A dispute over the quality of vehicles assembled by the Kaiser-Frazer plant in Israel developed today with a charge by a Government official that the vehicles were 30 to 70 percent more expensive than comparable imports while their performance has been “most disappointing.”

The Kaiser-Frazer management promised a detailed reply.
