How Council Arose

1t was just year ago today,
a day like those we have been
enduring this week, dark and
murky with overcast skies. A
group of men gathered about a
lone table. At the head sat
silver haired, austere looking
Alvan Macauley.
c. +. Wilson sat with his old
rivals, X. T. Keller and Edsel
Ford. Present were Joe Frazer
of WHY'S and Robert Black Of
White Motors. Representatives
of the tool and die industry and
the parts manufacturers were
there. 1t was a momentous
gathering of the industry. From
this meeting came the Automo-
tive Council for War Produc-
ton. Also a solemn pledge to
the nation:
This country and its Allies
would not lack for one gun, one
tank or one plane that the
capacity and ingenuity of the
auto industry could produce.
The pledge has been we'll kept,
as the council in it's year-end
report just issued shows.

Auto industry Marks
Year of Vast
Accomplishment
BY SILER FREEMAN

AS the clock ticks off the
precious seconds and minutes
today, it brings another year TO
a close. 1t has been a sad
Year, yet a glorious one for the
automotive industry centered
here. 1t most certainly has
been a year of glorious ac-
complishment.
The automotive industry has
DONE things this past year,
things which even the most
optimistic official among them
did not think a year ago could
be done. 1t has wrought a
miracle and given not only this
nation but Allied nations re-
newed courage and hope.
But how was this done?
Mechanical genius? Yes, in
part. The 'know-how" that
engineers boast about? Yes, a
great deal. But mainly it was
something more than mere
genius and skill. 1t was the
age-old reliance Of one man on
another, free interchange Of
information without fear Of
competition. And this was
brought about in unusual
fashion.

On the
Business
front 4
BY WARD SCHULTZ
Financial Editor

The General Motors junket
for newSmen through its east
ern aircraft division plants last
week resurrected discussion as
10 the role of the auto COM
panieS in the aircraft business
after the war, according 10
Dow-JoneS, Inc. There seems
little doubt in most peoples
minds that the manufacture of
airplane engines in which auto
mobile people have been pretty
well successful will continue as
a poStw var activity Of some
size.
But the GM people them
selves admitted that unless air.
plane design can be frozen,
their mass production methods
cannot be adapted TO planes.
This admission raises the
question as TO how much design
can be frozen after hoStilities
cease and the needs for combat
are not the determining factor.
The auto people apparently
feel they can go ahead in the
aircraft business. On the other
hand the established aircraft
companies do not seem too wer-
ried about not being able 10
keep out in front in design and
production. One market analyst
suggests that the policy Of Cen
eral Motors in Electric-M Motive
Corporation may be guide TO
what viii be done in aircraft.
GM was willing 10 spend years
and lot of money pioneering
in new Diesel designs and just
began 10 cash in when the war
started. Possessing tremendous
cash reserves. General Motors
may choose TO do the same
thing in aircraft.
