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.
