NEW YORK ■ A P .—There is a
flip saying in this country that “it
! wlgit you know that counts—
ft's who you know.”
This remark isn't, a* pertinent
as it used to be. Civilization has
become so complicated that people
with specialized knowledge in any
field are becoming more impor-
tant. The rest of us need them as
guides.
There is so much to know in the
world today that the guy with the
know-it-all complex is as out of
touch with reality as a fossil. Thig
is the age of the expert.
But how can the average man.,
seeking information about a'.topic,
tel! an expert from a bragging
bum!1
Well, the publishers of “Who'S
Who in America” have solved this
problem. They came out today
with a big volume called “Who
Knows—and What ”
Nothing Absent
The big Blue Book lists some
18,000 authorities on 33.000 sub-
jects, ranging, from the Aardvark
to the Zuni Indians. It runs to 907
pages and cost the publishers
$200,000 and several years of re-
search. 1
The publishers are hopeful the
volume will prove useful to every-

It wasn't only tires. Rubber companies furnish ;
many parts for cars, like window channeling, pedal 1
pads; engine mountings.
Truck tire business is off this year too.
The industry'.. however, takes cheer from re-
ports of increased sales of cars, and tractors, and
from a spring quickening in many business lines

Stevens, on the receiving end of McCarthy's Jf

chose to let the hea/ing* run their full course out T
in the open.
He took thg position that not only McCarthy I

counsel, and from McCarthy and Cohn.
McCarthy, simply, becaus* Stevens was the wit-
ness. nailed him to the chair day after day with
questions. Yet, more and more as the days passed,
McCarthy has been acting like a man who thought
he was surrounded by enemies. R
He accused two of the senators—Democrats T
Symington of Missouri and Jackson of Washington t
—of trying to obstrut-i' his hunt for communists. »

Head of the Vice Squad for

series of chilling climaxes, half a

Despite mystifying and colorful
examples of the underground vo-
