-Specifically, these are the forces which appear to be converging to make the next model year a sensation: 1 The introduction of smaller cars which will put new excitement, a new spark into the entire auto market Rumors persist that the first of the Big Threes offerings might be unveiled even earlier than this fall, but the precise timing is not the key point. What is most significant Is that the smaller cars will be really new. Not just stripped-down "basic transportation," but individually styled compact cars. What helped send the 1955 car market toward the stratosphere was the style appeal of that years models. Small Car then, nothing the automakers done has similarly caught on.

Curiosity about the compact cars already is being whipped up to an explosive point. And at the same time, the larger cars will be substantially restyled, too. 2 The lower-than-noraal buying -of cars ever since 1955 under-buying which has buiR up a backlog of demand for new autos. Actually, the auto market hasn't yet recovered from 955s buying binge. More than half the cars on, U.S.

The boom, is likely to begin shaping up this fall when the 1960 models start coming to market A total of new car sales soaring into the 7 million range in I960 and shattering even the. dazzling peaks chalked up in the- wild buying year of 1955 is well within the limit of reasonable possibilities. A pew pattern of auto buying highlighted simultaneously by increasing public Interest in cars that are compact and economical to operate and by rising numbers of two and three-car families also well may be in the making. In brief, it could be that were heading directly into the biggest auto market yet "Detroit' isnt saying any of this publicly.

The -automakers, understandably concentrating on the 1959 spring sales season, are restricting their predictions to the 59 model performance. Look Ahead to 60 But some of the shrewdest business forecasters I know Ijin Wall Street already are I looking beyon'd 1959. ThwV, They've down 1959 auto I I I 1 4,500,000 and this total of cars is needed simply for re-ilacement Just normal buy-ng to make up for recent subnormal buying will spur rising sales trend. 3 The heavy repayment of auto debts in recent years which has placed hundreds of thousands of fami-les in position to take, on new installment debts to buy cars if they decide they want ol -r Debts Paid Off By now, auto debts nave long since been paid off. is plenty of leeway or a sharp upswing in credit buying of cars.

4 The intensifying trend toward multi-car ownership which arises not only from the suburban way of life, but also from the increasing number of working wives and the fact, that in many areas public transportation has broken down to the point where a second car is truly i necessity. At least one out of every 0 families already owns wo cars and one out of hree in the racket owns two or more. Multi-car ownership may be absorbing 900,000 or more cars a year soon. 5 And then, there Is the general business background with consumer incomes rising steadily to all-time leaks and consumers show ng mounting Interest in buying big-ticket items. A very good car year in 960 would fan out, spark our entire economy, create obs and fatten pay checks in industries far away from Detroit Even at this early date, smart money men in Wall Street are betting 1960 will je a very, very good year indeed.

He did a rather remarkable thing yesterday.

He threatened to summarily expel two of his students if they appeared on tele-, vision to help impress upon you the frightening dangers of a scientifically unexplored drug called peyote, accused accomplice in the death of a University of Redlands student last week. I was shocked recently to learn that peyote can be purchased in many areas of the United States. I even ordered some through the mail and turned it over to the Los Angeles County Sheriffs This was part of the story I wanted to tell. Mr. Armacost could have helped but he refused.

There were no legal nor moral factors involved in his decision. It was an arbitrary one. An angry one. "My own feeling, Mr. Armacost told me brusquely, is that weve had Tod much publicity already.

More and more persons are being admitted to hospitals because they have become psychotic from drinking scrapbiron alcohol. The drink is made from rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) and moth balls (naphthalene). They may also be made with com, sugar, yeast and household bleach!
