Big Deal in Small Ones
By CHARLES YARBRoUGH

Your vision isn't deceiving
you when you stand on a ceT-
ner and idly count the number
of compact cars going by.
Impact of the compacts is, to
some in the industry, a "phe-
nomena," increasing an aver
age of one per cent a month for
the last 18 months. Last month
the smaller cars took over "a
per cent of the market.
Pioneer of the compacts
American Motors George Rom
ney, says the trend is still in its
infancy.
The 1861 AutomOtive News
Almanac being issued today
goes into considerable detail on
the impact. The reference book
summarizes 1860 as the year in
which the new compacts left
their deepest mark.
1t shows a total of 1852 mil
lion compacts were registered
in this country last year, a gain
of over l million sold in 1859
and a 25 per cent share Of the
industry's 1860 volume. Ford
Motor Co.'s Malcolm L. Denise,
testifying before a Labor sub
committee hearing last week,
put the 1860 figure at 90 per
cent of the total sales.
The Ford vice president also
said that the trend toward

Mr.. Bunker cited two big

The other is the Pershing missile
for the Army, which will join
the country's arsenal in 1862.
The company delivered its
last airplane, a P5M-2 Marlin
for the Navy, as 1860 closed. In

continue to speed large sums
on aircraft but emphasized

Martin has also been pushing
