Higher
Price Due

NEW YORK. Nov. plat pres
ent ceiling prices, u. S. Steel
Corp. would have 10 make and
sell almost a third more steel in
the postwar years than II aver
aged IN the two decades between
the world wars just 10 keep out
OF the red.
That is the outlook for this
basic industrial giant which pro-
duces almost third Of all the FIN
iShed steel made in this country
At the same time il demonstrates
the job that the Office OF Price
Administration faces in its an
nounced policy OF trying 10 hold
down prices through the reconVer-
sion period.
Accountants carefully studying
costs and selling prices OF other
industries say that the fix IN
which L. s. Steel finds itself is
fairly typical. They emphasize,
TOO. that any further relaxation
OF the Little Steel Formula" by
which wage rates are now re-
strained. will surely make the sit
uatlon worse. Rising pay has been
the big cost-increasing factor.
Few industrialists expect lower
wage rates after the war. The
only alternative, then. as they see
II, IS higher prices.

Graphs
: Used Car Ceilings
Talk Again Revived
By sILER FREEMAN

Complaints reaching Wash
ington of a growing BLACK
market" in used cars are in
creasing. They come mainly
from reputable dealers whose
chief grippe is that OPA is maxi
ing no effort 10 check deals
between individuals 10 enforce
price ceilings.
Like the supply of new cars,
the used car reserve is rapidly
reaching the danger point.
Dealers point 10 dWindling
stocks. The answer may be in
used car rationing by OPA,
which has been talked of but
which has not YET come about.
Even David G.. Kelly. head Of
the National Auto Dealers Asso-
citation, thinks il is in the cards.
Recently Kelly stated:
THE odds are at least 60-i0
that rationing of used cars will
be necessary before the war
ends. Our margin OF safety in
available automobiles and equip
ment, excluding trucks, has now
dropped to 10 per cent, and II Is
still dropping"

Plans for Postwar

Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Co.
has at least two innovations on
the postwar fire"
One is an attachment for the
regular upright model cleaner
which enables the housewife to
use il for waxing and polishing
floors. A polishing roll merely
replaces the regular cleaner
brush.
The other item is an electric
garbage disposal unit which can

merely flushed away with hot
water.

Prices Go Down

Another headache facing used
car dealers is the reduction of
the las is" price by 4 per cent
on Jan. 9, next. This automatic
cut is provided for in the used
car price regulation, which calls
for reducing prices on used cars
every six months.
The 0PA advisory committee,
in a recent meeting in Chicago,
asked for an amendment which
will suspend this reduction.
OPA will calculate new prices
and release the list by Dec. 9.
