Auto Output
Sales Keep
On Soaring

DETROIT. AP-Nearing the end
of the years first quarter the auto
industry is racking up record
smashing production and retail
sales totals.
So far this year more than l.
100000 cars have been built. Re-
tail deliveries in the same period
are estimated at around 100000
The production total includes half
a million March assemblies. The
month should yield close to 100000
cars. Retail deliveries should top
1874 million.
Tentative schedules call for pro-
duction of another 2 million cars
in the April-June quarter. Retail
sales show no sign of leveling off.
These are the things that look
good in appraising the auto indus
try's operations. But trade quar-
ters hold widely divergent views
as to what the soaring production
and booming retail sales rates will
do to the industry's future market.
Depending upon whom you talk
with. the industry is headed for its
biggest year or to a sharp slump
after mid-year.

ieve.
X-RAY TESTS URGED
Early lung cancer can be de-
tected by X-ray. The silent shad-
oW" of cancer of the lung shows
up when the disease is most cur
able.
The ACS spokesmen advise men
to have annual chest X-rayS along
with a thorough physical examina-
ton. Men over As should have two
chest X-rays a year because the
heaviest incidence of lung cancer
begins to occur at this age.
If this admonition is widely fol-
lowed, lung cancer deaths can be
expected to drop, and this would
be reflected in a reduced overall
cancer death rate.
ACS officials assert that the de-
clining cancer death rate among
women can be traced to the Wig
orous public education program
which started in 1886 and received
great impetus with the reorgan-
ization of the American Cancer
Society in l945. With extra en-
phaSis on the weapons now avail
able greater progress is anticipat-
ed for the future.

Early Detection Aids Can Cut
Cancer Deaths ACS Asserts

Doctors are saving lives from
cancer but not fast enough, the
American Cancer Society disclosed
in surveying the past ten years of
progress.
ACS statistics show that with
one alarming exception cancer in
the major body areas where that
disease develops is no longer in
creasing substantially as a cause
of death. The exception is lung
cancer, which claimed about 240.-
900 lives last year, 10000 among
men.
Cancer occurring in the five 9TH
er major areas is leveling off in
the death statistics. and there
have been sizeable gains against
the uterine type AS a result, the
death rate from cancer among
women between 25 and rs has de-
clined 10 per cent in the last de-
cade.
The American Cancer Society
expects that the attack against
cancer Of the breast will soon be
reflected in dropping death rates
The key to this effort to save lives
is the technique of breast self -eX-
animation which teaches women
to examine their breasts once a
month for tiny Jumps or irregu-
laritieS which might mean the

EXPECT LEVELING

Taking the view that there must
be a sharp leveling off in car de-
mand after mid-year are many
analysts and economists not di-
rectly associated with the auto
industry. Some, if not many. of
these authorities hold that pro-
duntion rate of more than nine
million cars year is out of pro-
portion to the overall market re-
quirementS.
Some experts attribute the cur
rent high production rate entirely
to the competition among the in
dustry's big Three" of General
Motors. Ford and Chrysler. And.
a few of the experts add, if sharp
drop in the car market lies ahead
there is nothing the car makers
right now can do to prevent it.
These analysts picture the larg-
er car makers carried along by
competitive forces they cannot
control.
1t has become something of
tradition in the auto industry that
boom years almost invariably are
followed by substantial declines in
overall production. At the. same
time the records show that since
World War II production and sales
volume have been edging up to-
ward an entirely new plateau.
YEARLY RECORD
Following the record output of
1850 which came to 6.657,000 cars,
assemblies dropped the following
year to 5.315, 900; they fell off an
other million units in 1852, and
then bounced back to 6,113,000 in
1858.
Last year more than 5-1i2 mil
lion cars were built in U. S. fac
tories. 1t is interesting in this con-
nection to note that final regis
tration figures show retail sales in
1854 topped production by about
10000 units. There was an inven-
tory carry-over Jan. l, 1854, OF
about 465, 900 new cars.
Some sources close to the auto
industry attribute the feverish new
car buying so far this year to a
large extent of fears of war and
labor troubles. At the same time,
they say. there never has been a
time when the public had so much
eXpendable cash available.

tabishment that offers the type
of training he will need.
Q-What are examples Of the
various types of goals?
Am educational goal would
be the attainment of a diploma,
degree or certificate showing
scholastic achievement. A pro-
fessional goal would be law. me
dicine or some other profession.
A vocational goal would be the
Job the training leads to, such
as steamfitter or machinist.
Q-What if a veteran wants
help in deciding upon goal?
Ava vii provide him with
educational and vocational guild
ance. if he desires it. In such a
case, he should indicate that he
wants counseling in his applica-
ton for GI training.
Q-May a veteran train in a
school outside the United States?
Ayes, provided his course is
tc be taken in an approved in
stitutiOn OF higher learning.
Q-Are there any courses not

Q-May a veteran take any
other so-called avocational or
recreational courses?
A-Only if he submits justifi-
cation to VA that the course will
be of bona fide use in his present
or contemplated business or oc-
oupation. VA approval should be
obtained before starting his
course.
Q-How does a veteran 90 a.
bout applying for Korean GI Bill
training?
Ale must obtain an applica-
ton blank-VA Form 7-l990-at
any VA office; fill it out COM
pletely; attach photostatic or GER
titled copies of both sides of his
discharge or separation paper

presents this to his school or
training establishment, and ar
ranges with the school or estab-
liShment to start his training.

Farm World
Keeping Eye
On Surplus

WASHINGTON, March AP-
American farmers. farm officials
and taxpayers have company over
seas in worrying about Uncle
Sans seven billion dollar stock
pile of agricultural Sulpluses.
Farmers in other parts of the
world and their governments are
keeping a wary eye on those sur
pluseS and actions taken by this
country to dispose of them. The
big supplies throw a shadow over
foreign markets as we'll as those
in this country.
PRICES CORNERED
American producers are unhap-
py over the surpluses because they
tend to hold down agricultural
prices and force them to restrict
production. Farm officials suffer
headaches trying to figure out
how to get rid of them, and tax
payers are wondering just how
much it is going to cost them.
Overseas. commercial producers
are worried about U. S. efforts to
move some of the SurpluSeS into
export markets because any action
along this line affects prices in
world markets. Often foreign gov
arnmentS feel impelled to take Off
setting measures to protect their
own producers.
XN1nrNny-n, tl1iS CT sfS,
moving some extra supplies into
the export market, it takes outlets
that had been filled previously by
other countries.
Such o. S. offers also often force
competitive SlaShea in prices that
are reflected in lower incomes for
farmers in other countries.
The U. S. surplus problem is a
particularly ticklish subject in in
ternationai relations at this time.
That's because some congressman
are demanding that the Agricul-
ture Department take more ag-
gresSive measures to sell surpluSeS
abroad.
go SLOW"
The State Department has
thrown up go slow" sign lest
such measures damage u S. rela-
tionS abroad.
This and other countries two
years ago foresaw the possibility
of farm surpluses rising in major
exporting countries during the
postwar period. The suggestion
was made that affected countries
should collaborate in handling
such problems.
Accordingly, the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organiza-
ton. of which this country is a
member, set up consultative sub
committee to provide an interna-
tional forum for discussion of sur
plus problems. The subcommittee
meets regularly in Washington

NEW METHOD AIDS
DETECTION

The progress against cancer of
the uterus will be speeded when
the Papanicolaou smear method of
detection is more widely used. This
is based on the discovery that even
early cancers shed cells in body
fluids. These cells can be picked up
in a uterine smear from which a
slide is prepared and examined un-
Ger the microscope by specially
trained technologiStS. Cancers so
early that they show no other
signs have been discovered in this
way Women over 35 are urged to
have pelvic examinations twice a
year.
The problem of lung cancer
probably is the greatest challenge
facing cancer control efforts. A
relatively rare disease 40 years ago.
cancer of the lung is now a major
.>t 0f death. Only about five per
cent of all lung cancers are cured
today but with early detection and
prompt surgical treatment this fig
ure could be changed to at least

While local cancer of the breast
