In a handy and handsome
travel kit, Buick mentions
among many other things, the
growing popularity Of the con-
vertible - "once regarded as
a car for college kids"
During 1861, the United
States auto industry built 274,-
946 convertibles, or Al per cent
Of the total volume produced.
Buick devoted 8.6 per cent Of
its production to the "soft-tops
in 1861 and boosted the figure
to ia per cent this year.
There is still the school of
thought which thinks of the
convertible as cold in winter.
I have never owned anything
but soft-topS and find them as
comfortable as any sedan, sum-
mer or winter-with one ex-
ception. That was a trip across
the soaring heat of a Mexican
desert, when it became so hot
we had to put up the top and
roll UP the windows to coll off.

ON WHEELS

Remember the good old days
when you could drive into your
car dealers place, get an oil
change, fabrication and tires
crisis crossed while you
thumbed through a magazine?
There may be new hope.
Last week in Dedham, Mass,
ChrySIer's vice president C. E.
Briggs, told Chrysler service
managers that quick service
auto maintenance and repair
facilities offering motorists
while you wait" service are
opening up exciting new busi-
ness opportunities for new car
dealers"
AS most anyone knows, the
usual pattern around Washing
ton in getting maintenance
service is Interchangeable
ment, just as you do with the
doctor or dentist.
AS Mr.. Briggs explained it,
the system operates much the
same as a quick service counter
in a Supermarket, speeding up
the checkout of customers pur-
chasing only a few items. In
the service department of a
new car leadership it means
setting up the operation so a
customer can drive his car in
for minor repair and get the
work done while he waits.
To aid dealers in setting I'D
quick service operations Chrys-
Ter has developed a program of
Express Service" with de-
tailed suggestions on how to or
ganize for limited or full scale
operations. The program lists
equipment requirements and
answers a wide variety of ques-
tons showing the benefits of
express service.
Mr.. Briggs also cited zone of
the induStry's most pressing
needs-recruitment and train
ing Of new service personnel"
There is an immediate need
for 100000 additional trained
service technicians right now"
he said. eff we are to maintain
the present national ratio of
one mechanic for every 81 We
hicles we will need 10000 new
men each year."

The firms expelled from the

Shrinking Profits
Called Dangerous
By SYLVIA PORTER

occurs, it almost always in the
past has been followed by a fall
in total dollar profits.
Unless businessmen can fore
see the profits they think they
need to carry on successfully,
they're not going to increase
their spending for plants and
equipment on a scale that is
imperative for economic growth.
Unless businessmen have con-
fidence their profits are not 60
ing to shrink. they actually may
cut back on these essential in
vestments.
This cutting back "is precisely
what has been happening in the
past six years." says William
F. Butler, vice president of New
York's Chase Manhattan Bank
and a nationally respected
economist whose natural in
clination is to be optimistic. On
the surface. total business
spending on plants and equip
ment is slated to rise to an all
time dollar high in 1862. But
the dollar total is only a tiny bit
above the previous peak set
back in 1857.
Even more revealing is the
fact that when the ratio of this
business spending to all spend
ing-Gross National Product
is checked, the ratio is shown
as down from Is per cent of the
total in the earlier postwar Pc

Rod to less than liz per cent
in the 1882 period.
Why the prolonged squeeze
on profit margins?
Costs Rise Steadily
First, manufacturing costs
have been rising steadily-noS |
only because of wage hikes
and expanding fringe benefits
for production workers, of |
course, but also because there
has been an increasing proper
ton of higher-paid workers in
white collar jobs and industry
has invested huge sums in ma
chimes and has not yet been
able to offset the expenses of
these machines by lower labor
costs.
At the same time, industrial
prices have been stable for the
past four years.
At the same time, because of
the sluggish growth in our
economy, neither sales nor pro-
duction have climbed fast
enough to absorb industry'S ca
pacity.
1.-THE economy has been
caught in a vicious circle where
an initial squeeze on profits
led to low business capital in
vestment, a showdown in the
rate of economic growth, and a
further squeeze on profits"
warns Mr.. Butler-and his
answer to breaking out of the
vicious circle is the one more
and more thoughtful observers
are coming to-''tax reduction
large enough to eliminate the
profits gap which is now hold
ing back investment and mod
ernization" plus restraint on
costs.
If we fail to act along these
lines, we're in for another
abortive recovery in general
business, followed by some re-
adjustment next year"

$4,000 in total life insurance
in force during the first four
months of 1862, bringing its
total to $834.7 million.
William T. Leith, president,
said the increase was ITS per
cent greater than the gain in
the same period last year.

year. Investment income was
$1,933,000 or 6.24 per cent

EAL DiscIoses
Air Shuttle Is
A Big Success

NEW YORK, June IL (AP)
Eastern Air Lines today lifted
the lid Of financial secrecy
from its do-it-yourself "air
shuttle" The figures showed
the service has been a subStan-
tial money-maker,
AS it prepared to haul its
one millionth shuttle customer
on the Boston-New York-Wash-
ington route, expected today,
Eastern disclosed January
March quarter profits on the
operation exceeded 100000.
Without the shuttle earnings,
the air carrier would have run
into the red in the first quar-
ter, since systemwide opera
tions-including the shuttle
Melted only $4,000.
Eastern lost heavily in 1861
and had not returned a profit
for the January-March period
since 1859.
Heretofore, Eastern, while
maintaining the shuttle was
profitable, kept the wraps on
details, saying it wanted to keep
the information away from
competitors.
On the Boston-New York leg,
Eastern completes with seven
other carriers.
Spokesman for some of these
had expressed skepticism that
the shuttle was making money.
Eastern mostly uses old,
fully-depreciated, 95-seat Lock-
heed Constellation planes.
There is no food and drink
service.

Proposal for

NEW YORK, June IL (AP) -
The American Stock Exchange

made public today a proposed
sweeping overhaul of it's consti-
tuition.
In the main, the 86-page
document would firmly lodge
day-to-day operating response
bilitieS in the exchange pres
ident and his staff, and revamr
the board of governors as q
policy-making unit.
Under the present constitu-
ton, the executive and policy
making functions have been
intertwined.
This diffusion of authority,
and its consequences, were
sharply criticized by the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission,
which last January 5 assailed
the exchange for allowing
manifold and prolong e d
abuses" of laws and rules for
protection of the investing
public.
Major changes in American

ating practices already have
been occasioned by the seven

Narrowing of profit margins

and unless the situation is
corrected soon, the nation could
be heading for serious economic
trouble.
The shrinking of profit mar
gin = meaning the percentage
of profit a corporation earns

evident in statistics collected
by the Government.
The narrowing may be seen
in a key statistic called the ratio
of price to unit labor cost in
manufacturing which is COM
piled and published by the
Commerce Department. The
ratio - and again, to put it in
plain words, it shows the trend
between what a manufacturer
gets for his goods and what it

down from a peak of 1858 in
August, 1861, to 104 this past
April. This says that manu-

caught between stable prices
and rising costs of production.
