36-THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MD, Mondoy, August 16, 1976 Used, cars: not a bargain on the lot GLEN BURNIE (AP)-Motorists shopping for bargains on used-car lots in Maryland may be in for a lot of looking. Prices are escalating rapidly for second-hand aulos, and a spot check of several lots in the slate found some threc-and four-year old models selling for more than they b'roughl off the showroom floor. A used-car lot near Catonsville, for instance, recently offered a 1974 Fiat four-door sedan at 53.595, marked down Fj-om $3,795. A widely used industry publication showed the car sold new for about $3,400. At another lot, a 1972 Chevrolet Impala convertible with 50,000 miles' on the odometer was featued at 67 per cent of its new-car A a guide used by many Maryland auto dealers listed a 1973 Mustang with a higher re- lail price in the summer of 1975 than it did one year earlier.

A spokesman for the Labor Department said used-car prices computed part of Ihe Consumer Price Index (CP1) have jumped nearly 16 per cent since the beginning of the year. Prices on second-hand cars have been one of Ihe fastest-rising items on Ihe CP1 list, he said, noting that they recorded an 8.1 per cent ineresc in 1975 and a whopping 22.9 per cent hike in 1974': By comparison, he said, newcar prices on the CPI rose less than half a per cent in Ihe first halt of this year and the total index went up just 2.36 per cent. During J975, the Labor Department said, new car. prices went up 7.3 per cent and to 1974, 11.5 per cent. A research a a for Ihe a i a Automobile Dealers Association cited three factors in the rising cost of used cars: Predictions of higher new-car prices in 1977, production declines in Detroit in recent years and poor model mix.

"Two years in a row the factory'misread consumer demands, building big cars when they wanted small ones and small ones when they wanted big ones," he said. "This, too, has pushed prices up." Swimmers' body recovered from lake VASS, N.C. (AP) The body.of MelvlmRakes, 22, of New- News, was recovered Sunday in a lake near here by rescue squad personnel. -Hakes, a civilian electrician at the Newport News shipyard, Irylng to swim across Ihe 400-to 600-foot lake Saturday laflernoon with his half brother, Tim Rakes, 16, and his Phil Joines, 18, when he tired, Moore County Coroner :A.B. Parker said.

Joines, 18, said Rakes turned to him when they were about 40 'yards from the other side'and said, "1 think I'm going to need 'some help." Joines said he put his arm around Rakes and twice tried to help him, but was unable to gel him to shore. Area rescue squads dragged Thurlow's Lake, a popular "wimmlng lake, until late Saturday night and until noon Sunday, when the body was recovered. Foul play suspected ROCKV1LLE, Md. (AP) Montgomery County, police say foul play may be involved in the disappearance of an employe of Eugene M. Gino Caralfa, the antique car whose chained and bloated body was found floating near Slaten Island on Aug.

4. Pal Sherman worked at Caraffa's antique car showroom in Abingdon, Md. But police said Saturday that he has not been seen in that area since raid-July. And the Abingdon post office reported that his mail has been piling up for several weeks. Archeological expedition Labrador search ends; Smithsonian student lost Bay-Kepone tie clarification due KASTON by the at ttw EnvtronmMU) Protection tuk force OB regarding the chemical's Impact on the Chesapeake Bay are due for some clarification according to Rep.

Robert E. Baurnan. 1 lie Maryland Republican said he had been told by Russell Train, EPA administrator, that the agency would release a statement Monday regarding comments by Dr. Jack Blanchard, the Depone task force chief. Bauman did not indicate what the EPA state- men! might include.

Blanchard said last week that the bay could face an "environmental disaster" within Ihree to five yean because of Ihe spread of Kepone, a pesticide ingredient suspected of causing cancer in laboratory mice. Since those statements were published, Bauma'n, whose district includes Maryland's Eastern Shore, said he has received numerous calls from watermen and other constituents. The callers included both Ihose concerned about the possible presence of the chemical in Maryland's portion of the bay and others worried about economic impact of Blanchard's statements, he said. Bauinan said he understands from Train that the EPA is reviewing alternatives for stopping the spread of Kepone lip the bay from the James River in Virginia, where the chemical was allegedly dumped as waste material from a now-closed pesticide manufacturing plant. WASHINGTON A The, search for Anne Abraham, Ihe 19-year-pld student who disappeared Aug.

5 during an archaeological expedition in northern. Labrador, has been called off. "The best conjecture is that she was lost In the cliff area along the northern shore and must have slipped and fell in the water," her brother, Edward, 27, said in a telephone interview. "The water there Is 1 at the freezing point, with icebergs If she'd fallen in, she couldn't have lived long, even with her knowledge of scuba and swimming." Edward had flown to the area shortly after he received the news about his sister. He said he left Ihe site atyng Ramah Bay on Friday and got home late night.

He said he and two Mentis, including Anne's boyfriend, Slephan Loring, were Ihe only people doing an extensive land search. Bui he said he felt that all Ihe land which could not be seen from the airhad been covered. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and- the Air Sea Rescue Squad had sent in helicopters. But their efforts and the land search failed lo turn up anything more concrete than a few footprints near the last place she was seen. Attempts to explore'caves known lo the 'Eskimos near the 2.000-foot mountain Miss Abraham was last seen trying lo circumvent also proved fruitless.

"The caves diiin't turn out to be the type we had visualized and so 1 believe that now police feel there is nothing they can do bul close out Ihe case," said Hilda Abraham, Ihe mother of the George Washington University sophomore. This was Miss Abraham's sixth summer as part of a Smithsonian Institute archaeological research team. She was 14 when she went on her first archeologieal expedition. Her brother, who is now a Harvard medical student, accompanied her on that trip. "My son said he could see what Anne was doing, Mrs.

Abraham said. "It is a place untouched since prehistoric limes, with a strange kind of beauty despite all its horror and remoteness. He.said he could feel her excitement'aboul what "she was working on." OMEGA WATCHES Md. RxMdn Bracket Sales and Service, a i Jewelers, 6 E. Wash.
