Auto Dealers Can Now
Take Grievances Against
Manufacturers to Court
WASHINGTON, I*—President
Eisenhower signed a bill allowing
auto dealers to take to federal
court certain franchise grievances
against car manufacturers. But
Eisenhower said the measure con
stitutes only a partial solution to
the problem.
The 'bill was passed by Con
gress after hearings developed
testimony that dealers often had
been forced to buy more cars,
trucks and parts than they could
market thru normal sales prac
tices. Auto industry spokesmen
disputed the allegations and op
posed the bill.
The new law permits dealers
to sue in the federal courts for
damages, including legal costs,
growing out of the failure of a
manufacturer to “act in good faith
in performing or complying with
any of the terms of provisions of
the franchise, or in terminating,
canceling or not renewing the
franchise" with the dealer.
Under its terms, the manufac
turer also may raise counter
charges involving lack of good
faith on the part of the dealer.

Truman to Announce,
Choice of Candidate
Before Convention
CHICAGO, W!—Former Presi
dent Truman said yesterday he
will announce before the party
convention meets next Monday
his preference for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Truman told a news conference
he has not yet reached final con
clusion “but before the conven
tion meets I will have an answer
for you. . .
Asked if he is against any of
the candidates mentioned for the
nomination, Truman replied with
a broad grin:
“Yes, I am against me."
There had been some specula
tion Truman’s name might be of
fered to the convention if a dead
lock developed in the battle be
tween Adlai Stevenson and Gov.
Averell Harriman of New York.
In response to questions, Tru
man said “the platform should be
very specific and plain on civil
rights, as it was in 1948 and in
1952.”
