Pelican Mentor Raises Set? .For 3 Aurf m WASHINGTON, March 12 (AP) A ClO-United Auto Worker, official blasted today at OPA' plans for new-car price increases, saying this meant "not a bulge In the price line but an explosion." "If OPA," said Donald Montgomery, UAW consumer counsel, "plans to give price increases to the auto industry, then they'll be dishing them out by the bucket." Montgomery made these statements to a reporter after OPA announced that higher prices are on the way for Chrys ler, Ford and Hudson cars. These companies applied for in creases to offset pay boosts granted under the administra tion's wage-price formula. Milk, butter and gasoline also are on the list of items on wnlch pressure is being applied to ufA ror mgner prices. . Until the new car prices are announced for the three firms, they and tfteir dealers must continue to sell cars at current ceilings, but they can require an agreement that customers will pay the increase when it i put into effect. An OPA official who asked to remain anonymous estimated that the price hike for manu facturers probably would not exceed 3 per cent (or $45 on a $1500 model),' and he predicted that dealers might be required to absorb part of It. Dealers prewar profit margins already'' have been trimmed by OPA to prevent the full amount of earlier increases irom being passed on to the public. Least entitled Montgomery said that "of all industries, the auto industry is least entitled to price In creases." . He said OPA apparently was ignoring a provision of the poli cy which requires OPA to take into account an industry's pros pects - for increased production and lower costs. , "The... auto industry," Mont gomery; declared, "is going to have to work hard to make less than it did in 1936-39." , The stabilization formula re quires a level of prices which assures at least 1936-39 profits.
