New Blasting Slated
To Stem Po Floods
•y th« Associated Pres*
ROVIGO, Italy, Nov. 26.—Flood
fighters readied new dike-cutting
blasts today to hasten to the Adri
atic the destructive waters cover
ing this Po River delta area.
Though the water level dropped
slowly in this drowned-out pro
vincial capital, new threats were
posed by disrupted sewage sys
tems, weakened buildings and a
lack of drinking water.
More than 160.000 have been
made homeless, and the unofficial
death toll has climbed past 150
in the last 17 days of floods, but
thousands clung stubbornly to the
upper stories of their water-weak
ened, maiooned homes.
W. Averell Harriman, United
States director of mutual security,
warned in Rome of the danger of
disease and announced that $1
million would be furnished the
Italian government for medicines
and other supplies for the flood
victims.
The decision to rip new' holes
in the dikes near Adria followed
an aerial survey of the flood area.
Breaks made previously sent the
mighty Po flowing over farmlands
to the sea, 'spreading a great
muddy blob from the broad delta
far out into the Adriatic.
Since the cuts, the flood level
at Adria has risen only 5 inches,
officials said. Here at Rovigo,
to the west, the water was drop
ping at the rate of an inch every
three hours.

Egypt's Envoy to U. S. Secs
No 'Real' War With Britain
By the Associated Press
Mohammed Kamil Bey Abdul
Rahim, Egypt’s Ambassador to
the United States, said yesterday
he did not believe there would be
"real war between Britain and
Egypt’’ because "our army is not
equipped to fight Britain.’’
The envoy discussed the current
crisis between his country and
Britain over the Suez on the Na-j
tional Broadcasting Co.’s “Meet]
the Press" television program.
He said the Suez Canal "will
never be defended without the
co-operation of Eeypt," but he
declined to answer a question
whether Egypt currently is able
to defend Suez single-handed
against an aggressor of Russia's
strength.

Blarney Tweeds
Tailored by Rogers Peet
The rugged country folk of Ireland may
know little about the coaxial cable or supersonic
jets, but one thing they do know well—how to
weave some of the finest tweeds in the world.
These Blarney Tweeds are fine specimens of
their skill. Loomed entirely by hand in pic
turesque thatched huts, with the whimsical
charm of the Ould Sod in every thread and
fibre. And what colors! Each fabric is shot
with rich blended hues that are as alluring as
a colleen’s smile.
Rogers Peet tailored these superb Donegals in
a youthful modified drape, perfect for sports or
business. Coat has center vent and patch pock
ets, so you can make it double as an odd jacket.
When you see them in our store, you won’t be
able to resist these Blarney Tweeds. And that’s
no blarney!

There are literally hundreds of thousands of
people who should be intensely interested in
what we are writing here. ,
They are the people who paid more for
their cars than a Cadillac costs—and still
didn't get a Cadillac.
You see —there are five manufacturers of
motor cars who produce a total of twenty
models which actually cost more than the
lowest-priced Cadillac. And during recent
years, hundreds oj thousands of people have
taken title to these higher-priced models.
Surely, a large percentage of these owners
did not understand, at the time of purchase,
how comparatively little a Cadillac costs.
They assumed that a Cadillac must cost more
—because of its reputation. So they paid for
a Cadillac —and still failed to get the things
a Cadillac provides.
They failed to get the irresistible perform
ance of its great master high-compression
engine ... so smooth and quiet that the car
seems almost to move by automatic pro
pulsion.
They failed to get the soft, gliding Cadillac
ride that makes every road a better road, and
makes the longest journey a day of pleasure
and relaxation.
They failed to get the wonderful prestige
which marks the Cadillac owner, throughout
the civilized world, as a man distinctly apart.
And, of course, they failed to get the price
less personal satisfaction of owning the
“Standard of the World” —the car which, for
fifty years, has been built to the highest
standards it is practical to attain.
Surely, they won’t want to miss all this
again. It’s a lot to lose—especially when it
costs no more to have it.
* * *
If we already have your order for a Cadillac
—please be assured that you have made a
wise decision —and stand firm until your car
is ready for delivery.
But if we don't have your order—better
come in and see us today. We are certain you
don’t want to pay the price of a Cadillac —
and still not get one!
