today to ask Gen. de Gaulle to
renew his efforts to form a coali-

The Communists voted as bloc
against renewal of Gen. de Gaulle's
mandate in an atmosphere hristling
with guns and armed guards sur
rounding the Bourbon palace, where
the Assembly met.
The vote ended, temporarily at
least, any chance of Gen. de Gaulle's
giving up his post as Frances in

Automobile Industry!
Reaction 10 Price
Ceilings Awaited
List Is Mode Public
As GIN Unions Meet to
Consider Pay Strike
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Nov. 19.-The auto
mobile industry's reaction to
newly-announced car price CELL
ings was watched today for its
bearing on events to come in the
auto wage dispute.
OPA's announcement Of retail
price lids came as 200 union dele
gates from General Motors locals
across the Nation met here to con-
slider strike action against the In
dustry's largest producer.
While General. Motors and other
manufacturers were Withholding
formal comment on the OPA action
pending receipt of oficial price lists
they have emphasized for several
months that any sizable wage in
creases would have to be offset by
higher prices.
Countering the CIO United Au-
tomobile Workers strike-backed de-
mand for an industry wide 80 per
cent wage increase, General Mo-
tors has made several proposals for
pay increases ranging up to 10 PEI
cent. On each occasion, however
the corporation has reserved the
right to decide for itself whether
compensating price increases should
be sought.
Dealer Discount Rate Cut.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said that, apart from in
creases based on design and en-
| Igineering changes, manufacturers
lpriees would be 'less than 31a per
cent above 1912 levels" The dealer
discount rate was reduced 2h per
Icent to keep retail prices down.
Although Ford prices will be up
about per cent, Chrysler about /
lper cent and Studebaker approx
mateiy per cent, he said. prices Of
General Motors cars will be cut an
average of 25 per cent.
The possibility that these price
cuts might prevent General Motors
from extending its wage offers cast
a new angle into today's union dis
cussions.
The GIN local delegates will not
have the final say-so as to whether
or when strike shall be called, but
their sentiments and counsel will
weigh heavily on any decisions by
the unions Strike Strategy Com
mittee. The committee, which will
participate in the conference, has
been empowered by the UAW-CIC
Executive Board to call walkouts
when such action is deemed advis-
able.
Management spokesmen said
strikes, mostly in suppiier plants
already have caused producers tx
revise downward their anticipated

Says Goal Won't Be Reached.
George Romney, general manager
of the Automobile Manufacturers

ton of SOC, 600 cars monthly by next
June was based on estimates by the
individual companies last August.

CHUNGKING, Nov. 19.-Chi-
nese Communists declared today
their sympathizers were ready to
seize Manchuria's capital Decem-
ber l to forestall a Nationalist
Army that had plunged IL miles
into the vast industrial region
from the south.
A Communist spokesman said
crack American-equipped National
ist troops were pouring into Man-
churia through gap ripped in the
Communist line with the fall of the
frontier fortress of Shanhaikwan.
Other Nationalist forces had
famed out 30 miles west of Shan
hawikwan, hf asserted, but despite
the reverses communist troens were
determined to fight it out :, he way
to the capital of Chan n, 44O
miles northeast of Sham van.

ent Olen Clements in ,,spatch
from Tientsin said the =. een-clad
Nationalist columns were mush-'

against only sporadic fire after
smashing the main Communist
defense line along the Great
Wall.
(He reported that 5000 Com
munist troops were in retreat to
the northeast in the bitter cold
of Manchuria to avoid being out
nanked by the swift-moving
columnS)
Communists Land From Junks.
The Communist spokesman pre-
dicted that ''the first big battle" for
Manchuria would be fought at the
railway city Of Chinhsien, 100 miles
northeast of Shanhaikwan on the
Peiping g-Mukden railway.
Chinese press reports alleged Com
munist troops pulling out Of Shan
tung Province were landing along
the Manchurian coast from junks,
and that their comrades also were
ready to seize the industrial city of
Mukden, south Of Changchun, the
moment the Russians withdraw.
The Communist spokesman said
sympathetic popular" troops were
ready to take over Changchun when
the Russians pull out around De-
cember l, but insisted these forces
were not attached to the famed
Communist 9th Route Army, now
deployed for the struggle in Man
churia.
The China Times professed to
have learned that important diplo-
matte negotiations" over Manchuria
would take place soon either at
Chungking or elsewhere"
Conversations Continue.

clared that although Nationalist
government representatives had
withdrawn from Changchun, con-

over the occupation of Manchuria.
He refused to say who the "some
