The original parts and equip

turning handsprings yet over
John II. Middlekamp's hint Of
partial resumption of new car
manufacture by late July. July
is still far off and much may
happen between now and July.
Besides, Middlekamps state
ment. made in Washington at a
meeting of the automotive parts
advisory committee with War
Production Board officials, was
couched in such way il could
be taken either that plans for
resumption would be discussed
in late July or steps actually
would be taken then. II is their
Interpretation that the planning
may go forward then.
Again. under the Controlled
Materials Plan. there could be
no resumption on any basis by
late July. Materials must be
ordered three months in adj
vance. So any reconversion
would come by late October at
the earliest.

Unrestricted Output

One OF the controversies that
arose at the parts meeting
with WPB was whether there
should be limited resumption of
car manufacture or unrestricted
manufacture of parts to keep
present cars in operation. While
some differences developed
among the parts men them
selves, the consensus was for
unrestricted manufacture of
parts.
This Is the same attitude
that. strangely enough, the car
manufacturers have adopted.
They would rather have unlim-
tied output Of parts to keep
present cars in operation than a
small number of new cars.
The parts men. sensibly
enough, saw unlimited parts
production as giving them
sugar in the bin," even il most
OF the parts did not find their
way into civilian channels.

100000 Figure

There was a something hope
full in the WPB automotive
chiefs figure of a probable mini
mum of 2,0O0. 900 cars. That fig
ure would interest the new car
manufacturers. When the auto
motive advisory committee met
in April with Donald M. Nelson
and Middlekamp. the figure
talked Of was 200. 900. That
minimum would be out of the
question, for most of the car
makers. They could not resume
on that basis and break even on
their quotas.
Middlekamp did not make
1000. 900 a positive minimum
but stated that one of the basic
things which must be ironed out
first was determine ton of a
minimum figure. possibly B.
100000" The second basic prob
lem was ALLEGATIONS of the

turers.
