Defense plans to be upgraded
WASHINGTON—The Carter administration said yesterday it was launching a five-year plan for evacuating millions of Americans from cities under threat of nuclear attack. The administration the plan, which may cost as much as $2 billion, was necessary because present fallout shelters were outdated.
Bardy I. Tramo, U.S. civil defense director, said the shelters currently available in American cities were not sufficient to meet the modern nuclear threats.

Given the current situation, we should add a news conference the new plan would be similar to the Soviet civil defense programs, whose size have caused concern among critics of U.S. forces.

FTC puts saueeze on lemons
WASHINGTON—A government report saying the sale of "demons" by our car dealers is an important consumer abuse, called yesterday for a federal investigation, says the National Association of Auto Dealers.
The Federal Trade Commission staff, in a 654-page report concluding five years of investigation and hearings, proposed that vehicles on used car lots be required to carry notice revealing any defects. The proposal will have to be followed, because if it becomes law after, that legal challenges by the industry are likely.
The proposed requirement would make use car dealers put the notices on windows of the 10.5 million vehicles sold annually. The regulation would not prevent cars from being parked in front of a building.
Industry groups, who opposed the requirement at the hearings, attacked the report. They said the requirement would be inflatory, harmful to their in-
vestigators.
