Al Auto Plants
Ingenuity Cuts Down
Delays for Lack Of
Machine Tools
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,
Wide World Automotive Editor.

DETROIT, March IA little
more than five weeks ago the auto
mobile industry stepped on its plant
conversion accelerator.
1t began tearing out overhead
conveyors and car assembling lines,
shifting machine tools about and
installing new equipment so that
all its famed mass production tech
nique could be turned to the task Of
war weapon manufacture.
Today the conversion Job Is
ahead OF schedule"
The expanded output Of anti-air-
craft cannon. aviation engine parts.
bomber plane sub-assemblies and
tanks and all the things the indus
try can produce to help win the
war quite evidently Is going to be
attained sooner than generally was
expected
Machine tool equipment continues
to be the most urgently needed and
most difficult to obtain, but with
the aid of priorities and the in
genuity of the production chiefs in
converting older equipment. the
necessary tools are moving into the
factories.
The progress is perhaps most no.
ticeable in the larger factories
These plants. some of them with as
much as 100000 square feet Of
floor space. presented the most
startling picture month ago when
almost overnight they were stripped
of their accustomed equipment to
be left as barren as gigantic unoccu-
pied airplane hangers.
Many Bare Spots Remain.
Today they rapidly are taking on
their traditional machine shop ap-
pearance again. There still are
many bare spots. of course. where
installations are yet to be made or
where two or three erstwhile pas
senger car assembly lines are to be
replaced with a single line for the
assembling Of huge Army tanks.
1t is a conspicuous fact. however,
that in virtually every one of these
larger plants. production Is under
way at one end while the new tool
equipment Is being set up at the
other.
When the factory heads and their
engineers talk about being in pro-
duction" they don't always mean
they are turning out the complete
product; they mean they have begun
to pile up the huge banks Of parts
prerequisite to any mass production
undertaking.
These parts now are being accu-
mulated in enormous quantities.

tons, connecting rods. crankshafts,

Grain Traders Await
Parity Action and
War Developments
Narrow and Nervous
Fluctuations Mark
Close at Chicago
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, March 7.-Continued
narrow and nervous price f1uctua-
tionS in the grain market today re-
flected trade uneasiness due to war
news and unwillingness of most in
tereStS to act prior to a decision in
Washington on the move to halt
Government sales of wheat and
corn at prices below parity.
Prices were off fractions at one
stage, wheat and rye losing about
p cent and oats and soybeans al
most a cent, but late short covering
erased most OF the losses. Part OF
the weakness was associated with
early heavineSs of securities. Slow
milling and commercial trade kept
buying at minimum Profit TAX
ing and stop-loss selling upset beans
and oats.
Wheat closed unchanged to i
lower compared with yesterday,
May. Sl.29as Il: July. $1.307s; corn,
ls-l4 higher May, 8814; July, 90ss-
=; oats. l4-3s off; rye, unchanged
to Is down soybeans. unchanged
to $ lower, and lard unchanged at
ceiling levels.
Lard Trade Halted.
Lard trade was virtually at
standStill, with prices bid as high
as Governments ceilings
would permit. Hog values have
risen to the best average since 1926,
being quoted almost cent a pound
higher than lard.
Closing quotations in wheat and
rye were very little different than a
week ago, but corn was about a cent
higher and oats a cent lower.
House action on the Senate bill
which would freeze Government
ever-normal granary wheat and
corn except at prices equivalent to
or better than parity is expected
next week.
Milling Business Slow.
Despite prospect of this Withdraw
al milling and flour trade the past
few weeks has been quiet, with no
signs of any improvement. Traders
said the belief is general that there
is ample wheat for requirements
without Government stocks and
that this is virtually confirmed by
the fact that open market prices
have slipped several cents below
quotations at which the Govern
ment is offering grain for sale.
Business in c. C. c. milling wheat
has been small recently, traders
said. No. 2 hard sold at Sl27%-
81 % in the spot market. compared
with a minimum G. G. c. price OF
s132.
Dealers attributed independent
strength Of corn to the fact that
demand for this cereal is increas-
ing steadily with expanded live
stock production. whereas require
ments for wheat are fairly stable
except for possible acceleration of
disappearance through export or
feeding. Shippers sold 5000 BUSH
els of corn and 10000 oats to move
from here.
