More Women Legislators
Sought By Both Parties

double purpose ? to entice more
Democratic women candidates into
the swim and to woo the voters to
support them.
It is an indication of political
activity unusually lively this far
ahead of an election, and it brought
from the GOP women's division

campaign techniques aimed at in
creasing the number of Republi

Democrats and eight Republicans.
The latter include the only woman
senator, Margaret Chase Smith, of
Maine.
What Katie Louchheim, Demo
cratic women's director, did was to
make a half-hour phonograph rec
ord of interviews with the Demo
cratic congresswoman that not only
glamorizes them but shows the im
portance of their office.
Entitled "First Ladies of Con
gress" ? Mrs. Louchheim points
out that each in some way is a
pioneer?the record is intended to
be offered free to all Democratic
groups requesting it from the na
tional committee here.
Against a musical background,
the informal record portrays busy
congresswomen at work and tells
how they stand on Issues.
Rep. Coya Knutson of Minneso

she asky, "that of the 25 cents we

one or two cents for the wheat?"
The Democratic party's stand on

"federal dams not only helped in

Rep. Iris Blltch of Georgia says

U.S. Meat Inspection Act
Was Passed 50 Years Ago
Bit JANE EADS
WASHINGTON?Most American
housewives take for granted the
round purple stamp. "U. 8. Insp'd
& P's'd:" on the meat they buy.
But this year that round purple
stamp la having a golden anni
versary. For 50 years since the
passage of the Federal Meat In
spection Act it has assured the
American homemaker that the
meat she buys comes from healthy
animals and Is clean and whole
some. She gets the same assurance
from the label of federally-inspect
ed canned and other meat products,
including today's frozen meat pat
ties, pies and "TV Dinners".
A Meat Industry Comwitee is
pushing a national program to call
public attention to the anniversary
of the passage of the Meat Inspec
tion Act June 30. 1906, the same
year me ruie ruw wiw woa nao?
ed by Congress. Both acts are be
ing commemorated with special
anniversary stamps issued by the
Post Office Department.
The Meat Industry Committee is
made up of representatives of the
American Meat Institute, the Na
tional Livestock and Meat Board
and the American Veterinary Med
ical Assn. It is cooperating with
the Agricultural Research Service
of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture in observance of the an
niversary, highlighted by an ex
tensive exhibit in the patio of the
USDA building here.
Today 80 per cent of the nation's
commercial meat supply?product
of 1,154 packing houses?bears the
purple label Indicating federal ap
proval. The remainder is subject
to state and local sanitary regula
tions. Meat that doesn't pass in
spection is condemned and is kept
under the federal meat inspector s
control?held under lock and key?
until it is processed for fertilizer
or inedible grease.
Today the United States meat
industry is the world's largest . . .
about 23 billion pounds a year.
We use nearly all of this. One
fourth of our food money goes for
meat. It is the leading item on the
family food budget. The average
person consumes about 160 pounds
meat a year, one of the reasons
why the United States Is one 'A

I ewsff when you soft-pedal the Power
Do you knovy how importantly new
this great '56 Buick really is?
We don't mean just in its fresh new
sweep-ahead styling. That's something
you can see even in a fleeting glance.
We mean all that's new under the hood
and under the big and roomy interior.
lake the brawny new 322-cubic-inch
V8 engine. New compression ratios
highest in Buick annals. New record
high power, too?with a power reserve
that's good news in any man's language.
For you can cruise this big Buick all day
at a legal 50 m.p.h.?yet you'll be using
less than 10% of its pedal-to-the-floor
power.
So here you get peak power plus longer
engine life, plus easier cruisjng, plus
l>etter gas mileage.
But still, that's only the beginning.
To transfer Buick's great new power into
travel, there's a spectacular new Variable
Pitch Dynaflow* with brisk new getaway
response in the first inch of pedal move
ment?plus that electrifying switch-pitch
safety-surge of full power that is obtain
able in no other transmission in the
world.
There's a great new ride, too?a ride of
new gentleness and buoyant stability?
with a new sweetness of handling, and a
far truer "sense of direction."
We could go on and on, through all the
97 new features that help make this '56 ?
beauty the best Buick yet.
But wouldn't you be better off by seeing
and feeling for yourself?and taking note
of the sensible price tags that help Buick
outsell all other cars in America except
two of the well-known smaller cars?
Can you drop in soon? This week, maybe?
*\cw Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only
nynafloif Buick builds today. It is standard on

extra cost on the Special.
