The strikes came over failure to
settle local-level contracts which
supplement the national labor
agreement reached Sept. 18.
The at-the-plant contracts gen-3
erally cover working 'conditions,
seniority and overtime provisions
and the like.I
The ;walkout by some 25,000
UAW members shut down four as-
sembly plants, two stamping
plants and three parts manufac-
turing plants.
A Ford spokesman said the
strikes at the assembly plants cut
the company's auto production-
about 10,000 per day--by 16 per
cent. Truck production, rated at
1,800 daily, was slashed 34 per
cent.
And, the spokesman said, if theI
strikes continue at the parts plant'
other auto assembly plants would
be affected in time.
Strikes Unnecessary
Malcolm L. Denise, a Ford vice
president and chief negotiator,
said "The strikes called this morn-
ing against plants of Ford Motor
Co. are completely unnecessary.
We have worked diligently with,
the UAW, on both the national!
and local levels, to settle hundreds
of unresolved issues - many of
which should not even be on the
bargaining table.
"In most of these local nego-
tiations which have failed to pro-
duce settlements, the union is
seeking concessions from the com-
pany that would restrict its right
to manage the plants efficiently,"
he said.
Ken Bannon, the UAW Ford de-Y
partment director, said "in every
instance where an unresolved is-'
sue has prevented a settlement,
a settlement on that question has
been reached at another plant,...
This is the greatest disappoint-
ment I have had in my long ex-
perience dealing with Ford."
Formulad
Bannon said, the company1
agreed to a formula for regulat-n
ing overtime at Cleveland this t
morning and refused to agree toy
an identical formula in Chicago.
Both are stamping plants and
both have identical operations, he
said.

WORKERS AT A FORD MOTOR CO. ASSEMBLY PLANT in suburban Wayne left work yesterday
morning after negotiations failed for contract terms on the local level. At least nine of the 11 Ford
plants around the country lacking agreements had been struck at yesterday's 10 a.m. deadline. Other
plants that had settled grievances continued to work.

Georgia was not alone in noting
teacher dissatisfaction.
One Day Holiday
Teachers in two Oklahoma
school districts voted to take a
one-day holiday Monday. About
600 teachers in Midwest City, an
Oklahoma City suburb, voted for
a protest walkout and Tulsa's
2,500 teachers also plan a "pro-
fessional holiday."
Both holidays - spokesmen
said they were not strikes - were
called to express disappointment
over failure in Tuesday's election
of four school proposals, including
one to increase teacher salaries,
The Oklahoma education asso-
ciation called an emergency meet-
ing of its executive committee to
consider the teachers' action.
There were suggestions that a
special legislative session might
be called.
A strike was under way in
Louisville, Ky., protesting 'the re-
jection Tuesday of a referendum
proposal for higher school taxes.
Louisville Walkout
One hundred forty teachers
walked out of the Louisville school
system Thursday. In addition,
1700 students walked out in pro-
test.
The striking teachers have
drawn up a list of demands, in-
cluding a pay boost of $1,500 -
or five times what the tax in-
crease would have given them.
These demands have been en-
dorsed by the Louisville Educa-
tion Association, which represents
about two-thirds of the city's
1,892 teachers. The association
plans a bigger walkout one day
next week to dramatize its de-,
mands.
In Louisiana, teachers are ask-
ing $1,000 a year salary hike. Gov.
John J. McKeithen has offered
$500 now and the balance when
more money is available.
In New Orleans, 562 teachers
favored a walkout.

CARACAS - Venezuela broke
diplomatic relations with Bolivia
last night, saying it does not recog-
nize the military junta that over-
threw the government of President
Victor Paz Estenssoro in midweek.
The Venezuelan foreign minis-
try said Ambassador Edmundo
Gibirin will leave La Paz as soon
as the Bolivian junta grants safe
conduct to the six Bolivians who
sought asylum in the Venezuelan'
embassy.
The junta had no immediate
reply to the Venezuelan action, but
appeared in complete control of
La Paz after the bloody revolt that
toppled one president and eased
out a second within 24 hours.
U.S.-trained Gen. Rene Bar-
rientos, 47, emerged from three
days of shooting as strongman of
the new regime, in this turbulent
nountain land. He took over the
presidency from Army Gen. Alf-
redo Obando Thursday, a day
after they had combined forces to
kick out iron-fisted President
Victor Paz Estenssoro. Paz fled to
exile in Peru.
Calm
Calm returned to La Paz, Coc-
habamba and other main cities
resterday after some 50 persons
vere reported killed and nearly
200 wounded in four days of fight-
.ng. Most of the victims were
nembers of the militia who back-
ed Paz and put up last-ditch re-
istance against the victorious
ebels.
The military junta junked the
constitution that had permitted
?az to succeed himself as presi-
dent, but kept reforms that had
nce made him the idol of Bo-
vote to everyone over 21.
The decrees moreover proclaim-
ed, that the army should stay out
of politics.
Tense
The atmosphere still was tense
in La Paz, however. Steel-helmet-
ed, heavily armed army patrols
roamed the cobblestones of the
ancient capital, perched at 12,000
feet in the Andes.
But the feeling was that the
army - backed Barrientos regime
was firmly in command. "The jun-
ta seems well in control and the
general situation looks improved,"
a U.S. source said.
The junta is operating actually
as a military administration with
Barrientos as president of the Re-
public and the other 15 members
handling all the cabinet jobs.
Barrientos has promised to call
elections as soon as feasible. The
regime probably will be strength-
ened by the expected return of
Bolivia's ex-President H e r m a n
Siles Zuazo, a popular, well liked
leader, from exile in Uruguay.
Both Barrientos, himself a pop-

ular figure, and Siles were former
associates of Paz in the 1952 revo-
lution that catapulted their Na-
tional Revolutionary Movement in-
to power.
But most of the top leaders
broke with Paz as he tried to make
his regime a one-man show.
Unrest simmered for months and
finally exploded this week in the
open revolt by the army,-students,
tin-mine workers and all political
parties except Paz's own.
The revolt snowballed. Paz de-
cided he was through and hur-
riedly flew with his family and
some top aides to Lima. Some 200
of his stauncher supporters, in-
cluding most of his cabinet min-
isters, sought refuge at Latin
American embassies.
