Auto Concerns Hone
They Will Be Able
To Meet Demand
Build Record Reserves
For Fear of Curbs
On Production
By DAVID ]. WILKIE,

Associated Press Automotive Editor.
DETROIT, March 31-Not so very
long ago the manufacturers of mo-
tor cars worried a great deal about
the ability of the retail market to
absorb the output of the automobile
assembly plants; overproduction
was their chief pugaboo and con-
trolled production"--the policy that
leveled output off to visible demand
became the industry's byword. To-
day the car makers are wondering
whether their production capacity
during the remainder of the calen-
dar year will be sufficient to meet
the retail demand
Probably at no time in the history
OF the automobile industry as vol
ume producing enterprise has there
been as much uncertainty regarding
The immediate future. The 1912
model vehicles-or at least the de-
sign and styles that will succeed the
present models in a few months
are well advanced on paper, but the
manufacturers have little if any
positive knowledge of what their
passenger car production capacity
will be.
Restriction Expected.
Much has been said about the
development of substitute metals to
ease shortages of defense materials
and there is little question among
leading trade authorities that pro-
duction equipment and man power
being available on the present basis
the industry could go on producing
all tie cars the retail market might
require There are few among these
same authorizes, however, who do
not agree that some form of restric-
ton on car production will be effect
ed during the present year.
The car manufacturers have more
or less anticipated such ceiling on
output later in the year by building
up the largest volume of unsold new
vehicles they ever have held in
storage. 1t is strange situation
that finds the industry, with bank
of more than 100000 unsold new
cars on hand and likely to further
increase 1t by midsummer, worrying
about being able to meet retail de-
mand.
Demand Increases.
Consumer demand, however, con-
tinues on an upcurve and some of
the car makers assert that even the
hint of a production restriction
would bring rush of retail buying
that would swallow up the reserve"
stock in a few weeks.
Other competent trade sources
take an opposite view. holding that
a stock of 100000 vehicles on hand
in midyear, which will be the actual
end of the model season, presents
something of a merchandising prop
osltion. These units will have to be
sold, according to this view. before
1912 models can be brought out, re-
gardless of possible restrictions on
the volume of output during the
latter half of the year.
Price increases, if any, these au-
thorltieS contend, are not likely to
be applied to the vehicles in stock
when the production of present
models is concluded.
The assembly plants turned out
124,165 cars and trucks last week,
bringing the total for March with
today's indicated assemblies to 550,-
900 and the aggregate for the first
quarter of 1941 to approximately
1880 900 units.

NEW YORK, March 31-Steel
production will contract to 99.2 per

A month ago output was at 97-5

Steel quarters said the decline
could be expected in view of the
