DETROIT, July 1.-Automotive
trade circles speculated today over the
possibilities of general car price in
crease in the wake Of first definite
announcement by the Ford Motor Co
and producers complaints Of rising
costs"
Fords announcement, in the nature
of surprise, stirred talk directly
whether the other two members of the
automobile fields big three'-Gen-
eral Motors and Chrysler-may follow
suit.
Over the last several months. observ-
ers pointed out the producers have felt
rising material costs to greater or
lesser extent while some were troubled
simultaneously with labor difficulties
1t was recalled that only last Tues
day Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman of
General Motors Corp, had broadly
hinted an increase in prices.
Price increases of SIS to $35, ef-
3ective Monday, on several passenger
models of the 1887 Ford line were
announced last night, with the terse
explanation: Rising costs" The
''base price" will remain unchanged.
The increase excludes five types
OF passenger cars and all trucks and
commercial cars
When reporting a s22,377,277 de-
cline in net earnings for the second
quarter of this year compared to
1895, Sloan predicted a possible sub
stantial increase in selling prices
for General Motors cars because of
a decrease in labor efficiency" and
higher materials costs.
Chrysler has yet to indicate its
position formally.
Criticizing strikes which reduced
production, Sloan said sound and
desirable progress" is impossible
through arbitrarily increasing wages,
shortening hours and reducing ef-
,hciency."
Higher wages and shorter hours,
he said, are a by-product OF tech
inical advances"

Our American political so-called
choppers" of today ought to read up
on the seventeenth century biography
of Sir William Temple. It would help
them to explain themselves satisfac-
torily.
I have especially in mind the OPP
posing cases of Senators Marvel M.
Logan of Kentucky and Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana.
Now I never considered Senator
Logan a reactionary. always assess
ed him as most enlightened, toler-
ant conservative, verging on liberal
as a dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon. I have
heard them say so, with excavations.
And I never regarded Senator
Wheeler as a vehement left-winger.
But l formerly heard conservatives
refer to him as "red"-with shudders.
Now!
Well, Senator Logan has proved to
be staunch New Dealer.
He was one of the administration
strongholds in the Federal Supreme
Court fight. He suggested change
or two in the administration court
plan, but only with a view to getting
the plan adopted, in substance.
Can such a New Dealer, in that in
stance, ever get back to anti-New
Dealer-ism in general? 1 doubt it.
Senator Wheeler initially was 100
per cent New Deal. The whole New
Deal proposition was right down his
alley-until the Supreme Court plan
was set up, to be bowled against.
Then, as we know, he baked, and
violently.
After that fight, can he, ever again,
be reckoned as a wholehearted New
Dealer? I doubt that also.
