Porter Sees Rise in Auto Prices if Amendment Voted

Washington AP Price Administrator Paul Porter warned that car prices would rise by about 85 dollars or more if the auto dealers amendment to the stabilization law passes Congress. He argued the measure would not boost production, only dealer margins, and cited expected increases for popular Chevrolet Ford and Plymouth sedans. Porter said the amendment would restore prewar margins and that assertions of diminished dealer margins are unfounded. He noted consumer groups worry about speed of price control removal but defended the pace as prudent, adding that major controls remain on food clothing and returning products like autos and refrigerators.
