(UPI) development Americans Drive, Don't Walk, For Short Distances By COLIN BARRETT United Press International Washington -HPli- If you're an average American driver, chances are you drove your car almost 9,000 miles last year. You also spent some 210 hours, the equivalent of more than 26 working days, behind the wheel. This figure is part of a statistical report issued by the Automobile Manufacturers as sociation (AMA), which re ported that the nation's 87 million drivers logged a phe nomenal 733 billion that's right, billion miles in 1961. Commenting on the reluc tance of Americans to walk whenever they can ride, the AMA also noted that three out of every five times the aver age driver got behind the wheel, he headed for a desti nation less than five miles away. Other AMA statistics show-1 ed that: -Auto salesmen in 1961 hit their lowest point since the 1958 recession, chalking up only 5.5 million sales. This was more than a million short of 1960 sales and a whopping 2.5 million below the 1955 peak of almost eight million new cars sold. -General Motors' Chevrolet was the nation's biggest-selling car in 1961, with the Ford Galaxie and Ford Falcon run ning second and third respect ively. Between them, Gener al Motors and Ford grabbed off almost 80 per cent of last year's new car market. -Despite the drop-off in new car sales, the United States still produced 52 per cent of the world's cars last year, 45 times as many as the Soviet Union. -Paradoxically, car regis- -fl.ro- Sheriff . rived at the S.

Became Argumentative The deputy said the men be c a m e argumentative and asked, "what authority do you have to tell us to move off?" Wantland said he pointed to his badge and again asked them to leave. He said the elder Sackett then moved around in back of him and pressed his shotgun into the deputy's back. The younger man pointed his shot gun at him from the front. Wantland said the men then shouted, "get him." The deputy said he Dushcd the younger's man's gun bar rel aside and whirled on the elder Sackett, drawing his gun and fi'ing. As the older man dropped he turned and opened fire on the son. Both men were killed. A coroner's jury assembled later at the scene of the kill ing ruled Wantland had fired in self defense.

Over half of these registrations were for cars five years old and older, including a surprising 690,000 real antiques cars produced before World War II. Car Owners -Three out of every four U. S. families own at least one automobile. Almost a fifth of these families own two or more cars.
