Judge Young called Hoftner's original conviction "a tragic miscarriage of justice." Hoffner was sentenced to life Imprisonment for the still-un- tolved slaying of a Queens bartender in 1940. A Queens County judge set the conviction after a five- year campaign headed by Edward J.

Kiwanis Club Hears Address On Dairy Industry The importance of the dairy industry was discussed yesterday at the luncheon meeting of the Troy Kiwanis Club at The Hendrick Hudson. The speaker was Raymond F. Peasback of New York, advertising and promotion manager of the Dairymen's League, who offered statistics on dairy production nationally, statewide and locally. In Rensselaer County, he said, the dairy production amounted to six million dollars in 1953.

The speaker was introduced by Charles Cranston' and Samuel J. Cox, president, was in charge of the meeting. Technical Session Opens AiRPI The 19th annual conference of the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering began yesterday on the Renssejaer Polytechnic Institute campus.

Dana Young, profes sor of engineering at Yale University, served as chairman and Gabriel Horvay of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory was vice chairman. Technical papers were read by John L.

Just point one of Chevrolet's special hill-flattenen at it (either the "Turbo-Fire V8" or the "Super and pull the trigger! Barr-r-r-r-o-o-O-O-OOM! Mister, you got you a flat mountain! At least it feels flat. For these Chevrolet VS's gobble up the toughest grades you can ladle out.

They love to climb, because that's just about the only time the throttle ever comes near the floorboard. And that's a pity. For here are engines that sing as sweetly as a dynamo built to pour out a torrent of pure, vibrationless power. Big-bore VS's with the shortest stroke in the industry, designed to gulp huge breaths of fresh air and transmute it into blazing acceleration. So most of the time they loaf.

Even at the speed limit they just dream along, light nnd easy as a zephyr, purring out an effortless fraction of their strength. Until an emergency screams "NOW!" until your foot bangs down and that VH explodes into action! An enginaer can run his eye over the specifications of these VS's and instantly understand why they are so hyper- efficient how friction is held so low they need just four quarts of oil instead of the usual five or more how big valves and short manifolds let them "breathe" deeply for maximum power how the 12-volt electrical systems (exclusive in Chevrolet's field) provide twice the punch for cold-weather starts and faultless high-speed firing. But you don't have to be an engineer to know that these are the sweetest-running VS's you ever piloted. Just in, slip behind the wheel, point the nose at the nearest hill, and feather the throttle open. These VS's can do their own talking and nobody argues with them! atextm mt.
