Civilian hep'
Seen as Ansver
to Car Shortage

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-(P)
"A civilian counterpart Of the
army "jeep"-with certain re-
finements as q concession to
comfort-was suggested today
by officials of the National Auto
mobile Dealers association rs q
possible answer to the new car
shortage.
The suggestion came from L.
Clare Cargile, Texarkana, Tex,
president of the association, and
Arthur Center, Springfield,
Mass, its secretary. as q house
committee resumed hearings on
the effect of new car production
curtailment on the nations a.
600 dealers.
The small, rough-and-ready
vehicle-the answer to any COL
lege freshman's prayer-would
probably be called the Victory
Car" and be produced by leading
automobile manufacturers under
no trade name.
1t would be large enough for
five passengers, maybe with q
little crowding, and would be
devoid of costly accessories,
nickel or chrome trim and other
gadgets adding to cost.
But If built to the specifica-
tons of its army brothers, it
could climb most any hill with q
top to it, splash fearlessly
through the deepest mud, and in
general negotiate terrain usually
summed by everything without
fur or feathers.
1T would be built primarily
for service, not for looks, and to
meet q need for transportation
when present cars wear out and
comparable requirements are
not available" said Center. 1T
would be strictly an economy
car, with six cylinders and low
upkeep."
Cargile said the automobile
industry, despite the conversion
of much of its machinery for the
production of airplanes and 9TH
er defense material, could make
enough Victory cars to meet es-
sential needs, and still not inter-
fere with defense requirements.
The jeep-in-mufti should be
made to sell fol- less than 81, 900,
he added, and could be made
available to the public under q
limited rationing order so that
anyone who setually needed q
car, resardlesS Of his priority
rating under present regulations,
could obtain one.
Probably q few hundred
thousand q year could be made"
he said. ''They could be distribu-
ted through existing dealer dis
tribution channels on q proper
tionate basis, and would 60 .
long way toward solving the CT
william transportation problem
and at the same time help keep
in business thousands Of dealers,
who, from the looks Of things
now, may be forced to shut
down."
