Auto Industry Foresees Good Sales Year

GM chairman Thomas A. Murphy raised the forecast, noting a resilient recovery from a two year slump. AMC and Chrysler reported improved results in early 1976, offsetting prior losses. Labor negotiations open in mid July with UAW seeking improved benefits and health premium arrangements.
