A
on General Afotors' jfyoduction, Employment, Economies and Profits
TODAY TKE COUNTtrS UICEJT PtODUOX Of WAS MATERIALS
During 1942 wor production General AAotors increased rapidly.
Deliveries In the fourth quarter were mora than four times those in
the fourth quarter of 1941 and were ot an annual rato of more than
three billion dollars. In reoDty, war production increased far morn
rapidly than dollar value indicates thanks to decreases in cost of
manufacture. General AAotors' interests and energies are concerv-
tra ted on speeding wa r production. F
EN6IKXTUN6 AN3 W0DUCT10N KN0WIE8GI PI0DUOS KESUin
The experience gained by General AAotors over the years has
proved of immense- value in war work. This "Know-How" In the
fields of engineering and manufacture has made possible quick
conversion to war production, and resulted in simplification of
design, improvement of quality and reduction in cost. This not only
speeded up the work and got the job done, but saved manpower
ond millions of dollars of the taxpayers' money.
WAGES KEACH A NEW PEAK AS RATES AND HOUtt INOEASE
Along with increased employment and working hours, wages have
risen substantially. Hourly -workers, who averaged $43.41 weekly
in 1941, averaged $54.91 in 1942 an increase of 26. The pay
roll for both salaried arid hourly rate employes in 1942 was
$859,314,062. G.M. paid $259,331 to employes for suggestions
furthering the war effort. More than $7,000,000 was paid to
employes through group insurance.

He further 1 explained that a
breakdown in this all important
system depends altogether on the
human eye," the human ear and
the alertness, of the observer. He
cited an instance of a few weeks
ago of the' loss of a pilot and
plane. The post which should have
sent in a report was deserted be
cause, the relief was a half hour
late. The pilot had become 'con
fused because his instruments had
failed. He crashed andwas lost.

"It was a fallacy in Japan's

US to successfully . carry out
bombing , raid on F Japan and
through a surprise attack capture
Guadalcanal," Hymer continued.
The use of the army field tele
phone which is being installed in

plained: and demonstrations made
on correct reporting as well as
use of the new phone. Identifica

employment in the U. S. ond Canada rose to 370,000 in 1942 an
oil-time high. This increase involved great problems in training per
