OPA Calls Farley 10 Discuss
Used-Car Price CEILINGS
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administration
said today it is preparing to estab-
lish ceiling prices for used passenger
automobiles.
The regulation is designed to pre-
vent sudden advance in prices re-
sulting from growing shortage of
used cars coupled with a dwindling
supply of new autos in the rationing
pool.
Tentative ceiling proposals will
be discussed at two meetings next
week. OPA officials will meet with
used car dealers in New York Tues
day and with dealers in St. Louis
Thursday.
OPA said speculative buying in
some sections had resulted in some
late used models selling above the
original new-car price.
While ceiling prices are in effect
for used commercial vehicles, used
passenger automobiles are not under
control.
