The decline was due to lower production by General Motors Corp., which slowed its pace of building several car lines and laid off thou- sands of workers in the face of slowing sales and a slip- ping hold on the U.S. market BUSINESS. 1985's record of 15.72 million in sales of domestic and im- ported models. In contrast to GM, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. increased their car produc- tion, figures show. American Honda, which expahded its U.S. factory in Ohio, and Nissan, which has a plant in Tennessee, also increased their production. Toyota started building cars in the U.S. in September for the first time at a Cal- it dominated for decades. Despite the lower produc- tion, record sales of about 16 million cars and trucks are expected in 1986, eclipsing ifornia plant it owns jointly with GM. American Motors saw its car production decline sharp- ly while Volkswagen of LONG TERM DEALS Trend changing By PATTI TASKO ‘Canadian Press Back in the days when interest rates only came in single-digit models, people signed up for mortgages that would be with them longer than their children. However, times and interest rates have changed. Since the 1970s,,most mortgages have been for five years or less, as homeowners were hesitant to borrow, and banks were reluctant to lend, money on a long-term basis in an atmosphere of turbulent rate changes. No more. Stable interest rates have induced several companies to offer longer-term mortgages. Most recently, London Life Insurance Co., Prudential Insurance Co. and Canada Trust have introduced 10-year terms. The longer term comes with a bigger price-tag. At Canada Trust, for instance, the 10-year-rate is one-quarter of a percentage point higher than the five-year rate, and 1% points above the one-year rate. GIVES SECURITY As well, if the. financial institution is using mortgage-backed securities to finance the mortgage, it must be insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., which costs between one and 2.5 per cent of the value of the mortgage. “The biggest benefit (of 10-year mortgages) is you remove yourself from the volatility” of the interest rate market, says Doug Campbell, director of mortgages at London Life. The mortgages are most attractive to young, first-time homebuyers who want to know they will face the same monthly payment for along period, says Peter Carter, vice-president of mortgage services for the Royal Bank. ine “They want to go home at night and sleep comfortably, knowing their payment is $560 a month,” agrees Bob Overholt, vice-president of retail credit at Canada Trust. “There's a lot to be said for that,” adds Carter, whose bank, Canada’s largest, doesn’t offer the 10-year option. “But with the safety net come restrictions.” SEES PROBLEM Toronto real estate lawyer Alan Silverstein says the security of a long-term motgage may turn into a disadvantage if your cir change. “The biggest problem is trying to predict where you'll be in 10 years,” says Silverstein. “How many of us will be in the same house 10 years from now?” It also may be harder to sell your house if you want the buyer to assume your mostgage, he adds. You can collapse it after three years — when all CMHC-guar anteed mortgages become open — but it will cost you a penalty, likely three months’ interest. Silverstein says short-term rates are currently such a bargain compared with the longer term rates that many of his clients take out six-month mortgages and keep renewing them. Smart clients make sure their mortgage contains a clause that enables them to lock in a rate at any time in case interest rates start heading up, he says. NEEDS COURAGE However, he admits that many people would be unwilling to live under such uncertainty. “You've got to have the stomach to get into the market every six months.” Silverstein adds that the longer-term financing would be much more attractive if it was portable — transferrable from one house to another — which would allow people to buy and sell houses without paying a penalty each time to get out of their mortgage contract. Campbell estimates that 10-year term mortgages represent only two per cent of London Life's mortgage business. Prudential has put aside only enough money for about 500 borrowers seeking an average of $50,000. And Carter predicted a greater demand will have to be shown before the Big Five banks offer the term. “I don’t know that borrowers feel the (interest rate) market has bottomed out,” Carter said The Royal's figures don't suggest a demand for longer terms. In recent months, about 67 per cent of the America’s exsed GM plants turned out 55.1 per cent of the 7,828,029 cars assembled in the U.S. last year by the eight domestic manufacturers. That com- pared with 59.7 per cent of the nearly 8.19 million cars assembled in 1985. But as the year ended, the giant corporation saw its share of sales fall to 50 per cent or less of the domestic market for several weeks. That prompted indefinite and temporary layoffs for 25,000 workers with another 4,500 jobs at three luxury car plants due to be eliminated early in the new year. two permanent layoffs for 29,000 employees. GM has been curtailing its production to avoid the need to offer costly sales incen- tives to help dealers unload unsold vehicles. Ahalysts forecast that car production by the U.S. in- dustry will ease forther in 1987 as market demand eases and new cars imported from Korea, Mexico and Brazil be- come available. “The market is oversup- plied so I expect price- ities.

Gender switch a concern TORONTO (CP) — It's the great gehder switch. It's happening in public relations, human resources and even banking.

By comparison, for all of last year the Toronto Stock Exchange's 300 composite index gained only about six per cent. Both exchanges, after six days of consecutive ad- vances, closed at new highs Friday. The TSE index jumped 30.29 points, almost a full per cent Fri to close at 3,208.76. For the week it has gained 140.98 points or 4.6 per cent. In New York, Jones industrial average, which broke through the 2,000-point level Thursday, climbed 3.66 points to close at 2,005.91. For the week the Dow Jones was up 78.60 points or 4.08 per cent. New York analysts blamed the slower advance Friday on a report that the unemploy. ment rate fell to 6.7 per cent in December from a revised 6.9 per cent in November, prompting some speculation that lower unemployment rates may be signalling an increase in interest rates. “The rally was subverted by the unemployment fig ure,” said Larry Wachtel of Prudential Bache Securities. But, he added, “the liquidity is so enormous that each time you try to correct you meet support.” Don Dillistone, analyst with Richardson Green- shields in Winnipeg, said of the Canadian markets: “The sideways correction is over heading for higher the Dow After quick gains early in 1986, the TSE had been in the doldrums moving side- ways since last April.

A study on the velvet ghetto and its limits on wom- en's success has raised con- troversy. A recent study by the International Association of Business Communicators said women hold more than 70 per cent of jobs in public relations, but they're. filling the role of communication “technicians” rather than managers — creating a ghetto-like situation with avenues to senior manage- ment often blocked. _ Women have always been active in public relations, Kanzler notes.

QUINN UPSETS NHL VANCOUVER (CP) — The Vancouver Canucks broke their code of silence late Friday night to defend the unexpected signing of expelled coach Pat Quinn of the Los Angeles Kings. The Canucks said they welcome an investigation into their unannounced signing Dec. 24 of Quinn, then coach of the Kings, to become president and general manager of the struggling Vancouver franchise next season. Quinn was expelled from the National Hockey League earlier Friday by NHL president John Ziegler for signing a éontract witty Vancouverfor ‘the 1987-88 season and for accepting money from the Canucks while still the coach of the Kings. “We understand there will be an investigation,” the Canucks and Quinn said in a statement prepared by their lawyers. “We welcome and anxiously await the investigation. “We ard certain that when the facts are known they will completely exonerate Mr. Quinn and the Vancouver Canucks from any alleged wrongdoing.” Ziegler said in a statement released at NHL headquarters in Montreal that Quinn “may not be an employee of any member club of the league or involved in any further activities on behalf of the league or its member clubs.” PROBE PLANNED The NHL president said an investigation of the signing will be launched by his office. His acknowledged that Quinn's present three-year contract with the Kings, which expires at the end of the current season, is not on file with the NHL, “thus precluding Los Angeles from pursuing tampering charges.” Although all player contracts must be registerd with the league, the filing of the agreements of coaches and managers is not mandatory. The St. Louis Blues will commence legal action Feb. 17 against the Detroit Red Wings and coach Jacques Demers for Detroit's signing of Demers last summer, claiming Demers was still under contract to the Blues. “There is a bigger and more important issue presented by these facts,” Ziegler said, adding that Quinn “honestly believes that thi: conflict will not handicap him in faithfully performing his duties to the Los Angeles Kings. “However, there is a much greater responsibility that must be r ized in these cir Competitive sports, and in particular professional sports, have the highest obligation of trust to each and every one ofits patrons to assure the absolute integrity of competition.” KINGS TOLD The Canuck statement said the arrangement with Quinn was concluded Dec. 24 and “made known to the The Vancouver contract would not interfere with : Quinn's obligations to Los Angeles for the remainder-of the season, the Canucks said. Los Angeles is in fourth place in the Smythe Divison, 12 points ahead of the last-place Canucks. Vancouver has .not lost to the Kings this season, winning three times and tying once. Earlier Friday the Canucks — in particular Jack Gordon, director of hockey operations and team general manager, and Arthur Griffiths, assistant to the chairman of the board — refused to comment on a speculative story aired Thursday night by Vancouver tadio station CFUN that Quinn would join the Canucks next season. However, team spokesman Glenn Ringdal, vice- presidnet of communications, later confirmed that the signing of Quinn as president and general manager would “affect the positions” of-both Griffiths and Gordon. «. Griffiths is the youngest son of Frank A. Griffiths, chairman of Vancouver Hockey Club Ltd., a division of Northwest Sports Enterprises Ltd. LAWYER OPTIMISTIC Canuck lawyer Alexander Farae, listed in the team media guide as secretary of the board of governors of Northwest Sports, was optimistic that Ziegler will “feel differently about the matter” when he has all the facts presented to him. Quinn met Friday night in Los Angeles with Kings’ owner Jerry Buss to discuss the situation. General manager Rogie Vachon said the Kings were not obliged to comment because the matter is under investigation. Assistant coach Mike Murphy will be in charge of the Kings tonight when they play at home against the Buffalo Sabres. “As far as Fm concerned there's no further comment to be made,” said Quinn. “I have a contract. with the Kings, one I intend to fulfill completely.” Quinn, 43, was named the NHL's coach of the year for the 1980 season when he guided the Philadelphia Flyers to the Stanley Cup final, including a record 35 consecutive league games without a loss. He was fired by the Flyers in March 1982 and attended law school until hired by the Kings in the summer of 1984. Los Angeles captured a Smythe Division playoff berth in the spring of 1985, but missed post-season play last season. SUCCEEDED NEALE Gordon, 58, has been director of hockey operations and general manager of the Canucks since June 1985 when he succeeded the fired Harry Neale. Gordon, a Canuck front office assistant for several years, was not the team’s first choice. Dave King, coach of the Canadian Olympic team based in Calgary, agreed to join the Canucks in May 1985, but tater declined the position and Griffiths eventually settled on Gordon. Gordon said the expulsion of Quinn was “unbeliev- able, really, because I don't remember that happening before.” ’ Sandlak, Tanti. ie things up EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jan Ludvig scored early in the third period for his second game-tying goal in as many games as New Jersey posted a 22 NHL tie with Vancouver, extending the Devils’ winless streak to 10 games. ~ Mark Johnson also tallied for the Devils, who rebounded from a 2-0 deficent. Jim Sandlak and Tony Tanti staked the Canucks to their early lead, both finishing off plays engineered by defenceman Doug Lidster. Ludvig, who had gone more than a month without a goal, tied the game at 5:38 of the third period.

In action today Sandman Inn takes on Mallards and Castlegar Knights face off against Woodland Park Shell. By CasNews Staff and News Services Castlegar's Felix Belezyk, who was the top Canadian in training runs earlier this week with fifth and 12th place showings, came in 23rd in a men's World Cup downhill race in West Germany Saturday with a time of 1:52:84. Pirmin Zurbriggen of Switzerland, mastering different conditions on the course, won his third downhill race this season and took the lead in overall men's World Cup standings. It was the fifth downhill victory and the 15th World Cup triumph for the versatile 23-year-old Swiss ace, who also has six combination wins i hisn his career. He made a small mistake near the finish line, but clocked one minute 50.33 seconds for the fastest run ever down the 3,320-metre-long Kandahar course. The previous standard — 1:50.52 — was set by Seve Podborski of Toronto in 1982. Rob Boyd and Todd Brooker, mem- bers of the Canada’s rebuilding pro- gram, picked up World Cup points when they placed sixth and seventh, respectively, Saturday on a layout that changed considerably for the starting field of 84, from ice at the top through a trail fresh-covered with snow at the bottom. Italian Michael Mair, who had the best time after the top seeds had gone through the finish line, placed second in 1:50.59, his second runner-up finish in six downhills this season. MUELLER CLOSE Swiss veteran Peter Mueller took third place in 1:50.83, while Markus Wasmeier of West Germany finished fourth in 1:51.82. Under the complicated World Cup scoring system, where the best fou results count toward the overall standings, Zurbriggen picked up 15 points for his victory to overtake Richard Pramotton of Italy. Zurbriggen now has 127 points, while Pramotton, who did not take part in the downhill, dropped to second place with 112 points. Wasmeier, who earned six points Saturday, retained his third place overall with 110 points. Daniel Mahrer of Switzerland was fifth in 1:51.84 followed by Boyd, of Whistler, in 1:51.94 and Brooker, of Paris, Ont., in 1:52.13. Other Canadian placings: 33. Robbie Bosiner, Banff, Alta. 1:53.41; 37. Michael Carney, Squamish, Donald Stevens, Rossland, Ralph Soche, Fernie, 23; q Daniel Moar, Vancouver, 1:55.49, and 68. Chris Mclvor, Rossland, 1:55.54. Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont., was the lone Canadian to fall and had to be carried from the course on a stretcher. Early reports, howeve,r indicate Stem- mle suffered only minor injuries to his knees. Defending downhill champion Peter Wirnsberger of Austria was ninth while defending World Cup overall champion, Marc Girardelli of Luxem- bourg, was 10th despite a nagging shoulder injury which has hampered his season. Boyd, 20, has been labelled Canada's most promising downhiller since the heyday of the Crazy Canucks while the performance by Brooker, 27, was his best Cup effort in almost two years. Boyd was an upset winner last month at a World Cup Wow ohill in Val Gardena, Italy.
