Atomic Bomb Discovery May Force
Rebuilding Of Famed Panama Canal
New Fords Will Retail
AT 2 Per Cent Advance

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. -tP}-
The OPA announced tonight that
retail prices for new Fords, Chrys-
ler-built cars and Studebakers will
be up one to nine per cent over
January, 1912 prices. Retail prices
for General Motors cars will be cut
an average of rs per cent
Price Administrator Chester Bow
les said that on the average prices
the public pays for new cars will
be no higher than those charged in
January 1912"
This, he added, does not take in
to account some price increases
based on design and engineering
changes.
The retail price increase for
Fords will average about two per
cent, Bowles said, while Chrysler
retail ceilings will be up about one
per cent and Studebaker approx
mately nine per cent.
Bowles said that manufa cturers'
prices, apart from increases due to
specification changes, will be in
creased on the average less than
IL per cent above 1912 levels"
The OPA chief rejected dealers
demands that they be exempt al
together from having to absorb any
of manufacturers price increases
resulting from higher production
costs.
Bowles announced however, that
dealers discount margins will be
uniformly trimmed by only 2.5 per-
centage points. He had indicated
earlier that the pre-War average
discount o. "a per. cent might be
cut by 4 or 5 percentage points
The only actual ceiling prices an
nounced were for Ford and Stude,
baker. Others will be made public
"as soon as final details can be
worked out" Bowles said.
This is the picture he gave for
various makes of new cars:

about 25 per cent below January

To Waterway

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-(R-
Discovery of the atomic bomb
may force rebuilding of the
Panama Canal.
This possibility was disclosed
today by the House Merchant Ma
rine committee.
The group said in a report that
the advent of atomic bombing
threatens the canals security.
To meet the threat, the COM
mittee has approved a bill calling
for study of whether a rebuild
ing project should be attempted.
If the rebuilding is to be done,
the idea would be to eliminate the
locks, which are particularly
vulnerable, and make the canal
sea-level waterway.
The study also would consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of enlarging the
canal to allow aircraft carriers
and '1arger vessels of the future
to go through. Even now the larg.
est carriers can't make it ano

fuse to show it. Granted that such
would be the case l have a sugges-
ton to make. Let the various inter-
racial groups, the NAACP, Urban
league, also the Catholic and Jew
ish societies conduct a financial
campaign to underwrite any pos
sible loss which the movie mag
mates might suffer in presenting
such a picture.
Perhaps you wonder at my sug-
gesting that Catholic and Jewish
groups help underwrite movie de-
picting the raw deal handed the
Negro by hateful southerners. Well,
it would be a test of their sincerity
in the cause of a minority group
other than their own. And it would
be a good investment for them, be-
cause a movie showing the brutal
ity of the Ku Klux south would put
a dent into the activities of the
Klan in other sections of America
where it promotes anti-Catholicism
and anti-Semitism.
By the way, Hollywood has
guessed wrong before in estimating
the possible financial returns from
certain pictures. Little did the
movie magnates dream that Going
My Way and A Song For Berna-
dette, both distinctly Catholic pic
lures, would draw so we'll at the box
office. These two motion pictures
didn't need any support from the
anti-Catholic southerners to be-
come smashing financial successes.
