They are basing their production

Thanks largely to the efforts of
General Motors’ various car and
truck divisions, the industry built,
approximately three million vehicles
in the first half of 1949. It will be at
least another month before the final
official figures will become avail-
Jole. •
Of the first six month's total GM
factories turned out more than 1,350,-1
000 units.
No industry authority expects the
second half of 1949 to equal the first
half in production But there are tew
I among the industry chronicles now
who do not expect 1949 to top all
previous output marks. They are re
instating 5,700,000 units as the prot>-|
able total for the year. The record |
is 5,358,420 vehicles, built in 1929. j
What has been achieved thus far
! in 1949 illustrates how far the in
dustry has progressed in production
technique during the last 20 years.
The 1929 record was made by fac
tories working six and seven days a
,,week on a three-shift basis for final
’ assembly lines. The present six mil
lion units-a-year rate has been ac-
j hieved despite numerous shutdowns
and comparatively little overtime.

Bloody 4th Death
Toll Reaches 818
Chicago, July 5—A final death toll
of 818, by far the highest for any
holiday period in history, brought
the nation’s three day observance of
July 4 to a grim end.
The National Safety Council called
the appalling holiday carnage “a
disgrace to a civilized nation.”
From 6 p. m. Friday to midnight
Monday, a United Press tabulation
showed that:
321 persons were killed in traffic.
278 drowned.
70 died of heat prostration.
18 were killed in plane accidents. |
131 died in iriiscellaneous acci
dents.
The sweltering heat wave which
has gripped inost of the nation was $
believed a major factor in the tragic w
death toll, especially in the unprece- #
dented number of drownings.
But Ned H. Dearborn, president £
ot the National Safety Council, said
that most of the traffic deaths were
due directly or indirectly to cheat-!
ing on traffic rules and to poor sport
smanship that the nation would not
tolerate for a moment in a ball
game or other athletic events where'
life and death are not involved.”
