Head of Auto Firm Blames General View
William S. Knudsen of General Motors testified before the Senate unemployment committee that his one hope for immediate stabilization was stronger public confidence in the future. GM laid off 30,000 workers on January 1 due to weak November and December sales, the steepest decline in the company’s history. He blamed the slump on a general belief that work would be slack rather than on car prices. The White House said he would dine with President Roosevelt along with unemployment census director John D. Biggers. Knudsen did not back Roosevelt’s planned industrial production as a remedy and forecast a spring upturn, calling the recession temporary and saying GM would spread work to cope. His 1937 earnings were $4.48 per share, down from $5.35 in 1936. GM’s tax bill rose to $76,140,000, excluding auto excise taxes. (Continued on Page 2)
