0PA'S LIST Permits
Few Comparisons on
.'42 and '46 Car Prices

BY the Associated Press.
Only a few comparisons of 1912
automobile price ceilings and those
for new cars can be made on the
basis of OPA's announcement Of
yesterday.
Ford and Studebaker thus far are
the only companies to receive spe-
cific ceilings. And the ceilings COW
er only few models built by these
companies.
For other cars, OPA simply gave
overall percentages of increase or
decrease without relating the per-
centages to individual models.
In the case of Ford, here are the
comparisons which can be made:
De luxe eight-cylinder-Tudor
sedan, 1882 is the retail ceiling price
at the factory, as compared with
$3.50 in 1912; Fordor sedan, 1891 as
compared with $685.; three-pas-
senger coupe, 1884, as compared
with $815.
Tudor Sedan Up S45.
Super de luxe 8-cylinder-Tudor
sedan, s940, as compared with 1895;
Fordor sedan, 1889, as compared with
$3.50; sedan coupe, S977. as compared
with 1920: 3-passenger coupe, 1891
as compared with $3.50.

Police Seek to Solve
Mystery Of Soldier
Found in Lot

A Fort Meade soldier, found un-
conscious and bleeding from more
than 80 stab wounds and slashes,
battled for his life in Walter Reed
Hospital today while police sought
to unravel the mystery of the attack
on him.
Identified from fingerprints as
Pvt. Frank H. Roberts, 80, of Hosch-
ton, Ga, the soldier was found semi
nude in a vacant lot at Fourth street
and Neal place NE. early yesterday
morning.
Taken first to Casualty Hospital,
the soldier regained consciousness
long enough to tell police he had
attended a party in the 4100 block
on Fourteenth street NV, far from
where he was found.
Cuts on Throat, Face.
Wearing only regulation Army
shirt, Pvt. Roberts was suffering
from shallow wounds over the face,
head, throat and body, apparently
inflicted by knife. Police said his
throat was cut from ear to ear and
another slash appeared on his alb
domen.
Adding to the mystery was the
fact that the soldier still wore his
wristwatch, causing police to doubt
robbery was the motive
David Ennis, special investigator,
and Detective Sergt. A. D. Clarke of
the police homicide squad began
checking on Pvt. Roberts actions
Saturday night and investigating
the party he said he attended.
Found by Cab Driver.
The soldier was found by John
Hudson. 1884 Thirteenth street NE,
a cab driver, and Gordon T. Ward of
Crisfeld, Md. They told police they
were attracted by the feeble move
ments of the man.
Police who answered their sum-
mons found the soldier lying face
down in patch of weeds. About
$50 yards from the scene a pair of
bloody Army trousers was found
along the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks near the New York avenue
overpass.
A few feet from the soldier were
a pair of khaki socks and bloody
shorts. A fountain pen and blood
stains found on Fourth street near
the body led police to believe a
struggle had taken place there.
At Walter Reed Hospital, where
Pvt. Roberts still was unconscious
in an oxygen tent, it was said he
had a $3.50 chance to survive.

Women's 'sCIub Leader
Says Universal Draft
will Strengthen U. 5.

Universal military training will
give the United States power to
deter aggression and strengthen the
United Nations Organization in its
fight for lasting peace, Mrs. La Fell
Dickinson, president of the Gen.
eral Federation of Woman's Clubs,
said today.
Speaking as an individual, Mrs.
Dickinson told the House Military
Affairs Committee that:
The maintenance of we'll
trained citizens reserve, capable OF
quick mobilization in time of emer-
gency,5 would not indicate, as Some
people contend, a lack of confidence
in the United Nations Organization
On the contrary, the efficacy of the
international organization, upon
which the world depends to main.
tain peace, rests ultimately on its
collective power to put down ag-
gression. The very existence of such
power will in itself be a deterrent
to any would-be aggressor. In order
to fulfill its commitments under the
United Nations Charter, the United
States must remain strong"
U. S. Saved by Time.
Mrs. Dickinson led a group OF
women from the Citizens Commit
tee for Military Training of Young
Men, Inc, testifying for one year
of training as recommended to Con-
gress by President Truman.
Mrs. Dickinson declared that twice
within the past Is years the United
States has been unprepared for war
land both times it was saved only
because it was granted time to mar
shall its human and economic re-
sources"
In the future an aggressor will
strike with instruments of destruc-
ton so swift and terrifying as to
defy imagination" she declared.
Would Benefit Youth.
A year of training will benefit
young men by giving them "a sense
of national responsibility" Mrs
Dickinson declared.
Mrs. Lula E. Bachman of Detroit
president OF the National ASSocia-
ton of Women Lawyers of the
United States and a member of the
Citizens Committee, declared she
had received numerous letters from
women whose husbands or sons had
been wounded or killed in war,
urging preparedness and military
training during peacetime
OF $500 women in Michigan who
were asked their views on universal
training, Mrs. Bachman said only
seven opposed the program.
Her son, she said, had spent three
and half years in the Pacific and
had been on torpedoed ship.
Women generally oppose war,
but women generally, particularly
mothers, believe that the Congress
must provide universal training If
the Congress has the right to draft

Mrs. Eugene Meyer, wife Of tho
publisher of the Washington Post,
who recently completed a study Of
social conditions in various sections
of the United States, will be the
guest speaker at the annual dinner
meeting of the Alexandria Council
OF Social. Agencies on December 81.
The Rev. Fred v. Poag. president Of
the council, said Mrs. Meyer will dis
cuss "The Road to Community Re-
organization"
Wallace Hughes, recently appoints
ed executive director of the Alex
andria Council of Social Agencies
and Community Chest, said he be-
lieves Mrs. Meyer can contribute
greatly to the "reconversion" Of
Alexandria's social agencies because
she has spoken with emphasis and
clarity on the need for recognizing
advances in community social plan
ming, and Alexandria can benefit
greatly from the research she has
been doing"
Mr.. Hughes, who came to Alex
andria in September from Okla
homa City, where he was serving as
Red Cross regional director. said
Alexandria's agencies must be
streamlined in the postwar era to
avoid overlapping so that con-
tributors' and taxpayers money will
go further
Discussing his plans for a welfare
reorganization, Mr.. Hughes said
quick action for veterans aid Is
prime consideration. He believes
that the city's health agencies must
be co-ordinated to avoid duplica- =
tion of effort, and that room must
be made for additional agencies in
health and child welfare.
The function of the Council Of
Social Agencies. he believes, is to
advise the public of the city's needs
and what can be done to meet them,
and to convince that same public
that it is its responsibility to recog-
nize and support those private
agencies which are filling the gaps
left by public agencies.
Mr.. Hughes blames Alexandria .
lack of interest in its Community
Chest agencies on a lack of knowl-
edge of the functions they perform.
