Mills, who built the car for $600 to avoid high gasoline prices, said there is the problem of running out of electricity when the batteries go down. "I can't expect to have a highway patrolman to bring me new batteries when I'm stalled beside the freeway." disposed not to manifest pronounced national positions, but if hopes in a unified Europe were dashed, one must in the future take into account that Germans have more markedly than we would 1 ii mi Ui jj COMPANY j. jiijiii tii(; pjiii M.
