The figures above represent the total number of vehicles
coming off assembly lines in 1966, showing Ford Motor Co.
as second largest producer of the big four in automaking.
This year's strike on Ford plants over the country could
have quite an effect on their total in next year's figures.
In August of 1967, for example, Ford built 75,000 cars and
38,000 trucks. Total production from Jan. 1 through Aug.
31 was 1,677,930 cars and trucks.

'Big Lie' Technique Hides
True Aims of Radicals
By BRUCE BIOSSAT

WASHINGTON (NEA)
Men who w o u 1 d use undemocratic means to “save de
mocracy” inevitably must pollute the great streams of a
nation’s thought. It is happening here.
For a long time in this postwar era, the radical right was
damned as the chief perverter of thought upon the great
issues. It saw a Communist in every dissenter from its rigid
cathechism. And it made “foreign plats’ ’of the legitimate
aspirations of upward struggling Negroes and others.
The radicals of the left have come near to pushing their
rightist brethren off center stage as polluters of thought. In
their convention at Chicago, they never flicked an eyelash
when some of their number summed up the summer’s urban
turmoil by decrying “the destruction of our cities by business,
the police, and the army.” The real throwers of fire-bombs in
Detroit, Newark, Milwaukee and elsewhere must have smiled
at their release from the burden of guilt.
By the leftists’ measure, government is the oppressor of
the poor and the racially disadvantaged. By the rightists’
gauge, it is the oppressor of nearly everyone else. Both
charge government with the grossest of lies in its enforce
ment of oppression.
But the detached onlooker, who has listened carefully to the
assaults of the right and the left, discovers inescapably that
their regard for truth, for the provable fact, is .perhaps even
less notable than with those they attack. *
T ?, sa L thelr . thought is careless Is to understate the matter
vastly. Too often they do not try at all to make a case. They
move by placard, by slogan, by a kind o mental bulldozing.
Even as they assault the “establishment” for cynicism,
falsehood, insensitivity and inaction, they fill the air with
p?tehedemotiona^m tUlatory rationaUzatlons of their high-
It has always been said of American political life that It
has been marred by the exaggerations of an exuberant, free
swinging, frontier-bred people. Sober appraisers have long
counted upon the scholar and the student, in their academic
enclaves, to provide the major corrective even before the
researches of history begin. But today, too many of these
once-detached viewers have plunged into the arena, forsaking
the rules of careful thought and helping to cloud the atmos
pnere with frenzies of propaganda.
Hence the government and business, and the other organ
ized elements of U.S. society, get very little of the earnest,
calm, well-founded criticism they need to curb their excesses
and corrected their errors. Instead they find their excesses
outmatched by clamoring critics.
The once-cool refuge of the academic citadel is today too
® fte " a * r ? ntte ’kg l ?? gr for the launching of the
double-think and double-talk which helps to befoul this
country’s flow of thought on the great public issues of the age.
In the name of democracy and the causes they say serve it,
the polluters of thought on the right and the left, in the
practical and the academic realms, forgive themselves
ignorance, carelessness, irreverence for truth. In so doing,
they slash a great scar upon the whole of American society.

LB.J Believed To Be Getting
’Message’ On Spending Guts
By MICHAEL L. POSNER
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Pres
ident Johnson apparently Is
getting the message from
Congress that he must cut
federal spending if he wants to
save his proposed 10 per cent
tax increase.
The Chief Executive called in
his Cabinet today for a midday
meeting and the major topic
was likely to be the problem of

'6Bs Top Secrets are here
1968 Chevrolets
The 1968 Chevrolets are the very essence of modern
design. Every line, every curve is in close harmony.
It’s a smooth, uncluttered look with roof lines com
patible with body lines, grilles and bumpers that blend
gracefully into long, rounded fenders. Clean, flowing,
beautiful in their simplicity, these '6B Chevrolets are
rich and advanced in styling beyond any you’ve ever
seen.
A MORE SILENT RIDE
And for 1968, we’ve gone to every length to give you
more peace and quiet inside. The most sophisticated
computers have been used to strategically place body
mounts and successfully isolate noise and vibration.
Shock absorbers have been Improved. The wheel
stance on many models is wider for greater smooth
ness. Exhaust systems have been redesigned to make
them whisper-quiet. Even the clocks tick more softly.
A sound car Is a silent car. The ’6B Chevrolets are the
most silent, highest quality cars we’ve ever built.
BETTER PERFORMANCE
There are new engines, a bigger standard Six and VB.
Be smart! Be sure! Buy now at your Chevrolet dealer’s.
There’s more quality and value built Into Chevrolets than ever before, making every new 1968 model an even better buyl

ment spending.
The Cabinet session followed
by a day the President’s regular
weekly breakfast meeting with
House and Senate leaders
during which he outlined the
difficulties he is having in
cutting federal spending. He
was quoted as saying that he
had only about S2O billion under
his control.
The President’s use of the 20
billion figure was a develop-
ment in itself. When he
proposed the 10 per cent Income
tax surcharge on Aug. 3
Johnson told Congress he had
spending discretion over only
about sl2 billion, with the rest
of the huge federal budget
already committed to defense
and other untouchable pro
grams.
Apparently, between Aug. 3
and now the Chief Executive
has come up with another $8
There’s a new 250-hp V 8 you can order that runs on
regular fuel. Many new engine components increase
dependability and keep your new Chevrolet running
stronger. There’s a new rear axle ratio you can add
for greater economy. On most engines equipped with
automatic transmissions, there’s a special heater for
the carburetor which gives you more, efficient per
formance in cold weather. And with every engine, you
get the new GM exhaust emission control.
UNIQUE ASTRO VENTILATION
There’s a whole new idea in ventilation, called Astro
Ventilation, for Camaro, Corvette and the elegant
Caprice Coupe. It’s also available on many other
models. By opening two new vent-ports on the instru
ment panel, you bring in outside air that can be
directed where you want it. This way, you can leave
your windows rolled up and add still more to your
peace and quiet.
PROVED SAFETY FEATURES
You get the proved GM-developed energy absorbing

Billion which might be eligible
for chopping.
According to White House
Press Secretary George Chris
tian, the President is studying
the possibility of reductions in
funds for the Departments of
Health, Education and Welfare;
Housing and Urban Develop
ment; and Agriculture; the
space program, and several
independent agencies.

ments contain controlable

reduced by presidential action),
though there i sno likelihood
that the entire 20 billion cited
would be impounded.
Senate Democratic leader
Mike Mansfied, Mont., said he
doubted the economies could
amount to much. He pointed out
that many of them woud have
to come from public works
programs, farm subsidies and
other projects “that usually are
pretty dear to the hearts of
members of Congress.”
RESTRICTIONS EASED
WASHINGTON (UPI) —The
United States has lifted restric
tions on American travel to
Iraq, Jordan and Yemen that
were imposed during the Arab-
Israeli war in June.
Restrictions still apply to
Syria ana Egypt, except for
special cases in the national
interest, the State Department
said Tuesday.

many more new features. Among them: energy absorb
ing front seat backs, and safety armrests that shield
the door handles.
MUCH MORE THAT’S NEW
There are new roof lines, some formal and graceful,
others sporty and quick. There are new instrument
panels, richly designed and all controls within easy
reach. There are new interiors, new vinyls, new fab
rics, new colors. There are models with Hide-A-Way
windshield wipers and headlights that disappear be
hind grilles. There are new side marker lamps, new
recessed taillights. There’s even a new ignition alarm
buzzer that reminds you not to walk away and leave
your keys in the car.
These are the newest, the most different, the most
dramatically changed Chevrolets ever. And they're at
your Chevrolet dealer’s now. You’ll'thoroughly enjoy
slipping behind the wheel, experiencing the smooth
new handling and library-quiet ride and, more than
anything, seeing and feeling the even greater quality
built into every new Chevrolet for 1968.
PERILOUS RESCUE
HALFPENNY GREEN, En
gland (UPl)—Michael Davies,
23, a novice making his second
sky dive fell victim to a
“million to one chance” ac
cident Sunday but lived to tell
about it.
Davis’ harness became en
tangled in a parachute release
line attached to the plane from
which he was diving. He
dangled from the plane for five
minutes while an Instructor
climbed down the line, wrapped
himself around Davies, and both
men were cut free, falling to
safety with the instructor’s
parachute.
