Wintry Weather Blamed In U.S. Auto DETROIT (AP) Wintry weather has received much of the blame in the latest sales slump and production lag re- ported by the U.S. auto indus- try. Industry executives Monday reported a 20.6-per-cent drop in sales for the first 10 days this month and said snowstorms and zero or below-zero temperatures that hit large areas of the United States were a major cause. While fierce weather appar- ently kept some buyers away Sales Slump tory. One firm, American Mo- tors Corp., closed its plants Monday for two weeks to bring its production in balance with sales and inventory. All the major carmakers, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors, reported drops in sales for the first 10 days of the month as compared to the same February period last year.
