much sooner.
Thats III view Of persons
close to. HE production division
Of the automobile industry,
which already has given NbGr-
ally Of it, executive personnel
to the new organizations being
set up TO handle the defense
production program.
The manufacturers, who can
celled the National Automobile
Show that would have been held
in New York next October ~
introduce new models, are cur
rently Engaged In building up
reserve" stock Of new. cars. One
maker has even gone 20 far rs
to lease storage space to accom-
modate the reserve.
Despite this actiontand the ad.
mitted possibility Of m enfor-
ced curtailment Of passenger car
production before the current
model year = completed, many
Of the manufacturers believe
supplies Of raw materials will
be adequate to the needs of the
tentative schedules they laid out
at the start Of the present model
run last October. It Is worthy
Of note. however, that at the
rate Of output now In effect sew
eral Of the manufacturers will
have reached the end Of their
scheduled 1941 model produc-
ton around July /.
In discussing the availability
Of supplies, the car makers point
out that the defense program
cannot begin to make demands
on raw materials until the new
plants and new machinery now
being constructed can get into
actual production.
They all add, at the same time,
that once the defense program
reaches the production stage, II
will be the major consideration
Of every automobile manufact-
urer.

Met Last Night in Dover;

SEEK FUND CONTROL

The Kent County Division of
Associated Petroleum Industries of
Delaware, met Tuesday night in the
Richardson Hotel, elected officers
for 1912 and discussed many prob
lens of vital interest to the indus
try, its customers and the state. ].
A. Harmon, one of the leading oil
men in Kent County and Chairman
of the Kent County Division, issued
the following statement: THE diff
ferent taxes imposed on the motor
lists constitute special taxes i'm
posed for particular purpose and
any use of the revenues derived
from these taxes other than on the
highways is unsound economically
and improper from an ethical
standpoint. Delaware citizens have
a substantial equity in their high
way system and, if the funds in
tended for the maintenance and
continued expansion of the system
are diverted to other purposes, the
value of the investment will be re-
duced and industrial and agricul-
tural expanion handicapped. ''The
merging of highway funds with the
General Fund as is now being prac-
ticed under the One Fund Act con-
stitutes the gretest danger to the
stability of our highway system.
The repeal of this act, or, at least,
its modification to exclude highway
funds, will be one of our major OBJ
jectives. Public sentiment unques-
tionably supports our position. THE
gasoline taxes and special fees in
cident to automotive owenrship
now constitute over 81 per cent of
all the tax revenue collected by the
state. If diversion is eliminated
and the One Fund Act repealed,
it will be possible not only to main-
tain our highways in excellent con-
dition, but to reduce the heavy
burden of taxation which the mo-
torist now carries" H. v. Daniel,
Secetary of the stat organization,
stated that the petroleum industry
is thoroughly organized in the state
and will actively press for tax re-
lief and for an end to diversion and
merging of funds. IF we attain
these objectives," he declared, "the
state, automotive owners and the
oil industry will benefit substantial
ly."
