WhoIesuIing Off so
For Merchandise

The Census Bureau has esti-
that sales of merchant
wholesalers declined by 5 per
cent between August and Sep
tember, mainly because of fewer
business days in September.
The drop was from S12.4 bill
lion to $1l.8 billion. These fig
ures were not adjusted to take
normal seasonal factors and
trading day differences into ac-
count.
The report estimated whole
sale inventories at Sl3 billion,
virtually unchanged from Au-
gust.

About $4,000
Off in Month

DETROIT, Nov. 2 (AP).-The
Nations auto manufacturers
built $4,000 passenger cars in
October, down about 10000
from last year, they reported
today.
A strike by the United Auto
Workers Union which closed
Ford for almost two weeks ac-
counted for the drop. Ford's

25l cars was off $1,000 from
IA year ago.
General Motors, accounting
for Sc per cent of the indus
try's total. built 312,870 cars

units behind the 1860 pace.
So far 4,242,516 cars have been
built this year against S, ,574,351
in the first 10 months of last
year.
The 10 compact cars ac-
counted for 1927 per cent of
October production with 1872
32l units. Rambler was the
No. builder followed by Fal-
con and Corvair. Last year
the same 10 cars accounted
for a total of 201,046 units in

bier the leading builder fol-
lowed by Falcon and Comet.

Tariff Walls Rise
And above all is the fact Of
the Common Market, which Is
on its way to becoming the
most powerful economic COM
munity on the globe. The auto
makers in the inSider nations
are now on a merger spree, are
strengthening themselves BY
diversifying. are crossing bor-
ders to set up plants, distrib-
ute, sell. The member coun-
tries are in an unprecedented
boom, are expanding at a rate
which dwarfs ours, are in the
process Of admitting Britain
and others.
Because Europe Is prosper
ing so, she's buying more over
all from US, and thus the chal-
lenge still is under the surface.
But the auto show dramatized
what competitive industries be-
hind the common tariff wall
can mean to American sales
and jobs.
We simply must wake up in
time, overhaul our trade poll
cies, adjust our attitudes. Our
businessmen, union leaders,
Congressman must begin to fig
ure out now what we're going
to do to push down that wall
and how we're going to meet
the competition.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Autos in the Common Market
BY SYLVIA PORTER

PARIS - Packed into the
huge, glass dom d Grand
Palais were the latest models of
all the major automakers in
the world, including the United
States standard and compact
cars. This was the auto exposi-
ton in Paris, which attracts
more visitors to this French city
each year THAN any other event.
To us, however, it turned out
to be much more than great
auto show. 1t was a preview
Of the trade problems Ameri-
cans face in a Europe which is
rapidly uniting and prospecting
behind its wall of tariffs. Even
though American autos are ex-
traordinarily vulnerable to COM
petition abroad, I wish every
industrialist, union leader and
lawmaker in the United States
could have seen this exposition.
For after the experience, none
could have an illusion left about
how tough and rough fight
we're into for overseas markets.
In price, American cars, are
so out-classed, it's amazing we
haven't lost more of the world
market than we have-and our
share already has slumped from
/ "a per cent in 1949 to 40 per
cent now. while West Europe's
slice has jumped from 13 to
4 36 per cent.
Small Cars Cheap
European makers are offer
| ing small cars for $1,000 ard
under, are offering quite ade-
quate models for a few hundred
dollars more. In contrast. our
high production costs, plus
transportation, plus tariffs, plus
national sales taxes raise the
price of our cars to several
thousands. What's more, it's
going to get worse as the ma
tions united in the Common
Market eliminate the tariff
walls for insiders, maintain
them against outsiders. Right
now. the Common Market
tariffs tack 27-29 per cent onto
the price of our cars, the British
rate tacks on 80 per cent-big-
time money on a product as
expensive as an auto.
In size, we're continuing to
offer cars so outsized that one
might suspect United States
automakers just don't care
about fighting.
I'm writing here about the
made lin United States product,
not the models produced by
overseas subsidiaries of our auto
firms. These overseas products
are competitive, but they don't
employ workers within the
United States. Only the small
est of our compacts appear
right in most of Europe. Our
larger cars actually are a haz-
ard on the old, narrow. bicycle-
crowded roads Of the Continent.
In operating costs, we're out
of the running. With gas cost
ing 81 a gallon in France, our
fuel-eating autos are luxuries
most Europeans wouldn't want,
even if they could afford them.
In planning for the future
with the made : in United
States product. we appear to
have the notion that we're
ahead "a dangerous fantasy
indeed.
There's no point in going
over the old ground-that we
helped rebuild these factories
with our billions in gifts and
loans and we helped make
them competitive with our
know-how. The big point today
is that the factories are built
and they're as up-to-date with
pushbuttons and as automated
as any we have. The fact is
that the Europeans have
learned our know-how, are in

Actor Held on S5O,OOO Bond for Back AIi1nOny

ORLANDO, Fla. R - "This is a nightmare" actor Cameron Mitchell said of the circumstances that are keeping him in Orange County Jail under $50,000 bond because his former wife says he is delinquent in alimony pay ments.
 Unless he can raise the bond he may lose the starring role in a 39-Week television series called "The Beachcomber" being filmed here
 Mitchell, AZ, failed in two eff forts for freedom. Circuit Judge Frank A. Smith said he could see no substantial guarantee the actor would remain here under juris- diction of the court unless the high bond remained in effect.
 "Why can't I talk?" Mitchell kept asking his attorneys during the hearing.
 After the judge ended the hear ing, Mitchell fell to his knees with hands clasped.
 "Please, your Honor" he cried. ''In the name of Jesus Christ - my father was a minister - let me talk, please. My very life is at stake"
 Judge Smith ordered Mitchell taken from the courtroom.
 The TV and movie actor ap- parently will remain in Orange County Jail until March 6, when a hearing is scheduled on his Wife's complaint, unless he raises the $50,000 bond.
 One of Mitchell's attorneys said so far as he knows the actor doesn't have enough to put up 2 $500 bond, much less $50, ,000."
 Mitchell said he gave his wife everything when they separated 512 years ago after 16 years of marriage.
 q have nothing noW," he told o lCpOl tCl.
 He said he has to pay his wife about 40 per cent of his gross income under an interlocutory de- cree issued in California last May. Papers filed in the case in d!cated he was ordered to pay her "A per cent.
 q have to live too," he said. Forty per cent for her, 10 pc cent to an agent, per cent to a manager - it all comes to about 128 per cent.
 ''I paid her $2,05O a month for five years. I come from a poor family. When I think of these sums of money she's spending, I get sick inside. That's all we used to fight about was money"
 His wife Johanna, daughter of a wealthy meat packer lives in Pacific Palisades, Calif., with their four children.

Importation of Reindeer Provided a New Industry for Alaska
By Robert Grant

Although reindeer were into duced into Alaska in the last ten years of the 18th Century, few people know a great deal about the industry. Here are a few ran dom statements that might be of interest:
 Originally, approximately 1,200 animals formed the nucleus, most of them being in the vicinity of Teller.
 The main purpose of importa- tion was to provide food for Es- kimos in view of the threatened game depletion and provide an in dustry for Eskimo people,
 All reindeer in Alaska are owned by Eskimos or by the U. s. Federal Government.
 Skins are utilized for bedding and the making of garments. The meat, including heart, liver and tongue is used for food, some of 1t being sold in commercial mar ketS.
 Reindeer can be used for pack ing. A few are still used for drawing sleds for herd camps in winter.
 Some live reindeer are sold to purchasers in the lower AS states each year for display purposes.
 The average grown reindeer in Alaska stands about 1012 hands high (42 inches) An adult steer or bull, four to five years of age may stand near 50 inches tall. A good steer in prime condition killed in November may dress 200 pounds.
 Reindeer lawns at birth weigh from 2 to Is pounds and will double their birth weight in IA to 16 days.
 A small Well-balanced herd Q,200 reindeer) on the Alaska mainland can be expected to show a 55 to 60%o faWn crop each sea- son. The percentage is calculated on the number af adult females only Some yearlings will general ly have lawns also
 An old U. s. Department of Agriculture bulletin, no longer in print, lists 100000 square miles of range land in Alaska especial ly suited to raising reindeer. The bulletin states that "the carry ing capacity of such an area should be approximately 4,OO0,- 900 reindeer"

Audit Committee Unabie to Locate Airport Funds

ooNI1AC MI - Legislative AQ- dit Division Supervisor George Morrison testified yesterday his auditors were unable to locate the Airport Construction Revolving Fund in the books of the Division of Aviation.
 Morrison's testimony came on the third day of an exhaustive investigation by the Senate into Legislative Audit Committee re- ports on various state agencies.
 Sen. R. J. McNealy, w h O brought out that Morrison is not a certified public accountant, all though testimony was offered in- dicating Morsison had done a large share of the work on the Aviation Divisions books for the Audit Committee, asked:
 'In your examination of the records of any department, did you find any shortage of funds?"
 Morrison replied:
 q would say the records of some were such that we could not find some funds"
 McNealy's question was later tied specifically to the Airport Construction Revolving Fund. The Legislative Audit Committee has called the books of the Division of Aviation "inauditable.'
 Robert l.. Dyer, Legislative Au- ditor, told the Senate there are actually three Airport Construc- tion Revolving Funds, one for the period prior to June 30, 1859, which was replenished automat- ically from aviation fuel taxes, and separate ones for fiscal 1860 and fiscal 1861.
 The Senate questioning of var iOuS witnesses was particularly intense in regard to the unauthor- iZed transfer of funds appropri- ated by the Legislature for speci- fife purposes, including travel funds.
 Witnesses Called 10 Testify
 During the course of the 3-hour afternoon session, the Senate call ed as witnesses Mrs. Elaine Doore, an employe in the Department of Education's accountants office; Richard J. Penrod, the chief ac- cOuntant for the department; State Librarian, Helen Dirtadian; and assistant education commits sioner, Theron F. Borden.
 All four were questioned close ly about statement in the Leg islative Audit Committees re- port which indicated that the State Attorney Generals office had orally cleared the transfer of travel money to other pur- poses.
 Miss Dirtadian told the Senate she was the one who actually re- quested transfer of the Travel Funds to other purposes. She said she did so because had the Travel funds remained unspent, the state would have lost federal matching funds of 2-1.
 Sen. John Coghill, Chairman of the Legislative Audit Committee, expressed concerned at the lack of compliance by a majority of state agencies with request by the committee two years ago for an inventory of equipment.
 'FWhen it comes time again to appropriate money for equip ment, Pm going to be pretty stingy," Coghill said.
