r THURSDAY, NOV. 22nd, 1945 THE NEWS-JOl'RNAI, RaEFORD. N. C . rtC.K SEVEN Some War Prisoners Return ToGermany Thirty Prisoner of War Branch camps in the seven southeastern states have been closed and 12 more are scheduled for closing in the next two or three weeks, reducing the PW population by some 21,000 from the peak figure of last June, according to Major General Edward H, Brooks, Commanding General. 4th Service Command. In the past 45 days, some 8.000 have been shipped out of the Ser--vice Command as requirexents for their labor harvesting crops have been reduced. The sick and wound ed prisoners are being repatriated and, upon arrival In Germany, will be sent directly to their homes. For the able-bodied prisoners it is sim ply a change from a prison camp in the United States to a prison camp overseas. Their work is not finished. With some 69,000 PWs remaining in the southeast, -there is sufficient prisoner labor to handle the remain ing harvests. Prisoners are picking cotton in Mississippi and wll be en gaged in this harvest for another month. In other areas of the ser vice command they are gathering corn, pecans and sugar cane, in ad dition to pulpwood and other labor where civilian labor presents a shortage. In Florida citrus fruit har vesting is starting wth PW labor relieving the civilian labor short age. u The Army now authorizes retire ment after only twenty years' service. Men who reenlist in the Regular Army are still entitled to mustering out pay from the Army of the United States. Good Reasons For Used Car Prices, OPA Says Ceiling prices for some new autos will be less than present ceilings on comparable 1942 used cars, OPA acknowledged Tuesday. There are "good reasons" for this, an OPA official said in commenting on a congressman's criticism of high er prices for used models. The official noted that when used cars were brought under price con trol in July 1944, used 1942 autos were given the same ceiling as those applicable on February 29, 1944, to new cars still in the ration pool. Those new car ceilings were con siderably higher than the March, 1942, price levels at which they had been fixed originally, the official said. The reason: Dealers were permit ted to increase the ceiling by one per cent each month to cover storage charges. This meant that 24 ltionths of stor age charges had been added through Feb. 29, 1944. It was at that price level that ceilings for used 1942 cars were pegged. Here's an exa'.r.ple of how this worked out: The ceiling on a new Ford V-8 deluxe tudor in March, 1942, was $850. By February 1944 it was up to $950, (west of the Mississippi river it was up more in accordance with traditional price differential.) Thus the ceiling on the same model used car was $950. At present It is $912 because of a four per cent cut for depreciation. The retail ceiling announced Sun day for the same model 1946 Ford is $882, which is less by $30 than (f01 with a good book... m a m arc 3 II I Atlmdit Cnmfimrni.tetfitt in Attomt.

Only Ford and Studebaker new car ceilings have been announced, and at present, only Ford's lend themselves to this kind of compari son. The OPA official said, however, that some other new autos probably will have ceilings less than these t on comparable 1942 used models. Special Victsry Bond to Honor Late President Washington, D. C.
