DETROIT, May Edwards Re-
ports, Inc, in its weekly survey Of
automobile plant capacity, says to-
day that production for the current
week will drop to 106,395 units be-
cause of the Memorial Day holiday
period.
The figures compare with Wards
estimate of 133,560 cars and trucks
last week and 60,980 this week a
year ago.
An analysis of the June outlook
the survey said, points to sustained
production in the coming month"
Car and truck production this week
is estimated by Automotive News at
103,072 vehicles, the decline from last
weeks 132,419 units being attributed
to the Memorial Day holiday in all
plants and Ford's decision not to
operate Friday and Saturday this
week.
In the same -curtailed
week last year 62,0O8 vehicles were
assembled.
The trade publication says that
with this years assemblies. total
production in May reached 547,198
new cars and trucks, which, it adds,
is the highest mark for the indus
try since 1929. when 636.25O vehicles
were produced. In May, 1887, pro-
duction reached 540,377 units.
Automotive News breakdown of
output this week credits General
Motors divisions with 44,137, against
54,866 last week; Chrysler with 3d.
624, compared with 1882 last week
and Ford with 20,468, compared with

Steel Deficit Forecast
Held Likely 10 Result
In Priority Control
O. P. N. Expert Reverses
His Prediction Three
Months Ago Of Surplus
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A system of priority control limit
ing the use of steel for civilian pur-
poses was regarded as probable by
defense officials today after Presi-
dent Roosevelt made public report
indicating a deficit of 100000 tons
Steel now is under the inventory
control system of the ONCE of Pro-
duction Management. but some Of
ficials said that action would be
taken soon to impose greater re-
strictions.
The report. prepared by Gano
Dunn, o. P. M. consultant, was the
second he had made. 1t forecast
deficits in place of the surpluses he
had predicted three months ago.
The deficit in steel would not
affect the defense program, Mr.
Dunn asserted, because total Army
Navy, Maritime Commission and
British requirements do not amount
to more than Is per cent of the
present capacity of the industry.
Two Choices Open.
The report said that decision
must be made whether to curtail
civilian consumption or to increase
the capacity of the industry. 1t
made no recommendation, but it
stated that it would take at least
two years to build new facilities
capable of turning out 10000, 900 tons
a year.
Mr.. Dunn's estimate of 400 900
ton deficit for the current year
compared with 10,100 000-ton sur
plus he estimated three months
earlier.
For 1912, he forecast a deficit of
6,400.000 tons, compared with a
surplus of 100000 tons estimated
in the first report.
Reliable Capacity Increased.
Mr.. Dunn said that maximum
reliable capacity of the industry,
estimated in the first report at
91,124,718 tons annually as of
December 81, 1941, has been in
creased to 81 $685. 6o tons annually
and further increases are in pros
.pect." His estimate of requirements
for 1912 was 1880, 900 tons. T.
Mr.. Dunn rejected an estimate of
the o. P. M. Bureau of Research
and Statistics which placed civilian
requirements for 1912 at 88,600,00O
tons and the total need at 100 400 900
tons. He said the bureaus estimates
involved duplication of require
ments.

Transportation and Prices
Worry Oil Industry
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated SIeSS.
NEW YORK, May 29,-Problems
of transportation and price ceilings
are clouding an otherwise favor
able profit outlook for the petroleum
industry, Wall Street analysts say.
Demand for petroleum products
is hitting a record pace about per
cent ahead of last year. Stocks of
gasoline and crude oil (which have
undermined industry's prices in re-
cent years have declined to very
reasonable levels, trade sources say.
The possibility that further tanker
acquisitions for naval use might cut
the industry off from large section
of its Eastern seaboard market,
however, has put damper on pros
poets There is also a danger, OBJ
servers believe, that price authori-
ties might put a ceiling over pc
troleum prices which would offset
the favorable statistical position of
the industry.
