Dealers Face Club

Refusal Of some auto dealers
to sell new cars in stock unless
the customer has a car 10 trade
in will be met shortly by the
OPA with something besides
warnings. An amendment is
planned 10 the price regulation
which will make il violation
for the dealer to refuse TO sell
a new car.
The desire of some dealers TO
replace new cars with used
ones where possible has irked
the OPA for some time. Insist
ing on a trade-in at a devalued
allowance has been regarded as
an attempt to realize higher
price than permitted by the
price schedule. Heretofore
violation could only be charged
if the sale actually took place
with a used car being unwill-
ingly traded in. Now the mere
refusal to sell will constitute a
violation.
Another amendment will fur
ther penallZe such dealers by
stopping the increment on his
entire stock of new cars on his
refusal TO sell. The OPA's the
ory on this is that the ] per
cent month is allowed TO deal
erS for the expense of carrying
cars in stock which he was re-
stricted in selling. Now if he has
the opportunity to sell and
doesn't the OPA sees no reason
TO let him accumulate the in
Crement.

KEPT SECRET FROM NAVY

Wallace said that on Nov 81

wrote TO another that nc had sue
ceeded in keeping from The eyes
of Mr.. Werkenthin, a represen-
tative OF the navy, details of
Standard Oils manufacturing pro-
cess when the naYy's representa-
tive visited the plant and re-
quested these details.
con Nov. is. 1889" Wallace
said. "the army-navy munitions
board indicated that Standard
oil had told them that the rub
ber companies were not inter-
ested in making tires from
buna-s rubber.
This Is stated I'm letter
dated Nov. Is, 1889, by mill
tary officer who was chief Of
the commodities division OF the
army-navy munitions board. En-
actly the opposite was true.
RUBBER FIRM INTERESTED
"The rubber companies were
very much interested in the de-
veiopment of tires from buna-s
rubber. The real fact Il that
the license agreements offered
by Standard Oil would have. for
practical purposes prohibited
the rubber companies from
making tires"
Other records of Standard Oil,
Wallace said, show that company
resorted TO "subterfuge. conceal
