WONDERFUL WORLD OF WHEELS (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). A car buff's special revs up with a gallery of antiques, roars into futuristic creations and scenes from some history-making races...
...scattered spots throughout the U.S.-as they had nearly every other week this summer: ¶Roving bands of Negro youths roamed through the Negro section of Dayton-looting, stoning buses and breaking store windows-after a Negro man was fatally wounded by shotgun blasts fired from a passing car containing three white men. Some 1,000 National Guardsmen and several hundred city policemen and sheriff's deputies sealed off the west-side area, which contains about 15,000 of Dayton's 70,000 Negroes, and arrested more than 100 rioters before order was restored. More than 20 persons...
...Communist frontiers. Last week two Hungarians escaped to Austria by flying their tiny sports plane at treetop level all the way from Budapest. A pair of Rumanians recently hid for three days under a truckload of tomatoes bound for Austria. Another rode into Vienna in a refrigerated railway car, where he spent seven days and nights huddled between two sides of beef, nibbling raw meat for nourishment.

There were plenty of reasons for frustration about the '66 model year. For one thing, the war in Viet Nam removed thousands of young men and potential customers from the new car market.

Because auto men's ears are still stinging from the safety hearings, it will be the year in which safety gets equal billing with styling and performance. Dual brakes will be standard equipment on the '67s. So will "anchorages" -to which car owners can attach shoulder harnesses, which are supposed to be more effective than current seat belts (when the harnesses themselves will become standard is still uncertain). G.M., Chrysler and A.M.C. will introduce steering columns that collapse, accordion-fashion, under impact, thereby lessening the danger of chest and abdominal injuries to drivers. Ford has a somewhat similar...
