Deceptive Auto Sales Practices Stopped
A suit alleging unfair and
deceptive sales practices by
employees of a Raleigh auto
mobile dealership was termin
ated by Attorney General Ro
bert Morgan this month when
the defendant agreed to
comply with the terms of the
suit.
Defendants in the case
were Wiygul-Sanders Ford,
Inc., the corporation's gene
ral manager, its new car and
used car sales managers, two
finance managers and four
salesmen.
The complaint, filed by
Don Davis, staff attorney in
the Attorney General's Con
sumer Protection Division, al
leged thee deceptive trade
practices involving car sale
techniques and financing.
The complaint alleged
that contract forms referred
to as "One Shot Contracts"
were said to be represented as

Psychotherapy Aids Vietnam Vets
Seattle, Washington,
(CPS) The Washington
state chapter of the Vietnam
Veterans Againt the War
(VVAW) has begun a program
to deal with the psychological
problems of returning and
returned veterans because of
a predominant feeling among
many Vietnam veterans that
the "Veterans Administration
(VA) cannot be trusted."
Many Vietnam veterans
are turning away from the VA,
the government-sponsored
agency which was established
to alleviate their problems.
There are at present
316,514 Vietnam veterans
receiving disability pensions
from the VA, less than one
quarter of the total 2,185,000
eligible for VA pensions.
The VVAW program
proposes the establishment of
an agency, comprised of
veterans, which deals with the
mitting the prospective buyer
to purchase. The suit, howev
er, alleged that these "One
Shot Contracts" were later
"used by the defendants for
the purpose of coercing pro
spective customers to pur
chase vehicles" and, further,
that the defendants implied
that the contracts, once sign
ed, had "created a legally
binding obligation upon the
customer to accept the vehi
cle."
Safeguards against these
alleged deceptive practices
are:
1. Never sign a contract un
til it has been read and under
stood. If a condition of the
contract is not clear, ask the
salesman or finance manager
for an explanation.
2. If a salesman is pressuring
you, protest. Tell him you
will not be forced into a has
ty decision.
3. Do not be coerced into as-

"post-Vietnam syndrome"
and which uses relatively new
psycho-therapy known as
"human social functioning."
Ken Perry, one of the
prime motivators of the
Washington program, said the
easiest way to describe the
post-Vietnam syndrome is as
a flashback reaction, like the
one depicted in Slaughter
house Five. Perry, who has
treated 12 Vietnam veterans
in the past year, said one
common symptom was that
they each had, in some way.
"become unstuck in time."
Paul Richards, VVAW
coordinator of the project,
said the psychological
problems created by the Viet
nam war have all been ig
nored by the VA He main

5. When making plans to buy

Perry. a former
Washington state social
worker, has been using the
human social functioning
method for about five years,
and claims that it is the only
method of self-analysis that is
"worth a damn." The method
consists primarily of an initial
test, then a series of taped
interviews which enable the
patient to criticize his own
thought processes.
Perry described one of
the veterans he treated. The
man was a schizophrenic who
President Deals Blow
To Recycling
Despite the warnings of a
key report which says that
federal involvement is abso
lutely necessary if the U.S. is
to solve its burgeoning solid
waste problems, the Nixon
Administration has dealt a
serious setback to the na
tion's recycling efforts.
The Administration's fis
cal 1974 budget cuts approxi
mately $24 million out of a
request for at least $3O million
for the Environmental Protec
tion Agency's Office of Solid
Waste Management Programs.
Included in the cuts were most
of the contents of a proposed
legislative package of sudsidies
designed to enhance the na
tions markets for recycled
materials.
In explaining the drastic
cuts, William D. Ruckelshaus,
EPA head, said that the deci
sion reflected a "reorienta
tion" of the nation's solid
waste program. The Adminis-

had spent two years as a war
photographer for the U.S. Ar
my.
"For two years this guy
turned his back to the enemy
and photographed his buddies
getting blown apart," Perry
said. "At the end of that time
he turned his film over to his
superiors, and they asked him
where the pictures of the
dead enemy were, and burned
his film. What do you think
that did to him?"
Perry treated the vet for
six months using the human
social functioning method, but
instead of tape recorders he
used video equipment.
"When he came to me.
Perry said, "he was a wreck.
Six months later he was
talking about where he was
at, not where the government
or the world was at, and that's
the point.
tration has concluded that
solid waste management is
largely a state and local res
ponsibility, he said. Several
observers noted that the poli
cy was not in line with pre
vious Ruckelshaus statements
on the federal role in waste
policy.
The Nixon cuts ignored
the recommendations of an
ambitious draft EPA report
which dealt with ways to
solve the country's rapidly
growing solid waste problems.
The report never emerged
from the President's Office
of Management and Budget.
