During Past Year
Detroit (U.B American
auto production nose dived very
sharply in 1956.
The drop was outlined Wed
nesday when final production
figures for 1956 were released
by- General Motors Corp., Ford
Motor Co., Chrysler Corp., Am
erican Motors Corp., and Stude-baker-Packard
Corp.
The drops, compared to 1935
production figures, ranged from
more than 20 per cent for Gen
eral Motors and Ford to about
34 per cent for Chrysler.
20.5 Drop
GM turned out a record 4.649,
276 cars and trucks in 1955 but
only 3,699,144 units in 1956 and
a 20.5 per cent drop.
Hardest hit' were GM's me
dium priced models as Pontiac
production slipped about 45 per
cent and Oldsmobile and Buick
both dropped about 30 per cent.
Chevrolet was down 12 per cent
and Cadillac 8 per cent.
Ford turned out 1,764,524 cars
in 1955 but only 1,373,542 last
year for a drop of about 24 per
cent. In 1956 Ford built 297.308
trucks compared to 373,897 in
1955. Ford showed slight gains
in 1956, however, in its Lincoln
and Continental lines.
Biggest Slip
Chrysler had the biggest slip
among the auto industry's "big
three."
In 1955 Chrysler built 1.457.
452 units but only 961,644 in
1956 with the Plymouth line be
ing hardest hit.
Production also slipped among
the auto industry's smaller buil
ders. Studebaker - Packard turned
out 109,453 units in 1956 com
pared to 200.391 in 1955 while
American Motors assembled
103,752 last year as compared to
167,790 in 1955.
A large portion of the S-P drop
was blamed on the suspension
of Packard production from
June through December last
year
The dehydration process will
reduce 80 pounds of peas to only
about 15 pounds during a 10
hour period.
Alaska Delegation Seeks Admittance As Congress Opens
Washington SJ.R) Alaska's
unofficial congressional delega
tion today stood at the doors
of Congress in hopes of present
ing a petition calling for Alas
kan statehood.
The territory's two "sena
tors", Ernest Gruening and Wil
liam A. Egan, hoped to be ad
mitted to the Senate floor after
the 85th Congress convenes at
noon. The territory's one "repre
sentative", Ralph Rivers, indi
cated he may delay seeking ad
mission to the House.
Appropriation Sought
For Timberline Lodge
Portland UU) An appro
priation of SI. 857,000 to finance
new construction and repairs at
Timberline lodge will be sought j
from Congress, the Portland
Chamber of Commerce said to
day. George Henderson, chairman
of the chamber's Mt. Hood com
mittee said that the money, if
appropriated, would be used to
build overnight camp grounds,
provide inexpensive lodging and
restore recreation trails.
Major job the chamber is ask
ing the government to undertake
is construction of a new wing on
the lodge at a cost of Sl.206,000.
The group also seeks to have the
chairlift relocated and other im
provements made.
The three Alaskans did not
plan to seek seats in the Senate
and House, but only to present
the statehood petition.
Legally the Senate and House
could refuse to admit the Alas
kans regardless of their purpose.
Elected on Theory
Alaska elected the three men
on the theory that if it had con
gressmen already selected. Con
gress would act more speedily
to grant it statehood. The plan,
first tried by Tennessee, has
succeeded for several states in
the past.
The two "senators" and one
"representative" spent much of
their time Wednesday visiting
the offices of senators and rep
resentatives. They also met with
Secretary of Interior Fred A.
Seaton. .
Gruening said the Alaskan
delegation strongly protest
ed against proposals that mili
tary defense areas be excluded
from any future state of Alaska.
The "senator" said he had re
ports that the drafters of the
administration's Alaskan state
hood bill planned to exclude the
defense areas from the proposed
new state.
He said the delegation told
Seaton it has no objection to
military reservations within
state boundaries, but sees no
"sound reason for amputation of
part of Alaska."
He said the delegation will
submit a "strong" brief on the
subject to Seaton.
Police Arrest Four
In Portland Campaign
Portland OJ.R) The police
campaign against juvenile vio
lence in Portland resulted in the
arrest of four persons just out
side the city last night where a
small newspaper boy was at
tacked. Police said the boy was as
saulted on SE 92nd ave. on Mt.
Scott and that another youth
was beaten on East Burnside and
148th ave.
Arrested were 21 -year -old
Charles E. Gift and Donald W.
Butcher, 18. Also booked were
a 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old
girl. Gift was booked on a
traffic charge and Butcher was
held for being a minor in posses
sion of tobacco.
Employment Bright
For New Year in State
Portland U.R) Despite lay
offs in the lumber and food
processing industries, Oregon
entered the new year with a
bright outlook in employment.
More than 500.000 persons
were reported employed at the
start of the year. Still there
were some 50,000 workers un
employed, labor statisticians
said.
Labor officials said a large
number of the idle workers were
in the lumber industry which
has been hard hit by the low
number of new housing starts
and tight money policies, in ad
dition to its normal seasonal decline.
