1962 Model Cars Will Have
Safety BeH Attachments
DETROIT UP — The auto in
dustry is going to make it easier
for you to put seat belts in your
car.
Starting with the 1962 models,
all the major domestic manufac
turers will install safety belt at
tachments in the front seats of
all passenger autos. The anchors
will be affixed to the auto frame
or sub frame.
The companies said that they
will provide uniform attachments
built to industry-wide specifica
tions to provide buyers with an
easy, economical method of at
taching seat belts. Previous cost
have run as high as $20 per belt
because of the drilling and other
labor costs. Now the buyer will
have to pay additionally only for
the belt. Belts alone cost as little
as $3.50.
Government Files Action
To Tie Up Johannson’s
Share of March 15 Match
WASHINGTON, UP —The gov
ernment Tuesday filed twin court
actions to tie up boxer Ingemar
Johansson’s share of the purse in
his March 15 rematch with world
heavyweight champion Floyd
Patterson.
The actions were based on In
ternal Revenue Service claims
that the Swedish fighter owes the
American government $598,181.92
in tax on income received in this
country last year.
The suits, filed at Miami and
in New York City, also served to
disclose that Johansson has never
filed an income tax return for the
year 1959 when he took the title
from Patterson.
