POSTWAR CARS:
To Cost $500

Radically new lightweight passen-
ger cars that may sell for as little
as $500 were envisioned by F. c.
Crawford, president Of the National
Association of Manufacturers, as a
postwar development resulting from
amazing strides in metaIlurgy.
Mr.. Crawford said that motorists
in the coming peace era will have
better gasoline than the 10O-octane
fuel now used for combat aircraft.
The superior gasoline, plus greater
use of light metals developed during
the war, will give the American peo-
pie far greater mileage on their cars
and the cheapest all-around automo-
bile transportation in history.
The NAM president said automo-
bile companies expect to start pro-
duction on, some cars Immediately
after the war, but that the new post
war models probably will not appear
for Is to Is months afterward.

ROOSEVELT:
Better World ahead

Bad news for the Axis, good news
for the United Nations and the as
surance of victory followed by post
war economic security were the
three most significant elements in
President Roosevelt's annual mes
sage to the 18th congress.
In delivering his bad news to the
Axis on all fronts, the President
bluntly announced: ''Now our aim
is to force the Japanese to fight.
Last year we stopped them. This
year we intend to advance" In the
African area he promised that the
last vestige of Axis power would
be driven from the south shores of
the Mediterranean. Concerning Eu-
rope, he said, eve are going to
strike-a and strike hard"
The good news for the United Ma
tons was contained in Mr.. Roose-
velt's enumeration of the miracle
of production at home, as well as
the evidence of close corporations
between all Allied leaders. In his
summary of accomplishments dur
ing the last year, the President list
ed the production Of $4,000 airplanes,
$4,000 tanks and self-propelled ar
tillery weapons, and 10,431, 900, 900
rounds of ammunition and the trans
porting of 1900, 1000 men of our 7,0O0,-
600 armed forces overseas. Signif-
icantly, he revealed that more sup
plies are now being flown by Ameri-
can planes to China than were ever
transported over the Burma road.
In his approaches to postwar plan
ming and domestic policy, the Presi-
dent succeeded in promoting good
will for the administration in con-
gress now closely balanced in po-
litical faith. He suggested princi-
Piles rather than specific recommen-
dations for legislation that might
stir up factional disputes.

CONSUMER GOODS:
Fewer Purchases ahead

Purchases of consumer goods and
services by American civilians will
register declines of 10 to Is per
cent in 1913, while production of
goods will show a Is to 20 per cent
dip, according to prediction by the
Office Of Civilian Supply of the War
Production board.
The OCS estimated that the lag in
production would be Offset by the alb
sorption of Is per cent of the inven-
tories on hand at the beginning Of
the year.
Largest drop in buying is expect
ed in durable goods, continuing a
trend started in 1912 when purchases
by civilians declined As per cent be-
low 1941. This years decline is es-
timated at 35 per cent below 1912.
The OCS said that production of con-
sumner goods from steelwouldvirtual-

cause continued to come from the
far-fiung expenses of south and CEN
trail Russia.
The Reds two-pronged threat
aimed at Rostov, vital city at the
mouth of the Don, grew more men
acing to the Nazi defenders, as both
the northern and southern arms Of
the pincers continued to make new
gains, capturing 81 villages in the
Middle Don and rolling up impress
sive advances in the Caucasus.
The Caucasus offensive was espe-
cially significant, for after expelling
the Nazis from Mozdok, gateway to
the Grozny oil fields, and from stra-
tegic Nalchik, the Russ pressed the
retreating Germans hard, advanc-
ing toward Mineralne Vody, center
Of q network Of Caucasus railroads.
The capture Of more than dozen
Caucasus towns indicated that the
Nazi front in the area was breaking
up faster than in any previous bat
ties.
The seriousness Of the. German
plight in the Caucasus was empha-
sized by the fact that for the first
time the Berlin radio conceded that
Axis troops were retreating in the
east Caucasus, explaining that their
troops had carried out ga shorten
ing of the front. according to plan by
giving up advanced strong points,"

Signs Are Propitious

Signs are "propitious for another

aster" to America next winter, Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes yester-
day told members of the Federal
Bar Association.
If there had been good will on
both sides, a contract would have
been signed last May. he asserted.
Emphasizing that approval of a
wage contract is up to the Wal
Labor Board. Mr. IciSes said he had
prevented one strike and was in
terested in having the coal mined
for war production and heating OF
our homes"
The oil situation, Mr.. Ickes re-
marked, shows no improvement
although the opening of pipe lines
has licked the transportation prob
lem." Requirements Of the armed
forces, he said. are growing day by
day, with the result that many fill
ing stations are going to be empty
from time to time"
Discussing other domestic ques-
tions Mr.. Ickes said that Congress
while it has supported the Executive
in the conduct of the war, does not
agree with the Executive or itself
in the domestic field. I'VE can't
be very encouraging to our Allies,
he stated
He added that violation of ra-
tioning regulations isn't helping
America win the war or "our own
self-respect,' as he posed the ques-
ton of whether America Is head
ing for a genuine democracy or a
type of Fascism." He said he agreed
with the recently expressed views
of Charles E. Wilson, vice chairman
of the War Production Board, that
America after the war might swing
too far to the right.

ruled unconstitutional the 1941
state law which empowered the

Harry Cohen, attorney for the

set were too high. The board had
set a floor of 90 cents for haircutS
and 35 cents for shaves.
Judge Lamb ruled the act was
not for the good OF the health,

and thus gave the state improper
police powers.
