SENATE SENIORITY QUESTION
MAY CAUSE JANUARY WRANGLE
Trutnon-Byrnes Again
The Truman-Byrnes feud has bro
ken out all anew with the publica-
committee tion of Jonathan Daniels, Junior’s
resigned book, The Great Man From Inde-
Columbia. — The often-discussed
question of State Senate seniority
may raise another public wrangle
in January—this time on the floor
of the Senate itself.
Seniority is the system whereby
those Senators with longer periods
of sen-ice get the pick of committee
jobs, leaving posts of less importance
to younger solons.
Under that system, for example,
Senator Edgar A. Brown of Barn

committee and Senator W. Brantley

T hat bold bonnet that stretches
out before your eyes on a 1950
Buick isn’t there just for show.
Lift it up, and you’ll find that the
space beneath is abundantly occu
pied, by one of the biggest hood
fuls of power you’ll find in any
motorcar.
What you’re looking at is Buick’s
modern version of the high-com
pression valve-in-head engine,
which gains extra wallop from the
fact that it uses the exclusive Fire
ball combustion principle.
We could list a lot of mechanical
reasons why fuel gives up extra
power in a Fireball engine—how
it's wrapped in a swirling, ball
shaped charge—how it burns with
a smooth, clean thrust that
delivers maximum action.
But the best way to find out what
all this means is to touch off the
eager horsepower out on the high
way by a gentle nudge of your toe
—and feel your shoulders press
deep in the cushions behind them.
N ow all this sounds thrilling,
you say, but how about the feed-
bills for all these horses? How
about miles-per-gallon?
The practical answer to that one
is found in this year’s experience
with the Super and Special—and
even the Rqadmaster.
In all three, the horsepower was
stepped up at the start of the year
—and in all three, happy owners
report the best mileage in modem
Buick experience.
This is due to a little-known but
authentic engineering faa—which
is that an engine bums less gas
when it doesn't have to labor. At
any normal driving speed, there
fore, extra power is extra thrifty.
So we say again—if you’re looking
for power—mighty power—buoy
ant power—silken power— thrifty
power—better buy Buick.
Your Buick dealer is eager for the
chance to demonstrate how sound
this hint really is.
