The year 1941 marked the high point in ¢ enger-car registration, when 29.- 507,133 were registered. The figure for 1943 was 26,- 019,432, and there has been a further heavy decline this year. The 1944 almanac of Automotive News quotes a survey by Nash-Kelvinator which makes the forecast that in each of the first five post-war years a minimum of 3,500,000 cars will be scrapped, but that a total of 34,000,000 will be required by 1950. Produc- tion figures of at least 6,000,000 units a year are fore- seen once the automotive machine really peacetime begins to roll again While the more radical predictions of new-car design seem unlikely to be fulfilled, even after the period when dies and jigs now in storage have been used to make the first post-war models, the consensus is that the cars which can be called new, from a design standpoint, will be even better looking, more comfortable and more economical to operate, although not to buy, than the 1942 medels. A new and mor cooperative relationship between factories and dealers | is also looked for in the industry, with elimination in many cases of distributorships, and therefore a larger margin of profit to the individual dealer. Mean- time, both factory managements and dealers have wisely used the period of enforced holiday in civillan car production to study relationship with the public and a better post-war presentation of their wares. It seems probable that a considerable portion of the new money provided by the huge car market will be plowed back into substantial, convenient and attractive places of business, and that the motor car will be housed in functional quarters which at last have no relationship to the livery stable of the he riage days. Military Planning (Cincinnati Enquirer) There is considerable public about the reported shortage of certain types of am- munition and other war mater! Many Americans are of the opinion that United States soldiers at the front are being sent to battle with only a handful of cartridges; that big guns often are forced to down” because their crews have run out of st Such a picture does not reflect the true state of the ammunition “shortage.” for any military campaig remendous factor is allowed for reserves and un expected contingencies. There always is a great “‘cushion,” both of men and materiel, in several zones of support lying behind the actual zones of operation Each of these support zones is equipped with sizable In drawing plans armics and great quantities of guns, tanks, trucks,|see on their books substantial fig-1 food and other necessities of battle. And behind the last supporc zone, in case of America, lies the home- land with its gigantic warehouses Thus, after an operation begins, if original esti- mates of the rate of use were too low, the first! support zone is called upon to fill the breach. Im- | mediately theré is movement from each of the support | zones to take up the slack—to fill the vacant spots— | in the zone immediately forward. If, as is apparently restored. y planners do not feel that the | “margin” is really “safe” unless it is great enough to | support military operations for many months on a | full scale, even if every production center in the United ; States were forced to close. | There is no reason for us to suspect that, because General Eisenhower calls for doubled production in certain lines, there is a pressing lack of those items in the field of battle. If that was the sort of mili- tary leaders we had, we would have been defeated monthe ago. We will, as the General asks, speed the manufacture of the materials needed. We will fill the gaps at once, never allowing the present “short- ages” to be reflected in campaign operations along the | European front.

Employers will be generous under this configuration HEART AND HOME: Officers in the .armed forces will commend the heroes on the battlefronts, bringing much pride to American home circles. The stars seem to promise rewards for women who have worked and sacrificed during the war period. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: American merchants and manufacturers will reflect tremendous achievements in production and distribution. Scientists and invent- ors will continue under stimulating aspects that promise continuance of magic powers. NATIONAL ISSUES: taxes will not decrease in 1945, they will have attained a ures that bilities which include wholesale re- lief for war victims in many coun- tries. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Bad weadher will retard progress | the | on various battlefronts but United Nations will keep well with- in schedules of procedures. Again ! there is warning that patience must be exercised by workers in war in- dustries and civilians anxious for speedy ending of the conflict.
