Tuei., Oct. 11, 1949 Auto Industry Is Preparing For Most Competitive Year DETROIT (IP) The auto in dustry, planning for 19.V), is pre panne lor its most highly com petitive postwar year. The car and truck makers don't know how great demand may be next year. They do know seasonal influences again are large factors in their business; they know the same sales lag that developed last winter al ready is in the making. Beyond that the Auto Indus try's Sales executive know the car buying public has become more selective. Buyers expect greater trade-in allowances and many are seeking discounts. Car sales statistics always are a few weeks old before they he come available to the public. Right now they show that from January through August this year more than 3,000,000 new Cassenger autcs were sold in the nited States.

But four and six weeks old fig ures mean little in the fast mov ing automboile industry. So all the car makers are planning to step up their 19.V) sales effort. Several are planning to offer a wider variety of models in a broader price range. For most auto manufacturers this will mean adding new mod els that can be priced lower than those currently available. They have plenty of medium and high priced range. Several producers In the mid lum price field report demand continuing at high levels. At the same time it Is no secret that, overall, demand in the lower price brackets is much steadier than In the other groupings. Demand Lower Price There has been Increasing em phasls on the production of low er price tags, of their present low-medium price models. There has been much specual lion about the plans of certain auto makers but it can be said there is no standard-size model automobile that could be deliver ed for $1,000 currently In pro spect. What is in much earlier prospect is the keenest sort of competition for business in the Chevrolet-Ford-Plymouth field. Many of today's medium-priced makes were available before the war at less than $1,000. To day most of them are selling for around $2,200. Some industry experts assert nothing short of a return to pre war production costs, including wages and materials, will bring back a standard-size $1,000 automobile. residential values.

That's the way it is. according to a German who said he "suc ceeded in getting away" from the communist brigades. His story was quoted in Allied - licensed western German papers. The man said he was resruited for the rebel army from a German prisoner-of-war camp in soviet Russia.

We had Italian Ber etta guns and German machine pistols of the 1942 type. They even supplied us with Hungar ian, Russian and Rumanian shot guns, manufactured around 1900. "There were about 15 different types of ammunition, and the one you were looking for was just 'sold out'." "We got good food In the Bul garian transit camp canned with American, Russian, Ger man, Hungarian and Rumanian labels.

But not all succeeded, and more than 430 of the Germans clad in Greek uniforms were killed I n action during the last two years.
