| | G.M. Stumps the Senators |
 | | This was once again the GM philosophy during the recent hearings, and while it might be difficult to quarrel with this point of view, the Senators found it not so difficult to quarrel with the end results of GM's practices. |
 | | GM estimates the total cost of producing as many cars as may be made in a 180-day work-year (i.e., 80 percent of what's left of the year after deducting all non-work days), then adds a sum sufficient to bring in a 20 percent profit on GM's net worth, after taxes. |
 | | All this is G.M.'s fault, the report indicated, because this is the trend in automotive engineering at G.M., and what to G.M. is a trend, to Ford and Chrysler is a command. |
