Americans this year will spend in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars for small, light weight cars from Germany. France, England, Italy and Sweden. The sharp increase in foreign car sales from around 30,000 cars in 1954 to around 200.000 this year has caused some raised eyebrows in Detroit. Every American car manu facturer is mapping plans to take advantage of the new market opened up by their foreign counterparts. Foreign Car Sales Up Foreign cars are expected to account for about 3 to 3.5 per cent of the total U.S. car market this year. Foreign manufactur ers report sales are running well anead of 1956 and that they have long waiting lists. The big selling feature of these cars is economy low prices, efficient operation. Germany's little M e s s e r schmitt, which carries two peo ple, one behind the other, is said to run 10C miles on a gallon of gasoline. Imports of foreign cars have increased so rapidly the past few years that some experts are predicting 1957 will be the first year in history that the U.S. Labor Group Urges End To Schrunk 'Persecution' Portland Iff) The Port land Central Labor Council Monday night approved a reso lution calling on Attorney Gen eral Robert Y Thornton to "stop persecuting Terry Schrunk" and to turn the state's police power, instead, on Rack eteer James Elkins.

Argentina "Cold Wave Fatal to Four Persons Buenos Aires (W Four persons were dead today as a result of Argentina's cold wave. The mercury went below freezing in many sections of the country. At the South Orkney Islands it dropped to 16 de grees Monday. Three of the vic tims were suffocated by char coal heater fumes, while the fourth died of exposure. Rockland, Maine 1PI Harold C. Haskell, 72, former general counsel and a director of E. 1. du Pont de Nemours & Co. of Wilmington, Del., died Sunday imported more cars than it ex ported. U.S. firms are taking steps to capture a share of this fast growing and lucrative market. General Motors Corp. an nounced last week that it will begin importing cars made by two of its foreign affiliates Vauxhall in England and Opel in Germany. Ford is pushing imports of two of its affiliates Ford of England and Simca of France. Studebaker - Packard is going to produce an economy car in this country and also has an ar rangement with Daimler -Benz of Germany. American Motors Corp. makes the small Rambler tnd is importing the Britisli made Metropolitan. What's behind the rise in small car sales? "Our big markets are the people who want a second car or those who must drive back and forth to work every day," said Robert Lamaison. vice president and general manager of Renault Inc., major French auto maker. "Our biggest selling feature is economy. Why buy a car that gives only 15 miles to the gallon when you can buy one that will give you 40?" he asked. Lamaison said the move to the suburbs and the rising cost of gasoline have helped to spur the growth of the economy-car market.
