BY ASHER LAUREN

DETROIT.-This city is now PIN
ming its hopes on the 1857 models
TO pull the auto industry out OF its
doldrums and touch off new pro-
duction race.
But the introduction Of the shiny
new models is still four months
away.
Present timetables call for the
unveiling of the 1857 Ford line
around September IS. Chrysler ex-
poets to introduce it's new models
late in October. General Motors
will be showing its new cars around
November /.
Currently the biggest headache
confronting the automakers is the
unprecedented total of 1856 models
in dealers hands. This has reached
100000. At this time of year $50 900
cars is considered a normal in
ventory.
The problem is how to slash that
inventory and at the same time
keep men at work producing more
cars until the end of the 1856 model
run.
Even the most optimistic in the
industry now concede that the
expected spring upturn in auto
sales has fallen fiat.
More Loyoffs Aheod
More layoffs are ahead. General
Motors will adjust production fur
ther beginning Monday. So ret
icent are the auto companies be-
coming about discussing layoffs that
they no longer reveal the full extent
Of them.
The GIN cutback Monday fol-
lows a statement by Harlow H.
Curtice. president Of the giant cor
poration, that he believes sales OF
new cars by the entire industry this

The Promise

The Kremlin made its military
cut unilaterally and uncondition-
ally. although it did call on the
United States, Britain and France
to follow its example.
There was the usual measure Of
guile in this suggestion, OF course.
The Soviet Union used to have
and presumably still has-some
100000 uniformed security troops,
equipped with tanks and artillery
and at least as well trained as the
regular forces This near-half-
million force is not counted in
Soviet military force levels. Also,
in any large war the Soviet Union
would be operating from interior
lines Of communication. which re-

Detroit Hopes 1857 Model Cars
Will End Its Production Slump

year will skid ZIG per cent from
the record level of last year.
That represents a considerable
drop in Mr.. Curtice's optimism
since last January. when he pre-
dicted that the decline in produc-
ton this year would amount to
only 12.1 per cent.
He said it now appears that do
nestle demand for new cars will
not exceed So million units. Sales
in 1855 reached IA million units.
AS a result of the curtailments in
auto production, which began at
some companies as early as last
December, unemployment in the
three-county Detroit area has
scared to around $4,000.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams yes

meeting of his Full Employment
Committee for Thursday to discuss
mounting unemployment.
How does the average auto
worker now laid off or putting in
three and four-day work weeks
view the situation? He mostly goes
along with Walter P. Reuther. pres
ident of the United Automobile
Workers. who points an accusing
finger at the auto companies.
ReckIessness Charged
From the unions headquarters
located on the old Edsel Ford estate.
Mr.. Reuther hurls charges that the
auto workers are victims Of the
reckless, irresponsible scheduling of
production on the part of the in
dustry in 1885,"
The reckless and irresponsible"
production scheduling left record
Of 100000 unsold cars at the end
of 1855 and now has pushed the
inventory to 100000. he said.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-20

An impressive and cleverly timed
announcement last Monday that
the Soviet Union is demobilizing
roughly a fourth of her formal
military establishment-1.2 million
men-waS greeted with a mixture
of hopeful caution and cautious
hope throughout the non-Soviet
world last week.
Most of the caution came from
the United States. Most of the
hope came from the rest of the
world. including some of Americas
closest allies.
At minimum, the projected cut
confirms again-as Defense Minis
ter Georgi Zhukov did last Febru-
ary-that Kremlin military. strait
egistS have accepted the United
States basic theory on the ascend
ancy of nuclear air power and the
decline in Importance of large
standing armies.
At maximum. it might indicate
that the Kremlin has no intention
of launching a large war for sew
eral years. No one was ready to
believe, however, that the Soviet
Union had given up its long-range
goal of world domination.
Secretary of Defense Charles E.
Wilson acknowledged that the So
Wet cut was "a step in the right
direction, but warned that 1t
alone would probably not appre-
Gladly alter Soviet military power"
Radio Moscow characterized the
move as a magnanimous gesture to
inspire world disarmament, blaming
the poor results at the recent Lon
don talks on the West.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles remarked. however, that
many of the men may merely be
leaving unproductive guard duty"
to take up much more productive
work, possibly in actual weapons
manufacture.
This official skepticism was pro-
Jected against perhaps uninten-
tlonal background OF continued
American emphasis on prepared
ness. On Wednesday some 70
medlum-range jet bombers. the
crack B-47s which form the back
bone OF our Strategic Air Command,
flew over Washington in a "prac-
tice run" for Armed Forces Day.
AT the same time q large con-
tingent OF our armed forces were
standing by of Eniwetok atoll in
the Pacific for a test H-bomb drop
from a B-52 intercontinental Jet
bomber.
Yesterday all three services staged
their annual Armed Forces Day
shows throughout the world. But
a scheduled 72-plane B-47 fly-by
was suddenly pared down to as
planes in an effort to avoid criti-
cism of Saber-rattling.
Great Britain, which greeted the
Soviet military forces reduction
with only little less caution than
the United States, also found itself
providing a bellicose contrast for
the Kremlin's peace-coated an
nouncement. On Wednesday she
exploded one of her rare expert
mental atomic bombs off Australia.
Then. perhaps to compensate, a
72,000-man cut in Britains armed
forces, announced last October, was
re-announced on Thursday. The
reduction brings British strength
down to 100000 men. London also
declared its intention to expand
trade with Communist China in
some items which the United
States still regards as strategic.

Steel

The present fluid picture in steel
has added considerably to the gen.
eral uneaSiness. In this uncertain
situation, one thing is certain: An
increase in the base price. Prices
already are going up on many spe-
cialty products from the rolling
mills.
The overall increase will come
on July l. This, barring unforeseen
complications will be the effective
date Of the new steelworkers' con-
tract. The United Steelworkers'
Wage Policy Committee met last
week and laid down wage and bene-
fit demands that the industry esti-
mated would be equivalent to a
Demonstrations wage increase.
Negotiations start May %.
Industry spokesman concede
generally that there is little hope
they will be able to escape a costly
settlement which will result in price
increases estimated variously at
ITOm ~ q ton 10 SID a ton.
Steel sales in recent months have
been so tremendous that orders
for a time came in faster than they
could be filled. But most of the
boom clearly was due to inventory
buying-heavy purchases made in
anticipation of the impending
price increase. So, when July l
comes around, because of price
increases and the large supply
stockpiled by many industries, sales
are likely to drop sharply, thus
forcing reduced steel production.
Already the larger producers Of
appliances are cutting their steel
purchases and reducing inventories.
The only bright prospect is in
the heavy construction industry. a
major steel buyer, but even here
there is a note of warning. For the
first 20 weeks of 1856, heavy con-
struction contract awards ran "a
per cent above the record pace of
1855. But in the week ended Mon
day, contracts totaled $300,211, 900,
compared with $557 100000 the
previous week and $475, 705, 900, in
the same 1855 week.

Balance Sheet
On Cold War

In a world where large wars are
becoming Increasingly unlikely. the
struggle between Communist and
non-Communist ideologies moves
increasingly into the fields of poll
tics and economics. Last weeks box
score in the worldwide struggle
might have given the United States
and its allies three pluses. three
mlnuses. and two draws,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-20

While the basic sectors of the
economy faltered or showed uncer-
tainty, there were counterbalances
in the overall picture: With auto
production down, freight car out
put climbed; home building de-

inflated the 1855 sales" Mr.. Reuther
said. But, in doing so, it chopped
off a large share of the 1856 pro-
duction.
1.-The short work week being re-
sorted to by GIN and Chrysler
corporations means spreading the
burden Of unemployment on the
backs Of the workers." he charged.
The auto union puts the total of
idle auto and parts plants workers
IN the United States at 148,0O0. It
says, however, that the total does
not include recent additional lay
offs.
Mr.. Reuther's views were shared
partly by Carl E. Fribley. president
OF the National Automobile Dealers
Association. Mr.. Fribley said that
overselling in 1855 had taken part
OF the market that should have been
available in 1856.
On the heels of Mr.. FribIey's
statement Wards Automotive Re-
ports. authoritative trade paper. said
the auto firms had nullified the
normal spring upturn in auto sales.
The paper said that the auto
makers have led the public to ex-
pect revolutionary instead of evo-
lutlonary" changes in 1857 models.
This. said Wards. has made BUYERS
shy OF 1856 models and has further
depressed used car prices.
Outwardly. the slump in auto
production has not affected Detroit,s
booming economy much as yet. The
Motor City has grown accustomed
to booms and slumps in the industry
over the years.
Pinch Is Being Felt
The effect of prolonged layoffs
becomes noticeable first in the
neighborhood groceries and shops
in sections where the auto workers
live. Some Of these are now Begin
ming to feel the pinch. However.
supplemental unemployment bene-
fit (SUB) plans are scheduled to 60
into effect at the big three auto
companies in June.
Under such plans any auto worker
with seniority who was on a COM
pany's payroll as of May 2 will be
eligible for SUB payments in June
in addition to his regular State un-
employment compensation.
The SUB plans at GIN. Ford and
Chrysler call for maximum bene-
fit to a laid-off worker. including
the State benefit. of IS per cent Of
normal take-home pay for four
weeks after weeks waiting period.
Thereafter the maximum benefit
for the next % weeks. including
State unemployment compensation.
would be so per cent OF take-home.

Housing

Another soft spot is the housing
market which is continuing sharply
downward after the usual spring
rush to buy failed to materialize.

Although housing starts in April
rose 10 per cent above those in
March, they were 20 per cent below
the starts in April. 1855. Homes
started so far this year are run
ming Is per cent behind the 1855
rate. And in the face of the weak
demand for houses, many builders
are forced to raise their prices be-
cause of higher costs for labor and
materials. According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, building ma
terials alone climbed 6.2 per cent
in the year ended March 81. Labor
costs in some places have jumped
even higher than have materials.
Building industry spokesman have
blamed tight conditions in the
mortgage money market and are
demanding that Uncle Sam slack
en- the reins a bit. The Federal Re-
serve Board recently raised interest
rates to member banks, who passed
the increase along to borrowers.
The move already has made Short
term money tight. and could easily
result in less long-term funds
which all industry must depend
upon for expansion and planning.
