51 Percent Reduction Ordered In Auto Output
Washington October 15 Leon Henderson director of civilian supply at OPM ordered a reduction of at least 51 percent in passenger car production for January 1942 from January 1941 levels. The plan, part of defense material conservation, yields an overall first quarter drop of about 36.3 percent for the model year starting August 1. The January quota allows up to 204 848 cars versus 418 350 in January 1941, and actual output may be lower due to steel shortages, especially strip steel.
