100000 Auto Output
Predicted This Year
AS War Cutbacks Rise
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| Predicting a flood of steel for
consumer goods at the wars end, a
government official estimated yes
terday that at least 100000 automo-
biles can be built this year-double
the output planned previously.
So far as steel and other materials
are concerned, the production vol
ume of manufacturers could be
much greater, said the spokesman,
an official of the War Production
Board.
Plant facilities limitations and
the time required to get production
rolling will be the only factors re-
stricting output of cars or any other
civilian product" he said.
Even so, the automobile produc-
ton rate early next year is expected
to be or above prewar output OF
100000 cars year.
Cutbacks Dispel Caution.
Earlier, WPB had predicted that
the end of the war probably would
not mean many more cars this year
t1ldll Vic GCO,OOO SSllCoulCo Ot1 q
basis Of the war continuing.
This cautiousness was dispelled,
however, as military plans for huge
munitions cutbacks began to ma
/ terialize.
These plans call for reductions in
Army purchases exceeding $25 ,000,-
100000 on an annual basis. The
Navy already has halted construc-
ton of ships costing sl,200000, 900,
and will make further deep cuts
soon.
All of this led to estimates by
production officials that the current
munitions output rates of about
S48 900 100000 a year probably will
skid to 100000 900 within a few
weeks after VI day. Maintenance,
food purchasing and other miscel
laneous items are expected to keep
military expenditures at about the
same level for some time.
No Problem in Steel.
The WPB official said steel for
consumer goods would be no prob
lem at all. In a few months, he
predicted. the mills will be looking
for orders"
This means. he said, that volume
production of all consumer goods
heretofore not expected until we'll
into l946-will be achieved months
earlier. The speed-up will be no
ticeable particularly in output of
small home appliances such as
toaSters and electric irons.
To help heavy industries produc-
ing, for example, cars, refrigerators
and washing machines, WPB plans
to expedite removal of munitions
machinery and equipment from
such plants, to allow fast and full
reconversion.
WPB to Help Plants.
Priorities assistance authority
granted to the agency by President
Truman to crack civilian produc-
ton bottlenecks will be used chiefly
| to speed expansion of plant facili-
ties.
While overall construction activ-
lty, including the building of homes,
may continue restricted for some
time. due to shortage of lumber,
WPB will give an immediate green
light for any plant construction
which will create jobs in civilian
production.
The purpose of this is to absorb
in peacetime production jobs as
quickly as possible the millions of
munitions workers who will be re-
leased when Japan quits. The War
Manpower Commission estimates
that at least 100000 will be jobless
within so days after the war ends.
Some of those such as older women,
are expected to leave the labor mar
ket.
