SOVIET FOREIGN MINISTER Andrei Gromyko paid ;an un-
precedented visit to West Germany Thursday in an apparent bid
to speed up ratification of the Soviet-German nonaggression
treaty.
He talked for more than six hours with Foreign Minister Walter
Scheel and left behind the impressionthat Moscow is seriously in-
terested in improving the situation in and around Berlin.
Chancellor Willy Brandt's government has made such an im-
provement a precondition to submitting for ratification the friend-
ship treaty Brandt signed in Moscow last Aug. 12.
RACIAL DISORDERS closed school systems yesterday in
Trenton, N.J., and Providence, R.I. The two cities were among
the 14 that have closed schools for similar reasons since the start
of the academic year.
A survey showed that the school closings, mostly high schools,
came from a variety of causes-from violent black-white confronta-
tions to objections to busing plans to racially-oriented protest and
boycotts.
In Trenton, looting and window breaking broke out again yes-
terday near a city monument as racial unrest continued in reaction
to a controversial school busing plan.
Providence's school system was shut down yesterday by Supt.!
Richard C. Briggs because of rock-throwing incidents Thursday near
the Central-Classical high school complex.

fund helps
ressmen
from the milk group, the Trust
for Agricultural Political Educa-
I tion.
Two freshman members of the
Agriculture Committee who also
t have races this year, Rep. Edward
Jones (D-Tenn), and Rep. Bill
Alexander (D-Ark), got other
'sizable contributions.
Milk is buoyed by government
price supports. The Trust for
Agricultural Education is a rich
new campaign fund overflowing
Swith$400,000 in donations from
dairy farmers around the nation.
Poage is the second unopposed
House chairman benefiting from
special interest funds this year.
Funds for two seamen's unions
steered $5,000 through a hidden
money-raising body set up in
Washington for Rep. Edward A.
Garmatz (D-Md), chairman of
the House Merchant Marine Com-
mittee.
The trust gave $2,000 to Jones
this summer and a total of $6,000
to Alexander over the past year
and a half. All three committee
members were unopposed in their
summer primaries as well as Tues-
day's general elections.
The campaign fund, based in'
San Antonio, Tex., was set up last
year by officials tied to Associated
Milk Producers Inc. That organ-
ization's comptroller, Robert O.
Isham, is treasurer and sole of-
ficial of the trust.
Isham said the trust makes its
contributions to farm congress-
men on the basis of need. "And,"
he said, when asked about the
unopposed members, "I've never
talked to a politician who didn't
need money."
after the two sides gave the
first indications they have de-
cided to begin serious give-
and-take bargaining on eco-
nomic issues.
GM and the UAW jointly an-
nounced a news blackout and
establishment of a special top-
level subcommittee "to undertake
intensive probing" of their differ-
ences.
Imposition of such blackouts in
the past has indicated settlement
was nearing. Counts said he was
"enthusiastic" the subcommittee
had been set up and would meet
through the weekend, but he add-
ed, "Don't let me mislead you to
think settlement is just around
the corner."
He said his office was monitor-
ing negotiations and "if this pro-
gress ceases we will get into it
actively."
Counts said he came to Detroit
of his own volition not on presi-
dential orders.
Both GM and the UAW have
said they want no outside inter-
vention, governmental or other-
wise. And only once, during a
record 119-day strike againstnGM
in 1945-46, have they permitted
a federal government representa-
tive to sit in on bargaining. He
was not allowed to participate ac-
tively, however.
Negotiations which began more
than three months ago, on July
15, broke off when the strike
erupted at midnight Sept. 14 and
were not renewed until Oct. 9.
There was no indication yester-
day that either side had backed
away from previously taken tough
stands on money and fringe issues.
Terrorists in

RIO DE JANEIRO ()-Brazil-
ian terrorists planned to work to-
gether with the Black Panther
party in Algiers, according to do-
cuments published yesterday.
A letter purporting to be written
from Rome to Joaquim Camara
Ferreira, a top Brazilian terrorist
leader who died of a heart attack
last week shortly after his arrest,
said, "We. are thinking of organ-
izing a publishing house in Algiers.
It would belong to us and the
Black Panthers. Legal aims would
be publishing, illegal aims would
be to prepare documents."
The letter, signed "Claudio"
and dated Oct. 10 in Rome, re-
ported efforts by Ferreira's or-
ganziation-the National Libera-
tion Alliance (ALN)-to gather
funds and promote publicity in
Europe against Brazil's military
regime.

By The Associated Press
The 46-day United Auto Work-
ers strike against General Motors
Corp. is taking a heavy toll in
terms of jobs and money in steel,
rubber, rail, automotive parts and
other industries that depend on
the auto industry f or much of
their revenue.
General Motors, the world's
largest company, normally spends
$40 million a day with 39,000 sup-
pliers, and averages $90 million
a day in sales.
An Associated Press survey
showed yesterday that thousands
of workers have been laid off and
that financial losses have mush-
roomed across the country.
Layoffs are mounting among
auto salesmen a n d mechanics
from Massachusetts to California.
So are pay and commission cuts
for those still working. Some steel
and rubber plants have cut back
from five-day weeks to three and
four-day weeks.
Government units are also feel-
ing the impact.
Gov. William Milliken said the
state was losing $4 million a week
in state revenue, and will have to
make budget cuts if t h e strike
goes beyond Dec. 1.
Michigan has 180,000 auto work-
ers strike-idled.
The state Department of Social
Services added that as of} 1 a s t
Tuesday applications from GM
families for federal food stamps
totaled 62,140. UAW strike fund
assistance for its members ranges
from $30 to $40 a week, depend-
ing upon family status. An income
that low, qualifies one for relief.
In addition to strikers, Michi-
gan had 232,000 or 6.5 per cent of
its 1 a b o r force on the sidelines
Sept. 30.
Cities reporting income tax
losses included Flint, $110,000 a
week; Norwood, Ohio, $15,000 a
week; and Cleveland, Ohio, $10,-
000 a week.
In Pontiac it was reported that
the strike-caused decrease in city
income taxes might force the lay-
off of 18 policemen and 14 fire-
men.

SAIGON (P)-The U.S. Army expressed grave
concern yesterday about an increasing number
of American servicemen killed or hospitalized by
narcotics abuse in Vietnam.
In 1970 alone, the Army announced, there have
been 25 confirmed deaths from drugs, another
64 suspected as caused by drugs and more than
700 drug-related hospital cases.
An official memorandum said the problem in-
volved not only marijuana, which always has been
abundant in South Vietnam, but narcotic drugs
such as heroin which are are addictive.
By labeling drug abuse "a matter of grave
concern," the Army shifted from a stand of two
months ago when high officials claimed the in-
crease in narcotics usage was insignificant.
The statement reported more drug-related
hospital cases and more drug-caused fatalities
so far during 1970 than in all 12 months last year.
The findings roughly correspond with those

in Washington on Thursday that an Air Force

"Little Murders" is about
a society decomposing at
fever pitch. Our society, if
you must know. A couple of
years ago, "Little Murders"
seemed a nightmare. It's still
a nightmare, but now it's a
documentary as well. The
manic hilarity keeps snow-
balling. [If you don't laugh
at "Little Murders," which is

the great credit of the Actors
Company, who staged the
play as their third offering
at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre last n i g h t, that
there was a ripple of nervous
excitement in the laughter.
They have found the perfect
tone, the right tempo, the
smoking handle on the hor-
ror. [This is easily the best

of urban hell has been
