tire makers, die makers and as
sorted other workers. There are
10000 industrial establishments in
this country making parts for your

In 1896 the Duryea brothers
sold a car to George H. Morrill, Jr.
of Norwood, Mass. It was the first
known sale of an American gas
powered auto.
Since then this business of sell
ing cars has grown until it now
embraces $4,000 franchised retail
dealers.
Nearly all of thees dealers main
tain repair shops, but in addition
to them there are 5000 non-deal-

They insist, however, that III
years hence from eight to nine
million cars will have to be built
each year to replace those that are
junked and to meet the increas-
ing demands of a mounting popu-
lation.
In recent years annual scrap
page of obsolete passenger cars
has totaled around 3h million
units. The experts say the figure
is abnormally low; in the next de-
cade, they say, it will approximate
fiev million a year.
Basis for Prediction
The forecast of an average an
nual output of from eight to nine
million cars is based primarily on
the assumption that by 1865 the
nations population will be between
1913 and 1875 million persons. Also
figuring in the optimistic outlook
are expectations of a sharp rise in
the proportion of suburban family
units, a further marked increase in
the real incomes of most American
families, the probability that life
in the United States will be char
acterized by increased rather than
decreased mobility as the result of
better highways and more leisure
If the prediction of a possible
annual scrappage of five million
passenger cars sounds more like
wishful thinking than actual ex-
pectation, it might be well to re-
member tremendous advances in
performance, design and equip
ment are in prospect for the next
decade.
Scrappage Could Increase
One leading authority on busi.
ness research for the car industry
remarked recently that "if the
industry should in the years ahead
develop smaller. simpler, quieter

highly efficient engine such as the
gas turbine or free piston, the
scrappage rate of cars probably
would surpass anything we have
yet SEEN"
But none of the auto makers
can-or introduce new rev.
olutionary type of car engine on
short notice. To do so would Grip
pie many collateral industries, for
the gas turbine and free piston en-
gines do not require high octane
fuel, they do not require carbure-
tors, they need only modified
transmissions.
Thus switch from the present
type of power plant to one of the
new units would greatly affect the
business of many of the car indus
try's suppliers. If a change over is
made, it will be on a carefully
planned basis.

Only Farming Is Bigger
In terms of dollars earned, the
only segment of the economy to
exceed the automotive industry is
farming. The farmers of the ma

A Manteo native is playing an
important part in the government
agency which develops and regu-
lates civil aviation. He is one who
has always been watcsed with pride
in his old home town, as his tai
ents became manifest in a rapidly
developing career.
AS Budget and Finance Officer
of the Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration, Arvin Basnight has major
responsibilities in connection with
an appropriation amounting this
year to more than $245,000,000. If
the Presidents budget request is
approved by Congress, he'll have
to worfysabout the proper expcndi-
ture of more than 1886, 000, 900, in
the year beginning July 1, 1857.
Basnight was paid a tribute by
CAA Administrator James T. Pyle
recently in a speech to the Wash
ington chapter of the Aviation
Writers Association. When speak
ing about the funds requested for
CAA next year, Pyle interpolated
a comment that Basnight had done
an excellent job of squeezing any
fat out before the request went on
through channels to Congress.
