3 TEXANS DIE IN STORMS New Car Prices Due For Another Increase Boost In Steel Prices Causes Latest Rise Added Cost Will Be Passed Along To The Public The Associated Pressi WASHINGTON, May 20-Prices new cars, already boosted because of higher wages, are going up again this time an average of four to five per cent to offset costlier steel and, parls. Disclosing this today, a high OPA official told a reporter privalely that the hike probably will go into effect within 10 days. Hope It Will Be Last He said OPA hopes this will be the last of the aulo price increases required under the administration's liberalized wage-price policy. Under it, retail prices for most cars were boosted from $1 to $60 in March and April to compensate for wage insrenses granted in the industry, Figuring an average of five per cent, the new increase will add $60 to the price of a $1.200 car. However, the hike for autos in this price range may be less than the average.

Public Will Pay In any case, the entire increase will be passed on to the public. OPA has said dealers' profit margins will not be trimmed any more. One of the principal factors behind the new increase is the average boost of $5 a ton for steel which the government allowed last February when the industry increased wages conls hourly to settle the steel strike, The auto industry also is paying higher prices for materials. other, olher main reason for the imminent auto' price increase is the higher cost of parts to car makers. Ceilings Were Removed Price ceilings on most new auto parts were removed several months ago.

OPA has stated it expected some increase and that it would have had to authorize higher prices it cellings had been mainlined. official said the agency had to make the car price increases required under the wage-price policy in two stages "because it takes longer for the higher costs of parts and to "show up than it does wage These two increases for wages on the one hand for parts and materials on the other have blasted OPA's 1945 predictions thal 'new cars would cost the public no more than in 1942, Lubbock Bond Issues Voted Saturday's clection to vole 000 in bonds for highway right of way apparently carried by 24 votes, unofficial study of complete returns from the 26 voting: precincts showed this morning.
