CHAINGED: Filibuxtor Chrysler. cuts car pricersa U.S. ambassador Ball - 'Aft lwfll% JLJLJLCL LUIA X* UX tIq ILXiVX DETROIT (P)-Chrysler Corp. drastically slashed yesterday its previously announced 1969 auto price increases which had drawn criticism from President Johnson. The Chrysler rollback brought its new price tag increases vir- tually into line with those of its two major competitors, General Motors and Ford Motor Co. It marked the third year in a row Chrysler led off the industry new car pricing parade with in- creased prices, only to roll them back when GM and Ford came along later with smaller price hikes. 4 Chrysler figured its original boost at an average of $84 per car in the list price of the new 1969 Chrysler line. The revised figure came out at $52 a car, close to the $49 figure announced by General Motors and For'd's $47 in- crease in its list price per car. * The list price does not inglude federal excise taxes, dealer new car preparation and handling, state and local taxes and shipping charges. Chrysler's brief statement tsn- nouncing its revised price . list made no mention of why the ac- tion had been taken. The cut- back had been regarded in auto- motive circles as a foregone con- clusion since GM and Ford cane up with smaller hikes. American Motors is slated to announce its new car prices on Monday. Chrysler said, "Most of thel prices announced last week have been reduced and some increased to 'maintain, a competitive posi- tion in each car line. Some prices of optional equipment also have been revised." John Riccardo, Chrysler group vice president, U.S. and Canadian automotive, said the prices "re- flect only part of the substan- tially increased costs or material and labor." The firm also made additional revisions in its warranty program which was changed Sept. 11. The 1968 model warranty included a five-year or 50,000 mile guaranty for the engine and power train components and 24 months or 24,000 miles for the rest of the car, exclusive of tires which are covered in a separate warranty with the tire manufacturer. Chrysler on Sept. 11 cut the latter warranty clauses to 12 months or 12,000 miles. In another change Thursday, it said that the second owner of a car could get the unused portion of the five year, 50,000 mile war- ranty if he registered the car, and paid a $25 fee and ifAthe car had been properly maintained. The first $25 of such warranty work would be paid by the second owner. Chrysler board chairman Lynn A. Townsend, asked in a recent interview, about the possibility that Chrysler might have to make a third consecutive price rollback, said only that Chrysler enjoyed being the first of the new cars into the marketplace and , the ability to gets its '69 sales under way before other competitors got into the marketplace: continues r 'reS WASHINGTON (P) - An op- ponent of Abe Fortas for chief justice said today that more than a majority of the Senate may vote against cutting off debate on a motion to take up the controver- sial nomination.

Ball as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and named Washington Post editor James Russell Wiggins to succeed him. Ball said he plans to join the campaign forces of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, the Demo- cratic nominee for president. He will become the foreign af- fairs advisor for the campaign organization. "I have taken this step so that I may devote all my time and energy between now and Nov. 5 to help assure the election of Hubert Humphrey and the defeat of Richard Nixon," Ball said in a statement issued at the State De- partment simultaneously with Johnson's announcement. Johnson called reporters to the White House Cabinet room to give them the news personally-and - he sought to make plain that Ball was not quitting out of disagree- ment with administration policy. "I have accepted with reluc- tance the resignation," Johnson said. . "As you see from his announce- ment of his resignation, it has nothing to do with policy-but with politics." Ball, 58, was a long-time un- dersecretary of state during the Kennedy administration and the Segarlier years of the Johnson ad- ministration. / He returned to public service last April when Johnson named him to the U.N. post, succeeding Arthur J. toldberg. Goldberg is also assisting in the Humphrey campaign. n During his five years at the State Department, Ball gained a e reputation for arguing within ad- d ministration circles for some poli- cies that differed from the posi- s tions adopted. But he was active a and loyal in carrying out his as- r signments once policy had been - set. e Johnson praised Wiggins whom r he termed a citizen of high dis- t tinction who stands for integrity t in the newspaper world and who will bring high qualities of -udg- - ment and compassion to the U.N. e ambassadorial position. P There has been speculation in r Washington that Ball was in line s for possible appointment as sec- d retary of state should Humphrey win the election. -- returning by popular de- mnand for their lost Ann Arbor performance before leaving for their tour of the East Coast singing contemporary, tradi- tional, and ORIGINAL folk music accompanied by guitar.

Salazar, 79, was in an oxygen, tent at Lisbon's Red Cross Hospi- tal. His chances of survival were regarded as slim.

Speaking at the birthplace of the United Nations, Humphrey said if he were elected, "I will do everything in my power to place international peacekeeping sol- diers in troubled areas rather than American soldiers." "Nowhere would a United Na- tions' peacekeeping force be more welcome than in Vietnam to ad- minister free elections and verify withdrawal of foreign troops," he added. The vice president, outlining what he called a "new strategy for peace," and new guidelines for U.S. foreign policies, pledged the United States can and shall have peace.

The figure means it cost $12.19 last month to buy the family goods and services that cost $10 in the 1957-59 period on which the index is based. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said last month's rise in living costs more than wiped out August wage gains of some 45 million rank and file workers. "It would appear that the con- sumer price index will continue to go up" the rest of the year, said Asst. Commissioner Arnold Chase, making it almost certain 1968 will wind up with a total rise of 4 per cent or more. While this would be the-steepest climb in living costs in 17 years, it is far less than the 8 per cent jump in 1951 before the govern- ment clamped on wage and price controls. There has been no sign the government contemplates,any similar controls now. In major price categories meas- ured by the government, housing and clothing rose five-tenths of one per cent each last month, food climbed four-tenths of one per cent, medical care and recre- ation were up three-tenths each and transportation two-tenths.
