SCOFFS AT 'MINI-ROWS'

Agnew undaunted

by widespread criticism


WASHINGTON (')-

-"If you got


embarrassed about every mini-
row you'd never say anything,"'
says Spiro T. Agnew, "because
there is a mini-row every time
you say something. There always
has to be disagreement-that's
our system."
The vice president propounded'
this philosophy in an interview
shortly before publicly demonstra-
ting again his kinship with con-
troversy by attacking supporters
of the Vietnam Moratorium as wellj
as the television medium.
It has become a favorite debate
in the capital whether Agnew is
saying things in the name of the
administration that President Nix-
on would prefer left unsaid or,
conversely, that he is saying for
the President what Nixon dares
not say himself.

HERTZ CARS
Our Hertz cars have always been and will
be offered to our patrons at a 20% reduc-
tion in price AND mileage. They can be
leased on an individual basis at these rates.

An amazing new ingredient
now comes in this familiar package.
It's called a longer-lasting engine.
Longer lasting than what?
Longer lasting than our old engine, which in case-
you didn't know, was one of the toughest engines
around.
The new version is more powerful. (Top speed:
81mph vs. 78mph.)
It has better acceleration.
And most important, it weighs the same as the
older version. So it doesn't have to work as hard to
get you where you're going.
But that's where the generation gap ends:
The new engine will still give you a good 26
miles toogallon of gas.
It still takes pints of oil instead of quarts.
It still abstains from antifreeze. (Because it's still
air-cooled.)
And it's still convenientIv llocated in the rear for
