AUTO SALE RULES
WRITTEN BY OPA
Washington, Oct. 8. U.R
The Office of Price administra
tion acted to halt discriminatory
practices by new car dealers
and assure eligible purchasers a
"first-come, first-served" chance
to get an automobile.
It outlawed the prevalent
practice by which dealers re
quire a trade-in by a prospec
tive eligible purchaser. It was
a major step toward counteract
ing the extreme high prices now
prevailing on the used automo
mile market. A regulation
which reportedly would estab
lish ceiling prices on used cars
is still "in the works." OPA
spokesman said.
