Dec. ST ( Passenger automobiles will roll off assembly lincs a little faster next' year but 1 not fast enough to balance output ! and demand by the year's end. That's the conviction of most of the Industry's chroniclers and top 1 level executives In the low and me dium price fields. Generally they see a moderate leveling off in the demand for higher-priced cars and j for the heavyweight commercial ! vehicles. But against Urn they explain tint Increasing demand for vehicles in the other groupings will more than balance whatever tapering off may l develop In the upper levels. Not Worried The car manufacturers are not ' worried about their market nor their ' ability to produce automobiles in , large volume. They are concerned. : however, over the prospects for ade- Chiang Orders Security Clamp NANKING. Dec. 37 i General issimo Chiang Kai-shek issued a personal order today banning dis closure of military news by govern ment officials as reports from the nnrth InHlcutMl th national ivkL lion In Manchuria was steadily worsening. Chiangs order, informants said. forbade the disclosure of any m.li- tary Information to the press or , public. It was reported that high authorities several times had dis- closed highly secret military per- j sonnel transfers and other war i secrets. Chiang ordered severe punish- ment for violators. Even pro-government sources ; acknowledged that the communists : were gaining ground in the West Liaoning area where fighting has been the heaviest. The official Central News agency - said the government had regained i control of key points within a 35 i mile arc around Mukden, but from I other sources the Associated Press learned that red demolition squads operating within the defense area had blown up a railroad bridge only seven miles north of the city and had tossed grenades into govern ment installations Just outside the city limits.

Alaska Governor Protests CAB Rule JUNEAU, Alaska, Dec. 27 tPl Territorial Atty. Gen. Ralph Rivers said today he had filed a protest with the civil aeronautics board in Washington, D. C. against a pro posed amendment to aviation regu lations seeking to place charter air cargo planes between the United States and Alaska on regular sched ules. Rivers said he favors allowing cargo planes to carry passengers, thus increasing the territory's pas senger service which now ls limited to regularly established lines.

They already have been advised that demands for Increased wages will be presented on behtlf of the approximately 750.000 pro duction workers ri their plants. Whether wage agreements can be reached without prolonged work stoppages is something none of the company heads wilt attempt to fore cast. All the planning for high volume output, the new model in traductions In mid-year, could be upset by work Interruptions in the early months of 1948. Increase Story A task ahead of the Industry tor the coming year Is to better con vince Its public that while retail prices have advanced steadily since the war the increases have not been out of line with the upward move ment In other commodities. For whatever It may be worth In this connection the Automobile Manufacturers' association In Its current Issue of "Automobile Facts'' notes that In the United Stales the average car costs 47 cents a pound. England, it adds, "has traded 600 tons of automobiles and 7300 tons of Argentine beef indicating that British cars cost more than meat." This week's operations in the in dustry were largely restricted to a three-day schedule and brought a turnout of 56.656 passenger cars and 18.333 commercial units, according ' ?. lh' tn6e PaPr Automotive News. j V j" "ff5. P!u"ln the ,,,, ,,, productlon t0 dale ls tlmated bv Automotive News at 3.514.449 passenger cars and 1.222.115 trucks, while Ward's placed jt at 3.517.438 passenger units and 1.218.226 commercial vehicles. Next week's operations will add ! only slightly to the year's totals as several companies keep their fac- tories closed. j Waterfront ! Strike Looms SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27 i.-P Refusal of CIO longshoremen to handle cargo bound for countries where workers are struggling against 'reactionary employers, landlords and governments" was declared quite likely today by Harry Bridges, head of the Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's union. He said his union expected de mands from overseas workers that they refuse to load arms and other materials for nations such as France. Italy and Greece. In 1938 and 1939 the longshoremen refused to load scrap Iron for Japan until ordered to do so by Wayne Morse, present republican senator from Oregon, who was waterfront arbitrator for the West Coast. Bridges said four union members were being sent to Europe for "some first hand, real lowdown dope on what's cooking In many foreign countries." It is probable, too, he added in his column In the union's official newspaper, that the longshoremen will have to strike June 15 "to pre serve the hiring hall.'' Minimum Age Up For Labor WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 iA Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach today raised the minimum age limit to 18 years for most Jobs in pulp wood logging. The secretarys order followed a study by the child labor branch of tne wa8e nd hour division. Pre viously some Jobs could be handled oy 16 and 17 year olds. After February 2, the 18-year-old limit will apply to logging of pulp- wooa, cnemical wood, excelsior wood, cordwood. fence dosu and similar woods. Some occupation , wnlcn SOns 16 and 17 may still be em- l0Ved are those remnvH rm ,h. sawmill proper and away from the piace wnere felling, bucking, skid ding, yarding and loading occupa tions are performed. Also exempted from the 18-year rule are Jobs In offices or repair and maintenance shops, In operation of living quarters of logging camps, some road and railroad repairs, for est protection, peeling of pulpwood under certain conditions, straighten ing and tallying lumber on the dry chain, clean-up In the lumberyard, and clerical "work in yards or ship ping sheds.

Snow Hampers Fire Fighters By The Associated Pres Spectacular fires broke out In snow-covered Portland, Me., and in Philadelphia and York, Pa., today as New York city, its street clogged with 25.8 inches of snow, faced what fire officials called the "gravest emergency" In the lire department's history. Portland firemen, hampered by a northeast storm, were fighting a blaze which destroyed the Union wharf coal plant, when a second fire swept through a big empty stockyard building in the freight yard of the Grand Trunk railway. A 400-ton loading tower toppled into fiery pieces upon five fisnlng boats moored near the coal wharf. Damage was estimated at about $225,000. In Philadelphia, a pre-dawn fire destroyed the Interior of a five-story warehouse. At York, the lumber yard of the Home Furniture company was de-' stroyed, causing damage unofficially estimated at 1100,000.
