U.S. auto business picks up
By EDWARD S. LECHTZIN
DETROIT (UPI) - The mid-
October new car sales were the
highest in 14 months and
dealers report more shoppers
and buyers in their showrooms
now than in the past two years,
according to the trade publica
tion Ward’s Auto Reports.
The publication estimated
Oct. 11-20 sales were up 27 per
cent from last year. The strong
reception given the 1976 models
should push October sales
above the 700,000-mark for the
first time since May of 1974.
The actual figures will be
released Thursday by the four
U.S. auto companies.
“We’re seeing more people in
our showroom now than in the
past two years...” John McAu
liffe, vice president of Art
Moehn Chevrolet in Jackson,
Mich., said. “Right now, we
need cars, particularly the
small ones.” He said there
seemd to be a trend towards
buying cars without the options.
Other dealers said they were

WITH AMERICA’S domestic auto production decreasing,
the United States still holds a commanding lead in real
seeing the same phenomenon —
a break with the traditional
pattern of loading up cars with
options.
The strong sales could be
reflected soon in higher produc

Harvey Oswald, President Ken

agency’s Dallas office was
destroyed two hours after
Oswald’s own assassination on
Nov. 24, 1963 - but the FBI
doesn’t know why.
Although the note had no
apparent relation to the Kenne

official told Congress Tuesday,
its destruction was wrong and
the bureau is considering
disciplinary action against
those involved, despite the
lapse of 12 years.

U.S. auto plants are working
more overtime now than at any
time in two years. But 76,000
workers —about 10 per cent of
the normal labor force — are
still idle.
While October sales are not

involved with the Oswald note.
But Adams said he could
state unequivocally that Os
wald’s assassin, Jack Ruby,
was never a paid informant for
the FBI, as had been charged
in published reports.
He said the FBI contacted
Ruby eight times because he
was a nightclub owner in a
position to collect information
which might be valuable, but
he had never provided any.
Subcommittee chairman Don
Edwards, D-Calif., said he was
not satisfied with Adams’
explanation about Ruby. He
said he still felt Ruby had been
an informer despite his lack of
“informant” title.
The panel has asked for
additional information from the
FBI and suspended its hearings

are a sharp reversal from a

of 1975 models, with price tags

The FBl’s investigation of the
Oswald note showed he deliv
ered it to the Dallas bureau
“about a week or 10 days”
before Kennedy was killed on
Nov. 22,1963. Oswald wanted to
deliver the note to Agent James
P. Hosty Jr., who had been
investigating Oswald for “subv
ersive activities.”
Hosty was out, and a
receptionist received it for him.
She told FBI investigators the
note read: “Let this be a
warning. I will blow up the FBI
and the Dallas Police Depart

my wife.”
Hosty recalls it read: “If you

Hosty told investigators that
two hours after Oswald was

Shanklin denies any knowledge
