Ceilings for Some New Autos
Below Those on AZ Used Cars

Those new car ceilings were con-
siderably higher than the March
1912, price levels, at which they
had been fixed originally, the off,

The reason: Dealers were per-
mitted to increase the ceiling by
per cent each month to cover stor-
age charges.
This meant that a. months Of
storage charges had been added
through February %, 1874. It was
at that price level that ceilings fol

break through in the south.
The China Times declared that
1000 Communist troops had en-

failed to say whether Russian oc-
cupation forces still were in the city.
The Times also asserted without
confirmation elsewhere that new
conferences between China and
Russia on the tense Manchurian sit

Moscow or Chungking.
Unofficial reports in Chungking
said the Russians had laid down

With these well-equipped, Ameri-

the United States.
The United States is converting
China into IAN American colony"
the Communist Daily News charged.
The activities of the American
forces have enraged all patriotic
Chinese, the newspaper asserted. It
compared it with the imperialism"
of the British in India, French in
1ndo-China and the Dutch in the
Netherlands Indies.
Noticeably, the criticism was is
sued swiftly after the other Chung
king papers had reported the over
night Nationalist advance along the

The Nationalists occupied the
railroad town of Suichung, IS miles
