THIS VMS HEADLINES OPA Administrator Chester Bowles announced Monday the long awaited ceiling prices for 1946 automobiles. Previous announcements had stated prices might be somewhat higher than In 1942, but the statement this week said that prices would be approxi mately the same as of that year. Some lines of cars will be the same, as a slight increase will be permitted other manufacturers. Under the new order the auto dealers will have to assume some of the increased costs of the cars by having their commis sion cut from 24 per cent to 21.5 per cent At the present time only Ford and Chevrolet are showing cars, but other lines are expected to reach deal ers' show rooms shortly. Twenty top-ranking Nasig went on trial this week at Nuernberg for j ..t.i." u aga world's first trial, where leaders of a nation face chartres for starting a war. There is a likelihood the trial may be postponed after it opened due to illness of the Russian prosecutor, but the Allies are determined to put the matter through to a finish. Washington is still considering the evidence arising from the hearing on the Pearl Harbor attack, but little real news is coming from the discus sions. About the only point brought out to date is the fact that U. S. authorities foresaw the war with Ja l i.i r pan was coming sooner or later. To date the hearing at Washington has placed the blame for the attack on no individual. Fighting continues in the Far East, where British forces are at war with natives, who desire to form an 'inde pendent government, and".( divorce themselves from Dutch rule Unrest is reported in the Middle East, where Jews are hoping to obtain the long promised land of their own. Condi tions within Europe are not good. France is having trouble organizing its government, and food is short everywhere. Black markets are rag ing in! every country, with the Ameri can cigarette as the chief bargaining litem. President Truman proposed to Con gress this week a eompulsosy health insurance system for all persons who work for a liyjng. The plan would assure medical aid to all persons and d in building up the health of the tion. The vlan would work on basis whereby the Government would pay part of the cost of operation. , Japan received another order this week when General MacArthui- in formed the Japs they must disband ik.l.

Despite this good showing for Per quimans, the local chairman appealed to the residents of the county to con tinue the purchase of E bonds in or der that the entire goal can be ob tained by the time the drive closes on December 8. He said, "We have made a good showing thus far, but we are still a long way from our goal. We need another $27,000 worth of sales in E bonds if the county is to be counted among those who achieve their quotas. We have an outstand ing record in the sale of war bonds and we must not let down this time. "The bonds that are being bought in this Victory Loan drive are going 1 toward helping to win the peace by bringing our boys back home, provid ! ing the wounded and ill with hospital ization. Certainly, we must put this . . (inve over the same as we did the others." Mr Ri(1(ick added that the sale of tn,asury typc homls during the cam- the entire E bond goal has been sold. The local committee urges every body to buy that extra E bond now, to help put Perquimans at the top in the race for first place in the E bond campaign in North Carolina.
