FIGHT IT OUT

By NEWELL ROGERS

NEW YORK,

DYNAMIC 66-year-old Henry J. Kaiser, whe built hundreds of wartime Victory ships for Britain and America, throws down a motoring gauntlet to dynamic Henry Ford II., now 31 years old.

Kaiser, already America's fourth largest car maker with his £553 Kalser and £613 Frazer, announces that he will produce a low price car to compete with Ford's £373 saloon.

Kaiser already runs an industrial empire extending into 28 industries. His company has £8,750,000 in the bank and makes 1,000 cars n day.

"But he still has a long way to go before he overtakes Ford, who last week made 2,648 cars daily, plus 1,087 tractors and lorries,

And Ford has an acò in the hole. His de- signers are working on an even less costly model for the day when the soller's market ends.

Whoever wins, America's little man will bless Kalser and Ford if car prices come down. Detroit's car makers have almost priced them- selves out of the market for the little man.
