Auto

Experimental Models
O. K. a Big Victory
BY sILER FREEMAN

The permission given the
Big Three of the auto indus
try by the War Production
Board 10 60 ahead with expert
mental models is more than a
routine move. 1t is definitely a
triumph for the manufacturers
and can be counted as another
factor easing the path to re-
conversion.
The principal encouraging
thing about the action is that II
was recommended BY the area
production urgency committee
of which Edward T. Gushee
is chairman. This committee is
composed not only of govern
ment agency representatives but
representatives OF the services.
AS was pointed out in this
column on Tuesday, the services
sat in on the War Manpower
Commission meeting with the
auto manufacturers last Thurs
day but did not participate in
the discussions of whether man.
power should be transferred
from less urgent war work to
planning for reconversion. The
action taken by the VINO, free
ing technicians for this work,
seemed empty without the spe-
cific okay of the services.

Needs Interpretation

The rules laid down for using
these men are also fairly elastic
when anaiyzed. For instance.
the limitation that the men be
used to correct known weak
nesses could be carried into al
most any field and result in
some important changes.
Then there is the subsection
dealing with minor appearance
changes, not TO include anything
functional. The question imme-
diately arises. what is functional
and what isn't? Perhaps it will
come down to the same point
that the definition of what
tenders were functional and
could be manufactured as re-
placement parts and what were
nonfunctional and were banned.
1t was finally determined that
those which include headlights
are functional, the plain ones
were nonfunctional.
But the biggest joker may be
right in the broad clause which
some one slipped in, which COW
ers related preparatory work.
1t may take a Philadelphia
lawyer TO finally determine
what ISN'T included in this
clause.
