WASHINGTON — The Democratic National
committee said today it is sending “truth kits”
ahead of Sen. McCarthy (R Wis.) to editors and
party workers in the cities along his present speak
ing route. The committee said in an accompanying
letter it is providing the material because of indica
tions that McCarthy “has been considerably more
careless with the truth while speaking away from
Washington than he has been in the capital, where
he is under the scrutiny of reporters who have the
facts readily available to enable them to check on
his claims.”

duty in this area.

When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoy
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.
Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First, L.S./M.F.T.—Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.
So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
Be Happy—Go Lucky. Get a pack or a
carton of better-tasting Luckies today.
