Increase in Prices
For 1941 Autos Predicted
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. June 18.-James
Dalton, editor of Motor, predicted
before the Pennsylvania Automotive
Association that 194l automobile
models would appear in due course
probably at an increased price.
He said yesterday that he did not
believe automobile plants would be
able to begin large scale production
OF aircraft and other war equipment
inside OF six months due to lack of
machines, tools and dies.
The expansion of business in gen.
eral and the employment of millions
OF workers was forecast for this

prices of all commodities will in

certain at this writing. There will
be a very material increase in the
number Of votes cast for Dewey on
the first ballot due to the showing
promised for Mr.. Willkie. Dewey
has been under the handicap Of
opposition from the Organization"
leaders among the Republicans in
many Of the States. These organi-
zation leaders are not taking kindly
to the proposal that Willkie, who
until recently was a Democrat and
who Is at present a representative
OF big business, shall be the G. o. P.
standard bearer. The organization
Republicans have been a bit leary
OF the 38-year-old racket-busting
New York district attorney. They
appear to be even more leary. how
ever, OF the former Hoosier Demo-
crat. They say, quite frankly, that
they do not know anything about
Mr.. Willkie except that he has been
a successful lawyer and business
man.
Drop Defeatist Idea.
The Republicans gathering here
for the party's national convention
have gotten their second wind. They
are no longer suffering from a de-
featlsts' complex due to war abroad.
They believe they have a real chance
OF victory next November. They are
anxious to put forward the candi-
date whom they believe will receive
the greatest number of votes. They
are still impressed with the fact
that Dewey showed great strength
among the voters in the primary
elections in Illinois. Wisconsin, Ne
braska and New Jersey-and even
in Pennsylvania, where his name
was not entered but where more
than $4,000 voters wrote in his name
on the ballot.
Many claims are being made of
Willkie strength in New Jersey,
where about 10000 voters wrote in
his name against Dewey, the only
entrant in the primary. Dewey,
however, received some 200 900 votes
In the same primary
Pennsylvania large delegation,
the second in size in the national
convention, has determined to vote
for Gov. James on the first ballot,
except one delegate who has an
nounced he will vote for Dewey no
matter what. II and when the
Pennsylvania delegates leave Gov
James, they may have a great effect
on the nomination-unless they split
up many ways. The PENNSYLVANIA
Republicans have a reputation for
sticking together, however. Dewey
has had much popular support in
Pennsylvania. but the leaders have
held OF. Indeed, 1t has been re-
ported at various times they favored
Senator Taft. or Gov. Bricker of
Ohio. The Pennsylvanians, how
ever. are quite realistic, and if they
move away from Gov. James in a
body it will be in the belief that
they are going to the probable NOM
inee OF the party.
Some See James Victory.
Some Of the Pennsylvania leaders
are in earnest when they say they
they can put Gov. James across.
They insist he would be an excel
lent candidate. That he is a good
campaigner and forceful speaker.
They are reluctant to talk. at this

stage of the game, of any second
choice.
Although they are making no
statements in regard to the candi-
dates for the presidential nomina-
ton. there is reason to believe that
former President Hoover, former
Gov. Landon of Kansas, Republican
presidential nominee four years ago;
Senator McNary of Oregon. Repub-
lican leader of the Senate. and
Representative Martin of Massa-
chusetts. Republican leader of the
House, are all opposed to the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Willkie These gen.
tlemen are supposed to have con-

of Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York or Senator Taft of Ohio or
Gov. Bricker of Ohio or another
candidate on an early ballot.
Mr.. WILKES candidacy was origi-
nally hailed by some of the Repub-
lican leaders-not supporting Mr.
Dewey-as a help in stop Dewey
movement When in recent days
the Willkie candidacy loomed as
something decidedly real, these gen.
tlemen, who by no means desire the
nomination Of the power magnate,
came to the conclusion that steps
must be taken Ito stop Willkie.
There are indications that they are
moving quite effectually to put the
quietus on the Willkie drive.
The more realistic Republican
leaders are asking themselves what
would happen to Mr.. Willkie and
the Republican party next Novem-
ber if the former Hoosier corpora
ton lawyer and present New York
president of big public utility
were actually nominated. They are
learning that he would not receive
the support Of labor. They are ex-
tremely doubtful that he would run
we'll in New York State, despite-or
perhaps because-of the fact that
he Is Wall Streets candidate.
Would Upset State G. o. P.
The New York State Republican
organization is supporting Dewey.
The nomination of Mr.. Willkie over
Mr.. Dewey would be bitterly re-
sented, it is said, by many New
York Republicans Kenneth l..
Simpson, the Republican national
committeeman for New York, whose
ousting from his present Office has
been decreed recently by the Empire
State delegates to the Republican
National Convention, is here fight
ing the nomination Of Mr.. Dewey
and presumably supporting that of
Mr.. Willkie, although he had the
support of the Frank E. Gannett
forces in his battle with the Dewey
ties. Dewey's defeat at the hands
Of Mr.. Willkie would bring about a
chaotic condition in the Republican
organization In New York. 1t has
been generally taken for granted the
Republicans must carry New York
II they are to win the election next
fall. Only one presidential candi-
date in recent years has won cleo
ton and not carried New York, and
he was a Democrat with the solid
South" back of him-the late Pres
ident woodrow Wilson, in 1916.
Mr.. Dewey and Senator Taft will
enter the convention backed by
the two largest blocs of delegates.
The Dewey people say their man
will have considerably more dele
gates than will Senator Taft. Taft
people take the opposite view. If
these two candidates and their sup
porters get together. they will be
able to control the convention and
nominate the presidential candi-
date. They could nominate a
Dewey-Taft ticket or a Taft-Dewey
ticket-if they would. There are
reasons to believe such a combina-
ton may be tried; that the man
who makes the greater showing on
the early ballots will have the pres
idential nomination. and the other,
the vice presidential nomination.

tervention in favor of the defeated
peoples.
The question of an actual peace
between France and her foes will
rot come up for the time being.
The question to be discussed will
be the surrender of the French
armed forces-or whatever is left
OF them. And there is mighty little
left.
Most of the French war material
has been destroyed in battle. Or
course, the heavy guns of the Maei-
not Line are intact, and so is the
armament of the 500 900 Frenchmen
in the Alps. But the actual fight
ing material used by Gen. Wev-
gand's armies is almost entirely
gone.
A day before Marshal Petain de-
cided to sue for peace, the high
command knew that the troops at
the front were without sufficient
ammunition to put up even a decent
rear guard action The plan con-
celved earlier last week that the
french Army retire behind the
Loire and fight for another few
weeks there had to be abandoned
because of the lack of ammunition.
The poilus had become recon-
clled to the lack of air protection
most OF the French planes had
been shot down or had become un-
serviceable because they could not
be overhauled-but the men actual
~ lacked sufficient bullets for their
rifles and machine guns.
When it became obvious that these
could not be obtained any longer.
the military forced the civilian gov
eminent out of Office and to Mar
snail Petaln was intrusted the pre-
miership in the hope that the Ger
man soldiers would be more lenient
to a military man of the old field
marshal's reputation.
But 1T was not only ammunition
that the French were lacking. Food
also had disappeared. The civilian
population was hard up and the
army was worse off than the civil
lans. Reports from the front were
that in many instances soldiers had
to fight as long as 36 hours without
any nourishment. Then, when food
hnally reached them usually it was
hardtack. weak coffee and some
thing optimistically described as
soup.
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow
had little in the way of hardships
on the retreat from the Somme and
the Seine.
The appointment of Admiral Dar-
land as secretary of the navy is in
terpreted by some observers to mean
that the French won't try to save
the navy by sending it in a hurry
outside the Mediterranean.
Rightly or wrongly, the French
are fed up with the lack of CO.
operation by their allies and friends.
They feel that for the time being
there is nothing to do but submit to
the inevitable. And that inevitable
seems to be, among other things,
the loss OF the colonial empire.
Hence. they say. what is the good
OF rlsklng some drastic reprisals
from the Germans by refusing to
surrender the fleet. All they can
hope for is merciful terms from the
two dictators and they know that
neither Hitler nor Mussolini will be
kind or generous.

For years men have searched
the animal kingdom for suitable
experiment victim. There has been
only one eligible candidate, the
macscus rhesus monkey imported
at high cost from India.
Because of high mortality rate
and higher upkeep charges, the
costs for single experiment with
the chattering little tree mammals
has been staggering sometimes
as high as $3.50. Hundreds of
worthwhile experiment ideas have
been tossed aside because Of in
sufficient funds.
The southern rat can be de-

able that experiments now may be
conducted for as little as $40.
The susceptibility Of the rodent
to infantile paralysis was discov-
cred by Charles Armstrong of the
U. S. Public Health Service, whose
years of search finally took him to
the cotton fields of the South.
Armstrong succeeded in injecting
paralysis virus into the rat from a

ease in Lansing. Mich. Results
were revolutionary.
