Their racket was based on the
manipulation of dining car and
liquor checks. In some instances,
the waiter took orders orally and
failed 20 submit checks. while at
other times they left blank checks
on the table and no pencil, thus
diScouraging customers from writ

.nounced today that new house

and aluminium kitchenware will be
back in the stores this fall" al

Bowles said that manufacturers
will be required to label the pots
pans. skillets, washing machines
and ironers with their retail cell
ing prices.
MODELS TO VARY
Models will vary in style anc
price. however. as they did before
the war.
BASED on a thorough study
Of industry costs, we are con-
fident that nearly all consumer
durable goods can be returned
to the civilian market at pre-
war prices or very close to it,"
said Bowles.
He estimated that output OF
washing machines should reach
prewar levels this fall and that
shoppers should be able to find
them in the stores in quantity
by the end of the year.
"The picture Is pretty much
the same for aluminium Kitchen
ware" Bowles continued.
Production Of ironers will
come along more slowly and
won't be as large as the output
OF washing machines until some
time after Jan. l."
100000 NEEDED

told housewives TO expect some
electric washing machines BY

ing was issued that only about

Ferguson's was the first official

pany. headed by Henry Kaiser,

The senator's announcement

Kaiser, like Graham Paige

tinued TO show lack of interest in
the plant which housed a major
phase of the firms wartime opera

Willow Run was built on Ford
property, but title to the real
estate passed to the Defense
Plant Corp. while the bomber
plant was under construction.
Henry Ford has said that, insofar
as the company he founded is
concerned, Willow Run is "ex-
pendable."

Prices Fixed
On New Cars;
.FordUp 14%
BY SILER FREEMAN

The automotive industry
today was handed it's new
prices on 1916 models by
representatives Of the OPA.
The formula was given to
each company individually.
The increases in prices ranged
up to I4.4 per cent. The move had
a great effect on the stock market,
early prices of automotive stocks
soaring one to Eve points.
It was understood that the Ford
Motor Car Co. received the 14.4
per cent increase over 194x prices.
FORD PRICES UP IA PCT.
Setting of prices on new models
is expected to accelerate produc-
ton plans of the passenger car
builders.
Ford company has been in pro-
duction since July l but at a slow
pace because of the OPA's failure
TO set prices.
Other companies. too. have been
marking time, waiting for an indi-
cation of what price tags they
could put on their models.
J. S. Clements. chief Of the
price branch of OPA, and his as
siStant, Fred Holder, visited the
Chrysler Corp. and the Ford Mo-
tor Co. first. They were due to
confer with Nash-kelvinator exc
ecutives this afternoon and the
Hudson Motor Car Co. tomorrow
morning.
GM INFORMED YESTERDAY
General Motors was informed Of
the price ceilings yesterday.
The original plan was for
Chester Bowles, OPA chief. to an
nounce the automobile pricing
| formula from Washington. Indi-
cations now are that this will not
be done until Clements and
Holder have completed their tour
of the plants.
1t was significant that Chrysler,
the first on their list to be visited
this morning, scared 5 points after
the stock market opened.
Most companies are expected 10
withhold their price lists until
competitors announce prices.
The 10 per cent plus 1912 prices
constitute the ceiling which OPA
will permit.

Heir>Conditioning

Having . baby these days brings
many / problem In Its wake other
than that Of deciding whether the
name has to be Clinton Just because
that's grandpa's name-and you love
grandpa. One Of the biggest is sim
ply assembling = layette (trousseau
for the neW-born)-A matter that
used to be sheer fun and usually
postponed until about two or three
months before the big event. Right
now-in the face of shortages-the
only mothers who manage to accu-
mulate bedding, clothes and other
impedimenta are those who do their
shopping even before the heir Is ap-
parent. One Of the local stores
prides itself on the fact that it never
lets q mother down-if she Just al
lows three months to collect her
needs. e
But before we 60 into our routine
on baby shopping, We have to let you
In on one of the funny stories born
Of last years scarcity in baby stroll
ers. A fond mama ordered one OF
these "sitting-up" strollers for her
sprout when 1t was about seven
months old. Some IL or Is months
later, the order came through and
the store called her. A small voice
answered the telephone and piped,
Just 4 minute-I1l call Mommy. !"
When ''Mommy' heard the import
OF the message, she said to the
caller, "Weu, that's the young man
for whom I ordered it. But send it
along anyway. I'm having another
and If I take this carriage, I'll be
sure to have It," Things are much
better these days on the carriage as
sembly line and the stores are doing
a good job Of keeping essentials
rolling in. But It's still 4 good idea
to give the store-and yourself
break and order early.
To get back to that layette busi-
ness, we won't 20 into details Of
how many of what you need because
any good store will give you that in
formation-and most won't try to
oversell you these days. AS 4 gauge
we'd suggest that you remember
that any sensible layette starts with
four shirts, four gowns and four
wrappers. That's all . baby really
needs. and since q baby never wears
out what you buy, it's silly to buy
more than he needs. Thus, If the
store suggests six Of everything these
days, cut down on everything else
they suggest.
When it. comes to furniture, q
bathinette and crib are the only
"musts." Any chest-or even 4 few
drawers-wili hold almost anything
he'll need. II wartime housing makes
it necessary for the baby to share
his room-and you don't want 4
bathinette around, you might try
quilting the top Of an old chest and
then waterproofing 1t. This will give
you all in one piece 4 working sur
face rs well rs storage space. A can
of paint and . RUNE tackled on could
take care Of the pretty angle II you
insist.
To help combat shortages Of help,
and clothing, you might try some Of
