a "team player. Open opposition from his own corner comes as a jolt, or at least it did. As months wore on. however, Mr. Eisenhower shifted ever so gradually to a thinly disguised dislike for the Wisconsin Senator under the weight of McCarthy's persistent attacks on officials for whom the President had high regard.

It was not too difficult to chart his shift in personal feeling toward McCarthy. (Ike probably would disown personal feelings toward the Senator, but believe me, that is a political nicety. No politician likes to admit that he's personally sore at another one.) THE PRESIDENT'S public statements on the subject of McCarthyism were highly restrained until the Senator took on the Army. Even then, the Chief Executive did not excoriate the Senator by name. He even went out of his wav to criticize those who would put personal differences and disputes above what he called "honest debate." In public statements, however, the President gradually fashioned a shoe that could fit Turn to Page 4.

Column 1 Acts lo End Bell Strife ATLANTA (JP) Gov. Frank Clement of Tennessee Wednesday proposed informal a i tration procedure to lessen tension in the Southern Bell telephone strike. Clement's proposal was aimed directly at reopening strike-closed exchanges at Maryville, Lafollette and ietlico, but presumably there would be no objection to extending it to other situations. Officials of the striking Communications Workers of America (CIO) said the plan was acceptable to them. A spokesman for Southern Bell said it was under consideration.

Boy of 12 Bludgeons Little Girl Pontiac Lad Ruled Subnormal in 1953 Special to the Free lre PONTIAC A three-year- old Pontiac girl was bludgeoned with a spiked two-by- four by a subnormal 12-year-i old boy, police said Wednesday. Cindy Lynne Montgomery, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Charles E. Montgomery, is in critical condition at Pontiao General Hospital. Blows from a three-foot two-by-four with two spikes in the end inflicted a broken neck and extensive puncture wounds. The boy, seized at his home nearby a short time after the crime, has been turned over to authorities for psychopathic tests before a hearing; April 26. His IQ is 76.

The case was a close parallel to that in which Kathy Mclaughlin, of Farmington Township, was killed near her home In late winter.

"I will not give to your demands." Ellis told the prisoners.

It means the used car buyer has a much better chance of getting a good deal. "In the past, he usually was buying blind. Now the performance of his car can be guaranteed." Finally it means that you really can get something out of periodic checkups.

Had I been asked to guess the attitude of the autorr.en toward the life cf cars, I would have said without undue cynicism that they'd want their cars to wear out reasonably quickly so I'd come back for a new one. But apparently it's just the opposite. "It even astounds me to see how hard they're trying to ive a customer a break," Heyer said. i Your Car a Break Republican, had been dismissed as an adviser on refugee prob- lems because he wanted to be named administrator. 1 Hotly denying this, Corsi urged i a congressional investigation.

Heyer estimates.

"If a car company can't hold the customers it has and performance of the cars is what will hold them the company is doomed." WHAT DOES this new angle mean to us, as owners or potential buyers of cars? Plenty of things all good for uj. It means first that if we just follow the r'jnple rule of periodic checkups we can cot the costs of operating our ears substantially. "Within six to eight months alter a car leaves the factory, a readjustment is imperative," said Heyer. "If it doesn't get it, the mileage will decrease, the power will be cut and the car won't be able to handle the high-powered gas deigned for it." IT MEANS also that cars Goes All Out and are in a sensational boom. Benjamin Heyer, president of Heyer Industries, is a pioneer in the new multimillion-dollar business of inventing and manufacturing the equipment which reveals when and to what extent any part of your car needs repair.
