Assail Strikes,
 Ask Price Hike

The auto industry, which staged a deliberate sit-dOwn strike following VJ-Day last September, is now trying to shift the blame for tagging production to President Tru- man.
 This was made clear in Detroit this week by Charles E. Wilson, president of General Motors, worlds largest auto manufacturer. Wilson, addressing press confer ence of 50 reporters gathered from all over the country, declared that the administration has mishandled the stabilization program and that as a result ''the stage is getting set for a new wave of national strikes for wage raises.
 C. M. Wants More
 Reporters almost laughed out loud when Wilson warned against strikes for wage hikes and in almost the next breath announced that GM would seek another price increase of $l00 despite the fact that GM auto prices have jumped more than S09o since their last model in 1941.
 Wilson's report was a sOb-story from start to finish. Continuation of government controls was described as one of the biggest threats to full production and he bemoaned "sup- pliers strikes" which he said have retarded output. Unions in the in- dustry have repeatedly pointed out that suppliers' strikes cannot be blamed for the failure of the indus try to meet its own projected pro. ductiOn quotas.
 GM, according to Wilson, will col lect an excess profits tax refund of $160,000,000 if the company's losses from manufacturing and selling amounts to at least $191 100000.
