DALLAS — Automobile
dealers anticipate a strong year
for sales and believe Walter
Mondale will win the Democra
tic presidential nomination, a
survey at the National Auto
Dealers Association convention
showed Sunday.
More than 150 dealers from
43 slates attended the conven
tion, and the survey showed that
66 percent added to their new
car inventories and 83 percent
expect to further increase their
stock this year.
The poll showed 88 percent
will augment their service de
partment facilities in light of in
creased servicing in 1983.
The survey indicated 79 per
cent of the dealers polled believe
Mondale will be the Democratic
presidential nominee.

VANCOUVER, Wash. —
Scientists monitoring the rise of
molten lava inside Mount St.
Helens said Sunday a small ex
plosion or landslide may occur
in the next few days, but ack
nowledged that predictions ab
out the volcano amount to a
guessing game.
Magma rising beneath the
huge lava dome in the southwest
Washington volcano’s crater
could burst onto the surface ear
ly this week, geologists said.
Seismic levels and ground de
formation near the lava dome
have accelerated since last Tues
day, scientists with the U.S.
Geological Survey and Universi
ty of Washington geophysics de
partment reported in a joint
statement.
“Many small earthquakes are
occurring within and just be
neath the dome,” the scientists
said after taking measurements
in the mile-wide crater. “Much
and possibly all of the dome and
some parts of the crater floor are
deforming. It appears that mag
ma is rising beneath the dome at
an increased rate.”
The new signs of renewed
activity came almost a year after
the volcano began a continuous
dome-building, non-explosive
eruption.
The year-old eruption is the
longest period of continuous
activity at Mount St. Helens
since the May 18, 1980, blast that
blew out the north face of the
mountain. It felled trees 20
miles away, sent a mushroom
cloud of ash drifting across sev
eral states and lef t more than 50
people dead or missing.
Geological Survey spokes
man Steven Brantley said the
deformation of the northern,
less stable portion of the 800-
foot-tall lava dome “has acceler
ated in the past few days.”
“That, in turn, means the
chances of a rocklall, landslide
or avalanche on the dome or
small explosions have increased,
but we’re not predicting a land
slide or small explosion,” he
said.
Despite the new rumblings,
the “red /Tme” around the volca
no was open to those with per
mits, Brantley said, and a 24-
hour pumping operation to
keep nearby Spirit Lake from
breaking through a dam of vol
canic debris will remain in oper
ation.

Man to be arraigned Sh
in capital murder caseec
United Press International
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A
retired preacher who’s been
sharing his home with an ac
cused murderer said Sunday he
does not believe his roommate
shot five women in an 11-day
spree.
Syvasky Poyner, 27, a fast
food restaurant worker, will be
arraigned Monday on a capital
murder charge in the shooting
death of a Hampton woman.
Police say they are confident
they can link Poyner to four
other Tidewater area slayings.
Each victim was shot once in
the left side of the head at about
lunchtime. Police will not discuss
a possible motive for the killings,
although all involved a cash rob
bery or car theft.
Willie Wilson, 79, a retired
minister, finds the charges
against Poyner hard to believe.
Wilson has shared his small
home with Poyner for the last
five months.
“To tell you the truth, I never
seen nobody better than that
man,” Wilson said. “Go all up
and down the street, he never
bothered no one. He’d come in
say ‘Hi, Dad,’ and never bother
me a bit.”
Wilson said Poyner moved in
with him after Poyner and his
wife, Theresa, fell on hard
financial times. T heresa Poyner
moved in with her mother, but
there was no room for her hus
band.
Mrs. Poyner said she has
talked to her husband since his
arrest and he told her he did not
kill anyone.
Wilson lives in a modest brick
home in a working class neigh
borhood. Poyner’s tiny bed
room, littered with girlie maga
zines and posters, has not been
cleaned since police searched
the room, looking for a .38 cali
ber pistol, among other items.
Police have not said what was
recovered from the room.
