Drops
Priorities
For

OTTAWA
(CP)
Reconstruction
Minister
Howe
announced
in
Commons
today
that
regulations
governing
the
sale
of
new
passenger
cars
and
trucks
has
been
recinded.
The
Minister
said
that
the
sale
of
cars
to
priority
holders
had
not
worked
successfully,
so
that
the
plan
was
stopped
recently.
The
sale
of
new
cars
and
trucks,
Howe
said,
can
be
best
handled
by
normal
trade
channels,
but,
he
added,
this
does
not
affect
the
price
celling
on
the
vehicles.
Since
July
1,
priority
certificates
for
the
purchase
of
new
cars
have
been
Issued
only
In
exceptional
cases,
but
the
sale
or
delivery
of
cars
has
been
restricted
to
persons
already
holding
priorities.
With
the
action
announced
tcilay,
dealers
will
be
