Ford knew
of* faulty
Pintos
CHICAGO (AP) - The Ford Motor
Co. followed a practice of not issuing
reports on randomly tested Pinto
automobiles from the assembly line
that failed to meet federal safety stan-
dards, a Ford document shows.
This practice, a federal official said
yesterday, "sounds like a cover up."
THE CHICAGO Tribune reported
that a Nov. 27, 1972, memo written by F.
J. Finkenauer Jr., then manager of
Ford's body-testing department, said
the procedure was "somewhat
questionable."
Frank Armstrong, director of the
National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
ministration's office of vehicle safety
compliance in Washington, said in an
interview Monday he has not seen the
document cited by the newspaper. But
he said he told the Tribune, "This soun-
ds like a cover-up to me."
Armstrong added, "We certainly will
look at these things and in-
vestigate. .. It sounded suspicious,
but you can't evaluate this stuff over a
telephone.-
HE SAID THE newspaper probably
would provide him a copy of the
document. After checking it, he said, he
might recommend that the agency's
lawyers subpoena Ford files.
Charles Gumushian, a Ford
spokesman in Detroit, said the Tribune
report had "absolutely nothing new.
The information is material that has
been in the public record for some time
- in court files, in government files,
National Highway Safety Ad-
ministration files. As far as I'm con-
cerned it's in the public record."
Gumushian said, "I can't comment
on the substance of the memo itself
because I haven't seen it yet."
THE NEWSPAPER obtained the
document from a court file in a pending
criminal trial in Winamac, Ind., again-
st Ford.
Other documents related to the Pinto
suit disclosed that Ford produced the
Pinto despite knowledge that its gas
tank design was vulnerable and that a
cost-benefit analysis showed the com-
pany believed it would be more
profitable to not make the design safer
even taking into account the cost of
"burn deaths" and "burn injuries."

Chrysler, UAW begin contract
talks amid calls for sacrifice
HIGHLAND PARK, (AP) - United
Auto Workers union President Douglas
Fraser said yesterday the union would
seek "equality of sacrifice" from non-
union workers at Chrysler Corp. in,
return for making unprecedented con-

cessions to the troubled automaker.
Speaking to reporters after the
resumption of contract talks at the No.3
automaker, Fraser said he had told
Chairman Lee Iacocca that concessions
had to cover "those not in the union as
well as those in the union."
AS AN EXAMPLE, Fraser said,
"Our salary people tell me people in our
union are being laid off dispropor-
tionately ... you can't tolerate that."
The UAW represents about 10,000
salaried workers at Chrysler, a little
less than a third of the white-collar
work force, the only company in the Big
Three where it represents substantial
numbers of these workers.
The company imposed a white-collar
wage freeze in the spring, and some
1,700 executives have taken pay cuts.
IN ALL, Chrysler has about 110,000
production workers, of whom 29,000 are
on indefinite layoff. They average $9 an
hour.
Never before has the UAW eased
terms for one of the Big"Three com-
panies, although it did for American
Motors Corp. once and also for
Studebaker in 1954.
Chrysler, which expects to lose about
$1 billion this year, is asking for federal;
loan guarantees to help it invest in new
products. The company is scaling down
a request for $1.2 billion to bring it un-
der a $1 billion ceiling set by the
Treasury Department, and UAW
cooperation is a key component of its
plan.
Hayden, Fonda urge
economic change
(Continued from Page 1)
After all the auditorium seats were
filled, representatives of Viewpoint
Lectures, the sponsoring group, began
selling standing room tickets. A
speaker mounted above the main Hill
Auditorium entrance broadcast the
speech to those standing outside.
BEFORE HAYDEN and Fonda
arrived, impatient spectators flipped
paper airplanes to the stage to the
cheers of the crowd. But when the
speakers finally arrived, the irritation
of the students seemed to evaporate.
After Fonda and Hayden spoke, they
fielded questions from whoever it
seemed could shout the loudest.
On their preferences in the 1980
presidential election, Hayden and Fon-
da sidestepped any semblance of an en-
dorsement, but rather said politicians
should get behind the people rather
than the opposite.
Both activists pushed the Campaign
for Economic Democracy, a California-
based political group of which Hayden
is chairman.
Hayden kicked off his promotion of
"economic democracy" by lambasting
the oil industry, building his case for
citizen control of corporations by
outlining what he called oil cor-
porations' abuse of their power.

that the Regents are scheduled to
act on Friday.
"It's the same sort of building as
Track and Tennis, but it's slightly
bigger," said Jagdish Janveja,
manager of University Engineering
Services, the department which will
design the building.
Janveja said any number of uses
for the proposed structure are
possible, including track and dance.
The interior would be constructed to
allow flexibility for most uses.
THE BUILDING is intended to
reduce scheduling conflicts whicb
now exist in the Track and Tennis
Building. Last spring, practice
times of the baseball and track
teams overlapped, forcing both
groups to practice with less than op-
timal space.
Athletic Director Don Canham is
responsible for the project. Con-
struction will begin next month if the
Regents give their approval.
