KNOWS CRYPTO OPERATION
In May of last year he was sent
to New York City for specialized
trailing in the intricate Crypto

dent of close study, he became
thoroughly familiar with the op
eration of this machine.
Upon the completion of his course
he was transferred to the Arctic.

Many Problems
Looming For
Auto Industry
By NORMAN NICHOLSON
United Press Staff Corresponde:
DETROIT IW—The auto indus
try, struggling to keep clvlliarg pro
duction at reasonable levels while
preparing for its big defense role,
is certain that 1952 will be one
of the most difficult years in its
history.
With Washington mobilization
planners—rather than Detroit ex
ecutives making the decisions,
car and truck makers are hopeful
that they will be allowed to make
4,000.000 in the next 12
moqths.
After winding up the second best
production year in. its.history, the
industry faces pew problems after
January which are expected to in
clude:
1. Still deeper cuts in allotment
of steel, copper and aluminum for
civilian usage.
2. Buyer resistance to high price
tags which may be forced even
higher steadily increasing pro
duction costs.
3. Limited stocks of cars in the
hands of the nation's 35,000 auto
mobile dealers. \
4. A sharp rise in unemployment
and the possibility of labor unrest
because of it.
< 5. Tool and die bottlenecks pre
senting a quicker switch to manu
facture of the billions of dollars
worth of orders for tanks, guns,
planes and component parts auto
motive companies have on their
rigs.
Most motor company leaders
agree that not until the last quar
ter of 1952 will the industry be de
livering war weapons to the armed
forces in any appreciable volume.
And once new plants are built,
and old ones redesigned for war
work, it is uncertain how much
the government will want them to
produce.
Tile order halting big tooling
programs after February 1 will out
law some major styling and engi
neering changes many companies
planned for 1953 models.
But it will not affect introduc
tion of 1952 models. Few of these,
with some notable exceptions like
Ford Motor Company’s new prod
ucts, will have 'extensive changes.
The problems of a “guns and but
ter” economy, never before tried
full-scale in this country, will be
reflected in the auto industry vtery
sharply.

seph Stalin, knows exactly how
the next year will turn out for the
men who make and sell autos.

success are too exalted for our
abilities, we block our way to self
esteem.”
7. Avoid the conscience bogey.
. “Conscience can bedevil the best
of us out of self-respect if we per
mit it to become a bogey. Condem
ning ourselves for past mistakes
won’t rectify them.”
