5 Airmen Die In
2nd Maine Crash
L.MESTONE, Maine, UP) — Five
airmen died in the flaming crash
of a huge KC-135 jet tanker at
Loring Air Force Base yesterday.
The Air Force said two of the
men aboard were thrown, clear of
the wreckage and managed to get
out “by some miracle.” One of
them escaped with a lacerated
hand; the other suffered a broken
arm and burns.
The crash occurred in the same
general area where a B47 jet
bomber crashed last Saturday,
killing all four men aboard.
Air Force officials said the
tanker bad been flying on a mis
sion for four hours and was com
ing in for touch and go landings
— practicing landings and take
off immediately.

U.S. Living Costs
Remain Steady
WASHINGTON, UP) — Laving
costs as measured 'by the federal
government remained unchanged
in October.
The Labor Department reported
yesterday its consumer price in
dex held steady at 123.7 per cent
of the 1947-49 average. This is
the same as in Augtist and Sep
tember. The peak was 123.9 in
July.
Because of the relatively steady
living cost level over the last three
months, there will be no adjust
ment in pay rates for nearly one
million workers in the auto and
related industries whose labor
j contracts call for quarterly adjust
ments based on the government
index.
However, decreases of about 1
cent are scheduled to go into ef
fect in the pay rates of about
20,000 other wqrkers, whose con
tracts have a different adjustment
basis from the auto worker group.
The workers thus due for a pay
eut — the first such downward
adjustment based on the govern
ment index since March, 1956 —
are employed by the Westinghouse
Electric Corp., Deere & Co., Chi
cago Transit Authority and the
Convair Aircraft Division of Gen
eral Dynamics Corp.

The world's best-selling
car is the car with
Thunderbird elegance
In the greatest styling decision of the
year, the American public lias already
shown a clear preference for the new
Fords. Ford sales are way ahead of all
compel?!tion. Why? One reason is the
classic simplicity of their Thunderbird
inspired design—clean, crisp lines that
are pure automobile! And Foras are
built for people—to sit in, to drive, to
ride in—with comfort.
The car in hottest demand
across the land has greater
roominess and comfort
Thousands ot customers have bought
the new Ford over all competition for
another compelling reason—it’s a true
six-passenger car. (The only four
passenger car we recommend is the
Thunderbird!) All six Ford passengers
get plenty of every kind of room—
from leg and head to elbow and hip.
Rear seat passengers don’t feel like
they’re riding with their feet in a bucket!
The No. 1 car in sales
saves money on gas, on oil,
on maintenance bills
A new Ford will save you up to bi a
gallon on gas. That’s because both
standard engines—Six or Thunderbird
V-8—thrive on regular gas. And Ford
saves on oil, too, with a Full-Flow Oil
Filter as standard equipment. Drive
4000 miles between oil changes! And
you can forget about waxing your car.
Ford’s Diamond Lustre Finish stays
gleaming bright without waxing—ever!
The most popular American
car is priced as much as
$102.75 lower
Ford costs you less right <Jown the line
than the competition. Compare price
tags and you’ll see that the manufac
turer’s suggested retail price oTa Ford,
equipped with radio, heater and auto
matic transmission, is as 'much as
$102.75 less than the major com
petition! And on an air-conditioned
car, you can save up to $219.85. So
compare and save on a 1959 Fordl
