germany AP'
Elvis Presley says there won't
be any change in his singing style
when he returns to civilian life
shortly.
"I've no reason to change." the
rnck 'n' roll idol and Army ser
geant said in an interview Tues
day. "The people will let you know
when you should."
Presley's two-year service hitch
ends next month, but the Army
isn't giving the exact date. It
wants to avoid a repetition of the
een-age riot that greeted the sing
er on his arrival in Germany 17
mouths ago.
Elvis, now 24, said he is glad to
be getting out but quickly added
"It was a good experience in
many ways and I made friends I
would not have made otherwise.
I'm very proud of having been in
the Army."
The Army apparently is satis
fied with Elvis, too. "He has done
remarkably well both his his Army
duties and off duty," said one of
his commanders.
Presley has been serving with
an armored division at Fricdberg.
He recently won his sergeant's
stripes and was made leader of a
scout squad.
Although he made- no records
in Germany, Presley said he kept
abreast of music developments.
"My friends in the states sent me
clippings and the latest recordings
to let me know what's going on
back home," he explained.

Con's Letter Claims Body Provides Clue
SACKAMENTO, Calif. (API-
Caryl Chessman, writing what he
Icjrcd would be his last letter,
told Gov. Edmund Brown a miss
ing body would prove he is inno
cent of the crimes tor which he
was condemned.
The 1,500-word letter, released
Tuesday by Brown, did not iden
tify the body or tell how it would
exonerate him.
Chessman, 38, said he had other
evidence which, "in the absence
of the body, would be by itself
worthless." He termed the evi
dence he had "like a jigsaw
puzzle."
Chessman said the body, of a
man, was missing when he sent
a representative to look for it. He
did not say where the search was.
Brown released the letter, re
marking that Chessman had
agreed to making it public after
asking earlier that it be kept con
fidential. George T. Davis, one of Chess
man's attorneys, told newsmen in
iSan Francisco he was filing
papers with the secretary of stale
in Sacramento today for the in
corporation of "The People
Against Capital Punishment. Inc."
Davis said the convict-author
plans another letter to Brown and
"wants to offer the governor an
unequivocal way out." He did not
say what that would be.
The governor says the last
Chessman letter was not a factor
in the reprieve, merely a last
desperate effort in Chessman'a
II 3-year fight to evade the San
Quentin Prison gas chamber.
A court hearing is to be held
Thursday in Los Angeles to set
a new execution date for Chess-,
man.

Until smooth Smirnoff came along, nobody had tried using
vodka in a Dry Martini. In fact, ten years ago, only one Ameri
can in a thousand had ever lasted vodka.
Today, thanks to Smirnoff, vodka drinks are everywhere . . .
and the Vodka Martini is a household word. If you want the
world's subtlest, driest Martini, try making it with Smirnoff.
And let nobody tell you all vodkas are the same!
NOTEi There', a world of difference in Vodkas. Be sure your Vddka is

tresidtnt, American Motors Corporation
A utomobile history has been made. A new
f class of cars has achieved" unprecedented
public acceptance.
This new class is the compact car class.
For 8 years, Rambler was the only compact car.
Now every major U. S. car manufacturer offers
his version of the compact car.
Because this class of cars is so new and be
cause so many conflicting claims are being made,
there is understandable puzzlement in the minds
of many people as to what these compact cars are.
How does each compare in price, in economy,
in performance, room, comfort, features?
How does each measure up by the basic yard-stick-of
value usefulness to the user?
As the originator of the compact car as the
first company to heed motorists' demands for a
more economical, less bulky six-passenger car
we know you need facts about compact cars to
clarify the confused picture which has arisen be
cause of the many conflicting claims.
That is why we present these facts.
In our 10 years of building compact cars we found
the necessary room cannot be provided in a vehicle
less than about 170 inches long.
The maximum length is about 200 inches. Beyond
that, excess sheet metal .adds nothing to comfort
only to parking problchis. See chart at left, below.
How many kinds of compact car?
Everyone realizes that there are major differences
between big cars in size, price, quality, comfort and
performance, but few are aware that differences be
tween compact cars can be equally varied.
There are three distinct compact' car fields, based
on over-all length. See chart below.
What is a compact car?
Webster defines "compact" as "firmly united . . ,
solid . . . arranged so as to economize space . . ."
A compact car offers big car room and comfort foi
five or six passengers, without needless bulk. By avoid
ing excess bulk, a true compact car provides high
level economy with performance, maneuverability and
driving ease.

Only Rambler offers
a full choice of compact cars.
New compact cars on sale are small compacts, like
Rambler American about 175 to 184 inches long.
While some of these small compact cars claim six
passenger room, they lack enough room in important
dimensions to ride six big men in comfort.
Above this class is the optimum compact car the
Rambler Six 189.5 inches long.
Optimum because it offers the ideal balance of
qualities to provide optimum usefulness to the user.
The ideal balance of big car room, with small car
handling ease . . . fine performance, with top economy
. . . highest quality, with low price and top resale value
. . . modem styling, with easy-to-cnter doors.
If you want these Rambler advantages with V-8
performance, but slightly less fuel economy, there is"
the Rambler Rebel V-8.
AMBASSADOR V-8. ..Compact Luxury.
For those who want luxury car performance and
features with the extra luxury of compactness, we
offer the Ambassador V-8 by Rambler America's
first and best compact luxury car. (Imitations of the
Ambassador have recently been announced by our
competitors as the first of this type.)
Which is lowest priced?
Probably the greatest area of confusion is in the wild
claims of "lowest price."
One small compact car claims to be priced "up to
SI 24 less than other compact cars."

The facts, according to manufacturers' suggested
factory delivered prices, show this: '
Rambler American is lowest priced of all U. S. cars'
by at least $ 1 1 7 on 2-door sedans, S130 on 4-door
sedans, $205 on station wagons.
Facts, not claims, show the Rambler American, with
room for five big adults, is lowest-priced by far.
jWhat about economy?
Conflicting claims have now been settled by the first
official economy test between the compact cars.
A Rambler American Custom Sedan with overdrive
averaged six-and-two-thirds more miles per gallon
than any other compact car in the recent Pure Oil
Economy Trials, at Daytona Beach. The event was
under the strict supervision of NASCAR.
Compare total economy.
Rambler not only saves you money on first cost and
gasoline, but also on upkeep and lowest depreciation:
Rambler leads in total economy.
Rambler owners America's happiest
Impartial surveys show Rambler owners are happier
than owners of any other make. They report fewer
service troubles. More say they will buy the same
' make again than owners of any other cars.
The reason is Rambler's Basic Excellence that
pioneered lighter, stronger, safer, rattleproof Single
Unit construction and Deep-Dip rustproofing.
Basic Excellence that builds up to a standard, not
down to a price.
Rambler's superior quality control.
The Rambler plant produces more complete can
than any other single U. S. plant. With production in
one plant, it is much easier to maintain uniform qual
ity control over every process.
Now Rambler production has been expanded again
to three full shifts, six days a week.
But be assured, we will not sacrifice quality for
quantity production.
Every Rambler built will be as carefully made and ,
inspected as the Ramblers which have buUt our repu
tation in the past.
FREE facts on all compact cars.

tual analysis of all the compact cars
(and how they compare with the
leading low-priced cars), we have
