Six Million
Car Output Level
Seen For 1947
DETROIT The nation's auto
mobile industry should be able to
reaeh a (i.OOl). (ion - vehicle - a - year
product inn level by this time next
ye;ir. or early in 1!M8. provided
another wave ol strikes does not
intervene, according to C. E. Wil
son, president ot General Motors
Corp
"If wo ean'l do that in another
year or so, ' he told a news con
ference, "it's Uumt! to he pretty
touuh."
The creates! threat to increased!
production in the car industry, the
G. M head said, lies in continuing
strikes and in Government con-I
trills. I
Assert iir.; that the national ad-j
ministration had "cliaiwd its wage-1
price polic." three times between i
August. U:, and March. 1940, Mr.
Wilson said: j
"I think the (io eminent should
have a price-wage policy and stick
to it. The onh reason for control
of prices is to avoid inflation. When
either wage or price control goes
out, both should go."
Indicating lie feared another
"wave of strikes." Mr. Wilson said:
"Another wave of price and wage
increases certainly will reduce tbe
potential car market: many people
who otherwise could afford cars
won't runic up with them."
Despite numerous shortages
among which he included as one
of the most critical the scarcity
of lead, copper, sheet steel and
other items. The C M. executive
said that September production of
the em poi atioii s v arious divisions
should mine up 20 per cent over
August, and October output about
the ..line dei'iee above September
assemblies.
After that, he added, production
probably will level oil' for a couple
of months.
He said General Motors in the
first car following the war had
produced onle about 400,000 pas
senger cars when it should have
made 1 .400 1100.
General Motors, he said, still
was Inine to eel governmental per
iiiissiiin to Inn lead in the foreign
market. There is enough copper,
he added, in the (government's re
serve to meet industry's needs if
it is properly distributed.
The corporation. Mr. Wilson de
clared, should have some additional
price relief and was preparing to
request it of the price administra
tion aelii les.
Asked how much would be
soimM he said. 'Ob. roughlv about
$1110 a car."
