NEW YORK .W-How inflation

the application of eastern and
western railroads for another in

The new freight rate increase,

Will Come Off
Lines Oct. 1st
By DAVID J, WTLKIE
DETROIT tfi Chevrolet. Mo
tors Division, the world's biggest
car and truck builder, expects
another big year to 1957. Its new
models going on the assembly
lines on Oct. 1 will be lower and
longer and will have new styling
and major enemeerine advances.
Edward N. Cole, general man
ager, made these disclosures at
press preview of some hand
tooled 195? models Friday,
It followed by one day the 1957
model preview of Ford Motor
Co.'s Ford cars. The Ford cars
will reach the market on Oct. 3;
Chevrolet will take its 1957 lines
to the public about two weeks
later.
Implying Chevrolet expects to
advance prices, W. n. Fish, gen
eral sales manager, said he did
not think higher prices will have
any appreciable, effect on total
sales.
(Ford Thursday said wholesale
prices will be increased on Its
1957 models an average of 2.9 per
cent, or approximately $53 per
unit.)
Chevrolet gave no percentaee
or dollar averages concerning its
price plans tor 1957.
Cole said that In Chevrolet's 1957
line customers will be able to
choose from 450 combinations of
exterior color and body designs,
French Wait
In Breadlines
PARIS W Thousands of Pa
risians . waited restlessly in long
lfnes Friday to get their first fresh
bread staple of the French diet
since Wednesday.
The government ordered the re
opening of some 1,500 strike-closed
bakeries about, a third of the
total in the Paris area of five
million persons. The orders were
backed up by possible penalties
of a year in prison and a (ine of
1,200,000 francs ($3,428) for non
compliance. Many ol the bakers who did re
open adopted a new tactic. They
refused to sell their bread direct
ly and insisted the government
take over the distribution. The
government claimed it was not
equipped for that.
The bakers, most of them small
operators, demand that the gov
ernment raise the bread price ceil
ing of about 14 cents a pound.
The government opposes Ihe in
crease because It would send the
cost of living index up, raising
in turn minimum wages in a na
tion already suffering from severe
inflation.

both backwards and forwards.
Past increases in prices lay the
base out of which grow Mte
price-hikes.
The interrelation or steei and
the railroads is a case in point.
The price hiku in steel that fol
lowed the wage boost for steel
workers in August leads makers
ot freight cars to raise their
prices. Example: Pullman-Stand
ard is showing m Mew yore today
some freight cars with price tags
two to six per cent higher than
when the cars were first displayed
in St. Louis in July.
One of the reasons the railroads
give for asking a 15 per cent
freight rate hike is that their sup
plies will cost them more. The
roads were granted a 6 per cent
general freight rate boost last
March. Six eastern roads are also
askme for f 45 per cent hike in
first class passenger fares and 5
per cent in coach fares.
Railroads are only one of me
industries hit by the steel and
and aluminum wage-price boost.
Auto makers say increased steel
costs will be one of the reasons
for raising prices on the new mod
els. The steel price hike, plus wage
hikes of their own, has spread
through the farm equipment In
dustry, Deere & Co. is the latest
to hike prices by five per cent.
Television set sales haven I been
hot this year. But cost .pressure
is raising the prices. Latest to an
nounce is Westlnghouse Electric,
marking up 12. models by tm to
$29. ' .
Still more price increases may
be In the making as the latest
wage-price spiral works slowly

LOS ANGELES i-Police tried
today to discover the motive for
a mysterious crossbow and arrow
attack that left' a young liquor

sions In an effort to strengthen
him for surgery to repair a punc
