Cadillacs, Callouses
Create Political
Quandry In Michigan
By WILLIAM B. KETTER
LANSING, Mich. (UPD—A
coalition of Cadillacs and
callouses behind George C.
Wallace has created a political
quandary for Hubert H. Hum
phrey and Richard M. Nixon in
Michigan.
Both are striving mightily to
get Michiganders to choose
between the Democratic and
Republican tickets Nov. 5.
But signs point to a sizeable
number of white-collar Republi
cans and blue-collar Democrats
joining Wallace’s third party
camp as the ballot showdown
nears.
Talk A Lot
“I talk to an awful lot of
people at the factory and a lot
of them are swinging over.”
That is the word from Roy A.
Kramer, 35, a local Wallace
chairman and employe at
General Motors' Oldsmobile
plant in Lansing.
Mr. and Mrs. John E. Wells
of Battle Creek, who drive his
and-hers Cadillacs, say they
find widespread sentiment for
Wallace among their business
and professional acauaintances.
"It’s amazing how this thing
is growing,” Mrs. Wells said.
She happens to be secretary
treasurer of Wallace’s Michigan
American Independent party.
Few observers, give Wallace
much chance to actually win
Michigan’s 21 electoral votes.
Most predict a narrow victory
for Nixon, who lost the state to
John F. Kennedy in 1960 by
66,000 votes out of more than 3
million cast.
Public opinion polls and crowd
reaction seem to show Hum
phrey as the unuderdog. But he
can look to some encouraging
factors in Michigan: A state
Democratic machine that is
pulling out all stops, solid
support from labor leaders, and
sizable backing from Negro
voters who have remained
faithful in the tradition of the
19405.
A big part of Humphrey**
Michigan problem is a Johnson
administration backlash. Sup
porters of Sen. Eugene J.
McCarthy refuse to scrap their
movement. They are planning a
statewide write-in campaign for
a slate of McCarthy electors.
LOADED LAUNDRY
MCPHERSON, Kan. (UPD—
A McPherson College junior
John F Tucker of Springfield,
N.J., was in jail today because
he misused a coin-operated
public laundry. Police said the
“load” Tucker dried in one of
the driers was a bag of freshly
picked marijuana. He was held
in lieu of $1,500 bond on a
charge of possession of an
illegal drug.

Another Auto Maker
Hikes 1969 Prices
By DAVID W. CHUTE
DETROIT (UPD—With Ford
Motor Co. and General Motor
Corp, closely aligned in price
hikes for the 1969 model cars,
attention today centered on
Chrysler Corp, whose average
SB4-per-car hike was well above
its competitors.
Ford Wednesday announced a
price hike on the new cars
averaging $47 per car, $2 below
the figure announced Monday
by GM, the auto industry giant,
and well below the price hikes
announced by Chrysler on Sept.
9.
GM's announced hikes, esti
mated at 1.6 per cent, drew
praise from the White House as
being properly restrained, a
reaction completely different
than that which greeted Chrys
ler’s announcement earlier in
the month.
As in past years, Chrysler led
off the pricing announcements
because it was the first to
introduce its cars in dealer
showrooms. In the past two
years, Chrysler had to roll back
to maintain its competitive edge
with the other two automakers.
GM cars went on sale today
in dealer showrooms across the
nation with Ford introducing its
cars to the public Friday.
American Motors Corp., smal
lest of the four major automa
kers, will have the benefit of
checking the prices of its

competitors before setting its
1969 price structure next week.
Ford said its $47 hike only in
part offset rising costs of labor,
materials, machinery and tool
ing. It also didn’t include the
cost of front seat head
restraints which will not be
required equipment under fe
deral safety regulations until
Jan. 1 but are expected to

upward, Ford said, because
models must remain competi
tive with similar cars of the
other companies. The prices of
the 1969 models, ranged from a
reduction of SB9 on the Mustang
fastback to an increase of $149
on the luxury Continental Mark
111.
Ford also announced a
downward revision of its
warranty provision, following
the lead of GM and Chrysler.
