Auto Industry Expects to Build More

Cars Next

Year, Help Rearmament, Too

By ROGER BUDROW THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY expects to turn out

more cars next year than it

did this year and still do its

part in the rearmament program, according to Alvan Macauley, president of the Automobile Manufacturers Association. Mr. Macauley points out several exceptions to this prediction—namely scout cars and military trucks which may lift the output as a whole but at the expense of producing similar trucks for civilian use.

-Some items being made for the Government are brand new to the automobile industry. These include tanks, machine guns, airplane engines and parts. These, in the main, mean new plants, new types of * machinery, readaptation to new products. of the mags production technique which make rapid output possible. According to i Mr. Macauley, Roger Budrow the year 1940 saw production

of 4,476,000 motor vehicles—3,705,000

passenger cars.and 771,000 trucks.

These cover output only in the U. S. They were valued at $2,414,000,000 for the motor cars and $594,000,000 for the trucks or a total wholesale value of more than three billion dollars. The autoinobile industry now employs 443,000 persons and has a weekly payroll of $15,500,000. There are now 31,950,000 automobiles registered in this country—a record

EGG PRICES an more at different seasons of the year than any other staple year-round commodity from the farm, Indiana University’s Business Research Bureau finds, Forty years or more ago the peak price was usually in January. Later it came in December. For the last several years eggs have been highest in November and I. U. thinks that in the next few years the peak egg price will come as early as October. Prices are lowest from March through June. = 2 2 3 ODDS AND ENDS: A New York Stock Exchange seat sold for $32,000 yesterday, lowest since 1899 . , .

CUBA SUPPLYING U.S. MANGANESE

Nation No Longer Dependent Upon Foreign Sources For Vital Ore.

Times Special

NEW YORE, Dec. 27.—Improvement of America’s manganese procurement position was cited today as a dramatic example of how industry worked on national defense problems years before actual outbreak of the war in Europe. Behind the recent -declaration of a 50-cent initial common dividend of the Cuban-American Manganese

530 Corp., a 90 per cent owned sub-

sidiary of Freeport Sulphur Co. is a story of a 10-year struggle in nearby Cuba by American business men to develop a process for concentrating ores found there to the grade required by the steel industry. Unexpected difficulties encountered included three floods, an earthquake and & revolution. The United States faced the threat of a serious manganese shortage in the 1917-18 war period. Until recently nearly all of the metal has had to be imported from more distant sources, such as Russia, India, the African Gold Coast and Brazil. The importance of manganese in defense arises from its service as a deoxidizing and purifying agent, | A about 14 pounds of it to a ton of steel being used to give durability to guns, tanks and armor plate. Annual capacity of the CubanAmerican plant has now reached 130,000 tons of ferrograde ore, ahout 17 per cent of normal United States consumption. Strategic importance of the néw source of supply arises from Cuba’s being only 90 miles off the United States mainland, so that the Cuban deposits in effect are domestic supplies. Freeport invested more than $3,000,000 in the development, beginning in 1930, but until 1937, when economically successful, the manganese: company operated at a loss. Langbourne M. Williams ar. president of both companies, expressed the opinion that the pioneering they have done in flotation of oxidized manganenese ore and adoption and use of a modulized kiln, has made available to Amer-

ating data. The flotation process, he pointed out, has enabled the company, in

Corn was up *% to %c; oats unchanged to up %c¢; rye up %c and soy beans unchanged to up ec. Scanty offerings and moderate buying by houses with Southwest-

tract offered at 53% cent discount |! under the May delivery.

Imports Mount Steadily, Increasing Adverse Trade Balance.

LONDON, Dec. 27 (U. P.) —Great Britain had an adverse trade balance of more than £637,000,000 for the first 11 months of 1940, reflecting dwindling export trade in the fact of steadily mounting imports, according to official figures issued by the Board of Trade today. (The “free” pound sterling is Sudied in ‘world markets at about Total imports for the 11 month period were reported at £1,025,676,184 contrasted with £800,936,801 in the same period of 1939 and with £846,982,024 in 1938. Export volume, meanwhile, dropped .to £388,631,794 from £398,686,810 a year ago and £432,000,578 12 Jue January-November period of 1938. Re-exports of foreign - products were valued at £25,536,250 for the latest period against £43,429,266 a year ago and £56,808,378 two years ago. The Board of Trade data revealed a marked drop in British imports for November in comparison with both the preceding month and the 1939 month, but also showed further decreases in export sales, resulting in a continued high adverse balance. While November imports declined to £72,930,436 from £85,095,565. in October and £84,042,757 in November, 1939, exports were down to £21,666,181 from £23,390,911 a month ago and £37,360,327 a year earlier. The November adverse balance of £51,264,2556 compared with trade “deficits” of £61,704,654 in October and £46,682,430 in the 1939- month. Re-exports for the latest month were placed at £723,241 against £966,746 in October and £2,745,077 a year ago.

NEW POWER UNIT IN AKRON IS PLANNED

CLEVELAND, Dec. 27 (U. P).— The Ohio Edison Co. will start con struction on a new $3,600,000 power unit for the Akron area in ths spring of 1941, A. C. Blinn, presi-

dent, announced today. The new unit, wiich is expected to be completed in the fall of 194%, will include a steam turbine and generator, and will add 35,000 kilowatts to the present 67,000 kilowat! capacity of the gorge plant. It also will provide for increasing demands for power in the company’s Akron area, it was said. | “The need for the additional power facilities is not due primarily

|| to increased electric consumption:

by industries as a result of the nae tional defense program but results basically from normal expansion of industrial, commercial and domestic demands,” Mr. Blinn stated.

BELL ELECTS YOUNG : _ NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (U. P).— The election of Howard L. Young, ' president of the American Zine, Lead & Smelting Co., to the board of directors of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. was announced today.
