had accepted Turkey's basic de-
mands in the Cyprus crisis. He
added that only differences over
application of the agreement

New Turkey party, said the
Greeks had agreed to the key

p"]ots killed Nov. 15 in fighting
with Greek Cypriot forces at two
villages, Aksu added. This battlej
brought on the latest crisis.
Aksu said the Greeks had with-
drawn Gen George Grivas from
Cyprus. The Turks blamed Gri-
vas, a Greek who commands the
Cypriot armed forces, for the at-
tack on the villages and de-I
manded his ouster. He has beenl
in Athens since shortly after the
crisis erupted.
The latest Greek proposals were
brought to Ankara from Athens,1
by President Johnson's personal
envoy, Cyrus R. Vance.
He prepared to ieturn to Atnens
carrying Turkish answers to the
latest Greek proposals.
Remaining Grievances
Informed officials say the dis-
agreements which remain are a
matter of face-saving and tim-
ing. Though the substance of thei
negotiations are being kept secet,
they are believed to be:
-Which nation wizi make the
first move.
-How much tine will be al-
lowed Gi eece to withdraw its
troops from Cyprus.
Turkey has insisted all along
that Greece make the first move.
One unconfirmed report was that
Greece had offered to withdraw
troops in three months.

DETROIT (P') - The United
Auto Workers, with Ford and1
Chrysler new contracts all wrap-1
ped up, moved on to General Mo-J
tors yesterday with indications'
that automation and use of com-
puters would be major problems.
UAW officials distributed a 24-
page release in which they ac-
cused GM of trying to remove
some auto jobs from UAW cate-
gory by putting them into com-
puterized fields with white collar,
nonunion workers.
Bargaining
Setting the battle line for
some anticipated hardnosed bar-
gaining, the UAW told GM:
"The union never has com-]
plained of automation. In fact, iti
has staunchly defended automa-f
tion, often in spite of member-t
ship disbelief that automation isl
good for the economy and the
total community.4
"The union cannot continue to
defend it if it coupled with con-
tinuous displacement and erosion
of the union with the new method
arbitrarily assigned to salary."
GM vice president of labor re-
lations Louis G. Seaton had told
newsmen earlier yesterday as he
emerged from a preliminary meet-
ing with the UAW that he was
optimistic.
Hard Work
GM's spokesman added that
with "hard work and a realistic
attitude by both parties these ne-
gotiations+ can reach a successfull
conclusion."
Seaton said he expected it
would take until early next year
to resolve all local issues at GM's
plants. Currently, some 18,000
such unsolved issues remain from
an original agenda of 31,000, he
reported.
GM's No. 1 labor troubleshooter

also disclosed that the nation's
biggest auto firm had submitted
to the UAW earlier this month
proposed language of pensions,
insurance and supplemental un-
employment benefits which he
said were similar to the language
in she Ford and Chrysler con-
tracts.
World News
Roundup
NEW YORK - The Columbia
Broadcasting System reported yes-
terdaw that Charles F. Frankel,

educational and cultural affairs,

President Johnson's Vietnam poli-
cies.
The 50 - year - old philosopher
and author has headed the State
Department's Bureau of Educa-
tional and Cultural Affairs for
two 'years and three months.

ences with President Johnson and
Secretary of State Dean Rusk on
U.S. policy in Vietnam.

LISBON, Portugal-- The death
toll that struck west-central Por-
tugal has risen to 316, the Interior
Ministry announced last night.

PENANG, Malaysia (P--Police
made mass arrests yesterday in an
effort to break up leftists and
gangster-type Chinese secret so-
cieties accused of triggering three
days of racial riots in Malaysia.
Curfews were imposed in Penang
and the capital, Kuala Lumpur,
180 miles south of here, after riot-
ing between Malays and Chinese
beginning Friday took 11 lives and
left nearly 200 injured, 93 seri-
ously.
Many Arrested
The government reported 419
persons, including about 300 Chi-
nese, have been arrested through-
out Malaysia under the Internal
Security Act, which provides for
indefinite imprisonment without
trial. Another 270 were detained
as curfew violators.
In Penang and the neighboring
mainland port of Butterworth, po-
lice arrested 295 persons, including
191 Chinese and 78 Malays.
In Kuala Lumpur, where police
credited the mass arrests with pre-

venting a general strike, 106 per-
sons, including 99 Chinese, were
detained. Eighteen persons were
arrested elsewhere in Malaysia.
Tun Abdul Razak, deputy prime
minister, told a news conference
in Kuala Lumpur that 22 homes,
two shops and a factory had been
burned in the riots in Penang and
Butterworth over the weekend.
He proclaimed the security situ-
ation "well under control" in Pe-
nang and Kuala Lumpur.
Attacks Labor Party
Razak devoted most of his news
conference to an attack on the
left-wing Labor party, whose top
leaders have been arrested, ac-
cusing them of instigating the ra-
cial riots.
He said numerous subversive
documents, including books con-
taining thoughts and speeches of
Red China's party Chairman Mao
Tse-tung had been found in party
offices in Kuala Lumpur and Pe-
nang.
He said one poster urged that
Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rah-
man be hanged.
In Penang, police said their ar-
rests included 84 members of the
Chinese secret societies.
Confiscate Weapons
Police confiscated an arsenal of
weapons, including spears, long
sword-like knives known as par-
angs, slingshots with metal ball
bearing missiles and steel hooks
from members' homes. These types
of weapons were used during the
riots.
Razak said similar weapons also
were found in the leftist Labor
party offices in Kuala Lumpur.
Thousands of steel-helmeted
riot police and soldiers armed with
rifles patrolled the streets of Kuala
Lumpur, some in armored person-
nel carriers. But as a general strike
called by leftists fizzled out, most
of the' security units were with-
drawn to outlying areas.

earlier for refusing to make public
