4 Page 2-Wednesday, November 26, 1980-The Michigan Daily Ford to pay $23 million in discrimination settlement WASHINGTON (UPI) - Ford Motor Co. yester- day settled discrimination charges for $23 million - including $13 million damages to minorities and women either refused jobs or denied employment ad- vances. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, calling it "one of the most significant nationwide discrimination cases," said the Ford agreement was its second largest consent decree. Only a $29.4 million settlement in 1978 with General Electric Co. was bigger. EEOC CHAIRMAN ELEANOR Holmes Norton said "the agreement has effected substantial monetary and job benefits to minorities and women in a painstaking action to complete a case that predated this administration." EEOC launched a nationwide investigation in August, 1973 upon receiving complaints Ford discriminated against minorities and women in hiring and advancement programs. Under the agreement, the nation's second-largest automaker must pay cash damages totaling $13 million to 14,000 persons. FORD WILL DISTRIBUTE $8 million to applicants turned down for hourly rated jobs in the early 1970s because of alleged discrimination; $3.5 million will go to salaried minority and female employees with ser- vic dates before 1975, and $1.5 million will go to women in hourly jobs employed prior to 1972. Damages will be distributed based on seniority, EEOC said. Ford also agreed to spend $10 million on training and other affirmative action programs to help em- ployees develop skills needed for better and higher paying jobs. EEOC SAID FORD will increase opportunities to enter skilled trades and production and "maintenan- ce supervisory positions" - the job once called "foreman." EEOC said Ford has agreed to fill over 20 percent of the old foreman jobs and over 15 percent of general supervisor opportunities with minorities. And 30 per- cent of non-skilled new employees hired will be women. The settlement does not affect the possible recall of employees laid off because of slow automobile sales in the past year. Besides the GE settlement, two other EEOC ac- tions - against ATT in 1973 and nine steel companies in 1975 - were larger than the Ford agreement. But those had reached the lawsuit stage, while the Ford and GE cases were negotiated settlements. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports California blazes kill four SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - Raging fires, pushed by blowtorch winds, yesterday charred more than 40,000 acres in four counties, killing at least four people and destroying more than 273 homes including a $500,000 man- sion once owned by actress Dorothy Lamour. More than 15,000 residents were forced to flee the erratic, swiftly moving flames, many with only the clothes on their backs, while hundreds of others stayed, perched on rooftops, fighting to save their homes and possessions with garden hoses and guts. Among the dead were an elderly couple found burned to death just out- side their front door on D Street. Fire officials said two other residents of the same area died of heart attacks during the fire, which they said was deliberately set and continued to rage out of control. Algerian delegation delivers message to U.S. officials WASHINGTON - Bearing a confidential message from Iran, a high- level Algerian delegation flew to Washington yesterday to resume negotiations to free the 52 American hostages. U.S. officials said the Algerians probably were carrying requests for clarification of the U.S. proposals, which Secretary of State Edmund Muskie said last week agreed in principle with Iran's terms. As the three-man delegation left Algiers, Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of Iran's parliament, told reporters that Tehran's four demands for freeing~ the hostages, now in their 388th day of captivity, were non- negotiable. Iran's conditions, laid down by the Iranian Parliament, include can- cellation of American claims against Iran, including hundreds of lawsuits, the freeing of more than $8 billion in Iranian assets and return of the wealth of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. $1in 1967 worth 39C today 4 IN BROOKLYN TARPAPER SHACK: Squatters talk. t (Continued from Page .)

South Quad RA Lesa Borninski said almost all of the students on her hall are going somewhere. Although some students live too far away to manage a trip home, she said, "they're having their own Thanksgiving dinner with their frien- ds." A heavy workload is keeping some students on campus. Senior Karne Kukla said she would like to graduate "eventually" so she is planning to study this weekend. "I want to rend the hear- ts of my professors who have piled the work on top of me," she said. Sharon Ripps, a junior who lives in Stockwell, said she is staying because she doesn't have a seat on flight home to Florida. "I don't feel like waiting around at the airport. Besides, I can do a lot of work around here," she said. For those who are really serious about studying, the Undergraduate and Graduate libraries will be open on a shortened schedule this weekend. The UGLI is open until 5 p.m. today, closed tomorrow, open 1-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 2 a.m. Sunday. The Graduate Library also will be open until 5 p.m. today and closed tomorrow. Hours are from 1-6 p.m. Friday and regular hours resume Saturday. Some students, like Tammi Fishman, have jobs to do. The junior is scheduled to work Thanksgiving Day in the phar- macy department at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. "They don't close down for the holiday," she said, adding that she will celebrate Thanksgiving with her family on Friday. Dorm residents who don't leave town will still be able to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast. It may not be quite like home, but Turkey, pumpkin pie, dressing, and cranberry sauce will be dished up in Alice Lloyd for all of the dorm residents still on campus, associate housing director Norm Sun- stad said. During the remainder of the holiday weekend, meals will be served in Alice Lloyd for students who live in the Hill area dorms, in East Quad for students on Central Campus, and in Bursley for North Campus residents. Recreation facilities at the Central Campus and North Campus recreation buildings and the Intramural Sports Building will be open according to their normal weekend schedules, although they will be closed tomorrow.

WASHINGTON - Consumer prices rose C ONU a full percentage point last month, accom- r R#C panied by a decline in take-home pay that rINDEX.,i posed new headaches- for inflation-weary Sawao Americans during the approaching holiday -O0 110ll season. The Labor Department reported yester- day that the one percent jump in October, 20 fueled largely by ever-rising housing costs, brought the annual rate of inflation to 12.6 percent, not far behind the 13.3 percent an- nual rate of 1979. 240 The index now stands at 253.9, meaning items that cost $100 in 1967 now cost $253.90. Stated another way, the 1967 dollar is now 230 worth 39 cents. A Labor Department economist ex- plained about three-fifths of the October rise I was due to increasing "home prices and ac- 220 celerating mortgage interest rates. The Sep- tember increase, on the other hand, reflected 1919 1980 large increases in food prices. souDeri of labor Iran claims impending victory BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iran claimed yesterday to have cut into Iraqi positions along the entire three-mile battlefront and to have cracked the Iraqi siege of the oil-refining city of Abadan. Iraq, meanwhile, said it had held back Iran's counterattacks and that Abadan was in a "tightening stranglehold." Iraq's Foreign Minister Saadoun Hammadi was quoted as saying life was returning to normal in most of Iraq despite Iranian claims of ap- proaching victory and reports of heavy fighting inside Iran. The independent Kuwaiti newspaper Al Qabas quoted him as -saying foreign firms that pulled employees out of Iraq when the war erupted Sept. 22 were returning to work on the oil-rich nation's development projects. Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, meanwhile, told pilots at Isfahan's air base in central Iran that his forces were "approaching the point of forcing the Iraqi government to concede defeat," the official Pars news agency reported. Grasso's cancer spreads HARTFORD, Conn. - Gov. Ella Graso, who had a cancerous ovary removed in April, is now suffering from cancer of the liver, her doctors and the governor said yesterday. Medical experts consider cancer of the liver a very grave form of the disease. Lt. Gov. William O'Neill, who would assume office in the event Mrs. -Grasso could not fulfill her duties, said there were no such plans now and that he had talked with her twice by telephone yesterday. "The governor's spirits are very good and she feels she's going to lick this problem," O'Neill said. Mrs. Grasso was hospitalized Nov. 15 for phlebitis, an inflammation of a vein in her left leg. Doctors said she was making a good recovery from that and'could have left the hospital sometime this week. They are now recommending that she remain a few more days so they can establish a chemotherapy program. ~Jbe idprhgun latig Volume XCI, No. 72 Wednesday, November 26, 1980 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
