OTTAWA (CP) — The
Chrysler twins, Omni and
Horizon, have been jointly
named the lemon of the year
by the Automobile Protec-
tion Association.

Althoogh Omnl-Horizons,
dating back to 1978 models,
comprise only about 2,7 per

cent of the cars on Canadian ,

highways, about eight per
cent of complaints received
by the association's Ottawa
office in 1981 concerned the
subcompacts.

The complaints ranged
from faulty values and front-
wheel bearings to decompos-
ing upholstery and seized

doors, safd David Wineberg,
Ottawa director of the con-
sumer advocacy group.that is
the scourge of the Prinetele
auto makers,

“I'm here to warn people
not to buy them,” Wineberg
told reporters. “I couldn't
recommend anyone buy a
used Omni.”

The association's trophy —
a plastic lemon equipped with
four wheels and a miniature
motor — will not be pre-
sented to Chrysler. The com-
pany probably would not re-
turn the award when it was
time to give it to another

‘magutactarey” ‘next | year, “20,000 kilometre:

Wineberg joked.

In a telephone interview
from Windsor, Ont., Walt
McCall, a Chrysler Canada
Ltd... spokesman, . defended
his ailing company’s product.

“The. Omni-Horizons ‘have
been pretty damn successful
cara,” McCall said, “They're
still Selling quite'well .... The
product pretty well speaks
for itself, its own success.”

The ‘company has helped
some of the 80,000 owners of
Omni-Horizons by extending
the. warranty on 1978-80
models to two years or 40,000

People become law

By K.R.8, RAJAN
CP Correspondent

NEW DELHI (CP) —
During a recent two-month
period, villagers of Bhaga-
Ipur County have caught at
least 16 bandits, clubbed
them to death and dumped
the bodies into rivers or bur-
ded them jin forests,

“There is no use waiting
for the police to arrive,” says
Ishwar Prasad, a county
farmer. “We know they will
never arrive. So when we
catch a bandit we just kill
him.”

“This is real people's jus-
tice," adds Shiv Shankar, an-

. other farmer. “We know they
are bandits and we do not
want to give them a second
chance.” | .

Shankar tells of how three
bandits raided his hamlet 29
kilometres from the’ nearest
police station and ‘killed an
old widow. The bandits were
chased, caught and killed on
the spot.

Bhagalpur County, located
in India’s Bihar province, has
a population of nearly three
million, but ‘its police force
consists of fewer than 1,200
officers. Many crimes go un-
detected because there are
just no policemen to investi-
gate...

News..reports _ estimate
that 200 bandits may have
been killed throughout Bihar
in the last year. Police admit

“Gangsters now are terri-

fied,” one official says. “We
know the action of the vil-
lages is itself criminal and
they can be tried for murder.
We have mounted a cam-
paign against the lawless
killings of suspected bandits
but so far the response from
villagers has been poor.”
Villagers charge that po-
licemen often are in collusion
with bandits. Said one far-
mer: “When we reported an
attack by armed bandits on

* our village, the police arrived

after five days. They said our
report was exaggerated.
They did not believe us even
when we showed two men
who had been seriously in-
jured by the gangsters.”
Some government officials
say privately that people's
justice cannot be condemned
outright when the adminis-
tration does not guarantee
the safety of law-abiding cit-

- izens.

IGNORE COMPLAINTS

Said a Bhagalpur journa-
list, who requested anony-
mity:

-“I'm against the so-called
people’s justice. But what
does one tell villagers when
the police do not even reg-
ister complaints about armed.

A Bhagaplur lawyer said

table. after. ‘police: failed to
move against ‘known bandit

demonstrations, against the
growing lawlessness in the
countryside.

For the first time in sev-
eral years, he added,. Bhag-
alpur and some other’ coun-
tries _were comparatively
free of major crimes.

“The biggest problem - -

being considered by Chrysler
at all,” Wineberg said...

Of 191 complaints received

ita 22,000 letter carriers have
reached a tentative two-year
pact calling for more pay,
better vacations, better mat-
ernity leave and a dental
plan. :

TORONTO (CP) — In what
is proably the largest and
most expensive recall by any
car importer in Canadian
history, Honda Canada Inc.
will order back every 1973 to

~1979 Honda car for testing

and repairs of rust problems.
The recall, i an es-

Harry Kershaw, chief of
inspection in the federal
Transport Department's ve-
hicle ,safety branch, said
underbody. rusting has been
connected with a small num-
ber of highway accidents but

timated 176,000 cars, is in”

addition to a voluntary pro-
gram to replace rusted fen-
ders on 1975 to 1979’ models.

Letters requesting owners
to send their cars to deal-
erships will be sent out later

this month.

Although cost of the recall
is not yet known, a company.
spokesman said a smaller re-
call in Eastern Canada: last
year amounted.to about $200

per car. This means the na-

Last yea, the U.S. federal

spread and cause serious
structural damage if not cor-
