ers who require considerable prelim-
inary training.
Copper remains a chief supply
worry. It is needed for electrical
equipment, radiator construction and
other units going into the finished
vehicles. The average car requires
more than 50 pounds of copper,
bronze and brass.
Salvage Crews Used
So tight has been the supply of
bolts and nuts that in some plants
salvage crews have gone through
picking them up wherever they could
be found. In normal times' such an
operation would be too costly to be
practicable.
A few weeks ago the industry's
production heads thought they could
see the end of the shortage of coil
springs used in seat backs and cush-
ions. The shortage still is bothersome,
however. In some instances available
supplies have been used in the seat
backs, the cars being turned into the
manufacturers' lots with cushions to
be installed as they became available.
These are but a few of the prob-
lems that have to be overcome before
the industry can swing into the long-
deferred output level of half a mil-
lion cars and trucks monthly.
Manpower Continuing Problem
As the car makers head toward a
sharp upsurge in production it ap-
pears certain that manpower short-
ages will become as much of a prob-
lem in the body, motor building and
final assembly plants as has been
the materials scarcity of the last
six months.
To meet a mounting demand
among its own employees for 1946
model cars the Hudson Motor Car Co.
has set up an employee purchase plan
under which the prospective buyer's
name is drawn from a box and num-
bered as to priority. Twenty-five cars
a week are made available for em-
ployeekpurchase, limited to workers
with five years or more seniority.

Chinese Government .Accused
Of Withholing.Famine Relief
By The Associated Press
Unpleasant facts about the world's
biggest relief job came to light this
week in China.
These facts boil down to this: Uni-
ted Nations Relief sent to China
isn't reaching many starving Chin-
ese who need it most, while some
of it is sold to wealthy Chinese who
can afford to pay for it.
Besides this, the Communists claim
that the government has been with-
holding relief from Comniunist areas
for political purposes.
All this is very unpleasant, espec-
ially to Chinese, but it is to be hoped
that airing the facts may help in the
long run, as facts often do.
The Central Chinese Government,
through its insistence on setting up
its own relief organization (CNRRA)
to handle UNRRA relief, assumed the
responsibility for doing a job. The
job hasn't been done, partly because
of well nigh insuperable difficulties,
but partly also because of the fami-
lar corruption in high places.
Having all this discussed in public
makes the government lose face, 'es-
pecially outside China. UNRRA cut
off shipments to China this week.
Whether the government loses as
much face in China itself, is some-
thing else again. Corruption-some
corruption-is regarded as a neces-
sary. evil there, for long-standing
reasons.
If the government can clean up
the relief situation, it might thereby
do much to reassure the Commun-
ists--not only about relief, but about
the whole possibility of peaceful uni-
ty. The alternative as both sides
know, is civil war.
