WASHINGTON (AP)-A shutdown of the financially
troubled Chrysler Corp. would have an enormous effect
on the U.S. economy and result In long-lasting damage to
several metropolitan areas, says a study by the Depart
, ment of Transportation.
The draft study, released today by Sen. Thomas
Eagleton, D-Mo., also concluded that the demise of
Chrysler wduld deprive the United States of an estimated
800,000 small, fuel-saving cars" by 1981. 'This would
lower the potential for fuel savings derived from new fleet
sales each year,' it said.
The document said a shutdown could result in a severe
depression in the Detorit area, raising unemployment
from today's 8.7-percent rate to as high as 19 percent of
the labor force there.
The study was made by the department's Transporta
tion Systems Center and forwarded to the Treasury
Department in connection with Chrysler's appeal Tor
federal assistance. The Arm lost $207 million in this
year's second quarter alone.
The study concluded that if Chrysler closed operations,
97,000 U.S. production workers would lose their jobs, at
least for the time being, along with 15,000 in Canada and
7,500 in Mexico.
Another 180,000 employees of firms that supply parts
to Chrysler would be thrown out of work, along with
100,000 employees of dealers and 12,000 who work in
freight and related areas.

In the worst case-shutdown with no Immediate take
over of Chrysler facilities or employees by other com-panies-would
require governments to spend another $1.5
billion a year for unemployment assistance, plus
welfare paynjents for as many as one million family
members.
"It is doubtful that local coffers could support this
level of payment," the study said.
Losses of income taxes alone would amount to $500
million, in addition to reductions in sales and property
taxes, it said. For the U.S. eebnomy as a whole, the
shutdown would bring an increase of about $1.5 billion a
year in imported cars, it added.
