Gruenther and Clark
Lead Contenders TO
Succeed Eisenhower
By John A, Giles

Gen. Eisenhower statement
making it clear that he would be
willing to accept the Republican
presidential nomination brought
speculation today as to his possi-
BILE military successor.
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, now
chief of staff to the supreme COM
mander in Europe, and Gen. Mark
Clark, chief of Army field forces
and President Truman's choice for
the controversial ambassadorship
to the Vatican, were high on the
list of contenders but at least four
others, including Gen. Bradley,
were mentioned.
Gen. Eisenhower, who said he
would not ask to be relieved to
campaign for the nomination, was
said to have never talked to his
Pentagon superiors about the pos
sibility of leaving his Paris COM
mand.
Military Withholds Comment.
The Eisenhower statement It.
self was received at the Pentagon
without comment-but also with
out too much surprise.
'The military establishment
will have nothing to say about a
political matter" a spokesman
stated.
In addition to Gems. Grunther
and Clark, others being men
toned as possibilities for the post
were:
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the
United Nations commander in
Korea. His name was high on the
list but his possible choice de-
pended in large measure on
whether a truce comes in the Ko-
rean war.
Bradley Recently Reappointed.
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. His nonai-
nation probably would be accent.
ed by the other members of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton without any difficulty, but
the President only recently named
him to another two-year term in
his present post. It is possible
that Mr.. Truman might not want
to shift Gen. Bradley to Europe
this year, especially when the
Joint Chiefs will be issuing orders
at least indirectly, to any pos
sible Eisenhower successor.
Gen. j. Lawton Collins, Army
chief of staff. He has had the
command and administrative ex-
perience but he does not enjoy
the same prestige in Europe that
Gen. Eisenhower does.
Gen. Thomas Handy, now COM
mander of United States Army
forces in Europe.
Gruenther Familiar With Job.
Gen. Gruenther probably would
have Gen. Eisenhower backing il
he sought to leave the post. In
Paris, he generally is regarded as
a likely successor. And he knows
the job and the problems. But he
has not previously held high COM
mand.
Gen. Clark has commanded an
Army group and also has had the
Experience of the military COVER
norShip of Austria. The President
is expected. to renew his appoint
ment to the Vatican ambassador
ship but the Senate shows little
inclination to confirm it.

Cut in Car Production
To Be Made Despite
Protests Over Jobs
By Froncis P. DouqIos

Automobile production is to be
cut substantially in the second
quarter of this year. despite pleas
by auto manufacturers and labor
leaders that it will mean serious
unemployment.
At the same time concerns
which were cut back most dras-
tically in the use of scarce copper
aluminium and teel-causing Sc
rious unemployment in some
places-are to be given some re-
lief.
This. it was learned today, is
the present plan of experts in
the Defense Production Admins
|tration and the National Produc-
ton Authority. If the figures can
be assembled in time it is ex-
pected that details of the new
metals allotments will be an
nounced tomorrow by Manly
Fleischmann, DPA administrator
Appearing Before Committee.
Mr.. Fleischmann and Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson are
scheduled to appear tomorrow
morning before the Congressional
Joint Committee on the Defense
Production Act.
Metals have been allotted for
the first three months of this year
to produce $50, 1000 passenger cars
The industry was told, however
that if it could produce 1,006, 200
cars through use of less metal per
car, substitutes or absorbing
metals in industry, it could do SO.
For the second quarter a figure
of 100000 cars was set tentatively
The industry complained this
would mean a $4,000 increase in
unemployment. 1t was learned
however, that present plans call
for allotments for a production
figure not much more than this
and at the same time a higher
ceiling as in the first quarter
which the manufacturers may
reach if they can. 80.
Those working on the allotment
figures are described as intent on
making a fair distribution of the
metals which will be available
after substantially increased claims
for military production.
Others Cut Back Further.
The effect of this on the auto
mobile industry was indicated last
week when Henry H. Fowler, now
head of NPA, told auto manufac-
turers that their industry had
been cut back far less than any
other consumer durable goods in
duStry.
At the other end of the scale
is the group OF manufacturers OF
relatively less essential products
who were cut to 10 per cent OF
their pre-Korea use of copper
20 per cent of the aluminium and
so per cent of the steel.
Makers of more essential prod
ucts were given higher allotments
for the first three months of the
year.
It is understood that NPA now
has concluded that it should not
make determinations on the basis
of essentially. It is pointed out
that the Defense Production Act
provides only that various seq
ments of business should receive
a "fair share" of the civilian sup
ply, based, as far as practicable
on the share received before
Korea.
