Although not specifying _ any particular car types, the safety group said the prob- lem involves more than 19 million mid-sized and full- sized GM cars with automatic transmissions from the 1977 to 1982 model years. In a statement, the safety administration confirmed that it has been investigating sudden acceleration prob- lems by GM cars dating back to 1971 models. » Action Train Sale jad Runner:Train Setzrce,.” © Locomotives Assorted 32°" © Regular Freight Cars Assorted :ze=7--"-~ e- Action & Transport Railway Carsie<"--"~ © 9” Straight Trackiemr- 5% °°: © 18” Curved Track#r2-"2 © RIC Switch RiHiecees © RIC Switch UHiese= © Manual Switch R/H seer" © Manual Switch L/Hiesr-%" - © Building Assortmentiz<27-% © LIGHTS ° BOXED CARDS} | * DECORATIONS AS te NIASAVE IRS: OPEN DEC. 28 & 29 T0 6P.M.

He was freed on $1,500 bail and is scheduled to appear in court in sub- urban Compton on Jan. 6. Sparkenbach said officers spotted a broken window on an Audi 4000 headed north- botind in the rain on a free- way near at 5 a.m. “A broken window in a newer model car might indi- cate it was stolen,” said Sparkenbach. “So the officers ran the licence plate and our computer system said it was stolen from (nearby) Lake- wi le “After the stop, the offi- cers observed in plain view a six-inch glass vial with a white substance,” he said. “It was field-tested positive for cocaine. We'll have to have a lab test on it, also. “Additionally; they ob- served a clear-glass, water- type pipe. That’s commonly used in using cocaine. WEIGHED 20 GRAMS Sparkenbach said the test- tube vial and the white sub- stance together weighed 20 grams. Wills told police the car had been loaned to him by a friend at a restaurant, Spark- enbach said, adding Wills didn't identify the friend. “The only statement he made was, ‘You can't go into my car, can‘ you?’ ” Spark- ‘enbach said. “Then he asked for a laywer.” ; Wills, ‘a switch-hitter, played for the Dodgers from 1959-66. He was traded to Pittsburgh Pirates and went to Montreal Expos in the ex- pansion draft after the 1968 season. Early in the 1969 cam- paign, he returned to the Dodgers, where he played through the 1972 season be- fore announcing his retire- ment. After that, Wills worked as a baseball commentator for NEC on Game of the Week. telecasts.
