took exception to the chairman's
ruling that he would recognize
only Yugoslavia at today' ses

a softened peace.
The Soviet delegate took the
floor after the Yugoslav Delegate

Byrnes said he would rec
ognize Yugoslavia today to

SUTTON. England. Aug. 1 UP)
When they buried James Gib
son, a London merchant, 200
years ago, body snatchers were
numerous and active in England

father' remains would be taken.
To prevent this she set up a
fund for an annual inspection of
the tomb to determine that the
bones remained unmolested, with
a robed choir boy carrying the
key to the tomb on a velvet

Dealers To
Profit From
Ceiling Hike
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (VP)
OPA today raised retail pric
ceilings on new automobile
an average of 7.3 per cent
first part of the Increase re.
quired by the new price control
law.
The increase, effective tmma.
diately on all models, meet a
requirement that OPA restore
the peacetime profit margin of
auto dealers.
On four-door sedans th
only examples cited by OPA
today's increases range from
0J on a Chevrolet rleetmas
ter to $293 on a Cadillac.
On a Plymouth deluxe and -Ford
deluxe the increase is $73,
while on a Buick series 40 the
price hike is $96 and on
Chrysler Royal $99.
Practice Outlawed
Dealers' profit margins had"
been cut by OPA to prevent
the full amount on increase
previously granted manufac
turers from behind passed on
to the public. Congress out
lawed this cost absorption prac
tice. Still another increase under
the new law will be put into
effect soon. Opa officials e
iimaiea to reporters this may
amount to about 5 per cent to
offset restoration of dealers'
pre-war handling charges,
which also have been trimmed
by OPA.
Today's increase was the
fourth general price hike above
1942 auto ceilings granted
since last November. The first
covered production cost in
creases up to last fall, the sec
ond wage increases early this
year, and the third higher parts
and materials costs resulting .
from the steel price boost last
February.
OPA made no official esti
mate of the total average in
crease to date over 1942 ceil
ings, but an official said it
probably is in excess of 15 per
cent.
