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."

JUNTA CONTROLS LAPAZ: Venezutpla Cuts Bolivian Ties 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. since it convened in 1962.

I t a r : n r a k N e y u 2 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.

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. t YOU PICKED: A WINNER FERRANTE S TEICHEIR THE PEO;PLEAS CHOICE Your favorite hits in the famed Ferrante & Teicher style.
