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.

Jim Robbins and Bob Hoot 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."

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.

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." Job situation dim for Viet refugees 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.
