gathering of the industry. From
this meeting came the Automo-

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 well kept.

Operations

The industry's wartime
operations line up like this:
PRODUCTION-Aircraft:
tanks; military transport, serv-
ice and combat vehicles; cannon.
guns, shells and related fully
assembled armaments and parts
produced by automotive COM
panles amounted to S4,665, ,OOO,-
600 in 1912. This is more than
10 per cent above the value of
the industry's output of civilian
goods in 1941, its peak peace
time year.
CURRENT PRODUCTION
The industry's arms output in
December totaled S575, 600, 900.
This is an annual rate of nearly
S70O0,000,00O. which is eouiva-
lent to producing 10000, 900 cars
and trucks year. Greatest
number of such units ever pro-
duced in any one year was
5,358,420 in 1929.
EMPLOYMENT-There were
$4,000 factory workers on the
pay rolls of IT'S principal auto
motive plants in December.
This is more than so per cent
above the conversion low point
OF $4,000 workers, touched last
fcoruary, and rs per cent above
the record peacetime high Of
$4,000 established in May, 1871.

Mechanical genius? Yes. in

The General Motors junket
1or newsmen through its east

week resurrected discussion as
10 the role OF the auto COM
panies in the aircraft business
after the war, according tn
Dow-JoneS. Inc. There seems
little doubt in most people 5
minds that the manufacture OF
airplane engines IN which auto
mobile people have been pretty
we'll successful will continue as
a postw war activity Of some
size.
But the GM people them
selves admitted that unless air.
plane design can be frozen.
their mass production methods
cmnot be adapted 10 planes.
This admission raises the
question as 10 how much design
can be frozen after hoStililics
cease and the needs for combat
are not The determining factor.
The auto people apparently
feel they can 90 ahead in the
aircraft business. On the other
hand the established aircraft
companies do not seem too wor-
