Railroads Selling Seats
In Par|or.Lounqe Cars
Ry the Associated PRESS.

Ry the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 7.-Eastern
railroads, it was disclosed today, are
selling space in parlor-lounge cars
which formerly was used by pullman
passengers on a guest privilege"
basis.
The decision to sell seats In the
lounge and observation cars was
reached after the Office of Defense
Transportation asked the railroads
to cut out luxuries as measure of
equipment conservation.
Railroad executives said it was
the Governments idea at first to
take off the parlor- Lounge and OBJ
servation cars, but the railroads con-
cluded the Governments aims would
be met If the space in such cars
were sold. The new arrangement
means that pullman traveller may
no longer complete his journey in a
lounge smoking car while his regu-
larly assigned space remains unoc-
cupied.

Auto Chiefs Worried
As Dealer Outlook
Grows Worse
Many Retailers Study
Possible Place in
War Production
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE,
Wild. wcrld Automotiy. Editor

DETROIT, July 7.-Sales OF new
passenger automobiles narrow down
more tightly as limited supply
dwindles used cars attract less
than average interest talk is
heard of further restrictions on fuel
and a more dubious outlook for the
requirements for at least another
two years the future of the auto
mobile retailer, trying to stay in
business through the war becomes
increasingly uncertain.
Those are a few of the things
worrying the motor car industry cur
rently engaged in the greatest in
dustrial war effort of all time and
trying at the same time to visualize
its position in the immediate post
war period. ..
Dealer mortality to date has been
less severe than most Of the car
manufacturers expected, but 1t will
increase as the war is prolonged
Most of the industry's heads believe
the vital part OF the merchandising
division can be maintained into
l943
Possibilities Surveyed.
Participation in the war produc-
ton program by the car retailers
frequently has been suggested in
trade quarters during the last few
months. To date, however, there
has been no large scale conversion in
that respect. although in widely
scattered areas some dealers with
the right type of equipment on hand
or obtainable have found place in
the war production program.
Perhaps one of the most compre-
hensive appraisals Of the potentiali-
ties Of dealer participation in the
production program has just been
compiled under the direction of
Kenneth B Elliott, vice president
of Studebaker Corp. Elliott makes
no attempt to influence dealers for
or against participation in the man
ufacturing program.
Rather, he attempts in a 64-page
booklet for dealers to present a
summary OF information they would
need II they were considering or
seeking the manufacture OF war
materials.
Types OF work dealers could do.
the equipment they would need,
where they might obtain such equip
ment and how to proceed in the
effort to obtain contracts, are out
lined in the booklet. f
Caution Advised.
Since the manufacture of war
materials Is a business quite differ
ent from dealers normal activity"
Elliott cautions, 1T Is very impor-
tant that careful judgment be used
in making decisions. The decision
as to whether or not a dealer should
engage in war production activity
is one which the dealer himself must
make" -F2
indicative perhaps not only Of
thinking in his own recently or
ganized Studebaker dealer war pro-
duction division, but throughout the
industry. Elliott says:
1T should be carefully noted that
as the war Itself develops and the
war production program progresses,
conditions can and will change from
month to month, week to week and
even from day to day. From now
on. changed material requirements,
changes In the time factor, modi-
flcation of plans and policies, all
will affect both the opportunities
and needs for dealer participation
in wa production"
