Thomas, international president of the United Automobile Workers C10, said the union learned weeks ago that the ban would be imposed and predicted production halts will throw about 150000 more workers out of work, on top of 150000 already unemployed. The industry has argued it is not producing enough war materials, while cars and trucks now join tanks motors guns shells and other weapons in output. By full shift, heavy bombers will be a major product. In 1939 U S produced 3,732,718 cars and trucks worth 2418030606 versus 1,056,452 vehicles by all other countries. England converted to war production in 1939. Canada plans to sharply curtail car output and virtually end by March 31.
