NEW YORK (IP) - The mas-
sive New York teachers' strike
0 was settled on a tentative basis
for the second time in a week
yesterday and 1.1 million public
school chlidren were alerted for
a return to regular classess pos-
sibly by tomorrow.
"It's a fantastically good .pack-
age," said strike leader Albert
Shanker of an accord involving

DETROIT (1P)-Walter P. Reu-
ther suggested yesterday that Hen-
ry Ford II should join contract
negotiations between Reuther's
United Auto Workers Union and
Ford's strike-bound automobile-
building empire.
Malcolm L. Denise Ford vice
president for labor relations, said
there was no reason he could see
for Ford joining negotiations and
told newsmen "I'd be very sur-
prised if he did."
The UAW struck Ford in an at-
tempt to win a new contract it
hopes to use for pattern for settle-
ments later at Chrysler and Gen-
eral Motors.
21 Days
The strike began Sept. 7 and
enters its 21st day today.
Reuther and Denise differed on
whether a visit by Ford was sug-
gested in a two-hour bargaining
session yesterday.
Denise told a news conference
that "the invitation was not ex-
tended in the bargaining room,"
but added he understood "one was
extended out here" in an earlier
news conference by Reuther.
No Progress
The strike erupted over econ-
kk omic issues and both Denise and
Reuther agreed no progress was
made on them in yesterday's bar-
gaining. Reuther said he would
be back at the head of the UAW
team tomorrow. He said prior com-
mitments preclude his attendance
today.
While Reuther went to Ford,
UAW and company teams met at
the national bargaining table at
Chrysler yesterday for the first
time since Ford was struck. There
was no report of progress from
that meeting either.
General Motors and the UAW

ers' wages over a 26-month
period.
The walkout of Shanker's 49,-
000-member United Federation of
Teachers, AFL-CIO, has all but
paralyzed normal operations in
the city's 900 public schools for
12 class days - since the sched-
uled Sept. 11 opening of the new
fall, term.
Once again, Mayor John V.
Lindsay, his patience reportedly
near an end, played a key role
in bringing the UFT and the
Board of Education together. He
had announced a tentative set-
tlement Sept. 20 and the schools
were 'scheduled to reopen Mon-
day.
Agreement Fails
However, the accord fell apart
in a bitter argument over the
reduction of its terms to writing,
leading Lindsay to sharply ac-
cuse the union and the board of
"haggling."
In the face of the mayor's ob-
viously displeasure, negotiators
were summoned to City Hall
Monday evening and held in ses-
sion for eight hours. After a res-
pite, the talks resumed yesterday
morning.
At 3:36 p.m., Lindsay strode
into a packed City Hall chamber
to announce once more a seem-
ing end to the longest, costliest
strike in the history of the na-
tion's largest school system.
Summit to Board
In a joint announcement,
school Supt. Bernard Donovan
and Shanker said the formal
agreement wouldbe submitted as
quickly as possible to the Board
of Education and the union.
The statement added: "It is
hoped that this can be accom-
plished so that the teachers can
return to the - schools as early
as possible tomorrow, following
the ratification meeting."
The tentative agreement on
wages replaced a former teach-
ers' scale of $5,400 to $11,950 a
year, with a new salary range of
$6,750 to $13,750.
Few Classes
At the outset of the strike, as
many as 600,000 pupils reported
for classes that seldom were held.
Most of them were sent back
home. With more than 40,000
teachers away from their class-
rooms, few children received any
formal instruction.
By Monday, attendance had
dropped to about 130,000 stu-
dents - only 12 per cent of the
total enrollment. It reportedly
rose to about 147,000 yesterday.
Shanker and his top UFT aides
ignored a no-strike order from
the State Supreme Court in lead-
ing the teachers out. Later, they
brushed off a subsequent back-
to-work mandate from the court.

UNITED AUTO WORKERS PRESIDENT Walter P. Reuther suggested yesterday that Henry Ford II
join personally the contract negotiations between Ford Motor Company and the striking UAW.
Ford's chief-negotiator Malcolm Denise said he "doubted" that Ford would involve himself. The
strike, which began Sept. 7, is now in its 21st day. (See story on page.)

man in the Soviet Union, lost his

was announced by the party.
The announcement, after a party
