Nixon pares panel to 7
after labor resignations.
WASHINGTON (R - United Auto Workers President
Leonard Woodcock yesterday resigned from the federal Pay
Board, joining AFL-CIO President George Meany and two
AFL-CIO colleagues, who quit Wednesday. The four labor
leaders blasted the Nixon administration's economic poli-
cies, which they said were slanted in favor of big business
and against workers.
Faced with the resignations of four of the five labor
members of the 15-member board, President Nixon yester-
4day reshaped it as a seven-member panel with one repre-
sentative each of business and labor, and five public mem-
bers.

H eyns to
speak at
ceremony
By REBECCA WARNER
The scene of picketing and
protest in past years, today's 49th
annual Honors Convocation in Hill
Aud. will be cheaper and honor
more students, but seems not to
have generated any particular con-
troversy.
A record number of 3,810 under-
graduates from the Ann Arbor,
Flint and Dearborn campuses are
invited to the ceremony which
features a keynote speech by for-
mer education Prof. Roger Heyns,
the president of the American
Council on Education.
In contrast to today's ceremony,
the convocation has been the sub-
ject of some protest in past years.
> Woodcock also said he would
call for a congressional investi-
gation of "scandalous and unfair"
administration of national wage-
price policies.
Teamsters President Frank Fitz-
simmons remained on the board.
The Pay Board was established
following the 90 day wage-price
freeze instituted last August in a
Nixon administration attempt to
curb inflation. At the same time,
a Price Board was also estab-
lished.
Much of labor's opposition to
the Pay Board results from Price
Board decisions allowing price'
hikes in the face of Pay Board
refusals to grantdsimilar pay hikes.
Woodcock said the decision to
withdraw was reached yesterday
at a meeting of the union's 25-
member International Executive
Board.
He said the decision resulted
neither from the Pay Board's re-
cent decision to cut back a West
Coast longshoreman settlement nor
because of the board's decision to
shave contract gains won by the
UAW in negotiations with aero-
space manufacturers.

Over the objections of the
Democratic minority, City Coun-
cil Republicans yesterday passed
6-4 their own plans for redraw-
ing the city's wards.
The vote came after about an
hour of sharp debate, largely over
the validity of population figures
used in the Republican plan.
However, a veto by Mayor Rob-
ert Harris, a Democrat, appears
likely.
