.0PM Agrees
To Bigger Cut
In Car Output
BY JACK VINCENT


Intl News SerNies stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The
automobile industry will be forced
10 cut production below 10000
cars in the first quarter of the
new model year, which starts Fri
day, the Office of Production Man
sgement and the Office of Price
Administration and Civilian Supply
announced today.
Originally, the automobile COM
panieS had agreed 10 cut produc-
tion by 20 per cent so that ap-
proximately 500, 900 vehicles would
be produced in August. September
and October, However. after a
meeting between representatives
OF motor car makers and OPM and
.OPACS, the industry representa-.
-tives were told today that the
tentative schedule. which included
the 20 per cent cut. was still too
high and would have TO be ad-
juSted.
LESS THAN SOC. 900
a high defense official was
asked if this meant that auto
mobile concerns would have 10 cut
below the 100000 figure. He said
yes but refused 10 estimate how
large the cut would be.
Leon II derson. head OF
OPACS, and William 6. Knudsen.
OPM director, previously had
agreed that 20 per cent cut
would have 10 be made in the
first quarter. Later. Henderson
announced that automobile com
panies would have TO cut produc.
ton by so per cent TO 20O.O0C
units A month, starting in No
vember. OPM and OPACS Their
began a quarrel over the right to
administer the motor car curtail.
ment program.
This would indicate that the
curtailment would be deeper
than Leon Henderson's original
cut. he had announced reduc-
ton 10 100000 a month. except
that for the first three months
Of the model year the manufac-
turerS could set their schedules
for a total of 100000 and pro-
duce them in any given quantity
per month. That is. they could
make only $4,000 or 100000 in
August. when the changeover
would cut into production, and

hour with machine gun fire.
