Volkswagen Switches to 'Automatic 9 Volkswagen is introducing a torque converter transmission which eliminates the clutch pedal and puts an end to gear changing in traffic yet allows shifting for those who want it.

The new transmission, an optional extra, has a suggested list price of $135.00. The shift lever is on the floor and the pattern is similar to that of a standard three-speed transmission. However, of the three forward gears only two, Drive 1 and Drive 2, are used in normal driving. The remaining gear is a Low range, used for hard pulls with full loads. Those who prefer to drive without shifting can do so by using the Drive 2 position exclusively.

Drive 1 provides better acceleration for starting and passing but has a top speed of about 55 miles per hour. Moving the shift lever from Drive 1 to Drive 2 at about 30 miles an hour assures excellent performance in all speed ranges from a standing start to the car's top speed of about 75 miles per hour. Box Board Expands in Arkansas Stock Gain Reduced in Late Trade NEW YORK (AP)-The stock market clung to a gain late today despite weakness in international airlines, some drugs and gold mining stocks. Volume for the first four hours was 8.13 million shares compared with 10.17 million Friday. Gains outnumbered losers by nearly 200 issues on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.44 at 906.S President Johnson's proposal to limit U.S. tourism abroad was accompanied by heavy selling in Pan American World Airways which dropped more than a point as most active stock. TWA was down about 4, also in active trading. KLM slipped nearly half a dozen points, Northwest Airlines about also. A decline in wheat and rye served as a strong factor in lower soybeans and corn prices.

The principal reason for the wheat decline was liquidation by holders of futures tired of waiting for an expected advance.

Wholly apart from Social Se curity or the federal government's military and civilian retirement programs, the private plans enrolled 25 million workers by 1965.

These are about half the nation's private, nonagricultural employes. By 1980 it's estimated 43 million em- ployes will be building up private retirement rights. Even more spectacular has been the growth in pension plan $11 billion in 1946 to $135 billion in 1965. Some pro jections go as high as $450 bil lion for 1980. Great! Or is Among economists invited bj a Senate-House economic subcommittee to contribute to a symposium on retirement sys terns there are some who saw a minus here and there among the social pluses in the development of old age pension programs.

If i salting away more than ca readily be invested in job-pro ducing opportunities, the economy may be slowed and the government may be encouraged to run deficits to spur it. Nonsense, says another school: Needs and opportunities for capital are in excess of savings. One reason why pension plan holdings are growing so is the widespread feeling that they should be funded.

This means that instead of simply promising an employe a pension when he reaches retirement age, the employer should put aside enough each year, in one way or another, to take care of the future pension claims accumulated during the year. In contributory plans, of course, the employes also put in something toward their future retirement. A fully funded plan offers reasonable security that, no matter if the company fails or some similar catastrophe occurs, the accumulated pension claims will be Funeral services for Mrs. Clara Hoffman, 91, a life-long resident of the Godfrey area, will be held Wednesday at 1 in Gent Chapel with the Rev.

Dodd Had FBI Chauffeurs NEW YORK (AP) James P. Boyd, former assistant of Sen.

Thomas J. Dodd, has written that the FBI, in return for speeches praising the bureau and its chief, J. Edgar Hoover, made its agents available to Dodd as chauffeurs and private detectives. In an article in the Jan 13 issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Boyd says that when Dodd was traveling across the country "U.S. immigration officers and on occasion FBI agents were pressed into service as chauffeurs at various times." "On at least one occasion," Boyd wrote, "FBI agents in New York City were detailed as chauffeurs to drive Dodd around on social calls.

I knew, too, that the FBI at times made its agents available to Dodd as private detectives, to tail members of his staff who have incurred his suspicion." Boyd also wrote that Dodd told him during the 1964 Democratic National Convention that he would "have run a mile" for the party's nomination for vice president. Boyd said Dodd made the remark after President Johnson had selected Hubert H. Hum- A break-in and burglary Dec. 27 at Midwest Sanitary Service in Wood River has been solved with the arrest of three persons and a fourth is being sought, Wood River Police Chief Clarence Vollintine said today. He said those under arrest, in the Madison County jail, and under $8,000 bond are: Emmett Dick, 21, of 1122 Adams Court, Alton, charged with burglary; Mrs.

Brenda Dick, 18, same address, charged with forgery and Raymond J. Pattcson, 24, of 2112 Lindenwood, East Alton, charged with theft. Payroll checks and a check protector were stolen in the break-in at Midwest. Chief Vollintine said Dick and Patterson took a gamble by cashing forged checks with heir real names on them in he hope they could cash a lot of checks quickly, secure a large sum of money, and flee the state. By using their own names, automatically leading police to suspect them, they could produce identification when cashing the forged checks.

The name of the owner of Midwest was forged. Police confiscated numerous checks from the suspects which were already made out, ready to be cashed. Patterson was arrested Dec. 29 at the Grandstand Tavern in Wood River while attempting to cash one of the checks. The Dicks were arrested the same day in Alton by Alton officers at their residence.
