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."

OFEICER HELD AT
McMlnnville, Ore.. 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.
