U. S. Bans Sale of Autos, Trucks Continued irom. the First Page Nelson said action would be taken to permit completion of conditional sales, chattel mortgage and similar automobile-purchase contracts if delivery was made prior to today. The orders also will be amended to permit repossession of cars under such contracts in accordance with laws governing such repossessions.

Officials said, further, that it was possible that additional modifications might be permitted to cover particular hardship situations. The program, contemplating cessation of production, was submitted to S. P. A. B.

by the O. P. M. civilian-supply division, and will be discussed with representatives of the automotive industry at a meeting here on Monday. Today's order came unexpectedly in view of reiterations from the civilian-supply division as recently as two days ago that its plans for January automobile production did not seem likely to be changed.

The lend-lease administration last Monday suggested to S. P. A. B. that production of passenger automobiles be halted to insure adequate supplies of tires to fill orders from foreign governments opposed to the Axis.

At that time S. P. A. B. officials said the board would not act on the proposal until it had been approved by the Civilian Supply Division, and asserted that tires would be made available for lend-lease purposes in whatever quantities the Administration desired.

Nelson's order provided that a "passenger automobile" under terms of the ban meant a 1942 model passenger car or any automobile which has been used less than 1000 miles. rump 35c, back of rump 49e: rib 29 32c; bottom round 43c; chuck 33c; lamb legs 29c. lamb forequarters 1516c; pork loins 216i' 23c; freth pork shoulders 25c.
