Auto Industry Wants
Minimum Of Federal
aid in Reconversion
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The automobile industry has in
dicated strongly q determination to
reconvert its factories to car maxi
Ing in its own way with little help
snd a minimum Of supervision from
Washington.
Chief executives of all tie auto
mobile manufacturing companies
closed a meeting with War Produc.
ton Board officials here late yes
terday afternoon during which
problems Of the change over from
war to normal productions were
discussed. WPB later expressed
surprise that the industry wanted
so little help.
The attitude Of industry was that
the Government should help them
acquire new machine tools, clear
their facilities of war property and
give them the "go" signal to start
making cars. When war restric-
tions are lifted, the manufacturers
want the Government to keep
hands off, their industry.
War Work Engrosses Industry.
WPB reported that the industry
indicated it was SO engrossed in war
work that 1t had no time now to
consider reconversion problems. In
dustry officials said later this attitude
actually meant that the manufac-
turers were much more advanced in
planning for peace than is generally
realized.
One of the biggest manufacturers
said that to reconvert the industry
to normal work it would be necessary
to move half of the current war
contracts out of Detroit, the industry
capital. He said the day that Ger
many capitulates was the day real
reconversion will commence. He in
dicated that more than half of
Detroits war work will end with the
close OF the European war.
The industry showed little inter-
est in several of WPB plans and
discarded the so-called blue order"
plan, under which each manufac-
turer would place orders for parts
and materials for passenger cars,
the orders to be filled at some later
time when WPB gives the go-ahead
signal. The plan has been accept
ed by other heavy goods industries.
Starting Quotas Discussed.
There was some discussion OF
starting quotas for plants when car
manufacture is resumed. WPB had
aimed at an industry wide starting
goal Of 2,l50,000 cars a year. about
half l94l production. The big three
manufacturers-Ford. General Mo-
tors and Chrysler-are expected to
consent to give up about per cent
of their quotas to the smaller COM
lpanies.
WPB said the biggest barrier to
resumption of car manufacture was
the clearing of the facilities of in
dustry suppliers from war work 1t
was estimated there are from 5000
; to 5000 small companies supplying
parts for each automobile in high
production.
Industry officials agreed to return
to their Offices and make an ex-
, haustive study of the position OF
their suppliers before further dis
cussion of the question Of starting
quotas
WPB Vice Chairman Lemuel R
Boulware. the Governments presid-
ing officer at the meeting. said he
thought the meeting was generally
satisfactory"

And that, Cecil B de Mile told us

ston, newcomer to Hollywood. first
aroused his interest in her acting
possibilities. For on the strength of
that scream he gave her a screen
test that landed her in one of the
leading roles of The Story of DR..
Wassell."
Most newcomers" said De Mile,
are too restrained emotionally or
too inhibited or self-conscious to let
go a good, piercing, honest scream
unless they're scared out of it. II
they can do it we'll, it usually means
they're promising, no matter how
inexperienced"

where there is a lot of voting
strength.
Fashion department: AS a hotbed
of practical research, the movie
studios have come up with several
suggestions dealing with safe meth
odS of embracing servicemen and
how to dress when dating" them.
The safety suggestion, couched in
Warner Bros most lucid prose,
reads:
"Avooid embracing the serviceman
wearing medals, ribbons and other
decorations. They readily catch in
gown, and the result is both dam
aging to the dress and awkward at
moment when grace is imperative. ."
That makes it sound as if it would
be better not to be hero.
AS to correct dress:
Avoid severely tailored clothes
and uniforms. Emphasize the fem
mime. 1t is courtesy to him for two
reasons. 1t sets off the smartness of
his uniform, and when he is with
you he likes to get as far away as
possible from the all-male world in
which he lives"
Presumably other researchers are
busy with the antithetical problems,
now the male is to deal safely with
the decorated service women and
how he should dress to set off the
smartness of her uniform.
