DETROIT, June % - (P) -
The builders of Americas auto
mobiles are warning motorists
not TO expect 1916 model pas
Fsenger cars in hurry, but
there are many among the in
dustry's experts who believe
high level production will be
attained within matter OF
weeks after governmental con-
trolls are withdrawn.
The War Production Board
has authorized the car makers 10
build approximately 214,000
passenger units before next De-
cember 81 and has predicted an
annual production level Of g.
100000 units by July 1, 1916.
But one Of the richest markets
the industry has known Is in
prospect for probably five or
six years after the war and
campaigns for buyer preference
among close to score OF pas
senger car makers will be with
out parallel in their history.
They will be campaigns for
both domestic and foreign mar
kets, which already have been
analysed and surveyed by many
of the companies.
So it is fairly safe guess
that if restrictions on produc-
ton are removed around next
January /, the 2,000,000-cars-a-
year level will be reached
around March, 1946, and
100000 unit rate will be at
tanned a couple Of months later.
From that point the production
volume will be pretty much
what the industry chooses to
make il.
There will be little X any
profit in the production of
2l4,000 cars over period OF
six months, but it starts the in
dustry away on its return to
peacetimc competitive activity.
There will be shaking down
of production line practices and
of the merchandising organiza-
ton expanded by virtually every
manufactures.
Thus. although some OF the
builders have protested that the
1915 production ALLEGATION is too
small, it may not be without
some advantage 10 the industry
that has produced no passenger
cars for three and half years
and has merchandised only
small volume of units left over
from its 1912 model output.
Some Of the industry sales
chiefs have said that it would
be futile for the average Amer
lean motorist TO expect to be
able to buy new passenger
car for at least two years after
production is resumed. Others
have said that production rate
OF 100000 cars year will be
reached about January /, 1947.
A few of the new 1916 mod
els - probably couple Of doz-
en- - may come from some Of
the plants next month. Most
manufacturers, however, do not
expect TO get their assembly
lines moving until after October

Still to be disclosed are the

led assorted peace-favored issues on

emerge from losing territory.
Postwar prosperity hopes provided

still leaned toward caution pending
more cutbacks and possible recon-

could not be expected until the jap
