G.I, MUST BE 18 OVER CLASSES START SEPT. 22 Analysts Confirm What Auto Executives The Worst Is Over DETROIT (UPI) Analysts say early September new car sales reports will confirm what auto executives have proclaimed recently that the worst is over for the depressed industry. Industry analysts said reports due today from the four U.S. carmakers will show sales 14 per cent below a year ago, but equal to the same period in 1973 just before the Arab oil embargo sent the industry into a two-year slump. Sales were expected to reach about 140,000 cars and could go as high as 145,000.

The higher figure would surpass 1973 and put this year's Sept. 1-10 period on the books as the fifth best in history. However, there still were signs that all is not well with the industry. Long-term layoffs today still numbered 81,600 workers out of the industry's blue collar force Exclusive EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT IS of 700,000. Because of the switch to 1976-model production, temporary layoffs climbed from 3,025 last week to 14,275 today.

The trade publication Automotive News said car inventories that held steady during July began to climb again in August, reaching a 70-day supply. The rise was due in part to production of 1976 models which don't go on sale until mid- September. Analysts said the 70-day inventory, a record high for August, was still well below the 100-day supplies of early January that triggered massive layoffs and production cutbacks. A 60 to 65-day supply is considered normal. In the Sept.

1-10 period last year, domestic new car sales hit a daily rate of 20,310 cars, just short of the record set in 1955. Guest Night You and a guest admitted for only 12.00 2 persons for 12.00 at the LYRIC The Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek District Railroad serving the gold camps of Victor and Cripple Creek in the early 1900s traversed scenery so spectacular President Theodore Roosevelt, after making the trip and seeking a description, said: "It bankrupts the English language."

The tools are designed especially for cleaning sewers and working on septic tanks. The question sheriff's officers might be asking is, Showdown Over Secret Documents Is Imminent WASHINGTON (UPI) A House.investigating committee today moved toward a showdown with the White House over possession of classified intelligence documents.

The White House called on the House Select Committee on Intelligence to return immediately "all classified materials previously furnished the committee" after the committee released five paragraphs of a Middle East situation report made just before the 1973 Arab-Israeli hostilities broke out. The committee's chairman, Otis Pike, said he would not comply with the request until he consults with committee members and House Speaker Carl Albert. The White House said the text of the released paragraphs contained words still classified. But Pike said his committee will continue releasing information if it is in the public interest. Pike said a closed committee meeting to map out the committee's next step was necessary.

Vice President Nelson Rockefeller said during the weekend the spreading of intelligence documents around could be dangerous. Rockefeller, who had headed a presidential commission to investigate the CIA, said Pike's committee had "breached American security." "The trouble is, a lot of people are handling materials who are not trained and do not understand their importance or in terms of our national security. This could be extremely dangerous." Assistant Attorney General Rex Lee insisted on return of the documents. He said executive branch employes will be instructed to refuse to testify or provide classified information "until the committee satisfactorily alters its position." Harris Campaigns In State Combining populist politics with a cheerful, easygoing manner, former U.S. Senator Fred Harris campaigned across southern Michigan during the weekend to raise funds for his 1976 Democratic presidential bid.

He spoke against the wealthy and blasted the Ford administration in appearances in Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo. But he was delighted at the early-morning turnout of several hundred students in Ann Arbor and quipped: "I wouldn't be out here to hear some guy at this time on a Sunday morning." Harris, who also sought the Democratic nomination in 1972, said he hopes to score victories in key primaries, then build a following of workers, blacks, supporters of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, liberals and ethnic groups. His primary mission to Michigan was to raise funds and build a campaign organization in the state. More Anti-Busung Rallies LOUISVILLE, Ky.
