The UAW leader said Dec. 14 has been set as a "target date" for reaching a new national labor contract with GM, the nation's No. 1 automaker. Strike Deadline If no settlement is reached by that date, Reuther said, the union will then set a "strike deadline" for sometime after the Christmas and New Year holidays. UAW strategy is aimed at ob- taining an agreement on national issues by mid-December, thus freeing top union and company negotiators to concentrate on set- tlement of local disputes early next year. If there is no national agree- ment by Dec. 14, then the 300- member UAW-GM Council would be summoned to another meeting to set a strike deadline after the holidays.

Their 'account was that the: emissary was on his way to a meeting with U.S. Embassy offi-. cials in Saigon. The embassy denied this. A member of South Vietnam's! "high-ranking member of the National Liberation Front to meet with the Americans without in- viting the GVN." The paper said the U.S. gov- ernment intervened to have the NLF emissary released after he had been arrested by Loan's men, and that Loan refused the release and tendered his resignation, One of the original sources for the reports, a person who is with- in the Vietnamese police, said that shortly after the Viet Cong repre- sentative was arrested he told his South Vietnamese interrogators in effect that he was on an im- portant mission to the Americans and could not be arrested.

Carmichael To End TouReturn to U.S. E i I i i a contact with the National Liber- ation Front without telling the Saigon government. He said the arrest of the Viet Cong and U.S. Embassy pressure on the national police director to release the man, had led the dir- ector, Brig. Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan, to offer his resignation last week. Mission Unknown There was no direct informationj whether the emissary might have been on a peace mission or in- tended to discuss other matters - possibly a prisoner exchange or cease-fire periods at Christmas and New Year's. If a genuine approach to the embassy was intended, it was the first such that has become known. The Associated Press f i r s "t learned Thursday of various ac- counts of the supposed approach to the American mission. It sought to check them out with the U.S. Embassy before it sent any dis- patches on it. Barry Zorthian, minister-counselor for informa- tion, responded that the embassy U.S. Steel Increases Prices Due to Decline in Earn'ing -Associated Press UAW PRESIDENT WALTER REUTHER, announced yesterday . that a final strike deadline at General Motors would be post- poned until after the holidys.

CYPRUS CRISIS: Las-iueDelay Sn lags Peace als UNITED NATIONS (MP) - UN Secretary-General U Thant held urgent conversations yesterday with representatives of the United States, Greece, Turkey and Cy- prus on a', last-minute snag in a planned peace appeal to end the menacing crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean. U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg conferred, with Thant for more than an hour yesterday morning: The secretary - general then called in Ambassadors Or- han Eralp of Turkey, Dimitri S. Bitsios of Greece and Zenon Ros- sides of Cyprus for separate talks. All three representatives of the countries directly involved belit- tled the difficulty. Goldberg gave newsmen a terse "no comment" after his meeting with the secretary-general. The appeal being worked out by Thant was viewed as a face- saving device for announcing the agreement Vance had worked out in an exhausting series of con- ferences inhAnkara, Athens and Nicosia. The appeal would cover all points of the agreement, and, under the plan, it would be promptly accepted by the three governments. Although the terms of the agreement have not been officially disclosed, it is understood to call for withdrawal of Greek and Turkish troops above the levels prescribed by the 1960 independ- ence agreement on Cyprus-950 Greek soldiers and 650 from Turkey. Greek troops on the island now are said to number between 8,000 and 12,000 and the Turkish forces are estimated at 1,200 men. GM Final Target General Motors is the last of the automotive Big Three to ne- gotiate a new three-year contract with the UAW. The industry pat- tern for an economic settlement was set in an agreement reached with the Ford Motor Co. After a 50-day strike. The Chrysler Corp. later set- tled along the same lines, with an additional provision aimed at satisfying the union's demand for parity of wages between workers in the United States and Canada. AFL-CIO Rift Reuther coupled his announce- ment of the union's GM bargain- ing strategy with the disclosure that he had sent a letter to George Meany, AFL-CIO presi- dent, expressing regret that UAW officers would be unable to at- tend a convention of the parent labor organization in Miami next week. Reuther, .who has criticized Meany's leadership and policies, said key UAW officials would be tied up in the auto negotiations. The Ford strike, plus lengthy Chrysler negotiations, threw the UAW's timetable off schedule, Reuther said. After 40,000 miles or more, 13 countries and innumerable speech- es to Communist audiences,-Black Power advocate Stokely Car- michael announced his odyssey would end with his return to hell. "I shall return to hell-that is, the United States," said Carmi- chael, according to a Swedish translation of his remarks to the press in Stockholm, the last stop of his five months of travel. The Stockholm remarks could be considered mild, compared with what Carmichael had to say else- where to audiences of Communists who lionized him. To them he was more than just a Black Power ad- vocate. He made himself champion of guerrilla war in the United States. Advocates Violence Carmichael's journey began in July, his first stop England. The Daily Sketch, calling for expulsion of the 26-ytar-old visitor, quoted him as telling a British audience: "It is time to let the whites know we are going to take over; if they don't like it, we will stamp them out, using violence and other means necessary." Carmichael left England for Cuba and a conference of Latin- American Communists weighing prospects for hemisphere-wide re- volution. The Communists included the United States in calls for "liberation struggle." Presented by Havana to a news conference, Carmichael announced the Black Power movement was directly linked with "liberation struggles" everywhere." "Armed struggle," he said, "is today the only means of struggle by the North American Negro. Our movement is progressing toward an urban guerrilla war within the United States itself." Negroes' problems, he said, could not be solved "within a capitalist society," and there should be "a struggle for total revolution." For this, Havana radio hailed him as "the greatest North American Negro leader." -E War Crimes Tribunal Carmichael said yesterday in Stockholm that he agrees with Lord Bertrand Russell's so-called war crimes tribunal, which -has found the United States guilty of geno- cide in Vietnam. Carmichael commented in Swe- den: "After reading all the evi- dence and after my visit to North Vietnam, I would have voted 'yes' on all counts." The tribunal maintained the United States has committed num- erous war crimes in Vietnam, in- cluding massacres of villagers and torture of prisoners through elec- tricity, burns, drowning and whip- ping. It contended American sol- diers usually supervised the torture while South Vietnamese soldiers carried it out. had no none. After cluding lature Saigon bureau day.

U.S. Steel said it will raise prices on cold rolled carbon steel sheets and high-strength, low-alloy steel Ey Pt Downs Israeli Planes BEIRUT, Lebanon (MP - Cairo claimed Egyptian anti - aircraft guns shot down three of four Israeli jets that violated Egyptian airspace yesterday at the south- ern end of the Suez Canal. An Israeli spokesman said only one plane was downed. It had been on a routine patrol. An Egyptian broadcast com- munique said three Israeli planes hit by Egyptian fire fell in Israeli held territory east of the canal and the Gulf of Suez. It said all three pilots bailed out and one landed in the gulf. It was the first clash reported along the canal since the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution for peace in the Mid- dle East last week. In Jerusalem, Prime Minister. Levi Eshkol repeated Israeli as- sertions that direct negotiations with Arab states were the only acceptable basis for a Middle East peace. He said Israel was pre- pared, meanwhile, to hold on to Arab territories it occupied in the war last June. steets 3.4 per cent, effective Dec. 15. Industry observers have' been speculating on a major price in- crease since October when steel producers turned in dismal nine- months earnings reports. No reason for the increase was given. U.S. Steel said the type of sheets on which is. hiked prices acount for 17.5 per cent of ship- ments of all steel companies. Bethlehem Steel Corp., the sec- ond biggest producer, said it was studying the U.S. Steel move, and declined further comment. Repub- lic Steel Corp. also declined imme- diate comment. General Motors and Ford Motor Co. said they would have to study the hike further to determine if it will affect auto prices. Chrsyler and American Motor s also were studying the move, and General Electric said tht same thing. But if past patterns hold, they can be expected to support the price boost with similar increases after assessing the reaction of gov- ernment and customers. Price increases earlier this year drew only slight opposition from Washington. But a government spokesman warned after an in- crease in steel plate prices, "The, administration won't be keeping its cool if sheet and strip steel go up, too." bassy issued a statement saying: "Allegations about planned or actual meetings between high of- ficials of the U.S. Embassy and representatives of the VC-NFL as reported by The Associated Press are false.
