0PA Lists Price
On First Jeeps
For Civilian Use

WASHINGTON, July 81. CUP) =
The first civilian jeeps are ready
for the market-at a cost of $1,000
fob. Toledo, plus taxes
The OPA set this ceiling price
for the new peacetime counterpart
of the general purpose car created
for the armed forces. OPA also dis
closed that the new jeeps have been
rolling off assembly lines at the
Willys-Overland plant at Toledo
Ohio, for several weeks.
Three hundred jeeps were manu-
factured there this month. it was
learned, more than 1900 are planned
for August and almost 10000 by
the end of December. OPA ex-
planned the ceiling price for jeeps
would be somewhat higher" than
the prewar selling price OF light
passenger cars. The jeep, it was eX-
planned. "basically is not a light
car but rather a four-wheel-driv
half-ton truck designed for utility
trucking and farm and country use. ."
COMPARABLE PRICE
Deputy Price Chief James F.
Brownlee said the ceiling price, after
allowance for the extra cost of the
four wheel drive compared favor
ably with prices on one-half ton
trucks that carry only a two wheel
drive"
He said the jeep was priced "aS
a new product" in the automotive
truck field and that the pricing ac-
tion was mot connected in any way
with reconversion pricing of new
1945 passenger cars
The dealer, OPA said may make
the usual additions" TO the basic
retail price-including the federal
excise tax of s46.53, transportation
from factory to dealer, charges of
up TO $40 for preparing the vehicle
for delivery and any state or local
taxes that may be assessed on the
sales.
HOW 1T WORKS
He also may add the following
dollar and cent ceiling prices for
extra equipment, totalling $34969:
Front body top, s5lO5; rear body
top, $28.44; draw bar for hauling
other vehicles, S691; governor to
limit speed, s2721; heater. Sl741:
pintle hook for use III hoisting Op-
erations. S40l; power take-off for
converting jeep's motor for use as
stationary engine, S9067; power
take-Off attachment for front,
S24.44; power take-Off shield 81 l93:
pulley in pulling stumps and with
lifting or pulling tackle, S5628; ra-
diatOr brush guard, SAIL; an addi-
tional front bucket-type passenger
seattle car comes deliyered with
single bucket seat for driver
SlO5l; rear passenger seat for TWO
persons, Sl296; spare tire and tube
S13.76, all subject to federal taxes.
OPA said it claSSed the civilian
jeep as a new product because the
company never before made a jeep
for civilian use. Some Of the mill
tary equipment on the army jeep
such as guards to protect riders from
wires strung across roads in war
zones, does not appear on the new
jeep. 1t had been designed in many
ways to bring its specifications into
line with those desired in a small
truck for civilian use

PRESIDENT BEGINS
BUREAU EXAMINATIONS

: The public has had several examples
of President Truman's Fortnight meth
DDS of going about handling the business
of the nation.
First off he lost no time in appearing
before congress to convey his plans and
determination in prosecuting the war
Without intimation Of the fears" that
change in leadership would slow up the
war efforts, the new President went to
the pith of the matter and his words
gave the nation the assurance, if it were
needed, that there would not be mo-
ment's interruption in the smashing blows
across the Pacific.
Next, he made changes in his cabinet,
startling the country by naming three
members from the west.
Now, without little preliminary talk,
he has isued an order abolishing gov
eminent bureau-the office of civilian
defense 1t freely is believed, and in
many quarters devoutly hoped, that this
is the start Of getting rid of number of
burdensome bureaus either by elimination
entirely, or by consultations.
In doing away with the OCD, the chief
executive has given indication that Pa
cific Victory Day is much nearer. For
some time it has been clear that this
bureau no longer was war necessity.
But even in view OF this widespread opin-
ion, the President was called upon to ex-
ercise courage
If, now the President will turn his at
tention to cleaning up the inexcusable sit
uation in the food supply administration,
he will draw fresh acclaim both from a
weary public anG an impatient military
administration.
He well might follow the growing
clamor in the land and a definite trend
in congress for some drastic action to put
the whole food administration as a SEN
sible, logical basis. Too many bureaus
and theorists have helped the kept situa-
tion to growing worse and worse. This
trend calls for either flood cZar" or a
single operative bureau whereby all the
various objectives and requirements will
be coordinated.
And in doing this the chief executive
not only would solve the problem, but
would set free an army of job holders
who have been living high and doing
nothing.

some 10000 trees already affected.
The bin was opposed by Assem-

that men would not be available for

vided

Announcement comes out of Sacra-

However, if it has required so long time

UNSEEN NETWORK
New York Times)

Ihe radio communications and naviga-
tlonal aids operated and maintained by
the army alrwayS communications system
have had comparatively little public no
tice, but they are the electronic nerves
and airway markers for intercontinental
air traffic. They extend from the train
ing fields and air transport terminal air
ports in the United States to the battle
fronts. They protect the routes over
which 100000 wounded and 56O,0 900 tons
OF high priority cargo mail and passen-
gers were carried last year 1t is only
because of this unseen network that it
has been possible for a military plane to
take off every fifteen minutes for flight
across the Pacific and every thirteen min
utes for Europe. Because of the COM
munications network it has been possible
in the China-Burma-Indi theater to send
planes over the Hump, in some of the
worst flying weather in the world, only
three and half minutes apart. At Sal
pan, control tower operators clear B-29s,
on the way home from pounding Japan
with bombs, into the landing strip every
twenty seconds.
The underlying effort which makes
possible all this movement has been dis
closed in part by Brig Gen. l. L. Farman,
commander of the AACS Every day
more than 100000 fiva-letter word
groups are filed over the systems point
to-point circuits. These operational mes
sages would require more than 1400 miles
of ticker tape daily. Control tower oper-
ators average more than 700 radio con-
facts with aircraft daily. and talk by
radio telephone with a pilot on an aver
age of every two minutes. If all the
principal navigational aids on the routes
protected, such as radio range and hom-
ing beacon devices, were set at equal
distance around the equator, a glob
circling plane would pass over one every
eighty miles.
Patient men keep tireless watch at sta
tions which range all the way from met
ropolitan centers to the rugged inland of
Labrador and Greenland and the equally
trying conditions of Central Africa and
the Himalavas. They fight special kind
of war They too deserve the nations
gratitude.

Writes Of
Prison Camps

Private First Glass Roland K. Nc
Carly. son of Mrs. Ettie McCarty of
463 Orange, El Centre, wrote his
small nephew, Archie McCarty,
description of what he sees in Ger
many.
McCarty is serving with san army
tank battalion medical unit station
ed in Markte, Germany. His letter
follows in part:
i am writing to tell you of an
experience I had a few weesk ago.
You know there are only 18 of us
medics in my outfit and 1 got lost
from the rest and the Krauts let go
with mortar fire and 1 had to crawl
in my fox hole and hide. Later it
got real coid and I thought 1 was
going to freeze to death before it
got dark enough for me to crawl
and get my sleeping bag
Last week We went on a trip into
| Austria where we visited German
prison camp and it was too horrible
for words. They had Polish, Russian,
and French prisoners and they were
sad sight to see. One French pris-
oner who could speak English, told
us all the food they ever got was
soup made from potato peelings.
There were dead all over the place.
They piled them up as high as the
ceiling with the ones barely alive
on top. They had an underground
tank factory there and the prisoners
were made to work till they were
too weak to walk. Then they lay
on cots, row after row of them watt
ing to die. When our boys took the
place over it had the most horrible
stencil imaginable. You see, after
they die they are cremated and they
| take their time about doing that
Nov some will get to go home but
there are so many that will have to
stay till they die. They are too far
gone to live. l know this is hard to
believe but I saw it with my own
| eyes.
Il know this isn't very nice let
ter but it is the truth as God is my
judge. Those prisoners were really
happy people and it made our hearts
feel good for the ones able to be
happy and sad for the ones beyond
help
1T is our job as medics to care
for the sick and wounded, SO you
see we are very busy
