What S New
In Business
WPB Seen Anxious
To Get Cars M5de
By WARD SCHULTZ

Strength and activity IN auto
and parts company share
probably reflects growing holict
that WPB in not too distant
future may outline preliminary
steps for partial reconversion Of
many plants to civilian protuc-
ton. While il is not likely that
there viii be any new car pro-
duction before the end ~ this
year, there are many indications
WPB is ANXIOUS for Sucn produc-
ton TO start ~ the earliest pos
sihle moment. First step looking
toward eventual complete recon-
version may he permission for
parts companies 10 engage IN
unrestricted production Of obth
functional and non-funcuonal
parts. The latter have been pro-
hihited since shortly after tho
war started.
Members Of the Automobile
Manufacturers Advisory Com
mittee Will meet again with
WPB officials early i'm July 10
present data on minimum num-
Der of cars each can make and
show a profit. At a meeting in
April, a minimum figure of p
100000 a year was discussed as
the lowest point at which it
would pay the industry 10 try TO
make cars. II the various com
panies are in substantial agree
ment when the July meeting is
held. WPB will be in a position
10 make concrete plans for the
induStry's future.
Another indication that WPB
Is thinking seriously about re-
conversion plans is 10 be seen in
formation OF an Automotive
Original Equipment Parts In
dustry Advisory Committee last
week. This committee is eX-
pccted 10 work with WPB's
Automotive Division simultan-
eously with the Auto Manufac-
turers Advisory Committee and
will present the parts makers
problems that WPB must assist
In solving.
The industry's chances OF re-
engaging in automobile manu-
featuring. however. inevitably
are related 10 manpower situa-
ton -ff-the iffdustry,s arms

Until the end of the European
was is definitely in sight. arms
factories are likely TO be utiliz-
ing so much manpower and fac
tory space that any resumption
Of production on an important
scale would be out of the queS-
ton.

Lottery Poor
TaxSubstitute
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, n. \. University
a Los Angeles reader asks:
"Why not n national lottery
for government revenue instead
of heavier taxes? How would
one affect our economy: Lot
teries work In Latin-American
countries. Why does the adj
ministration oppose"
Answer: AS a fiscal measure
lotteries are had, because they do
not raise money on any logical
basis such as ability to pay or
benefit received. The buyer of
lottery tickets loses all connection
between his payment and what his
government does for him. One
result would be that if a lottery
brought in large sums the govern
ment would have no incentive TO
economy.
1t Is very doubtful that lottery
revenue would be stable through
good and bad times.
