MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or. B Thursday, Feb. 18, 1960 Auto Industry Prepares To Cut Back Production Detroit - (UPD - The auto in dustry i preparing to cut back its production because of slipping sales, according to in dustry sources. Both Imperial Division of Chrysler Corp. and Buick Di vision of General Motors Corp. revealed Tuesday that they planned to lower produc tion within a month. , Ward's Automotive Reports, statistical agency for the in dustry, said today sales were progressing at a rate which would result in the sale of 5,743,000 units in a year. Im mediately after the steel strike, officials of all the major companies predicted sales this year would total about 6,500,000 or about 750,- 000 more than is now indi cated. To Close For Week A spokesman for Imperial said that division planned to close for a week beginning next Monday and then would resume production with a re duced work force. The spokes man said 400 employes would be laid off when work re sumed with production rates "adjusted to balance field stocks." The spokesman said the ad justments were necessary be cause production schedules have been "above normal" since the end of the steel strike late in January. A spokesman for Buick said the division planned "some short work weeks next month but no layoffs were planned at this time; Glaciers Said To Be Declining Washington - (Science Serv ice) - Glaciers, which cover about ten per cent of the world's land area, are def inite 'ly declining, a Russian scien tific report contends. In an article originally pub lished in Russia and trans lated and distributed here by the U.S. Department of Com merce, Prof. G. Avsyuk, chair man of the working group on glaciology of the Internation al Geophysical Year, said it can be statea "coniiaenuy that glaciation is diminishing. Up to the time of the IGY, he said, glacier data were oniy approximate and inaccurate. It was thought, for example, that the thickness of Antarc tica's ice cover was about 2,000 to 2,600 feet. However, glaciological investigat ions during the IGY, most of which were carried out by the Uni ted States and Russia, indi cated that the average thick ness of the ice was close to 6,500 feet and sometimes reached 13.00Q feet, Glaciation, which constant ly increases and decreases, ex erts a considerable influence on the earth's climate. Prof. Avsyuk reported. Glaciers cover almost 6,000,000 square miles of the earth and contain 11 times as much water as all the land's surface waters. Traveler Likes Better Highways Temple, Tex. -flJPB- Edward Lee, 63, breezed into Temple recently for the first time in three years and observed that he found "much better high ways on this trip. Lee is something of a high way expert although his busi ness is sharpening knives and eissors. He does all of his traveling on a bicycle and av- raffes about 10.000 miles a year. The wiry, eray-haired na tive of Hot Springs, Ark., said he started cycling around tne U.S. many years ago. "I like to see the country," he said. "I just stay around long enoueh to get a couple of dol lars for food and then move on," he added as he pedaled away. Title Attracts Reader Interest Fort Madison, Iowa - (UPD An article in the prisoners' magazine at the Iowa State Penitentiary here carried the provocative title: "Sex ' and the Prisoner." However, writer Harold Lee Warren didn't Hve up to this promise. He pointed out in the first paragraph that the title was merely used to get the prisoners to start reading the article. - ' It actually was about the importance . of a good title when writing a book, develop ing a movie script or pre paring a play. .
