I WPB Shortly To Approve Auto Plant Plans Expect Output Of 6,000,000 Cars Yearly Eventually WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (UP) The war production board short ly will apprdVe plans by the au tomobile industry to construct $150,000,000 in' new plants and additions necessary for maximum production oL civilian cars, it was learned today. . A high WPB official told the United Press notification of .the approval probably will go out to the industry1. 'so me-time next week. He explained the construc tion applications will be okayed on giounds the expansion pro gram will provide for "additional insurance against unemployment next year." s Requests for . construction au thority have flowed in a steady stream to the WPB since it met with the automobile industry last July 11 and asked for prompt no tification of " requirements for eventual full production. It was estimated that the proposed ad ditional facilities might increase the productive capacity of the in dustry up to 6,000,000 cars a year compared with an estimated pre war peak of 4,000,000 cars. In approving the application, the WPB will make it clear it cannot at this time give the au tomobile companies priorities. That means the industry will have to compete for limited quantities of construction materials. Some companies are now rel atively free of war work, but lack of materials and manpower would prevent them from attaining the peak. On the other hand, there are others whose facilities are now tied up almost 100 percent on war work. These firms want to build new plants to make au tomobiles for civilians so that they will not be left behind when all restrictions are lifted.

Geneva Appears Likely Site For United Nations LONDON, Aug. 8 (UP) Well informed observers believe Gen eva will receive highly favorable consideration when tho executive committee of the united nations conference international organi zation meets in London to con sider proposed sites for the new world group. The executive committee was expected to open deliberations tomorrow. Besides nominating prospective sites for UNCIO, it will select a candidate or candi dates for the post of secretary general, arrange for taking over the work and archives of the lea gue of nations, and nominate justices for the new world court. Well qualitied observers be lieved Geneva would be consid ered as the most practical site in view of the fact that the league plant already is established and available there. Two major objections have been raised to Geneva, however. First, is the psychological objec tion due to the failure of the old league, and second is the fact Russia does not have diplomatic relations with Switzerland. Brussels and Copenhagen also have been mentioned as possible sites. HEALTH TO YOU!
