Auto Prices Expected
To Hold Present Level
As Last Firm Raises
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

DETROIT, Aug. 27-With S45 tn
more than $225 added to the price
tags Of new passenger cars manu-
factured throughout the automobile
industry, producers indicated TODAY
that the line would hold for the
rest of the year.
But prospective buyers, eyeing the
price boosts announced yesterday bv
the Ford Motor Co. and Studebaker
Corp to complete the round of in
creases, wondered II the manv
changes contemplated for 1948
models would send the cost of their
new cars still higher.
Studebaker, last of the makers to
mark up prices, announced from
South Bend, Ind, last night that
$50 to Sis would be added to its
car and truck models.
Factory list prices on Studebaker
Champion passenger car models
were raised $85: Commander mod
els, 500, and the Land Cruiser model,
sll5
The action followed by only a few
hours Ford announcement of in
creases ranging from $86 to $229 on
Lincoln, Mercury and so-called Ford
luxury" models. Sunday, the Ford
concern, which earlier in the year
had cut its prices, announced boosts
of $62 to $50 on Ford standard
models.
Other recent price increases-all
attributed to increased manufacture
ing and material costs-include:
Chevrolet, $57 to $40 on standard
models; $170 on station wagons.
Plymouth-s75 to $55 on popular
models, $3.50 on special de luxe,
station wagon.
Hudson-$45 to SOS; Cadillac
s66 to s165; Packard-s92 to 5000.
Industry observers indicated that
extensive re-tooling planned for
1948 models probably would run into
millions of dollars and might mean
further advances in retail prices next
year.
Current increases, producers
pointed out, stemmed from an esti-
mated $50, 100000 added to annual
payrolls plus big advances in the
price OF materials, tools, dies and
other equipment.

|Mrs. Roosevelt Denies
She Regarded FarIeys
As Social Interiors
By the Asseeiated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt, commenting on re
cent magazine articles by James A
Farley in which he expressed doubt
of his social standing at the Whit,
House, says that "It never occurred
to me that Mr.. and Mrs. FARLEY
felt themselves in any group differ
ent from that which we were in"

With Roosevelt" a condensation o.

General will publish in February

zine.
Mrs. Roosevelt, writing in he,
question and answer column in the
Ladies Home Journal, says that 81
am deeply grieved to find that Mr.
Farley was not the person thought
him; or perhaps 1t would be better
to say that I am grieved to find
that Mr.. Farley has allowed himself
to be made the kind of personality
that Mr.. Trojan of the Chicago
Tribune would inevitably make
| him.
Correspondent Replies.
While the widow OF the four
term President did not further
identify Mr. Trojan, she appar-
emily referred to Walter Trojan OF
the Washington staff of the Chi
cago Tribune.
(Mr. Trojan, in Washington,
said: Mrs Roosevelt should
have waited, I think, until she
could read the whole book. ."
I am not making anybody any
kind of person. At Mr.. Farley's
order I am trying to gather his
material together. He has
okayed every word of the book
which comes from the words he
dictated at the moment. If she
objects, as I assume she does, to
the delineation of her husband,
that comes from his (Mr. Roose-
velt's) own words which were
taken by Mr.. Farley at his con-
ferences with the President.')
Mr.. Farley, former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
has said his relations with Presi-
dent Roosevelt were "basically po-
litical and seldom social"
"Out of the Infield."
He said in the magazine series:
Mrs. Roosevelt once said, Frank
lin finds it hard to relax with peo-
pie who aren't his social equals I
took this remark to explain my
being out of the infield.'
Mrs. Roosevelt says she is quite
sure" the remark could never have
been made by me, since I never have
had such thoughts"
Pointing out, however, that peo-
Pile with similar interests and be-
liefs" may find it "easier to relax"
Mrs Roosevelt continues:
"Unwittingly in some way, 7, who
was responsible for purely society
matters in the White House, seem
to have hurt both Mr.. and Mrs.
Farley. For that am deeply sorry,
but I feel I never treated them any
differently from any other member
of the Cabinet.
Carried Heavy Responsibility.
From my point of view, being a
member of the Cabinet meant that
you carried heavy administrative
burdens and were part of the whole
official family. The position would
not have been yours, unless you were
looked upon as man Of parts.
"Mr. Farley failed to understand
this. His tremendous emphasis on

years when the really important
things were the new policies on
social questions Of the day shows
that Mr.. Farley thought so little
of those objectives that he did not
even think them worth mentioning
in these first articles.
II have always liked and admired
Mr.. Farley and his special gifts and
capacities. I still hope that when
Mr. Trojan is through creating the
Jim Farley of these articles I can
find again the real Jim Farley whom
one could not help liking and ad-
miring."

CHARLOTTE, Dec. 6 - Bill
Kuhn and Doc Venters were
both on the bench when the ball
game started, and they were
both there when the Eleventh
Annual Shrine Bowl game
wound up in a IT deadlock, but
in between those time they both
played a large part.
Il used Kuhn on defense and
Venters on offense." Coach Bill
Ludwig said after the game.
"And between them they did a
great job on their assignments.
Venters was in on that one
touchdown drive we put on, and
he opened that hole at right
guard for the ball carrier.
Venters was used at strong
side guard on offense as an al
ternate for Bill Barringer, Lud-
wigs own guard from Salisbury,
and he shared time with the ALL
slater. Kuhn contributing to the
North Carolina cause in each
quarter, alternated with Reed
Dorset of Salisbury.
Kuhn had his share of honors
early in the ball game when he
jumped on a loose ball on the
North Carolina "a yard line aft
er Dick Brewer fumbled lat
eral from Gene Barmer of Cam
den. That stopped South Carolina
first threat in the game after
the Palmettoes had marched
from their own AZ.
1t was Coach Bill Ludwig's
second appearance in the Shrine
game as a head coach, and the
second time that he had been
deadlocked. His Tar Heel squad
fought to a scoreless deadlock
