THURSDAY; AUGUST 31,'1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE tl UAW Auto Union Toet Target For Strike Today Labor Negotiators Reject Proposals As 'Entirely Inadequate' DETROIT (A) - Its negotiators having unanimously recommend- ed rejection of new contract of- fers from the Big Three auto- makers, the United Auto Workers Union turned to selection of a strike target yesterday. The target will be named by the UAW's 26-member international executive board today. Only seven days will then remain before cur- rent three-year pacts at all three expire. The union's negotiators termed practically identical offers from General Motors, Ford and Chrys- ler "entirely inadequate and in- equitable when measured against the fantastic profitibility of the automotive industry." In making offers Tuesday, the companies said they constituted "the highest wage increase ever offered" the union. A GM spokes- man estimated the minimum pro- posed increase in a typical work- er's pay would be $1,700 over the three-year period. Formal rejection is anticipated today from union councils rep- resenting GM, Ford and Chrysler plants across the country and then by the international execu- tive board. A target then will be named by the board. Traditionally the union negoti- ates a contract at one company and thenusesthat agreement as a pattern for settlement =with the other two. If one is struck, the other two are allowed to operate. odds have shifted In recent days to General Motors being the target. A reason for the shift to GM In target speculation is that by taking on the more .formidable opponent and winning, Reuther could enhance his standing in the American labor movement. He has been embroiled in a run- ning and thus far losing battle with AFL-CIO President George Meany., The UAW turned down Tuesday a proposal by financially trou- bled American Motors Corp., smallest of the U.S. automakers, to continue their present agree- ment two years. UAW Vice Presi- dent Pat Greathouse said the un- ion "will take another look" after it settles with the Big Three. Meanwhile in Flint yesterday pickets from the International So- ciety of Skilled Tradesa(ISST) scuffled with workers at three General Motors Corp. plants in a dispute over union recognition. At least three men were treated for facial cuts and bruises at a Flint hospital and released. ISST officials said the pickets were protesting the National La- bor Relations Board's recent re- fusal to grant a representation election. Rejects 1Mig Senate Votes Confirmatio"n American Observers To Begin Inspection of Vietnam Election Offer - .- Of Marshall 11 Base Opposition On Political Grounds, Say Race 'No Issue WASHINGTON () - Thurgood Marshall, the first Negro nomi- nated to the Supreme Court, won solid Senate confirmation yester- day, 77 days after President John- son named him to the high tri- bunal. The vote was 69 to 11 with all of the oppo, ents being from the deep south except Sen. Robert C. Byrd (W-W Va). All 11 are Demo- crats except Republican Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. After the vote, Marshall de- clared "I am greatly honored." S A I G O N (A) - Twenty-two Americans named by President Johnson to observe South Viet- nam's national election are to be- gin looking over the country to- day with armed .escorts guarding against terrorist hazards. "Part of the plan is to see as much as possible," said roving Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, former envoy to Saigon, on his arrival with -the group as guide and adviser yesterday. However, George D. Aiken, dean of Senate Republicans, says the poll-watching mission of 22 prominent Americans in South Vietnam "can't amount to a damn.' Furthermore, the 75-year-old Vermonter said in an interview yesterday the South Vietnamese had good reason to be humiliated by the arrival of the White House task force, sent by President Johnson to observe the Sept. 3 presidential elections. Former Premier Tran Van Huong, a leading civilian candi- date for the South Vietnamese presidency, said Tuesday that the observer group is causing the Viet- namese people "grieve and hu- miliation." The observers-both supporters and critics of U.S. policy in Viet- nam-include senators, governors, mayors, religious leaders, labor, business and news executives. The Americans are joining 60 THURGOOD MARSHALL became the first Negro Supreme Court Justice yesterday when the Sen- ate confirmed his appointment by an overwhel ming majority. Marshall succeeds Justice Tom C. Clark, who resigned at the end of the last term to avoid any conflict of interest because of the appointment of his son, Ramsey, as attorney general. Opposition to Marshall's appointment came primarily from southern Senators who disliked his "ultra liberal" and "individual activist" attitudes. They claimed that his appointment created a built-in majority in the Supreme Court that would undermine the constitutional roots of the coun try. The opposing Senators said that Marshall's race was not a deciding factor in their vtes. Nasser Assistant, 150 Oficers Believed Jailed During Purge E t KHARTOUM, Sudan ()-Trav- elers from Cairo said yesterday there were reports President Ga- mal Abdel Nasser had staged a lightning purge and Marshal Ab- del Hakim Amer, his former right- hand man, was arrested. They said as many as 150 other Egyp- tian officers were believed de- tained. Nasser arrived here Tuesday for the Arab summit meeting and ac- cording to these accounts he may have acted to prevent a possible rebellion while he was out of the country. Similar reports of a Nasser crackdown came from other Arab capitals, leading one Western dip- lomat to observe: "All our reports are second hand. But they have spread so wide and so fast that we are inclined to believe something is going on in Cairo." Officials said they are not in the position to confirm or to deny the reports, which circulated in various forms in a number of Arab capitals. Amer resigned as supreme armed forces commander and first vice president after the defeat in the war with Israel in Junerat a time when a large number cf Egyptian generals and others were dropped.

At least one report of an at- tempted coup came from Algeris last June. This was just before Nasser offered to resign and his resignation was rejected. Egypt's leadership has been re- ported badly split between ex- treme leftists, moderate leftists, and those who say Egypt must improve relations with the West as its only hope of emerging from economic blight that followed the war., At the summit conference, call- ed to "eliminate the results of Israeli aggression," Nasser was reported to have adopted a tone of moderation, hinting that the time was not ripe for a new mil- itary adventure aaginst Israel. Meanwhile President Tito's sep- cial envoy on his way to Washing- ton to explain to President John- son the Yugoslav leader's plan for ending the Arab-Israeli stalemate. American officials, while appre- ciating Tito's efforts, are doubtful that his plan would be acceptable to either side. The Tito plan is understood to propose that: -Israel evacuate all territories it occupied during the war in June ; -The United Nations peace- keeping force, evicted by Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser be- fore the war broke out, be re- established. -The great powers guarantee Israel's borders and the Arabs give up their contention that they have been at war with Israel since that country was established, without recognizing her, however.

Milliken said he acted because he was told negotiations on teach- er contracts are breaking down in* the Detroit school district. He is acting governor while Gov. George Romney is attending a midwest governors' conference at Missouri. Milliken said Ronald W.

CTK said only then was Hopson permitted to leave as the demonstrators shout- ed anti-British slogans. Yomiuri said that apparently on orders from Chairman Mao Tse- tung's leadership, anti-British demonstrations had been halted since the legation was burned and Premier Chou Enlai reprimanded Red Guards who were responsible. Police had their hands full with Communist mobs in Hong Kong who were reacting to the London incident. In one riot, police shot and killed a man who threw a bomb at them. One mob tried to set a city bus afire, then threw a bomb at po- lice when they intervened. Two other bombs were hurled at police from nearby upper story windows. Police opened fire with pistols, wounding two Chinese. other foreigners from 23 nations as official guests of the Saigon government to watch the close of the campaign and the vote Sun- day for president, vice president and a 60-man Senate. Vietnam Unique U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker told them: "In its journey on the road to constitutional gov- ernment, Vietnam is unique in that it is holding elections while there is conflict within its borders." "The very least we could do is ask the South Vietnamese to come over here and supervise our elec- tions next November," contended Aiken, who has been in the Sen- ate since 1940. Aiken, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, termed the appointment of the observer group a "long shot on the part of the Guerrilla Raid On the military front yesterday a guerrilla raid on Quang Ngai freed 997 prisoners and capped rising Viet Cong pressures against the national election, only four days away, which is to give South Vietnam an elected government. Two guerrilla platoons, perhaps 60 men, virtually had the run of Quang Ngai, a provincial capital 330 miles northeast of Saigon, for more than an hour before dawn. They shelled the U.S. advisory compound, killing one American and wounding 15. They killed four civilans, hammered at Viet- namese troop installations and blasted down the gate of the pro- vincial prison, where Viet Cong suspects made up the bulk of the 1,329 inmates. They induced 977 to head for the hills. It was orig- inally reported 1,200 made the break. But 352 chose to stay be- hind. Military sources said at least 10 of the guerrillas were killed. World News Roundup JACKSON, -Miss. - Mississippi's growing Negro vote left little im- pression yesterday on Democratic runoff results that swept con- servatives into state offices and crushed all 22 Negro candidates in local races. Authough Negro leaders con- ceded the Negro vote was split across the state, civil rights lead- er Charles Evers said he sent a telegram to President Johnson asking him to order new elections in three southwest Mississippi counties with big Negro major- ities. Negro votes helped Rep. John! Bell Williams, outspoken foe of the Lyndon Johnson administra- tin, overwhelm State Treasurer William Winter in the governor's race. With 2,028 of the 2,124 pre- cincts reporting, Williams had 362,269 votes to 304,195 for Win- ter, who tried in vain to shake the liberal label Williams attached to him. * MILWAUKEE - Mayor Henry Maier, reacting to two successive nights of racial tensions raised by Negro open housing marches into the virtually all-white South Side, slapped a 30-day ban yesterday on demonstrations. The step apparently will cut off further marches into the pre- dominantly Polish section of the city. Two nights of marches have re- sulted in 24 injuries and 61 arrests. Maier, who imposed a stiff cur- few on Milwaukee after Negro rioting erupted July 30, avoided a curfew declaring a new state of emergency yesterday. Instead he banned demonstra- tions between 4 p.m. and 9 a.m. on all Milwaukee streets and side- walks. agreed to begin fact-finding pro-1 ceedings in the Detroit dispute. Meanwhile, Wayne County Cir- cuit Judge Charles Farmer yes- terday dismissed a complaint by the Cherry Hill School District seeking to force some200 teach- ers to show up for work whether they have a contract or not. Farmer ruled that contracts! signed by 53 teachers with the.: district are not valid. No Legal Recourse If the teachers failed to report to classrooms for the start of school next Tuesday, Farmer rul- ed, the district has no legal re- course to force them to do so. "Teachers who do not report cannot be construed to be on strike because they are not le- gally employes of the school dis- trict," he said., Farmer added that if the dis- trict wished to hire an entirely new teaching staff, members of the Cherry Hill Education Asso- ciation would have no legal re- course to block the action. Bar- gaining on new contracts are ex- pected to resume as soon as pos- sible. No Major Impact Farmer said he doubted that this ruling would have any major impact on negotiations in other Michigan. school districts because only narrow issues were involved in the Cherry Hill case. The 53 teachers who had signed contracts indicated that they would not honor them without agreement on a master contract covering all the teachers. Contract disputes are still un- settled in 130 other Michiganj school districts, and state teachers' associations have asked U.S. Dis- trict Judge Talbot Smith to bar Michigan courts from issuing strike injunctions. 1 ! . 5 f 3 T; ?
