Cuts Auto Prices
DETROIT, (iP)— Kaiser-Frazer
Corp., already the industry’s
fourth largest producer, came out
yesterday with the biggest post
war automobile price cuts in a
bid to further improve its com

To speed its entry into a
“broader mass market” the four
year-old partnership comp any
shifted increasing control into the
family of industrialist Henry J.
Kaiser. Edgar F. Kaiser, son of
the co-founder of Kaiser-Frazer,
was elevated to president. He suc
ceeds Joseph W. Fraser, who was
given a newly-created post of vice
chairman of the board.
The price slashes range from
$18 on the standard Frazer up to
$333 on the Kaiser Special, the
company’s lowest priced car. They
are effectively immediately.
The price reductions were the
third iru the auto industry in little
over a month. General Motors, the
biggest producer, cut $10 to $40 |
off its passenger cars February 25 j
and up to $150 off its truck prices.)
Willys-Overland brought down i
its prices from $25 to $270 March
17.
Kaiser-Frazer, ranking behind
only GM, Ford and Chrysler in
production, said its latest action
would give “the public the lowest !
priced big cars in the world.”
K-F said its price cuts averaged l
in excess of lOVfc per cent. j

'Bevin, Ex-Picket
| Not Disturbed By .
| Eggs and Tomatoes
—
NEW YORK, (/F)—A group of
I voluble western European foreign
! ministers, arrived today aboard the
big liner Queen Mary to sign the
North Atlantic pact. A fellow
traveler was Russian deputy for
eign minister Andrei A. Gromyko,
i still saying “No.”
Eggs and tomatoes were hurled
. from a crowd of 500 pickets at a
! car bearing British foreign secre
■ tary Ernest Bevin from the pier to
i Pennsylvania station where he
I boarded a train for Washington.
He was one of four foreign offi
cials who will sign the pact there
next week.
Three pickets were arrested in
a push-and-pull scene with police
The pickets marched in noisy pro
test of Britain’s policy toward Is
rael.
Gromyko, who arrived to attend
the United Nations assembly, had
“no prediction” on what would
transpire there. He answered “no
comment” to reporters’ other
questions.
Other foreign office chiefs be
sides Bevin who arrived were Bel
gian premier and foreign minister ,
Paul-Henri Soaak, Dutch foreign
minister D. U. Stikker, and Lux
embourg foreign minister Joseph
Bech.
At a news conference aboard
the big liner after she had docked
Bevin declared the alliance was a
pact of solidarity which “should
prevent war for many generations
to come.”
He said the pact did not in anv
way undermine the United Na
tions, adding:
"I hope we can build collective
security through the United Na
tions—and that will come.”
Under security phases of the
alliance; he said, “if we were at
tacked, we could move very quick
ly.”
Asked if he talked to Gromyko
during the ship’s calm Atlantic
crossing, Bevin brought laughter
with this reply:
“I never disturb the ship and
cause any danger.”
The shouting pickets across the
street from the pier did not dis
turb him.
“I used to picket myself,” he
said.
Bill Munz arrived from Juneau
Monday with his family and is
busy getting his business affairs
and equipment in order for a busy
summer season.
He reports a very full session
and fine co-operation among the
members of the legislative group
of this division who endeavored
to do many things for the benefit
of the Second Division.
