CMC ASSUMES
LARGE PART OF
ARMS BURDEN

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Detroit, Feb. 6 -UP)-- General
Motors Corp. in peacetime the coun-
try's largest producer of automobiles.
has promised to supply 10 per cent
OF the nations gigantic war produc-
ton.
G. E. Wilson, president Of G. NJ,
has given assurance that the facil-
tiles of his corporation will produce:
One third of all the machine guns.
About one half of the Army trucks.
More than half of the Diesel en-
gines' needed by the Navy.
Twenty-Five per cent of the tanks.
Substantial quantities of anti-air-
craft and machine guns.
Moreover, Wilson disclosed, Gen.
eral Motors already is in quantity
production of Allison aircraft en-
gines, machine guns, submarine en-
gines, machine guns, submarine en-
gines, Army trucks, shells and gun
housings.
Employment Falls Sharply
The corporation which received
orders for $769 100000 worth of war
material during the first 10 days of
January, now is producing at the
rate of S700,O0O,0O0 year.
"By this fall" Wilson said, 1--WE
should be producing at the rate of
So, 100000 a year; and next year,
We expect to reach the $3,70c 100000
mark"
G.. M. employment, which reached
peak of 1903, 483 last June, probably
did rot exceed $4,000 as of Feb. /.
Thus, approximately $4,000 G.. M.
workers were forced into idleness by
the suspension of civilian Automobile
production and the shift to about
effort on the war program. Wilson
hopes all the idle workers can be
absorbed on arms work by the end
of the year. The rate of re-employ-
ment is expected to be not less than
1000 per month.
Anticipate Labor Shortage
The government order stepping up
production of spare parts for auto
mobiles and light trucks at $50 per
cent of the 1941 rate is expected to
cushion the effect of the change
over to war production. Between Is
and 20 per cent of workers normally
employed building passenger cars
may be needed for this parts pro-
gram, effective through next June
80.
With the automobile industry en-
barked on $4,000, OO0,O 900 armament
building program, many informed
sources believe it eventually will eX-
perience shortage of workers, re-
quiring greater hiring of women.
They feel that the industry as
whole may employ nearly SO per
cent more Workmen than during
peacetime. This would mean that
General Motors alone may need an
additional 10000 employees.
Wilson repeatedly has said, give
us the orders and we'll do the job"
He has orders and more are on
the way.

History repeats itself!
The Boy Scouts of America is
living again the stirring days of
1917 and 1913. The present conflict

These services range from poster
distribution to blackout first aid.

advertising the sale of United States
Defense bonds and stamps. Boy
Scouts put up 100000.
Almost Immediately the Office of
Civilian Defense requested the aid
