War Knudsen Says
8y the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Sept. 14.-Approxi-
mately 10 per cent of General Mo-
tors production facilities in Europe
and England were destroyed during
the war and there is no way Of tell
ing when they can be restored, &C
cording to William S. Knudsen.
Mr.. Knudsen, who resigned the
General Motors presidency to direct
this Nations war production effort
and rejoined the corporation a few
weeks ago, has just returned from
an inspection tour of European and
English cities.
He told press conference yes
terday 1T will take SO years to re-
pair all the damage done to Ber-
lin," and God only knows when
there may be market for automo-
biles again in Germany"
Mr.. Knudsen visited the Scandi-
navian countries, Belgium, Ger
many and France on 31-day tour.
He described the destruction in Ber-
| lin as horrible" An atomic bomb,
he said, could not have done more
complete job of it, although it might
have done it more quickly"
There's tremendous market for
American goods over there in Eu-
rope he said, IF means can be
found to finance it. Everybody
wants something"
BY December / we should be
sending some parts from here to
some of the European plants. We
may get 10 per cent of our prewar
production of cars at that time"
| Mr.. Knudsen said the General
Motors plant at Antwerp must be
rebuilt. He described it as SO per
cent destroyed. Those at Copen-
hagen and Stockholm, he said, were
"all right" They had prewar
production capacity of about 10000
cars each.
The only thing that will bring
Europe back" he said, is for every
body to go back to work-and work
like hell"
That can be applied to us here
at home, too," he added. smiling.
There's no question of Germany
being licked this time" he said.
You can see it in the faces of the
people. There is no talk, as there
was after the last war, of the un-
beaten army coming home"
Questioned concerning rumors
that he might associate himself
with interests in the automotive in
dustry other than General Motors,
Mr.. Knudsen said:
Il have no plans; I'm still here"

ing rate.

preceding week. 300 900 in the first

Employment Increases.
Without making any estimates as
to numbers, VINO reported ''signifi-
cant increases" in industrial re-em-
ployment. 1t said local Offices of
the United States Employment
Service continued to list "substan-
tial numbers" of job openings.
VINO statisticians estimated In
formally that job openings totaled
about 100000. They explained, how
ever, that while this many job OPEN
ingS were actually listed with USES
Offices. some probably have been
filled. There is a time lag between
the referral of worker to a job
and the report showing whether
he got it.
The total of 100000 laid off in
/ the three weeks following the end
of the war. VINO stressed, is not a
yardstick of total unemployment.
The report does not take into &C
count the number of workers who
have been rehired in peacetime jobs
after losing war jobs.

In the Seattle-Bremerton (Wash.) }
area, 23,700 workers were laid off in

pared with $500 in the preceding
week. Other areas reporting layoffs
exceeding 10000 were Los Angeles,
18,900; Detroit, 21,000; New York
City, $4,000.
Layoffs in the Western States to-
tailed $1,000, the highest for any re-
gion. This resulted principally from
drastic curtailment in shipbuilding
and aircraft production.
New England was least affected,
with layoffs of 4,200, mostly in Mass
