|Ciivi|ian Jeep.
Costs $1,000

WASHINGTON, July 81 CUP)-
The first civilian jeeps are ready
for the market-at a cost of
$1,000 fob. Toledo, plus taxes.
The OPA today set this ceiling
price for the new peacetime
counterpart of the military vehicle,
OPA also disclosed that the new
jeeps have been rolling off assem-
bly, lines at the Willys-Overland
plant at Toledo, O., several weeks.
Three hundred jeeps were manu-
featured there this month, it was
learned; more than 5000 are
planned for August. and almost
10000 by the end of December.
OPA explained the ceiling price
for jeeps would be somewhat
higher" than the prewar selling
price of light passenger cars. The
jeep, it was explained, "basically
is not light car but rather a
four-wheel drive, half-ton truck
designed for utility trucking and
farm and country use"
James F. Brewniee, deputy price
chief, said the ceiling price, after
allowance for extra cost of the
four-wheel drive compared favor
ably with prices on one-half ton
trucks that carry only two-wheel
drive"
He said the jeep was priced "as
new product in the automotive
truck field and that the pricing
action was mot connected in any
way with reconverSlon pricing OF
new 1945 passenger cars
The dealer, OPA said, may
make "the usual additions" to the
basic retail price - including the
federal excise tax of S46.53. trans
portation from factory TO dealer,
charges of up TO $50 for preparing
the vehicle for delivery and any
state or local taxes that may be
assessed on the sales.

Truman Gives Reporter Lift, Asks Him to Say
Hex Like to Have His Door Open to Every One

I travelled with Mr.. Truman dur
ing his campaign for the vice presi-
dency. He always was going out Of
his way to do reporters favor.
This morning I was standing in
the driveway at the rear of his
apartment house when he came
down to enter an automobile guard
ed by the Secret Service
President Truman spotted me, and
waved me over.
Come on in, Tony" he said, "let's
get started"
That's the kind of 4 fellow he is.
He Is also the kind of fellow who
says he won't be pressured," and he
is expected to turn to advice to some
of his closest friends-former War
Mobilization Director Byrnes, DEM
ocratic National Chairman Robert
e. Hannegan, and 37-year-old At
torney Hugh Fulton.
Mr.. Truman always insisted he
gave his full support to Mr.. Byrnes
for the vice presidential nomination
last year until the latter was turned
down by labor and party leaders.
Mr.. Hannegan is the man whose
nomination as commissioner of in
ternal revenue Mr.. Truma helped
to engineer last year. Later, Mr..
Truman helped him get the party
craftsmanship.
Mr.. Fulton's case Is different. Yet

there was a plaintive note in his
voice, I'D have them all come In

The door to Mr.. Truman's vice
presidential Office at the Capitol was
always wide open and people came
in droves to shake his hand-re-
porters, old war "buddies" and
countless others.
There were always school kids,
privates, yeomen and folk of every
description.
I'm going to miss all Of that"
Mr.. Truman said.
And he meant it, for President
Truman likes people. He enjoys
talking and joking with them.
Particularly, the President said,
he will miss seeing the boys of the
old 129th. They were always drop

Evening star., 1945-04-13
BY ERNEST B. VACCARO,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

Harry S. Truman asked me today
to let his old friends know that his
sudden elevation to the presidency
hasn't changed his neighborly spirit.
If he can't get together informally
with his pals-especially the boys
of the old 12sth with which he
served during the World War-it's
because of the duties of his new job
and not because he wants it that
way.
, The President asked me to pass
that word along as we rode to the
White House this morning from his
modest Connecticut avenue apart
ment.
