Japan Ponders How to Dispose Of Junk Cars TOKYO - Japan Manufacturers' (ACCN) Automobile The Association is working on plans to solve Japans mounting problem of disposing of discarded cars. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry reportedly will cooperate through the extension of governmental bank loans to small-scal- e automobile dismantling enterprises and other steps. According to the association and other automobile industry circles, the number of old cars abandoned in vacant lots or otherwise discarded in Japan will reach more than two million units this year, compared with about 1.7 million last year. More than 3.7 million cars are expected to be discarded by 1975 when the number of registered automobiles in the country is likely to reach over 30 million. As of the end of last March, 21.22 million cars were registered in Japan. of Some the discarded automobiles have been turned into scrap by minor dismantling shops shredding machines or oxyacetylene torches or by a small number of enterprises affiliated with big trading houses by the modern carbecue method of using burning and conpression. The scrap metal thus obtained is exported to Southeast Asia or sold to domestic steelmakers. But such enterprises generally do not enjoy lively business because of the instability of the domestic scrap metal market, the rising costs of labor, and, above all, the expensiveness of shredding machines and related facilities. The association said it visualizes the creation of large joint stations among dismantling automobile makers.

The case is People v. Raymond Bhrry Tarlow represented Cutler. Deputy District Attorney Michael F. Minchella argued for the prosecution. Cutler was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport and took a lie detector test to prove the evidence was illegally seized. It showed he was truthful and the judge ruled the evidence could not be introduced. Miller conceded that California appellate court decisions in 1955, 1957 and 1968 held that the findings of a polygraph test were not suf- credit inflation almost guarantee price inflation and international financial instability.

BUDGET DEFICITS are fueling inflation. Wage-pric- e controls have worked effectively for the past 15 months, but can they continue to contain inflation without a sane monetary and fiscal policy? Before we lift controls, Congress and the President must work toward aba lanced budget. Unless they do soon after the election, a staggering deficit of $38 billion will refuel the inflationary fires. The President must bring the top heavy budget under control by cuts in spending and tax increases. Unless this happens soon, we are headed for another round of devastating inflation. PRODUCTIVITY or unit labor costs, have improved for the past six months. However, the gains may trail off later in the year as the economy begins to press closer to capacity and draws on more marginal industrial resources and manpower. IN THE FIRST HALF of 1972 Volkswagen sales were down 5 percent in Germany and 7 percent abroad. An product line and competition for the small car manufacturers caused the slump. Now Honda Motor Co.'s new engine will offer additional competition. JAPANS SANKO Steamship Co. will supply 51 oil tankers on charter to European, British and U.S. shipowners. The charters will start in 1974 at tow prices for 85,000 ton vessels. The Japanese government subsidizes the yards that build smaller tankers such as these. No wonder the Japs control 50 percent of the worlds shipbuilding with an aim for 75 percent. Charters are supplied with full crews, often cheap labor from Korea. By 1975 Sanko will operate 20 million tons of shipping. ed low-polluti- on By Roy I. McGhee -- The 92nd Congress, just ended, enacted landmark bills that may prove equal in impact to any legislation this century. The 93rd Congress will be hard put to match the record in this regard.

In one quantum right vance, this amendment added 11 million to the voting rolls. One has to go back more than 50 years to find a constitutional change of comparable impact the womens suffrage amendment. Another constitutional change approved by Congress not yet ratified would grant legal equality to women. If and when ratified, this amendment is certain to work drastic changes in the social and legal fabric of the nation. Legislatively, the 92nd Congress embarked the country on a revolutionary road in the federalist experiment. It decreed that a portion of the taxes collected by the central government be returned for .use by state and local governments with no controls. There is only one issue looming for the next Congress that will approach this in terms of philosophy of government. That is universal, comprehensive medical and hospital care. There will be bitter fights in the 93rd Congress, many of them over bills that were too controversial to pass in the 92nd. They will include lt such issues as automobile no-fau- insurance, consumer protection, pension reform, housing and compensation for crime victims. knowledge on the subhe said, ject, Cutler was attempting to board a plane, and something in his carry-o- n luggage set off a metal detector, used to prevent would-b- e hijackers from smuggling guns or other weapons aboard airliners, A marshal, Maynard Longway, testified that he asked Cutler's permission to search his bag, per-Th- e mission was given and the marijuana was found, scientific Cutler testified howeyeK that Longway yanked the away from him and openedUt without per-o- f mission, Sutlers defense asked that the .marijuana thus be rutod inad-o-r misiible as evidenceOfitne grounds it was seized hr knJllegalqfatth.

Good Bets, Job No-Fau- - YORK (ACCCN) American business may be writing off the older worker for popularly-hel- d beliefs that are wrong. Support for the notion that rider workers perform well and consistently so comes from a recent survey that shows workers over the age of 65 performed their jobs about equal to and sometimes better than younger workers. In addition, the survey found that rider workers are at least as punctual when reporting to workd as1 younger employees; have fewer accidents and are less often absent from work because of illiness. The survey of employment in 34 New York State agencies was undertaken by the states Division of Human Rights. As New York Human Rights Commissioner Jack Sable put It: We had hoped to be able to show that there were no NEW Far-Reachi- ng WASHINGTON (UP I) standards, to be admitted as evidence. Most U.S. courts, local and federal, will not accept lie detector tests as proof that a person is telling the truth or a lie. But, Judge Miller said, courts are greatly in need of some way to determine when defendants and witnesses are telling the truth, and the lie detector has now reached an acceptable level of accuracy. trial verdict may depend on credibility, he said. Perjury is prevalent and the oath taken by witnesses has little effect to deter false testimony. The principal role the trier of fact is the search for truth and any reasonable procedure method to assist the court in this search should be employed.

We were prepared to accept some small adverse findings which, might have been regarded as of minimal importance. The results of the survey are astonishingly in favor of the over 65 worker, and should lead all employers, public and private, to review their assessments of older workers. The 34 agencies employed over 132,000 employees. Of these 3,705, or 2.8 per cent, were over age 65. of the agencies Twenty-thre- e indicated that there was no appreciable difference in the rates of absenteeism resulting from illness, accidents or unexplained reasons between workers over age 65 and -- those under 65. Nine agencies in- dicated that attendance records in the older group were in fact more satisfactory. Only one state agency indicated noticeably less satisfactory attendance. Twelve of the reporting agencies indicated noticeably better punctuality among older workers, while 21 agencies indicated that employees over 65 were equally punc- lual. Success lt If!

New York Suit Reaches Judge NEW YORK (UPI)-Manh- attan Supreme Court Justice Thomas C. Chimera has reserved decision on a state suit ggainst the Mobil Oil Corporation that charges the giant firm with price discrimination and price fixing. Mobil Attorney Sanford Litvak told the court that the alleged law violations of the state anti-truwhen added up simply do not state a violation of the law. The state has charged the corporation with price discrimination among its dealers, price fixing and forcing dealers to sell only Mobil accessories such as tires, windshield wipers and batteries. Asst. Ally. Gen. Charles Latorella sharply disputed Litvaks claim by telling Chimera that our case does set a cause of action against the company. At one point in the arguments, Chimera, affter being told that Mobil requires its dealers to sell only its accessories, said this has been going on since the time of civilization and why is the attorney general just now getting on this. Latorella replied that his office had received many complaints from dealers and the vast majority of them were against Mobil. The court had asked earlier, Why didnt you go after Esso or other gas companies? Why did you have to pick on poor little Mobil? st Latorella said that additional action against the other companies wuld be forthcoming |
