Additional Price Cuts
On New Cars Likely
In Next Few Weeks
By Dovid ]. WiIkie
A.seeiossd Press Av.omo.ive sdl,o,

LIE MIL April Ignore Price
cuts will be made by the auto in
dustry over the next few weeks.
This isn't just one mans opin-
ion. It's the belief Of many indus
try chroniclers and not a few top
industry executives.
Earlier this year it was said in
industry circles that prices had
about reached their high point.
There was no suggestion, however,
that sharp reductions were in
prospect
But new orders during the years
first quarter fell far behind ex-
pectations. AS a result several
car makers realized they were back
in a competitive market almost
overnight. And every auto manu-
facturer is thinking in terms of
lower retail prices.
Which company will be next to
reduce its price tags is anybody's
guess. The fact General Motors
reduced its prices several weeks
ago doesn't preclude a further cut
among Its divisions.
Called Token Cut.
The $40 to $40 reduction by GIN
late in February has been referred
to in some industry circles as a
token" cut.
The WHY'S Overland and Kaiser
Frazer reductions were of sub
stantial size, wiping out one or
two earlier advances. They were
made. Of course. for competitive
reasons.
It Is an historic fact that the
sar industry never cuts prices
when demand exceeds supply.
WHY'S and Kaiser-Frazer had very
definitely reached the competitive
stage Of postwar merchandising.
Several other companies face the
same situation in the piling up Of
heavy field stocks Of unsold We
hicles.
Industry optimists say these
big field stocks will disappear
when normal spring demand gets
under way. The realists disagree
with that view. The industry. they
say. will have field stocks from
now on.
Where price cuts have been
made easier supply Of materials
generally has been given as the
reason. The materials situation
has improved greatly and the our
look Is better than 1t has been
since the war.
But maintaining q steady
stream Of materials into the fac
tories Is a difficult task. The
smallest kind Of a labor dispute
In a supplier plant can disrupt
production.
Chrysler Output Hampered.
This has been demonstrated re-
peatedly since the car industry
resumed peacetime production
July /. 1945. Chrysler. just getting
into full output of new models,
felt 1t this week.
A strike caused shortage of car
frames stopped Chrysler's Dodge,
De Soto and 1Chrysler Division
operations.
The $198 to $3.50 Kaiser-Frazer
price cut brought Joy to the COM
pany's 1900 dealers. They long
had been complaining high prices
hampered their sales opoportu-,
mites.
Because K-F has had q stable
field stock the price cut was not
wholly unexpected. But while the
company made money last year it
was not one Of the industry's
heavy earners. After paying some
$4,000, 900 in taxes and all other
costs 1t had a 1913 net of $10,-
362, 09S.
That was on an output of 1871 900
cars.
So nobody expected the price
slash would be nearly so deep.

Southern Teachers
Vote To Admit
Negro Graduates

(Taken from the Phoenix GaZette)
Seven out of ten who replied in
poll, of Southern college teachers
Negroes to graduate from profess
sional schools without segregation,
Aubrey Williams of the Southern
Conference Educational Fund said
Sunday.
He added in a statement issued
here that 3,375 replies were re-
ceived in the poll of $4,000 teach
ers.
He said the survey reached 1S1
schools in Ia Southern and border
states and the District of Columbia.
Williams is president of the fund,
which conducted the poll. It has
offices in New Orleans.
In only two of the states polled,
he said, was the vote less than so
per cent for the immediate end of
such segregation-39 per cent in
Mississippi and 49 per cent in Ala
bama.
Williams said the four choices
given voters, and the number of
votes cast for each, were as fol-
lows:
A-Open existing graduate and
professional schools to Negroes
without segregation-2,358 GO per
cent of the votes cast).
B-Open existing gra d u e
schools with segregation--85 g per
cent?.
C-Build new graduate schools
for Negroes-79 q per cent?.
Establish regional graduate
schools on a segregated basis "as
outlined by the Southern COVER
nors' conference"-853 (25 per
cent?.
Williams said ballots were
mailed to staff and faculty men,
bers of accredited colleges and uni
versities. He said II major state
universities were omitted because
they were covered earlier in sep
arate poll that produced almost
identical results.
