Paper claims 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."

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. $1.6 mu.nidhtouse under consideration __ _ I Check into Cubic, and check out what makes our career packages so promising.

"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. Akna's recruitinAg on Atna Life & Casualty has a continual need for good people. Ambitious people.
