Auto Makers
Still in Fog
On 40 Prices

WASHINGTON, Aug. % 1NS)
The price of the new 1916 auto
mobiles was anybody's guess to-
day-and any rumors are un-
founded that the ceiling for any
make or model is now definitely
known.
Furthermore. II Is impossible at
this time for any one to say what
changes in present ceiling prices
IF ANY-will result.
OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles made these statements to-
day in announcing that Detroit
automobile manufacturers were
now working on proposed ceiling
prices for new cars which will be
submitted to OPA for approval.
PRICING FORMULA
The pricing formula, Bowles
said, was given to auto manufac-
turers at Detroit last week.
Bowles did, however, predict
that prices for the new cars would
be the same as for 1912 cars.
'1t is a fair assumption" the
OPA chief declared. that the
public is unlikely to pay more
for most new models than the
present ceilings on the 1912
mOdelS-minus the special
charges that were allowed be-
ginning early In 1912 to cover
added costs to dealers from
rationing."
Bowles said detailed rules of
the formula would be embodied
in a price regulation TO be issued
today or tomorrow.
INCREASE UNLIKELY
Bowles said that 1T seems un-
! likely to me that there will be
any general increase in the fac
tory level of automobile prices. F"
However" he added, "OPA'S
reconversion formula is to be
applied by each manufacturer
on the basis of his own expert
ence.
THE facts will tell the story.
IL any ceiling increases are
called for by our pricing rules,
of course they will be granted"
Here, however, Bowles pointed
out that if an increase in factory
prices become necessary, OPA
next would see whether all or
part of this increase could be rea-
sonably absorbed by automobile
dealers, thus preventing a rise in
retail prices over 1912.
