Transport of the Pacific Trans
port Lines.
Shipments can’t even be drop-1

Auto Prices Will -
Go Up Despite
Govt. Order
WASHINGTON, (/P)— Refusals
by two large automobile manu
facturers to hold off announced
price increases have clashed head
on with an administration warn
ing that it “can and will roll back
prices” if necessary.
General Motor sand Ford told
the government Friday night they
cannot comply with a request toy
Alan Valentine, economic stabil
ization chief, to withhold increas
! es set up for their 1951 models.
President C. E. Wilson of Gen
eral Motors said that the new
price tags—$60 to $80 higher on
Chevrolets—are reasonable “con
sidering what has happened to
wages and the way raw materials
prices have skyrocketed with in
creases ranging from seven per
cent to 300 per cent since our 1950
cars were priced.”
President Henry Ford II, of the
Ford Motor Co., telegraphed that
“We cannot comply with your re
quest.”
Americans ate an average of 80
pounds of beef, 70 pounds of pork
and six of lamb and mutton in
1948.

Harry Gold, Red
Spy, Gels 30 Years
PHILADELPHIA, (;P) —Harry
Gold, dark haired research chem
ist, Saturday was sentenced to 30
years in prison as the self-con
fessed courier o fa Russian atom
ic spy ring—a crime he told the
court was a “terrible mistake.'*
Gold was sentenced by U. S.
District Judge James P. McGran
ery to two terms of 30 years each,
ti run concurrently. He was
charged with espionage in war
time, which carries a maximum
penalty of death. The federal gov
ernment recommended 25 years
in prison.
The soft-spoken 39-year-old
Philadelphian received the sen
tence calmly after a brief state
ment before the bar. He said:
‘‘Northing has served more since
my arrest to prove to me what a
terrible mistake I made than the
manner in which my court-ap
pointed counsel have worked on
my behalf, despite personal criti
cism and invective.”
Gold, who will be 40 years old
tomorrow, pleaded guilty to act
ing as a go-between in delivering
atomic secrets frcrm Dr. Klaus
Fuchs, confessed British spy, to
Russian agents.
