TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday Aug. 28, I94S NEW AUTOS WON'T COST IRE THAN 1942 CARS, WORD JVIay Cost Even Less, Due To O.P.A. Curb on Special Charges Washington, Aug. 23 U.R) The government told Americans today that "reconversion" autos probably won't cost any more than 1942 models. They may even cost little less. Auto manufacturers were formerly permitted to add cer tain special charges to their 1942 pricos to cover added costs due to rationing. inese special charges won't be allowed under the office of price admimsira tion's new price formula for cars made during the reconversion period. The formula was announced Inst night by OPA Chief Chester Bowles. It provides for auto makers to compute their own price ceilings on the basis of their 1941 cost or proamnion plus wartime increases in labor and material Costs plus "a nor mal peacetime margin of profit." The profit may be either the manufacturer's own 1938-39 pro fit or one-half the auto Industry's average for that period, which ever is higher. Manufacturers were given the formula last week In Detroit and are now figuring out their own individual ceilings, OPA aid. When they are ready they must be submitted to the OPA fur approval. Bowles did not guarantee that the new prices would represent no advance over 1942 car prices but said It seemed "most unlike ly" that they would. He said if application of the OPA formula to manufacturers entitled them to increased ceil ing prices "of course they will be granted." 'Golden Gate In 48, BiadlinTin'r49,'-Facf or Fancy?

Aug. 28 (U.R) Police Officer George Eg gert is being held in the county jail today pending filing of for mal charges against him for shooling to death Pvt. George R. Yasic, 30, of Chicago. The district attorney is out of town, but county sheriff's offi cers said Eggcrt would probably be charged with manslaughter. Police reported that Yasic and his companion Corporal Jack Lee, both of Camp Adair, had engaged in three fights and were molesting shoppers before the fatal shooting Saturday night. When Eggert attempted to quiet the pair, they jumped him, beat ing the officers badly. Eggcrt escaped, called police headquarters for reinforcements and returned to hold the two Bol sters. They attacked him again, officers said, and Yasic knocked Eggert. down three times before the officer pulled his gun and fired. Yasic died an hour and a half later at the hospital. Salem district provost mar shal's officers Investigating the case said they would report to Washington that Yasic met his death while resisting an officer of the law. No military action will be taken. Corporal Lee, who was held following the shooting, has been released to military authorities.
