Top GIN Officials See
Record 1949 Output,
Possible Price Rise
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Two top
executives of General Motors Corp,
the worlds largest automobile max
er, yesterday forecast q new record
high production of cars and trucks
this year at near present or even
higher prices.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman of
the board, and c. E. Wilson, presi-
dent, spoke before 400 of the Ma
tons leading executives in a prel-
ude to introduction of new GIN
models Thursday.
Mr.. Wilson said there is no indi-
cation that the sellers market in
automobiles is over. THE basic de-
mand for automobiles continues at
high level, and we will have an
other difficult year in trying to sat-
lsfy the demands of our customers,
he declared.
II expect that in 1949 industry
will surpass all previous records in
the production of 100000 cars and
trucks"
Last year some 5,5OO,00o units
we're turned out, only slightly below
the record year Of 1929.
Mr.. Sloan said: Il don't look for
great reduction in automobile
prices. In fact, they may go up
a little"
Not only did Mr.. Wilson expect
1949 to be banner year for motor
production, but he expected car
sales to continue at a level about
Is per cent higher than prewar
through 1850 and beyond, although
demand in any one year is likely
to change through q wide range

Early Market Rally
Fails 10 Continue
When Demand Fades
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. ia try for
higher price levels all but fizzled
out in the stock market today.
Leading issues were marked up
briskly at the opening but that was
about as far as they got. Before
the session was halg over, demand
showed signs of fading away, al
though, gains of fractions to more
than a point were still in a majority.
Activity slowed after the opening
rush of orders was taken care of.
The chemical group did better
than average, but on limited turn
over. Gains running to more than
2 points were posted for Du Pont,
Allied Chemical, Dow Chemical and
Virginia-Carolina Chemical common
and preferred.
American Telephone dug in for a
stand after three sessions of heavy
pressure. The stock sold fractionally
higher most of the time.
Also ahead were Cocoa Cola,
Kroger Co., United States Steel,
Chrysler, Woolworth, Schenley,
Commonwealth Edison, Consolidated
Edison, Phelps Dodge, Westinghouse
Electric, Eastman Kodak, Owens
Illinois, American Woolen, Southern
Railway, Nickel Plate, Mission Corp.
and Twentieth Century-Fox.
Commonwealth and Southern was
heavily traded off and on, including
one edal of 10000 shares at a u
point gain.
Marked down tri1e were Youngs-
town Sheet, General Motors, Sears,
Roebuck; Boeing, Consolidated
Natural Gas, General Electric,
Philip Morris, Radio Corp. and
Gulf Oil.
Corporate bonds tended upward,
including American Telephone issues
on fairly substantial volume. United
States Governments held steady in
over-the-counter dealings.

As noted elsewhere in todays
Star, Jonathan Daniels of Raleigh,
N. c., gave the bankers an unusual
talk on the meaning of The Tru-
man Program" and the significance
of Inauguration day.
The report of Ralph Endicott
showed Washington is still enjoying
a business boom and the address by
Frank A. Southland, jr., Federal Re-
serve Board, on foreign financial
conditions, was optimistic.
ID. C. Exchange Remains Open.
With the New York Stock EX-
change open as usual on Inaugural
ton Day, the governors have decided
to keep the Washington Stock Ex-
change open regardless of the legal
holiday in the District. The New
York exchange Offices here also will
be open with small stats, the same
to be true of the investment Offices

The Reconstruction Finance Corp,
reports insured or guaranteed mort
cages totaling s38,58l 900 were pur-
chased in December by the Federal

Telephone Stock Active.
Until recently American Tele-
phone & Telegraph stock rarely has
appeared in the daily trading on the
Washington Stock Exchange, al
though listed for many years. 1t
now appears on the board nearly
every day. There were 13 separate

O single days turnover.
The activity in the stock is draw
ing a great deal Of attention in the

WHY BUY
STOCKS?

That's a fair question that deserves
q straight answer.
All right. Here 1t IS: To make a
better return on your surplus saw
ines-the money you have left after
you've paid your bills and put
enough aside to protect your future.
But would your money be safe,
would the return be sure!
We're not in the business Of SELL
ing sure things. No broker is,
because he knows risk is an inevi-
table part of ssy investment-no
matter where you put your money.
But we do believe that listed stocks
represent both a better and a ssrsr
investment than most people realize.
Look at the record.
In 1e4s-the year just ended
roughly 90% of the common stocks
listed on the New York Stock Ex.
change paid dividends, and those
dividends averaged about 6% of the
price at the end of the year. Some
paid more. Some paid less.
Is that typical-or was i94s an
unusually good year?
Judge for yourself. Here are the
