New Car Sales
Ban Draws Rap
Detroit -(UPD- A proposal by
Los Angeles City Councilman
Everett G. Burkhalter to ban
the sale of new cars there un
less the automobile industry
came up with an anti-smog
device provoked some caustic
comment today from authori

Mayor Louis C. Miriani of

Angeles, is going to become a
foreign country all by itself
if it keeps this up."
"How silly can they get?"
he asked. "Banning new car
sales would simply mean that
there would be more old cars
on Los Angeles streets. They
would create more of an ex
haust problem than the new
cars."
