Detroit's Pa per s
Settle One Strike
Pressmens' Walkout Keeps Papers
Silent; Row Centers on Single Issue
DETROIT ( ) - Detroit's lengthy newspaper strike moved a
step closer to settlement yesterday as tentative agreement on a labor
contract was reached with one of two striking craft unions.
Federal and state mediators announced the agreement between
the Detroit Newspaper Publishers Association and Local 10 of the
Plate and Paper Handlers Union.
Adoption of the settlement - details of which were not dis-
closed - will be unanimously recommended at a ratification meet-
ing of the union membership

Labor Wins

Second Vote
LONDON R) - Prime Minister
Harold Wilson's Laborite govern-.
ment won a new test of confidence
in the House of Commons last
night by a 21-vote margin.
Thanks to unexpected support
from Liberals, the vote was 315-
294 against a Conservative motion
expressing no confidence in the
new government's entire program.
The vote was Wilson's second
parliamentary victory in two
nights. On Monday night the Lib-
erals voted against the govern-
ment, joining with the Conserva-
tives in supporting a motion criti-
cizing Labor's plans to nationalize
the steel industry. The govern-
ment just scraped by on that
vote, 307-301.
The vote last night demonstrat-
ed how the Liberals can give Wil-
son room for parliamentary ma-
neuver when they agree with his
proposals in the difficult months
of legislation ahead.
On paper, Wilson's majority is
only five in the 350-member
House of Commons. Illness has
cut this down to three. Fog al-
most wiped it out Monday night.

tomorrow, the mediators said.
Four Months
The publishers association rep-
resents the afternoon Detroit
News and the morning Detroit
Free Press, which have not pub-
lished for nearly four months.
The Plate and Paper .Handlers
and the affiliated Pressmen's
Union walked off the job last July
13 over such issues as Saturday
night premium pay at the Free
Press, wash-up time or clothing
allowance, wage scales and con-
tract duration and medical and
hospitalization benefits.
Mediators have disclosed that
"areas of agreement" have been
reached on all issues except the
key question of how many men
shall operate new eight-unit
presses at the News.
Minimum Crew
The publishers have remained
firm on their insistence that the
minimum crew should be pegged
at 15 men, while the union in-
sists on 16.
Some observers feel that if
neither side is willing to budge on
this major stumbling block, the
strike may continue for some
time.
Publishers and the Pressmen's
Union are scheduled to return to
the bargaining table Thursday
morning in the Detroit office of
the Federal Mediation Service.

CHAOS CONTINUED in the Sudan yesterday as crowds stoned
the embassies of the United States, Great Britain, and Egypt.
The three countries registered no protests, with Egyptian Presi-
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser voicing support of the regime of Gen.
Ibrahim Aboud and Premier Sir El Khatim El Kahlifa.
Sudanese Demonstrate
As Disturbances Go On
CAIRO (1) - Street crowds made attacks on the American,
British and Egyptian embassies in Khartoum yesterday during new
demonstrations in the Sudanese capital, Cairo radio reported.
The attacks on the U.S. and British embassies appeared to be
mainly ineffective rock-throwing incidents, but the attack on the
Egyptian building was said to be more serious. There was no men-
tion of any damage or casualties, however. Sir El Khatim El Khalifa,

PRESIDENT BRANCO
For the government, it is still a
time for massive financial assist-
ance.
Economic Planning Minister
Roberto Campos, back from a
money-hunting mission in Wash-
ington, said that Brazil needs a
billion dollars to meet the defi-
cit in its balance of payments in
1965 and 1966. More aid will be

of development necessary for the
firm future of this nation whose
population in less than a decade
will total 100 million people.
Average Brazilian
For the average Brazilian, it is
still very much a time for belt
tightening in the face of mount-
ing prices for food, clothing and
shelter.
But for both citizens and gov-
ernment, prospects for help are
brighter than they were while
Goulart's leftist anti-Alliance for
Progress administration frighten-
ed foreign investments.
Alliance for Progress aid has in-
creased sharply since. the revolu-
tion. Foreign investment interest
has revived.
Washington Trip
Campos' Washington trip set
what is generally considered to be
a favorable groundwork for aid
discussions that continue here
with arrival of an International
Monetary Fund mission, and, later
this month, with arrival of a spe-
cial mission from the U.S. Agency
for International Development.
These missions will take a first-
hand look at Brazil's accomplish-
ments and its needs for the fu
ture.
Campos says Brazil will en-
deavor during these discussions
to obtain enough to cover its 1965
and 1966 deficits. Efforts will be
made to get aid not only from
the United States, but also from
international credit agencies, from
European governments and from
Japan.
Past Success
However, all has not gone well
since the revolution.
Prices of food, medicine are
sharply up.
Meat has gone from 630 to 1,200
Cruzeiros a kilo (2.2 pounds).
Beans, a Brazilian staple, have
gone from 130 to 250 cruzeiros a
kilo; rice from 140 to 240; milk,
from 85 to 180; sugar, from 53
to 218, coffee from 90 to 200.
Two years ago, the minimum
wage in Rio was 12,000 cruzeiros
Today it is 42,000. Many workers
here and in other industrial areas
such as Sao Paulo and Belo Hori-
zonte earn more than that.
Even so, it is extremely diffi-
cult for the average Brazilian to
make ends meet. And beyond that
average, there are millions, es-
pecially in the nation's northeast,
who do not earn that much and
face even greater difficulty.

to be a mass turnout in support!
of the national front government
in a seeming power struggle with'
some elements of the army.
The front grabbed nominal
power last month after similar
street demonstrations resulted in
the ouster of a military regime.
But the front left Gen. Ibrahim

of the army. A small Communist
party emerged with four seats in

Noe also said the school board;

calling for a tax increase that
might be more attractive to the
public.
The walkout began last Wed-
nesday after the voters refused
to endorse proposals for higher
taxes on wages and property. The1
money would have been used to
now $4,400 to $6,600 a year.1
Teachers now are demanding an
increase of $1,500, or five times
what the tax would have provided.

In filing its suit, the Louisville
Federation of Teachers expressed1
hope this would force action onj
raising property assessments.J

Miller's office also was served
with a copy of the restraining or-I

however, he would seek to have
the temporary order set aside.
