GENERAL MOTORS, which just announced a $107 million expansion program to double auto production in England and the Benelux nations (TIME, Oct. 4), will spend another $71 million in Germany. The money, said G.M.'s touring President Harlow Curtice, will be used to increase output of the Opel works from 165,000 to 250,000 cars and trucks annually...
...tour of General Motors' European plants, President Harlow H. Curtice last week gave out some cheery news for European motorists. Over the next five years, said Curtice in London, G.M.'s British subsidiary, Vauxhall Motors, will spend $101 million for expansion. The money will go for a new body plant 30 miles outside London, and a nearby component-parts factory. With the new additions, Vauxhall, now Britain's fourth biggest automaker, will double output from 130,000 to 260,000 cars and trucks a year, thus provide more cars for export and the rapidly expanding British market...

...putting an embargo on all news to America's No. 1 business newspaper (TIME, June 28). The W.S.J. stood its ground, insisted it would continue to dig up news about G.M. despite the ban. Last week G.M. and the W.S.J. announced a truce. General Motors, explained G.M. President Harlow H. Curtice, has been interested only in protecting its "property rights," i.e., its ownership of copyrighted blueprints of new models. "It was never our intention," he added, "to interfere in any way with [the W.S.J.'s] publication of news." On his part, W.S.J. President Bernard Kilgore told Curtice that...
