THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH. TEXAS. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1953
The First Session of the 83rd
Congress passed 208 bills. Nine
of these were vetoed by the
President. Many important bills
were left on the calendar or
pending in. committees; These
will no doubt be some of the
first measures to be considered
in the 2nd Session of the 83rd
Congress, which begins in Jan-
uary, 1954. The present status
of the tax laws will almost ne-
cessitate some kind of tax leg-
islation early in the session.
This does not mean higher tax-
es, but it will no doubt mean
a readjustment and realign-
ment of taxing procedures.
Much thought is being giv-
en to a general sales tax, which
will be in addition to the indi-
vidual income taxes, but is
supposed to replace some excise
taxes and other special tax
items. The proposal has been
to set this up where it can be
collected at the source, that is,
from the manufacturer. This for
the reason that it is supposed
to save much administrative
costs and reduce some tax evas-
ions. The expiration of some
excise taxes plus the automatic
termination of the increased in-
dividual income taxes has caus-
ed much concern in Washington
circles. These expirations will re-
duce tax income revenue by be-
tween ten and twelve billion
dollars. If present expenditures
are continued (and I hope they
will not be), these expirations
will mean a larger deficit. There
are two ways of balancing the
budget. One is to increase taxes
and the other is to reduce ex-
penditures. Frankly, I am a
strong supporter of the -latter.
THE UN: The UN can expect
to be in for some tough sled-
ding as long as employees
whose activities have been sus-
picious are kept on the pay roll.
The recent decision to reinstate
some of those who had been
suspended does not meet with
the approval of the American
people who are paying most of
the bill. In fact, they strongly
condemn it. UN employees, like
Caesar's wife, should be with-
out suspicion. The sooner these
questionable people are remov-
ed from these places of interna-
tional importance, the greater
will be the chances of the re-
laxation of the original purpose
for which the UN was estab-
lished, that is, the promotion of
world peace.
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINIS-
TRATION: The Small Business
Administration was created by
Congress during the last ses-
sion. It will assume the duties
of the former Small Defense
Plants Administration with ex-
panded authority in other fields
of small business as well as
the small loan functions of the
RFC. It cannot accept applica-
tions for loans until about Oc-
tober 1. Applications for loans
in this area should be submit-
ted to the Regional Office, Small
Business Administration, 1114
Commerce Street, Dallas 2, Tex-
as.
FIRE HAZARD
Q—What is the principal cause
of fire in the United States?
A—Carelessness with matches
and smoking accounted for almost
one-sixth of the total number of
building fires in 1952.
Q—How often should chimneys
be cleaned?
A—Every year. A professional
chimney sweep is recommended,
but if you can get up on the roof
safely, a good job can be done by
wrapping a couple of bricks in
burlap and lowering and raising
it in the chimney with a rope.
Q—How many of the 12,535
people killed in fire last year were
children?
A—One-third, about 4000 chil-
dren less than 14 years of age.
Here are three steps that will re-
duce this loss. First, provide ade-
quate supervision at all times.
Second, teach fire safety by prac-
ticing fire-safe habits. Children
will copy the actions of parents.
Third, keep matches out of reach
of small children.
Q—Is the observance of Fire
Prevention Week worthwhile in
view of the continuing increase in
fire losses?
A—Yes. The fire loss is high but
it has not kept pace with popula-
tion growth, the millions of new
homes and other buildings, and
the inflation in property values.
The NFPA also is encouraged by
facts like this: In 1939, there were
79,500 roof fires. In 1952, there
were about 16,000 roof fires, a
drop of 80 percent, largely due to
NFPA’s continuing fight on flam- '
triable roofing.

The Greatest
Gasoline Development
in 31 Years
* f m
New Conoco Super Gasoline
1 ■ - >,f
nwHi
Boosts power as much as 15% fincreases spark plug life up to 150%! Gives you extra gas mileage, too!
Here’s the most revolutionary advance in motor
fuels since the introduction of tetraethyl lead in
1922—new Conoco Super Gasoline with TCP,
brought to you by special arrangement with
Shell Oil Company. TC P is Shell’s trademark for
the remarkable additive originally developed for
aviation fuels.
Now you can actually enjoy the benefits of an
engine tune-up—just by changing to new Conoco
Super Gasoline. Chances are, by the time you’ve
finished your second tankful, you’ll feel the increase
in power. And you’ll keep that extra power just as
long as you use Conoco Super.
For Conoco Super with TCP is a new kind of gaso-
line. It overcomes the greatest single cause of
power loss affecting most of the cars on the road
today. Now, you can enjoy all the power that was
built into your car.5
Why you need
Conoco Super Gasoline with TCP
In the average automobile, the by-products of fuel
combustion constantly build up deposits on spark
plugs and in combustion chambers. These deposits
can “cheat” you of power in two ways. First, they
actually short-circuit your spark plugs. This causes
mis-firing. Second, deposits in the combustion cham-
ber get red hot and cause the fuel to ignite before
it should. This is called pre-ignition or “wild ping.”
The effect of fouled spark plugs and pre-ignition is
a loss in power and a waste of gasoline.

Combustion deposits form here, causing
mis-firing and loss of power. TCP neutralizes
these deposits, giving top power and performance.
How TCP works
TCP is a special chemical additive which is added
to Conoco Super Gasoline. It was specifically de-
veloped to overcome the loss of power and fuel
caused by combustion deposits. TCP neutralizes
harmful deposits on spark plugs—your plugs spark
as they should. It prevents deposits in the combus-
tion chambers from causing pre-ignition—“wild
ping” is controlled. Thus, every time you fill up
with new Conoco Super, it’s like getting your spark
plugs cleaned and your engine tuned-up.
TCP helps your car; whether new or old
If you are driving a new car, with a high-compres-
sion engine, you need Conoco Super Gasoline to
keep your car delivering all the power that was
built into it. It will actually increase spark-plug
life up to 150%. If you drive an older car, with tens
of thousands of miles on the speedometer, Conoco
Super can restore much of the “new car” perform-
ance and power you’ve been missing.
Yes, a great new era in motoring is here for you;
Drive into your Conoco station today and fill your
tank with new Conoco Super Gasoline with TCP*
You’ll feel the difference by the second tankful!

deposits on spark plugs and in combustion chambers:
Q. What does TCP do for new cars?
Answer. It helps them keep their original power;.
Q. What does it do for older cars?
Answer. It’s like cleaning your spark plugs and
getting a motor tune-up. You’ll get back much of
the power you’re now missing.
