T HE BAT? MUON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1979 Tops in auto industry will meet to ‘re-invent car* to conserve fuel United Press International DETROIT —* Transportation Secretary Brock Adams has called hundreds of the nation’s top automotive experts to Boston this week to begin an “all-out search” for a revolutionary, fuel-conserving car for the 1990s. The two-day conference, described by transportation officials as the first of its kind, is intended to lay the technical groundwork for a top level automotive summit meeting in Washington this spring. Adams called for the summit during a recent Detroit speech in which he accused the automakers of taking a “patchwork approach” to improving fuel economy. He hinted tough federal mandates for fuel economy through 1985 may be just the beginning and challanged the industry to “re-invent the car” by the 1990s. The auto companies have been relying mainly on downsizing and weight reduction to meet federal mileage standards. Their work on power sources has been largely limited to refinements of traditional internal combustion engines. Adams invited some 600 experts to the Boston meeting. They in clude automotive and oil industry engineers and technicians, inde pendent researchers, consumer advocates, environmentalists, gov ernment officials and others. He said objectives of the conference will be to come up with a pool of technical options for automakers to choose from in designing cars beyond 1985 with attention focused on “the need for a more fuel- efficient and safe automobile.” The conference will include panel discussions by experts on the state of research on future engines, fuels and power train systems and vehicle structures and materials. 4 1 came. ... Vm starving^ Protest farmers fed United Press International WASHINGTON — Some of the farmers who tied up Washington traffic last week in their quest for higher crop prices were invited to dinner in local homes Sunday by people interested in their problems. The people-to-people program was started by a Washington radio station and both farmers and local citizens responded in modest num bers. Jack Eden, garden editor of WTOP-AM, told Sunday morning listeners they could pick up dinner guests on a local street corner if they were interested in the farmers’ complaints. About 100 of the more than 1,000 farmers who are in Washington for the protest stood in line waiting for invitations and many received them. Kyle Schartz, 17, of Great Bend, Kan., tried to keep warm as he waited for strangers fo drop by and pick him up. “I came down to eat,” he said. “I’m starving.” He and his family spent the week in a trailer as part of the American Agriculture Movement encamp- Dr. Z The Battalion Classified ment on the snow-covered Mi mile-long area between theCif and the Washington Monun surrounded by art galleries museums.
