DEMAND FOR AUTOS WILL RULE OUTPUT Manufacturers Adopt New Policies to Stabilize Condi- tions in Industry. BY DAVID J. WILKIE, Associated Press Stafft Writer. DETROIT, December 12.—Stabiliza- tion s to be the main objective of the automobile industry in 1931. A num- ber of factors new to the industry— new at least in recent years—are ex- pected to contribute to this desired condition. Probably the most important of these factors will be rigid adherence and many of them beyond it—in trying to keep up with a production program unparalleled in the history of the au- tomobile industry. Many of them had to give up and quit buying long before the crash came. Thus it was the in- dustry piled up a surplus that required many months of curtailed production to dispose of. Old Cars Being Scrapped. Just what form the newest effort to- ward solving the used car problem will take is a_matter of considerable specu- lation. A certain number of old cars are being scrapped every day, but aside from the vehicles that have reached a ripe old age and come under the clas- sification of “decrepit” there are the hundreds of thousands of year-old ve- hicles that are potential trade-in fac- tors and a source of more Worry to the dealer than the cars he knows he may | reject without fear of what his com- | petitor may do. In some sources it has been sug- gested that one of the steps to be taken in dealing with the used car will be a marked scaling down of the trade-in value. A huge inventory of used cars was piled up during 1929 by extraordi- nary allowances on vehicles traded in on_new_cars. TLHE EVENING contended that & too sharp cutting down of trade-in values will merely re- sult in the discouragement of potential buyers of new automobiles and the con- tinued operation of ysed cars. All thls and the fact that cars accepted as g:yment on new models must in turn sold at a price to cover the allow- bhow involved the actually is.

If .the plan to bring out all new models at the beginning of the year is adopted all these new types would be presented publicly at the automobile shows in_Janua Incidentally, pro- nents of the plan say, business in the Ja%t three months of each year, normally a slack sales period, undoubtedly would benefit. Both buyer and seller, they believe, would profit by the merchandis- ing during that quarter, of the models thatare to be discontinued to make way for tfew lines.
