Auto Makers
Plan More
Cars In SO
By DAVID J. KILKIE
AP AUTOMOTIvE EDITOR

DETROIT R-The auto makers
aren't sure how many cars they
will build this year out already
they are talking about a much
higher 1853 production.
Estimates of this years output
are narrowing down. Most indus
try chroniclerS say the total will
be not more than AGO. 900 cars
and !, 100, 900 trucks. That's a sharp
drop from earlier estimates that
ranged as high as asa million pas
senger cars and 1850 900. trucks.
Any plans for lifting production
controls probably have been upset
by the steel strike. But the auto
makers right now are talking about
increased materials ALLEGATIONS for
all of next year. Talk of produc-
ton quotas for 1858 Immediately
raises questions about how many
cars the industry may sell next
year. If you take the word of the
general sales executives, five mil
lion cars will fall short of next
years probable demand.
The sales chiefs, of course, have
had long range analyses of the
market prepared and they can pre-
sent figures to support their con-
tention that demand will require
five million units next year. They
claim, for example, that this years
indicated output will scarcely take
care Of replacement needs.
However, veteran industry chron.
iclers know that all estimates OF
production and sales potentials in
the auto industry are subject to
sudden revision. 1t is true that the
car makers set their production
schedules primarily upon demand
as far as they can foresee it.
But it is also true that the new
car market is extremely sensitive
to anything affecting the general
economy. Some industry experts
say the recent steel strike brought
on car shortage; there are just
as many who assert that it also
dried up lot of buying power.
II is significant that the steel
strike. and consequent auto produc-
ton cutbaeks did not cause used
car prices to advance more than
moderately.
The trade paper automotiv'
News. which recommends removal
of price ceilings on used cars, notes
this and comments:
AS the effects of the steel strike
fade in the months ahead the prob
lem on used cars viii not be t
prevent prices from running wild
but to sell used cars in sufficient
volume to keep new cars moving. -

Hot rod clubs throughout the

not necessarily dangerous. On the
contrary, the Timing association
says, members learn the limita-

the earlier morning cold. Helen

Helen had. in the presence of
