Promptly, too, came proclama-

Light Truck Output
Faces New Slash
BY sILER FREEMAN

Production of passenger cars
and light trucks again seems due
for heavy inroads, this time on
two fronts.
January and February limits
have already been set. But now
they will be slashed even more.
From Harry Bennett it was
learned yesterday that the Ford
Motor Car Company had re-
ceived orders TO cut an addl-
tional 25 per cent. The big
three-Ford, General Motors
and Chrysler-was down for an
original average Of 55 per cent
for January and 1913 per cent
for February.
The additional % per cent
would mean that Ford's total
for January. instead OF being
$4,000 would come down an adj
ditional $500 to about 2S. 500.

Courage Revealed

American cities, except per-
haps a few on our coasts, are
little likely to suffer as most
British cities have suffered. The
conduct of the people in both
Atlantic and Pacific places
where alarms were sirened in
dicates that Americans will DEM
onstrate they are made OF as
courageous stuff as Britons.
In New York the police SIM
ply could not induce people 10
scamper off the streets. They
persisted in going their normal
ways. Not trace OF hysterla
visible anywhere.
The writer spent some time in
one building where many en-
ployes were at work. They were
informed of the announcement
that German bombers were APP
preaching the metropolis. They
were intensely interested, but
not one man or woman showed
the slightest desire TO quit work.
Another gratifying develop
ment: Japan,s ubiquitous attack
without declaring war was al
once followed by rush OF young
Americans to enlist in our armed
forces. Danger set their patriot
ism aflame.

Responsible for the revival is
Alex Taub. British-American auto

telling his Washington acquaint-
anceS that 20 per cent of the auto
mobile machinery can be converted
10 defense production.
Last spring, when the Reuther
plan was a hot issue. the industry

only about Is per cent could be
used but now Taub has been told
to go 10 work on his theories.
He's under Floyd Odlum in the di-
vision of contract distribution.
English born. Taub is a natural
lied citizen and has been con-
