Since the recent action of Price
Administrator Leon Henderson in
demanding withdrawal of retail
price increases effected by several
manufacturers, the whole subject
of price schedules has become a
somewhat delicate subject among
the men who make motorcars. One
reaction has been considerable spec
ulation in trade quarters regarding
price control possibilities in the used
car trade.
While admitting that if control is
applied to new-car price it probably
will be extended to licensed used
car sales. trade spokesmen contend
that stock of secondhand vehicles
of varying age present a consider
ably different problem than a con-
trolled output of new cars.
The cost of carrying a stock Of
used units cannot be averaged as

Auto Sales Rivalry
Is Keen Despite
Big Demand
BY DAVID J. WILkIE,
Associated Press Automotive Editor.

hSSUIldlEQ EautO4lLOb4fC IN4NOA'
DETROIT, June 22.-The heaviest
demand for new cars the motor
industry has experienced in many
years has not diminished competi-
ton among the automobile retailers,
according to reports to sales chiefs
of the various companies.
High trade-in allowances are un-
derstood to be continuing in most
sales areas, although the used car Is
beginning to take on an added
potential value in the estimation OF
its owner, as uncertainty increases
regarding neW-car production vol
ume after August l.
Generally, say the industry's sales
executives, motorcar owners seem to
expect greater trade-in credits now
on the theory that used-car values
already have been increased by the
prospective cut in next years car
production.
Future prices-for both used and
new cars-are as difficult to forecast,
the sales authorities say, as is the
actual output volume of new units
in 1912. An acute shortage of new
vehicles. most of the sales chiefs
agree, will mean a heavy demand
for used cars. On the other hand, a
tapering off in car demand next
year, expected among many of the
trade experts, would be felt in the
used-car market as well as in fac
tory sales.

company paid 81. The fact that

NEW YORK. May 15.-The
Rudolf Hess melodrama today re-
called reports published in Paris
shortly after the outbreak Of the
war, purporting to show that
Hess, like other high Nazi leaders,
had taken elaborate financial
precautions outside of Germany
to insure himself large income if
he should be forced to flee the
Reich.
Those reports, published by
Paris Soir, listed Hess holdings
outside Germany as totaling
nearly 100000 and added that
he had taken out S1,350000 in
life insurance on himself and
S350,000 on his wife. A large
portion of the insurance policies,
according to the Paris Soir &C
count, stipulated payment in
British pounds sterling.
Hess had placed about SAB, 600
in cash in a bank of Sac Paulo,
Brazil, the story stated, and also
had large deposits in other neutral
countries.
