Motorists Warned
To Restrict Use
OF Gasoline
Manufacturers Fear
Lorge Consumption
Might Force Curb
By DAVID ]. WrEKIE,


DETROIT. Jan. 5.-Rationing Of
new passenger automobiles and OF
new tire requirements for cars al
ready purchased may not in them
selves curtail motor vehicle opera
ton for many months to come, but
the manufacturers are urging discre-
tionate use Of all privately owned
vehicles.
These authorities point out that a
rationing Of gasoline could bring a
sudden halt to nOn-eSsential use Of
motorcars. They admit there has
been no ofncial hint that such a
fuel-rationing plan Is Immediately
contemplated but add that the
quickest way to precipitate 1t would
be to believe that car operation as
usual may 60 on indefinitely.
Quick Action Possible.
A rationing Of gasoline, 1t is add
ed, could be made operative as
quickly and as effectively as was
the ban on new-tire sales.
There are no illusions anywhere
in the motorcar industry regarding
the seriousness of the rubber situa-
ton. Shortages of this commodity
were foreseen many months ago. At
the same time the conviction Is ex-
pressed in many automotive quar-
tiers that emergency measures, such
as the making of tires from re-
claimed rubber and retreading OF
castings will keep all needed We
hicles in operation.
There are several factors that
suggest It may be many months
before the tire rationing situation
acutely will affect passenger vehicle
operation.
It is no secret, for example, that
tire boarding began many weeks be-
fore Japan precipitated the United
States into the war; requirements
during the same period also were
on q large scale. Moreover, there
are many hundreds of thousands
of used tires IN dealer hands that
still have considerable mileage
value. The car makers and the tire
manufacturers warn. however, that
this Is a condition that will not en-
dure indefinitely.
Actual Needs Smaller.
As for the supply of motorcars in
the months ahead. the sales chiefs
make a sharp distinction between
over all demand and actual require
ment. Actual needs, they believe
can be provided for from the ap-
proximately normal used car stocks
and the undetermined number of
vehicles that may be thrown on the
market as their owners enter mill
tary service.
No small number of these latter
units will be 1941 models bought in
the sales bulge of the past year.
There Will be some 1912 models, too,
because around 10000 such units
were sold up until the declaration
of war.
The tire rationing program I'M
doubtedly will be felt in used car
sales to some degree. Certainly the
condition Of the tires on a Used car
will figure more prominently than
ever in its sale and there will be
little opportunity for dressing UP"
with new tires a vehicle Of uncertain
merit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The steel
industry will operate this week at
96.4 per cent of capacity, with pro-
duction Of ingots and castings at
1897, 100 tons, the American Iron
and Steel Institute estimated today.
Last week mills operated at an
average Of 96.1 per cent, with an in
dicated output Of 1887 800 tons Of
ingots and castings.
A month ago production rate was
CTS per cent and tonnage 1917. 800
and q year ago 95.1 per cent and
1884 800 tons.
The institute also said the third
consecutive monthly decline In en-
ployment in the steel industry re-
f1ected primarily an increase in
production of war goods and q de-
crease in output of civilian goods.
November employment totaled
$4,000, q drop Of about 1000 from
October. In November, 1910, the
industry employed $4,000 men.

Price Ceiling Fixed
On Three Types Of
Machinery

And Crane Equipment
Included in Order
~ the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press.
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son moved today to stabilize prices
at the October level on three i'm
portant types of industrial ma
chinery construction equipment,
ceramic machinery and equipment,
and hoists. cranes and derricks.
Henderson asked manufacturers
Of hoists, cranes and derricks by let
ter not to raise their net sales prices
above the october level and called
a meeting of companies manufacture
ing these products in Washington
January IS to discuss price procedure
in the industry.
Distributors and dealers of con-
struction equipment were requested,
also by letter, not to change their
present customary margins on equip
ment and to refrain from changing
their delivery or service practices
and fees in any way which would
increase current charges.
Manufacturers of construction
equipment previously had been asked
not to increase prices above the level
OF October without consent of the
Once OF Price Administration.
The letter to dealers is intended
to accomplish for the ultimate pur-
chaser the same price stability
achieved by the restraints on manu-
facturers' prices. The dealers and
distributors were invited to meet
ing with o. P. A. officials in Chicago
January 10.
About 10 firms in the ceramic
machinery and equipment industry
were asked to confer with price
ofncials in Washington January 20.
At the same time they were asked
not to raise prices above the October
! figures Letters addressed to the
companies noted that price increases
would directly influence ability to
produce building materials electrical
insulators, refractories for industrial
furnaces and ceramic substitutes
for strategic metals required for the
war effort.
