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-

ing doves in the trees near
the ranch house.
Wantland politely asked the
hunters. John Elbert Sackett,
49, and his son Bobbi J. Sack-
! ett, 29, to move off the prop
erty because the wife of Ir
vine's foreman had just suf
fered a heart attack recently
and was recuperating in the
ranch house.
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.

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. The west and mid
west figures are highest, with
over 80 per cent of all fam
ilies in these areas owning
cars; the figure falls to 72
per cent in the south, and to
70 per cent in the northeast
and New England.
-Americans spent some
$2.5 billion buying replace
ment parts for their cars last
year, an average of about $40
a car, exclusive of labor costs.
