Oct. car sales soar
DETROIT (kP) - U. S. auto{
makers kicked off the 1976-
model year with a long-awaited,
upswing as car sales for the'
first 10 days of a month climbed
to their highest levels in nearly
two years.
Domestic deliveries in the
Oct. 1-10 period, the traditional
start of the new model year,
were up 13 per cent from last
year, the four major auto com-
panies reported Tuesday.
THE INDUSTRY sold 243,642
cars in the nine selling days,
compared with 216,110 in the
same number of days last Oct.
1-10. The daily selling rate of
27,071 was the highest for the
first 10 days of a month since
November 1973, when the ener-
gy crisis sent sales reeling.
The early October perform-
ance was only the second time
this year that the selling tempo
in a period topped the same
year-earlier span, providing the
strongest evidence yet that the
industry has shrugged off its
worst slump in four decades.
Auto executives credited the
industry's showing to strong ini-
tial sales of the higher-priced
Court hits challenge
to legislative, group
1976 cars, the first positive con-
sumer response to new models
in three years.
THE DEBUT of the industry's
1974 models was soured in the
fall of 1973 by the Mideast oil
embargo, and early 1975-model
sales fell flat due to both the
recession and record price in-
creases averaging $450 a car.
"We have turned the sales
corner with the introduction of
the 1976 models," said Benn'ett
Bidwell, a Ford Motor Co. vice
president.. "There has been a
slow improvement in the buying
climate during the past few
months and we expect a livelierI
market now that the new mod-
els are on the road."
GM vice president Mack Wor-
den said the figures were "fur-
ther evidence of a strengthened
market and outstanding custom-
er acceptance of our 1976 mod-
el cars."
GM SAID its sales were up 17
per cent in the period, partly
because of strong initial sales
of the new mini Chevette, the
industry's smallest U.S.-built
car. GM said the Chevette is off
to the fastest start of any new
car ever introduced by Chevro-
let, with sales in the first 10
days of the month hitting 6,100.
Ford sales were up 16 per cent
and AMC's were up 25 per cent.
AMC sales were depressed last
year when its plants were shut
by a nationwide strike by the
United Auto Workers union.
Chryslerewas the only com-
pany to report a decline, with
sales off 14 per cent from last
year. Industry analysts attrib-
uted the drop to Chrysler's late
introduction of 1976 models. As
a result, Chrysler's market
share in the period fell to 9.7
per cent, compared with a tra-
ditional 15 per cent.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Supreme Court today held that
Michigan's reapportionment
commission does not violate the
"one 'man, one vote" principle.
The justices affirmed a three-
judge court decision dismissing
a challenge brought by the Hu-
man Rights and American Inde-
pendent parties.
MICHIGAN'S 1963 constitution
provides that the two major po-
litical parties each designate
four persons to serve on a com-
mission to recommend legisla-
tive reapportionment plans to
the state supreme court. Third
parties can name commission
members only if their guberna-
torial candidate wins at least 25
per cent of the vote in the last
election.
The state constitution divides
Michigan into four parts. Each
major party must appoint a
commissioner from each of
those areas.
The Human Rights and Amer-
ican Independent parties filed
suit contending that the constitu-
tional rights of their members
were violated under the com-
mission system. They said the
interests of third parties should
be represented proportionate to
their voting power, even if it
falls under 25 per cent.
"A MINORITY party which
controls 23 per cent of the votes
cast for governor in every elec-
tion, but which finishes no bet-
ter than third on each occasion,
will never be afforded a voice
in Michigan legislative appor-
tionment," the two parties told
the Supreme Court.
The three-judge court voted 2
to 1 to uphold the law. The ma-
jority noted that reapportion-
Iment proposals could still be
challenged in court if they vio-
lated the one man, one vote!
principles. It said the commis-
sion was essentially an admin-
istrative organization to- draw
up reapportionment proposals
and had no independent author-
ity to put the plans into effect.
The dissenting judge said that
14th Amendment rights were vi-
olated because minority party
members have no voice on the
commission, although the com-
mission can recommend adop-
tion of gerrymandered legisla-
tive districts that could dilute
political power.
DISSENTING JUDGE John
Feikens said, "The reason I
think the procedure is so im-
portant is because the eventual
plan is not an independent prod-
uct, but is the direct result of
the debate and compromise
within the apportionment com-
mission."

336 MAYNARD 1229 S. UNIVERSITY
STOCKHOLM, Sweden WP)-A
Soviet mathematician favoring
less Kremlin control over the
economy and a Dutch-born
American researcher in how
best to use men and machines
were jointly awarded the 1975
Nobel Prize in Economic Sci-
ence yesterday.
The two - Soviet Professor
Leonid Kantorovich, 63, and
Tjalling Koopmans, 65, of Yale
University - were cited by the
Swedish Academy of Sciences
"for their contributions to the
theory of optimum allocation of
resources." Koopmans said he
was "delighted" by the news;
Kantorovich said he was "very
touched."
ON THE practical side theirI
work has been applied by oth-
ers for such purposes as more
efficient transportation, optim-
um ways of assigning men to
machines, and improved ware-
housing and storage.
The prize for Kantorovich was{
the second Nobel award to a
Soviet citizen this year. Last
week dissident physicist Andrei
Sakharov received the Nobel
Peace Prize, a selection criti-
cized by the Soviet press as a
political tactic and an anti-
Soviet gesture.I
So far the Soviet press has
not commented on the econom-
ics award.
KANTOROVICH and Koop-
mans, who have worked inde-
pendently along the same lines
with some personal contacts
over the past 10 years, will
share the $143,000 prize equally.
Kantorovich is the first So-:
viet citizen to receive the econ-
omic prize, set up in 1969 by the
central Bank of Sweden as an
addition to the original Nobel
prizes. Five Americans, two of
them of Russian origin, have re-
ceived the prize in the past, ei-
ther singly or as co-winners.
The pioneering theories of
Kantorovich and Koopmans are
applicable to the Soviet as well
as the U.S. economic system
and on national economies as
well as on branches of the econ-
omy and individual enterprises.

whom I have met on several

The Soviet economist, who re-
ceived a Stalin Prize as mathe-
matician in 1949 and a Lenin
Prize in 1965, works in a Mos-
cow economic institute and is a
full member of the prestigious
Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Some of his proposals for re-
forms in the cumbersome Soviet
economic system have been
adopted 'over the past 10 years.
HE TOLD newsmen who met
him briefly outside a meeting
room at the institute where he
works that he was pleased by
the award and praised Koop-
mans as "an outstanding Amer-
ican scientist."

Mysterious pair take
followers to Illinois
FOX LAKE, Ill. (UPI) - Between 50 and 70 persons believed
to be possible followers of a mysterious couple promising 'a UFO
trip to another planet camped for almost a week in a state park
northwest of Chicago last week, park officials said today.
State Forest Ranger Mick Egan recalled the visitors ap-
peared to have money problems. "But otherwise they were clean
and neat and very well behaved." he said.
"A small problem arose," Egan said. "All of these people
wanted to camp in the cheapest area and we didn't have enough
room there to accommodate them.
EGAN SAID he had no idea
where they' went. The park is
near Fox Lake.

OAKLAND, Calif. (P - "We
left Vietnam dreaming of a new
life, but now we are hungry,"
says one of 90 refugees who
were brought here to train for
jobs but now find themselves
candidates for the welfare rolls.
The refugees are mostly form-
Pr South Vietnamese military of-
ficers who arrived in Oakland on
Sept. 17 after leaving the Camp'
Pendleton, Calif., relocation cen-
ter.
some of the "bachelors" turned
up with families and children,
creating room and board prob-
lems.
The training was to prepare
them for employment as secur-
ity guards under the guidance
of Gordon Jacobson of the Ur-
ban Security Services of San
Francisco.
Jacobson said he was assured
the refugees could handle Eng-
lish, but found that only one in
three spoke theulanguage.
"THERE IS just no way we
can get them jobs without that,"
he said.
Whalen said only $2,000 re
mained of the foundation funds
obtained in three grants in Sep
tember and October. Most of
the money has gone for food
and administration, he said.
