The man who is theoretically the nation's second highest-ranking official earns his pay simply by presiding over the Senate once in a while, by attending Cabinet and National Security Council meetings, and by doing what special jobs the President may assign him.

Even so, prices of the remaining autos will almost certainly have to be slashed to attract buyers. Studebaker has tried to escape the anger of its dealers by continuing the Ontario operation and thus technically fulfilling its contract to supply its dealers with autos...
