In the first ten days of this month, the Lincoln-Mercury Division sold only 5,650 cars, as against 14,058 last year. Though they, too, face possible strikes, the other automakers are cheering the best "debut time" in new car history.

So far, the place has attracted only two plants and 1,200 inhabitants; lack of sales halted home building two years ago at the 12,000-acre site 25 miles northeast of Sac ramento, Calif.
