VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. —
Some ironic recognition has come
to artist Ed Roebuck, who defaced
his paintings with spray paint to
protest their auction.
Roebuck sprayed 60 of his
paintings last week with black x’s,
shortly after learning that liens
had been placed against them to
collect three months’ back rent.
Since then, the artist said Mon
day, he’s been swamped with calls
from buyers and galleries in
Washington, D.C., and New York
that want to display his work.
Roebuck said: “People didn’t
notice much when I made them,
but they turned their heads when
I destroyed them. It is our sick
ness. ”
Before his protest, Roebuck
had sold only one painting at the
Norfolk gallery where they were
on display, but since then seven of
the x-covered originals have been
sold.
“It seems like I screamed out to
a lot of people, ” Roebuck said.
Roebuck said he has refused an
offer from an entrepreneur who
sought permission to reprint one
of the marred paintings on a T-
shirt, and does not plan to raise
the price of the works, which he
valued at $30,000.

The 1982 model year is likely to
dark one for auto buyers,
autoworkers and automakers. And
much of the plight can be traced to
high interest rates that have
thrown a wrench into the in
dustry.
Chase Econometrics, a private
economic forepasting firm, has
predicted that 9.2 million cars will
be sold during the model year,
down from last month’s prediction
of9.3 million. Just a few years ago,
sales topped 11.3 million.
A small amount of improve

quarter of 1982; however, this will
not be enough to offset the overall
bad year, the firm said.
Concerned by such dismal fore
casts, leaders of the United Auto
Workers union have gathered in
Detroit for a three-day meeting of
the union’s executive board. The
conference started Tuesday.
Conference topics are likely to
include ways to keep the the auto
industry afloat.
Two automakers — American
Motors and International Harves
ter — have requested concessions
in advance of the next contract and
other automakers have asked for
the same treatment.
But union leaders have stood
firm against pressure from em
ployers for takebacks similar to
those granted Chrysler Corp. in
the midst of its recent problems.
Chase’s Automotive Economist
Wesley Stuchlak said high interest
rates are a major reason for the
auto industry blues.
“I guess that you have to expect
the auto industry to recover when
both the economy recovers and
interest rates come down,’ ' he
said.
In Washington, deputy White
House press secretary 1 I^arry
Speakes told reporters that Presi
dent Reagan’s economic plan is on
target. The plan’s success can be
seen in the declining inflation
rate, he said.

Board Chairman Roy Andes
said only five of the $50 ml
planes were ordered in thefirsl
months of 1981 and orders!
three others were canceled.
Responding to questions about
the unemployment rate of more
than 8 percent, Speakes predicted
an economic upsurge in the
second half of 1982.
