D Lorenso United Press Conference Detroit 0J.PJ Americans who expect the automotive Industry to suddW them with ultra- streamlined passenger cart Im mediately after the war Is over are in for a surprise. The industry, bending its back to help win the war as quickly at possible, believes, the lirsi nost-war car will be virtually the same as the 1942 model with oocsiblv a few minor changes. The motoring public probably will have to wait a year or more after the war it over for the so called "car of the future", be cause the industry's designers and engineers are knee-deep In "model changes" lor war proa ucts. c. E. Wilson, president of General Motors Corp., in peace time the industry's largest pro ducer of passenger cars, de clared recently that if any com pany turns out a "radically-different car immediately after the war Is over "then it hat been cheating a little on Its war pro- cram. Better Cars Later "The post-war car," Wilson said, "will be substantially the same as the one bought prior to Pearl Harbor, with perhaps a different color scheme or some minor change." George T. Christopher, presi dent of the Packard Motor Car Co. long a supplier of automo biles for the "carriage trade" agrees with Wilson that the Im mediate post-war car will be vir tually unchanged from present new models. However, he explained the ln dustrv's experience with new materials and technique on the war program would contribute CONTINUOUS Today & S. (til S) 22c-lle Inc. Tax (after 8) 25c lie Inc.

Cost of an aircraft engine. Christopher said. Is "about 10 a pound" while the cost of the average car it only 32 cent a pound. How many oi in elements that make up the $10 pound aircraft engine, Incorporated in the car of the future will the public buy?" he asked. The motor buying public can only answer that one. Here again we run into post-war economy, income, taxes, living cost and general economic conditions that will follow the war are still unknown factors." Silver Improves Engines Availability of materials and fuel. Christopher added, also will have "a marked bearing on the car of the future. Materials have been brought into new practices in war work and their adoption to the auto mobile may bring about interest ing results, he said, -silver, tor example, never used before in automobiles, is contriDuung w major engine lmporvements." The silver connecting rod In the Packard-built Rolls-Royce aircraft engine, Christopher ex plained, "takes more stress than all corresponding bearings In an 8-cyllnder car engine" In the post-war automobile. Although the first cars after the war may be unchanged, de signers long have toyed with super-streamlined models hav ing aero-dynamic properties. In many of these "dream" cars the engine and the luggage com partment have exchanged places with the former behind the rear teat. WELCOMES FLIERS Artesia, N. M.

(U.R) A higher civilization than most persons ever imagined tt possible lor Americans after the present war because of Industrial ad vancement. Dr. Clarence A. Ayres, professor of economics at the University of Texas, be lieves. Dr. Ayres opposes the opinion of those who think the United States has reached an industrial peak. And those who predict that future generations will be poor because of the heavy debts Incurred during the war. "We have been successful In building industrial sinews, but not so successful in using them," Dr. Ayres said. "I do not be lieve we will emerge from this crisis until a better distribution of wealth is brought about. We are going to have to live much better than before if we are to absorb the products of this new industral equipment. The professor predicted that the post-war world will find the airplane used as much as the automobile for trips away from home, and that plastics, tech nology and new method of food preparation will change radical ly the average citizen's way of living. "It will seem utterly old fashioned to drive from Austin to Dallas (200) miles, when an airplane will take you there In 50 minutes," Dr. Ayres said.
