Motor Plants Expected to Provide Work for 350,000 Workers During Year, Figures Show

Used Car Market Is| Beginning to Be Active.

By WILLIS THORNTON DETROIT, Jan. 28 (NEA).—The motor industry, recevery bell-wether, is down, but not out. The recession which put 250,000 motor workers on the street is less fearful than it looks, coming at a time when there always is a midyear slackening. Consider the recently announced

addition of 100,000 workers to the.

General Motors’ payroll and 6000 to Hudson. Ford added 40,000 in conjunction with his $50,000,000 expansion program.

5 Million Units Made

The industry made 5,000,000 cars last year, compared with a recent average of 4,000,000. The Auto Workers’ Union guesses 3,500,000 will be made this year and the Board of Commerce says 3,750,000. If these guesses are valid, it means employment would run 350,000 to 375,000 compared to the high of 517.000 last year. If the “share-the-week” policy is invoked there might be ®ork for 400,000. Both union and management are holding to prevailing wage scales. The union is concentrating on relief for members, aid to the industry and legislation like the housing program. Good news for the industry is that the second-hand car market is beginning to move. William Munger, U. A. W. statistician, believes the new auto financing plan, started last year, allowing 24 months, instead of 12 or 18 on extended credit for buying cars, helped load up the usedcar lots.

Buick Workers Set New Safety Record

Times Special DETROIT, Jan. 28.—General Motors Corp. today reported that 1937 was the best in history for the safety of its plant employees. The severity of accidents was reduced to .652 days lost for every 1000 hours worked. Eighty-one plants in the United States and Canada were represented in the figures.

Many Americans Tour Europe in Own Cars

Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—More Americans shipped their cars abroad for vacationing on fecreign highways in 1937 than ever before, the American Automobile Association foreign travel bureau reported. Figures were not announced, but the report said the increase was 34 per cent over 1936. The gain in overseas motor travel was attributed to a number of factors, one being the realization that the automobile provides an inex-

Zephyr Averages 23 Miles to Gallon

Times Special DETROIT, Jan. 28—A LincolnZephyr stock sedan, competing in the recent Gilmore-Yosemite economy run, covered the 314.5 miles

with a gasoline economy record of 23.47 miles a gallon. This record, company officials said, was exceptionally good for a 12-cylinder car and was made more remarkable by the Tact that the run was largely over winding roads through mountainous country. Company officials said an owner recently wrote that while driving his Lincoln-Zephyr in Europe he averaged 18.3 miles a U. S. gallon of gasoline.

$53 PER CAPITA TAX COLLECTION NOTED

County Property Income Up $3 Since 1920.

The per capita property and replacement tax collection in Marion County was approximately $3 higher last year than in 1930, William H. Book, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, announced today. Prepared by the Chamber's re-

search bureau, the survey showed the per capita 1930 collection was $50.47. New replacement taxes designed to lift some of the burden from property went into effect in 1933, but these new levies and the old property collections averaged only $43.28 per person. The 1937 per capita figure was $53.41. On the same basis of calculation, per capita figures for other years were $49.48 in 1931, $47.07 in 1932, $49.48 in 1934, $45.38 in 1935 and $50.87 in 1936.

Included in list of replacement taxes are those on gross income and intangibles, and bank, building and loan levies. A higher property levy this year is expected to increase the 1938 per capita cost, Mr. Book said. In 1930 the survey showed property taxes collected in the county totaled $21,333.039. Property tax collections by 1933 had dropped to $16,069,276, to which were added collections of $2,224,755 in new replacement taxes.
