THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA OREAUTOSARE 'CRUSHED BY AR FILM AT | AVAILABLE FOR RATIONING NOW| i | The number of new automobiles | available for rationing this year is' about 60,000 larger than the 340,000 | originally indicated by manufact- | urers' reports, an official count by | the Office of Price Administration shows. Passenger car figures received by OPA in a close count of inventory show 399,565 new cars in the hands of dealers, distributors and manu- facturers as of February 11, 1942 This is in addition to the Govern- ment “pool” stocks held by them The inventory has not yet been completed and the final count of non-pool cars probably will exceed 400,000. The 340,000 figure which until now has been used as an inventory of new passenger cars (over and above the estimated 140,000 held in the Government pool for military needs and rationing in 1942) was arrived at on the basis of reports by manufacturers. These reports in- cluded inventory figures submitted to the manufacturers by dealers, some of whom, it is thought, may have understated their stocks in the hope of getting more cars. | Check-up on the original figure for the pool car inventory also is under way, but returns so far are not sufficient to indicate what change, if any, there may be from |the 140,000 total now used as the | number of new cars in the pool. The passenger cars which had not been {shipped by the manufacturers prior to January 16, 1942, to an agency other than one controlled by the {manufacturer. Hence, the original count is considered more likely to i be accurate, and no such variation as was shown in the case of non- pool cars is expected. Up to March 31, 1942, about 41,- 000 cars had been released under rationing certificates from the non- pool inventory of approximately 400,000 new passenger automobiles.

Starring Ray Milland, William Holden, Wayne Morris and Brian Donlevy, and introducing with stir- ring effect the new sensation of | the screen, Veronica Lake, about| whom we all have heard so much, and featuring Constance Moore, the new air film was produced by Ar-| thur Hornblow, Jr. and directed by | Mitchell Leisen.
