DETROIT. Nov. 11-(A!')—Gen- oral MlJt0l‘!'ll‘lIiO\lllCEd today an increase of $100 in the list price of all its passenger cu- models pro- duced and sold la the United Statel-

The Corporation said prices of all Chevrolet trucks also would be increased I100. The same tn- crease. Gena-oi Motors said. will bo applied to all corresponding models produced by tho GM. truck and coach division.

'I'lie not unexpected announce- ment. coming after a day-long meeting of General Motors execu- tives, said the increase would place G.M.'| prices "in a more reasonable relation to greatly increased costs of production"

Asked for comment on the GM. action, the Ford Motor Company which earlier had announced no price increase was contemplated quoted from a letter sent to 3.200 major Ford suppliers which said in part:

"There is plenty of justification for our raising prices at this tllne...hvwever, we feel that it is vitally necessary during this critical period of adjustment that all industry co-operate to avoid precipitous or unjustified increases in price."

Prom the third member of the auto industry's "big three‘. Chrys- ler Corporation. there has been no word on possible pricing cticn.

There was no immediate com- ment from the United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.) on the G. M. an- nouncement.

President C. E. Wilson cf Gen- eral Motors listed tbrgghreaaons for the price increase: " 1",

1. G, M.'s dollar volume of busi- ness in the third quarter of 1946, although "about the same" as the previous peacetime quarterly oeak of 1941, ms “not on a satisfactory basis."

2. O. Mia prices as set by the

Office of Price Administration "discriminated against General Motors."

3. OPA- had “osaumed" pro- duction would oqual that cf 1941 but because of basic materials shortages General Motors finds it "impossible" to achieve "any such rate of production at least during the next six months."

General Motors manufactures Cadi-llac, Pontiac. Chevrolet. Buick "and Oldsmobile cars.

At Ottawa, Prices

Board offl- clals said lt was "too early" to determine whether \ the General

Motors increase would have any effect on Canadian car prices. which are independent of Ameri- can rates and come under the ‘Board's price ceiling policy.

Members of the Charlottetown Branch of the Canadian Legion, several hundred strong. headed by the Band of the 17th Rocco Regt. paraded yesterday ln a drizzling downpour to do honor to fallen comrades in two World Wars.

The service at the War Memor- ial was simple but impressive and a large concourse of citizens rep- resentative of church and szate joined the Legion members in sol- emn tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice that freedom and Justice should prevail,

It was a moving scene as the two minutes silence was observed and the clear, shrill notes of a bugle sounded Last Post. Pings draped in tribute and the Legion Chaplain the Rev. T. E. Mat-Len- nan then recited the fourth stanza of Laurence Binyolvs immortal “For the Mullen":

years condemn; At the going down c-f the sun end in the morning We will remember them."

After the sounding of Reveille, the Rev. T. E. MacLennan spoke briefly, calling attention to the supreme sacrifices paid by the countless fallen and beseeching that the hearts of all men turn to
