curtailment curtailment ment of ot car production The latest re re- re rei i S port whIch port which may m bo be b an alibi alibi is is that automobile production is being limited I because cars cannot be manufactured without steel and there is no substitute for lor that material This does not Impress tho the United Automobile Workers who Insist that radical curtailment of automobile auto auto- mobile production would bring ghost towns to Michigan An even broader view of ot conditions shows that every state and every community In the na nation na- na nation nation tion contributes its
