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. SGC vote president; contested 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.

KMS chairman, Keeve Siegel, de- nied that KMS Industries has equipment in Vietnam. The corpor- ation has not "supplied radar sys- tems used to guide American planes in Vietnam as it has been claimed," he said. Arlene Griffin, PAAW spokeswo- man, said that PAAW received its information on KMS from sources including the KMS annual report, another report intercepted on route to a California branch of the cor- poration and a printhout ofPenta- gon contracts they had been able to decipher. Some of the demonstrators en- tered KMS's offices and asked to, speak to a spokesperson for the corporation. They were met by several security guards who denied, the request. The PAAW supporters attempted to set up a slide show called "The 'Automated Air War" in the lbby but the building manager said that the show would hot be allowed. The group also gave out invita- tions to employes and passers-by to the show held later in the Pub- lic Library.

Councilman James Stephenson (R-Fourth Ward) said recently the GOP "has nothing to gain and+ everything to loose" by further de- lays in the ward drawing business. The department's motion said that deferral of further proceed- ings in the case until Congress acts on. pending legislation "will contribute to the orderly resolu- tion of the matters" and "will not materially affect the timely reso- luion of issues before the court." Nixon asked Congress last Fri- day to put an immediate stop to new busing orders by. the federal courts until July 1, 1973. He also called on Congress to adopt what he c a 1 1 e d reasonable national standards for school desegregation that would permit busing only as a last resort while "protecting the right of the community to main- tain neighborhood schools."
