As the plane had only a five.

that a party Of CCC men who had

The search started yesterday
afternoon after the plane had

that the pilot was attempting to
find the landing field at Big

Search Started
When the noise of the motor
was no longer heard, CCC camps
in the vicinity organized search

night they combed the dense WOOD

The scene of the crash was near

The party that discovered the

Strong Upward Trend
Continues 10 Rule.
Auto Industry
Dealer Stocking Loes
Because g! Of Pressure
For Deliveries
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,


DETROIT, Dec. 3.-Upward trends
continue to rule in the motor car
industry.
Increased deliveries to consumers.
higher assembly levels, steady flow
OF orders to the factories and in
creased plant employment furnish
the basis for a greater feeling of
optimism than the manufacturers
and distributors of automobiles have
experienced for many months. The
only phase of industry activity that
has not surged upward during the
last few weeks is the stocking Of
dealers and this is explained by the
fact that in most instances the re-
tailers have been obliged to pass
factory deliveries on to customers as
rapidly as they have been received.
Orders Accumulate.
The picture of heavy accumula-
ton of untitled orders at the fac
tories despite the fact production
has been stepped up to approx
mately 10000 units a day is one
that has not been seen in the motor
car industry for more than a year.
Most of the manufacturers believe
it forecasts a more profitable year
ahead than was indicated a few
months ago.
At the same time some of the pro-
ducerS are admitting some uncer-
tainty regarding the volume of dis
tribution that may be expected in
February and early March. A tenn
porary tapering off of retail demand
at that period has become more or
less customary, but of varying dura-
ton, dependent upon general busi-
ness conditions.
Offsetting this uncertainty is the
attitude of the less conservative of
the sales executives, who assert that
the accumulation of unsatisfied
consumer demand is Of such pro-
portions that the current surge of
orders will carry right through the
midwinter period and require a
sustained high level of production
activity.
Go Directly to Buyers.
Barring some development at pres
ent unforeseen, the assembly plants
will roll out more than 400 900 units
between now and the year end.
The orders from dealers will alb
sorb all of these vehicles and a large
part of them will pass directly on
to individual purchasers. On this
basis of conjecture the industry
will wind up the year with a con-
siderable volume Of untitled orders
on its books.
In all their estimates Of next
years potentialities, the manufac-
turers and sales managers have
taken into consideration the fact
that as the distribution of new units
increases 50 will the return of used
vehicles to the dealers. Thus, these
authorities say, the burden of main
tanning the prosperity of the in
dustry rests almost wholly upon
the dealer organizations in seeing
that the trade-in units are not per-
mitted to remain unsold any longer
than necessary.
