The t1ercest competitive
struggle in history for q share
Of your paycheck and savings
is now developing in this coun-
try.
The fight will get increasing
ly hot in the months ahead:
it will reach a climax this fall
when the auto giants start to

will be Of crucial significance

extraordinary discretion" over
how we're going to handle our
paychecks and savings. And II

A first bidder for our pool of

We are now entering the
spring season, usually the big

dealers will be aggressively

come the long-heralded smaller

Public interest in these al

plosive point, and If the cars
do catch on as a new symbol
Of smart thrift" it is quite
conceivable that 1885 auto
sales curve will be distorted and
spectacular gains will be chalkcd
up later this year. Even If
the compact cars are a disap-
pointment, the pent-up buying
