NO INCREASE Seen
IN new CAR PRICES

WASHINGTON, Nov. Auto
mobile dealers said today OPA ap-
parently plans to allow manufac-
turers a price increase for new cars
and then require dealers to absorb
it.
This procedure is likely in order
to hold prices the public pays at
or close to 1912 levels, dealer rep
resentatives reported following a
day-long closed meeting with OPA
officials.
One industry official who asked
that his name not be used said OPA
had indicated that a price increase
for at least some manufacturers is
almost inevitable"

been put down on paper with re-
gard to what is now considered
"new navy policy"
Preliminary studies have re-
vealed that the Seabees caused the
most trouble" The coast guard is
considered exemplary, although the
marine corps has the feeling that
they have been doing the best job.
There is a recognition on the part
of the committee that much as
Granger had said earlier, the fur

DAYTON V-BOnds Sales Lagging

Dayton apparently was tagging
behind much of the nation last night
in volume of Victory Bond sales.
With volume of "E" bond pur-
chases far below expectations, lead
ers of the Montgomery County War
Finance committee late yesterday
were studying methods to overcome
the sales deficiency.
Fewer than 100000 worth of
"E" bond sales were reported late
yesterday. Total bond sales in the
first two days were only S1,802,510
against a required S1,000,000 daily
to meet the county quota.
One approach to increased bond
sales will be series of special pub
lie attractions, it was indicated.
These will include stage shows, mu-
sical programs and special attrac-
tions.
Possibility was seen yesterday
that one of the special attractions
here will be the bringing of Hit
ler's private automobile to Dayton.
The captured car is to tour Ohio
cities this month.

VET HOUSING CRISIS
GROWS; 81 BILL OF RIGHTS
CLAUSE ASSAILED

Dayton veterans, Cnelf wives
and children are being forced into
"door to door" house-hunting as
public agencies shake their heads,
unable to offer them homes.
City commissioners and housing
officials will meet in special ses-
sion at 2 p. m. Tuesday to discuss
the critical shortage here.
The conference was called by
City Manager F. O. Eichelberger at
the request of Mayor Frank M.
Krebs. The latter yesterday urged
immediate. action be taken to pro-
vide housing for Dayton's returned
veterans. C. D. Putnam, local
official of the Metropolitan Hous-
ing Authority, will be among the
group, and inquiry will be started
toward resuming abandoned federal
housing projects, Mayor Krebs said.
Effort should be made, he con-
tinued, to use the River Bend pro-
ject as temporary shelter for vet
Grams and their families. Although
currently residence for war
workers, it may be partly vacated
as result Of a recent personnel cut
back at Patterson Field.

but the term has been transferred
largely to returning GI's who want
a place of their own.
The situation is complicated
further by landlords refusing to
rent to veterans, Rev. Kemper G.
McComb, executive secretary of
the Church Federation, said yes
terday. He explained the G1 Bill of
Rights assures them of no evic-
tion notices for nonpayment until
the end OF SIX months.
"No landlord is going to risk six
months income to house a veteran
when he is certain of collecting
from other civilian residents" Mr..
McComb asserted.
The federation committee on
ministry to servicemen and women
will recommend to the veterans
bureau and the Office of Price Ad-
ministration to strike this clause
from the bill "for the veterans own
good"
"It is simply poor business to ex-
pect landlords to assume possible
results from this clause as it now
stands" Mr.. McComb continued. "If
they cannot be guaranteed of in

ment should be stricken from the
bill before it works further hard

$50 Skeletons Found
AT Abandoned Jap
Prison Near Davao
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WITH UNITED STATES Oath d.
VISION AT DAVAO, Mindanao,
p. l.. June 2 Delayed Officers
examining the Davao penal colony
abandoned by the Japanese reported
tooay that they found skeletons in
hospital beds. on the porch and an
untended walk overgrown by wild
squash. The neglect was so appall-
ing they recommended that the
status of 300 Allied soldiers listed as
MISSING in action in the Philippines
since Pearl Harbor be changed to
dead" or prisoner of war"
approximately $50 skeletons and
mummified bodies have been found
throughout the buildings and ada
cent areas.
Some of these have been identified
as Filipinos, but many are officially
recorded as Americans.
Deaths Caused by Neglect.
Evidence has been obtained that
the deaths were not caused by vio-
lence but by deliberate neglect and
desertion. 1t is believed that when
the Japanese Withdrew from the
coastal area of Davao to prepared
positions in the mountains they took
physically able prisoners and left
the remainder to starve or die of |
disease.
From records and other evidence
uncovered at the penal colony, off,
GERS have traced the history of some
800 Allied prisoners and as result
have recommended the change in
status from missing in action.
AS yet no figures are available on
how many are now listed as dead
and how many as prisoners of war
IN the Japanese homelands.
1t. Leonard S. Mendelson of Pitts
burgh who was one of the first to
visit the area gave this account of
the grisly scene:
There are number of wooden
buildings. Most are in good shape.
I went into one which l assumed
to be the hospital. In a long ward
room, I saw two corpses. One was
just skeleton. 1t was either un-
clothed or the clothes had mil
deWed and fallen away. The other
was mummifled and had on a baggy
shapeless uniform such as prisoners
might wear. Both were on beds.
Bones Scattered About.
"On the porch and the outside
walk, bones were thick They were
scattered and wild squash was grow
ing around and over the skeletons.
1t was almost impossible to avoid
stepping on a skull or other re-
mains.
Across the street in another
building, I saw another complete
skeleton lying on the floor In an
other building mans skeleton was
lying on bed and on the bed next
to it was a snapshot Of an American
woman and children.
"One man in my party said he
saw one skeleton kneeling in a
chapel"
Filipinos were living in some
houses of the penal colony. 1t has
not been explained why they did
not bury the dead or aid the sick
after the japanese left.
Near the colony, which is Is air
miles northwest of Davao, is a plot
marked American National Gene
tery-1942,' Mendelson said.
He counted 20 graves, all but one
of which were marked with name,
rank and date of death.
Most were officers" he said.
