{ Gasoline prices
| continue falling
| PORTLAND
Gasoline prices are falling
| steadily in Oregon with one
| Union Oil station in north Port
| land offering gas for 99 cents
| per gallon
It is the first time the price per
| gallon has dropped below $1 in
| many months Gas prices in
I other parts of the Portland area
| ranged from $1 07 to about
| S1.33 per gallon
In the Salem area, prices
| Wednesday ranged from just
| under $1 08 to $1 33 per gallon
S for regular-grade gas
£ "The whole market place is in
an upheaval," said Union Oil
spokesman Paul Dennis in
Seattle, who announced that his
firm's wholesale prices were
being cut by 2 5 cents per gallon
in Oregon and Washington
Wayne Bowlby. executive dir
ector of the Oregon Gasoline
Dealers Association, said some
dealers won't pass the recent
price cuts on to consumers
"Some dealers have been
operating below their costs,”
Bowlby said "They have to get
back to where they can make a
profit "
Other stations, he said, are in
a better position to drop prices
Israeli soldiers
evict squatters
YAMIT, Israeli-Occupied Sinai
Government troops axed
down doors of shacks before
dawn Wednesday and dragged
off about 60 squatters resisting
Israel's withdrawal from the
Sinai.
The soldiers went in unarmed
and carried away people from
the "Stop the Withdrawal"
movement Women soldiers led
women — some with infants in
their arms — from Hatsar Adar,
an illegal squatters' village in
the Vamit bloc of settlements on
the Mediterranean coast
Although only one minor in
jury was reported, Hatsar Adar
looked like a scarred battlefield
Smoke from burning tires drift
ed over a desolate scene of
shacks used as makeshift for
tifications Soldiers had hacked
down doors of the huts with

in a moat-like ditch between the
settlement and the road
The army stopped its evic
tions after the early-morning
assault on Hatsar Adar, some 12
miles south of Yamit, and
movement activists waited ap

High court okays
‘head shop’ laws
WASHINGTON
Communities trying to curb
illegal drug use won Supreme
Court permission Wednesday to
regulate the sale of drug para
phernalia at so-called "head
shops "
But the unanimous decision
appeared to leave unresolved
whether the courts will allow an
outright ban of such busin
esses
The justices resurrected a
Hoffman Estates III , ordinance
that requires such shops to ob
tain licenses for selling items
designed or marketed for use
with" illegal drugs such as
marijuana or cocaine
A federal appeals court had
ruled that the ordinance was
unconstitutionally vague The
Supreme Court disagreed
U.S. car sales
hit 20-year low
DETROIT
U S car sales plummeted
27 7 percent In late February,
making the month s sales the
worst in 20 years, automakers
reported Wednesday
The five major U S au
tomakers delivered 456.942
cars in February for a daily
selling rate of 19.039 That was
down 15 9 percent from Fe
bruary 1981 s 543.593 autos
and marked the lowest daily
sales rate since February 1962
when the daily sales rate was
19,035
Imports also were down for
the month, 18 2 percent, from
212,042 last year to 173.393
But imports still grabbed 27 5
percent of the domestic market
They accounted for 28 9 per
cent of the U S market in Fe
bruary 1981 and took an aver
age 27 1 percent last year
Analysts blamed a lack of
consumer confidence for the
poor late February sales show
ing They also said the February
1981 period was particularly
strong — spurred by rebate pro
grams more widespread than
those in the 1982 period
