General Motors yesterday tele-

or 1851 Chevrolets, Pontiacs and
ICadillacs received after the order

However, virtually every Pontiac

before the order reached here.
A few dealers are delivering
them to customers at the price set
before the Government ordered
the roll-back. Each delivery is
accompanied with a letter, stating
that adjustment will be made if
prices are revised.
Still others are holding up de-

Cut in Use Of Tin
For Cans Ordered;
Substitutes Studied
20 Pct. Reduction in
February and March to
Aid Reurmument
By Froncis P. Douglas

The National Production Agency
today issued an order which will
mean less tin for tin cans. At
the same time the agency was
studying World War II orders
which saved tin by forcing the use
of other materials for containers.
Packing of food in glass. making
containers of fiber with tin tops
and bottoms, the use of black plate
steel with perhaps coating of
varnish-and other methods of
packing products are being con-
sidered. No plans are being made
at this time to resume the World
War II collection of cans to SAL
wage the tin coating.
The curtailment will have very
substantial effect on the manufac-
ture of costume jewelry.
The tin order announced today
to assure tin supplies for the re-
armament program, provides that
in February and March the use of
tin for civilian products must be
cut back by 20 per cent. While
producers of tin plate and other
tin products may not exceed in
January the monthly average of
their tin consumption in the first
half of 1850, this consumption is
to be cut to 80 per cent in the
following two months.
About half of the tin supply

the increased price. If there is
revision downward a refund will
be made"
The GIN directive told dealers
that disposition of the cars" on
hand prior to the freeze order
must be determined by you"
Another Chevrolet man said,
1--WE haven't done anything. We're
just waiting for some word and
are not assigning any orders"
Zone offices of Pontiac and
Chevrolet said it would be difficult
to determine the number of 1851
cars delivered here thus far.
Cumulative reports are received
by the zone offices on the 10th,
Goth and 30th of each month.
A few dealers were highly criti-
cal, as was General Motors, that
the Government should single
out" the automobile industry for
it's first price ruling. One said he
presumed it was GINS action to
force a freeze on wages as well.
Another, citing the high price
Iof eggs, asked pointedly. "Why
not there?" The Government has
said in substance I'VE had to start
somewhere"
Most indignant of the dealers
said this:
THE poor customer is lost in
the confusion. That's just what
Russia wants us to do-get con-
fused!"

President Truman limited today
that the Government may move
to force General Motors to lift
the suspension of sales of new
model cars, a step which was
taken in protest against the
recent freeze and rollback of
prices.

news conference what he thought
of GINS counter action in freez-
ing sales of all 1851 model
Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Cadillac
cars. He replied that the price
control law will be enforced.
He added that the price of GIN
automobiles will be set at what
