WIN NOMINATIONS (By United Press) Sen. Walter F. George won renomination for the U. S. Senate in a quiet holiday Democratic primary in Georgia, while Rep. John Rankin was assured of re-election to a twelfth term in a Mississippi election, returns showed today. Democratic nomination is tantamount to election in both states. Principal j interest centered In Georgia where election officials refused to permit negroes to vote, a move which will mean a court test of the state’s white primary. In Atlanta several negroes appealed at the vetting booth.s and quietly withdrew as they were refused ballots. Similar efforts to vote were made probably by negro leaders ini Augusta, Columbus and other cities. The plan for the negro leaders to make a "taken effort" to vote had been worked out earlier with white officials.

Strickland, Indiana OPA district director, has announced the appointment of an industry advisory committee that will cooperate with OPA in the administration of the new used car price regulations. Mr. Strickland made the following statement about the u*>d car regulations and the conditions that led up to the establishment of ceiling prices. "Beginning July 10, 1944, specific dollars and cents prices will go into effect on twenty-three makes and about six thousand models of passenger automobiles manufactured from 1937 through 1942. Cars older than 1937 models may not sell at higher than those established for the nearest comparable 1937 models. “These prices apply to sales between individuals and to sales to or by dealers. However, two types of celling prices an? set for each model and body type—an "as is" price and a "warranty” price. All individuals ind others who do not maintain re pair services must sell at or below the "as is" prices. Dealers having repair services may sell at either the "as is" prices or at the "warranty" prices. In selling at the “warranty" price the dealer must supply a written guarantee that the car is in good operating condition and will remain so for thirty days or one thousand mltes whichever occurs first. In the sale of a warranted car the dealer may add twenty-five per cent of the "as is" price or $100 whichever is higher. The dealer, if he cares to lo so, may, of course, charge less han the “warranty" price but he :annot charge more. Dealers and inlividual sellers may add certain naximum amounts for accessories, ’’or example, $10 for a heater, $30 or a radio. For each sale the buyer ind seller must jointly fill out a transfer certificate and the buyer must turn this in to his local war price and rationing board. The buyer :annot get his gasoline ration until 1e turns in the certificate. Local boards will review the information on each certificate to determine whether regulations have been observed. "Ceiling’’ prices of used cars will Jrop at the rate of four per cent ■ach six months beginning January 9, 1945. This is in line with trade practices. ‘Penalties are provided for violation of the regulations. Any person sellirfg a car at a price above the ceiling price Is liable to a suit for treble damages, that Is, damages to the extent of thru? times the overcharge and also will be liable to 1 criminal prosecution," 1
