AUTO PRODUCTION
NEAR 1929 LEVEL
Output of 100000 Likely
in First Half-SaIes
Maintain Pace.
Ey the Associated Press.

DETROIT. May 6-Rolling along
at level comparable to the like period
Of 1929. the motor car industry is
heading for an aggregate production
OF 10000 cars and trucks by July !.
Present indications, moreover, are that
every one of these vehicles will have
sold" tag on it before it reaches
the dealers hands.
In the first four months of the cur
rent year the assembly lines already
have delivered l,350,00O units, despite
labor troubles that beset the industry
for the greater part of the first quarter.
There is no doubt anywhere in the
production division of the industry
that both May and June will be
600,00O-car months.
Coincident with the upward swing
in production requirements the in
dustry is continuing its investment in
new facilities. and while these to some
degree will increase manufacturing
capacity they are designed principally
to keep pace with changing conditions
or anticipated changes in manutactur-
ing needs.
Some competent authorities in the
industry have said that the practical
production capacity at present is
around $4,000 units a day. Most Of
the plants are working in three shift
schedules, but under pressure output
could be stepped up considerably above
that figure.
If the industry ever was under
pressure to increase output it is at
that point right now. with many
theusa nds Of untitled orders on hand.
1t expects to catch up with these
orders by maintaining assemblies at
the present level until well into the
Summer months
Until the assembly lines gained
near-top momentum during the last
few weeks comparisons with 1929
have been generally taboo in both
production and distribution divisions
Of the industry: the manufacturer
ano distributor almost invariably have
insisted that 1929 was abnormal in
every respect. particularly in the
production of 5,6OO,000 cars and
trucks and retail sales of 100000
The proper comparison, these au-
thorities have contended, was 1928
with its aggregate output Of 1901
IA units. They found, however, when
final figures became available. that
1886 surpassed 1928. with an assembly
volume of 4,6l6,657 vehicles.

OUTPUT A
4 OF OIL FEARED
Interstate Compact Chief
Warns Storage Gains
Must Be Halted.
Py the Associated Press.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 6-Ernest o,
Thompson. chairman Of the Inter
state Oil Compact Commission,
warned today against continued pro-
duction in excess Of market demand.
The Nation is producing about
100000 barrels more Oil each day
than for which it has a market"
said Thompson. a member OF the
Texas Railroad Commission we
must halt the increase in the amount
in storage"
1t did not seem logical to him TO
expect a rise in the price Of crude as
long as production exceeds consump-
ton.
Texas. which produces more oil
than any two other States, started
off the month with an output al
lowed by the Railroad Commission
OF l.4l2 ,069 barrels daily. This was
II -269 barrels more than the daily
market demand for Texas crude this
month as estimated by the United
States Bureau Of Mines. The figure
will increase considerably during the
month due to completion of new
wells.
Thompson said excessive drilling
had brought about the demand for
heavy production in Texas Nearly
5000 new wells were completed in
this State in the first four months
OF 1887. In addition. he said, con-
servation practices have prolonged
the life Of old wells.
The commissioner believes the
State eventually might have to ADOPT
the policy OF setting a top allowable
for each field. In that event in.
tensive drilling would have no effect
on production.
Thompson and representatives OF
several other oil-producing States
Will 30 to New Orleans Monday to
ratify extension Of the compact for
two years. The compact then must
be sent to Washington for congress
sional approval.
The fact Gov. Richard w. Leche
OF louisiana invited the commission
to come to that State renewed hope
LOUISIANA ultimately might join in
the compact. California and Louisi-
ana are the only ones of the largest
producing States which have not par.
ticipated.
