At LAST these deeds have been

Five years ago this writer in
these papers and over the radio
warned of the dangerous spread OF
Communism in this country.
The warning was received with
de6unciation by the Communists
and with an indulgent smile by
the uniformed and Indifferent
public.
The ocular evidence of the eN-
istence of communism had not
reached the surface for all easily
10 see.
There had Dcen no forcible eNhi-
bition of Communietic methods
no daring and definite declaration
even of Communistic aims and oh
jectives.
SO most people honestly he
lieVed that the situation was being
exaggerated and that there eN-
listed in our nation no menace 10
stable government, no threat to
our democratic institutions
SO the Communistic teachers
were allowed 10 continue their
preachments in the schools and
colleges.
Communistic publications were
permitted TO advocate the de
struction of our American form OF
government by force and 10 dis
tribute their sfditious utterances
THE radios were open To Com
L munist leaders To- intrude
their subversiye teachings into the
homes of loyal American families.
And the criminal groups who
advocated murder and plumber a.

party and were given equal place
and consideration with reputable.

Lower Auto Output
Foreseen in Second
1941 Quarter
Strike Reduces Ford
Volume; Others to
Stort Toperine OFF
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,

AoSOCl&tcu FICeS hutOHOtiNe EoltOIs
DETROIT. April 1.-THE auto.
mobile industry probably has def
nitely put behind it the weeks Of
125,000 to 10000 production VOL
ume. This is the conviction OF lead
ing trade authorities who believe at
least another week must elapse be-
fore Ford output, cut of by the
recent 11-day strike, again will be-
come factor in the assembly total.
Ford called back the first Of the
production workers yesterday. but
considerable preliminary work re-
mains TO be completed before as
sembly lines at the Rouge and in
branches throughout the country
can roll out 5000 vehicles a day, as
was done before the strike call on
April 2.
The interruption to Ford output
may result in extending the Ford
1941 model year a bit longer than
had been expected.
1dPCluS oh LAPoIscu'
None of the industry observers
expects the second quarter to turn
out nearly the volume that was as
sembled in the January-February-
March period. The impression is
that tapering of may be expected
in other plants well in advance OF
midyear.
In the first three months of 1871
the motor car industry's assembly
plants completed approximately
1,550,000 cars and trucks. In the
same period, according to the most
authoritative estimates. retail dis
tribution amounted to slightly more
than 1900, 900 units. The difference
between production and retail sales,
however, doesn't necessarily mean
that precisely that many vehicles
were added to the much-talked-
about reserve" stock. for the output
total included a large number Of
units produced for the United States
Army.
There are increasing indications,
as o matter of fact, that the re
serve" stock is going to be more
theoretical than real when the in
dustry comes to the end of its 194l
model year.
Sales Maintained.
1t is entirely probable, say some
of the car makers, that distribution
volume during the second quarter
of the year will approximate the
100000 new vehicle sales of the
first quarter. That total would cut
sharply into the volume of unsold
units-whatever their number
actually may be-unless all authori-
tative gIesses concerning production
during April, May and June are
considerably awry.
The aggregate production of 1941
model vehicles to date is slightly
more than 3,400 900 and the general
guess among trade observers is that
the total for the model year will be
4,500, 900.
