0 Page 2-Thursday, February 18, 1982-The Michigan Dal UAW, Ford reach agreement IN BRIEF From AP and UPN CHICAGO - The United Auto Workers' Ford Council voted overwhelmingly yesterday to approve a tentative concessions contract that wotild help save Ford Motor Co. up to $1 billion, UAW President Douglas Fraser said. "I am very, very pleased,' Fraser said at a news conference after the more than three-hour meeting, where 132 council members voted to recommend that the rank-and-file ratify the pact. Only 12 voted again- st the recommendation. "I THINK THE agreement is in the best interest of the Ford workers, and the council realized that we would not bring it to them unless it was in the best in- terest of the Ford workers," Fraser said. Union officials said only 144 of the council's 225 members - local union leaders from around the nation - attended the meeting. The contract will now be submitted to a vote by the 170,000 eligible Ford hourly workers. Of that group, about 60,000 are indefinitely or temporarily laid off. ERASER SAID THE ratification process would begin immediately and set a Feb. 28 deadline. If the pact is-approved, it would take effect the next day and run through September, 1984. UAW leaders will meet Saturday in Detroit to plot strategy for selling the contract to the rank-and-file. Donald Ephlin, vice president of the union's Ford department, said he was confident that Ford workers "will vote in relatively the same measure as their leadership di.'' A TINY BAND OF dissidents denounced the pact at a press conference earlier in the day. Their leader, Local 600 member AlGardner, vowed to fight the pact during the ratification process. Under the 31-month pact, Ford promised to main- tain current jobs, which might be lost by future sub- contracting of work to non-union domestic and foreign sources, and replace jobs to the best of the company's ability. Workers with 15 years experience are guaranteed 50 percent of their pay in the event of layoffs. The company will beef up its depleted Supplemental Unemployment Benefits funds, enabling laid off workerswho have run out of SUB benefits to again receive the funds. FORD AGREED TO A two-year moratorium on the closing of plants due to subcontracting. The company, which lost $1 billion last year, also agreed to implement a profit sharing plan when it again makes money. In return, the UAW agreed to a wage freeze for the life of the contract. Cost-of-living allowances will be frozen at the current $2.03 per hour level for the next nine months. Workers will lose the 26 paid personal holidays they now receive over the three years of the current agreement. Dissidents claimed the loss of paid time off under the contract would mean the elimination of 3,000 union jobs because more members would be working at a time. Ephlin confirmed there would be a job loss but said it would be phased in over the life of the contract. He added the "overall impact on jobs will be good;" CO-OP HOUSES" C ~onae~ ~te 2a4m% e - eyo Co " FALL '82 OPENINGS FOR WOMEN IN MOST HOUSES, SEVERAL CHOICES FOR MEN inter-CooperativeCouncil 662-4414 4002 Michigan Union, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 FBI seeks information on visiting Russian scholar (Continued from Page 1) At the University of Minnesota last fall, the State Department sent a letter to Prof. W.R. Franta of the computer science department; asking for infor- mation on a Chinese exchange student, and telling the university to restrict the student's activities in certain academic areas. Franta showed the letter to the university's president, C. Peter MaGrath, who called it "Appalling." MaGrath wrote back to the State Department, saying he would have nothing to do with such a request. STATE DEPARTMENT represen- tative Keith Powell called the Min- nesota situation. a misunderstanding. He said it was a routine affair that had been handled clumsily. The State Department has also tried to place restrictions on Soviet scientists visiting various research universities. Recently, Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin were ordered to restrict the access of Nikolay Um- nov, a Russian robotics expert, only to those documents approved for public release with unlimited distribution. Umnov is visiting several research universities during a three-month ex- change program. Both universities. refused to accept the restrictions. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, officials refused to accept similar restrictions. on the visit of Mikhail Gololobov, a Soviet organic chemist. The State Department said Gololobov's visit -would be approved only, if MIT officials agreed not to ex- pose him to any work there on nutritional research, food supplements, or genetic engineering. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports U.S. commander assesses military aid in El Salvador SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador- Lt. Gen. Wallace Nutting, the senior U.S. Army commander in Latin America, met yesterday with El Salvador's defense minister, Gen. Jose Guillermo Garcia. to assess American aid to the beleaguered Salvadoran military. In a related development, the Salvadoran military high command said only 28 leftist guerrillas were killed during a five-day army offensive last week in southeastern Usulutan province. A field commander in the operation had previously claimed 400 guerrillas killed. The command also denied reports that 400 peasants were massacred during the sweep. A U.S. Embassy source, who asked anonymity for diplomatic reasons, said Nutting would 'assess the effectiveness of our military assistance" during his three-day visit. He said Nutting "will visit places where our trainers are working with the Salvadorans" as well as meet with top military officials. Common Market head says Reaganomics hurts Europe WASHINGTON- The president of the Common Market complained yesterday to President Reagan that high U.S. interest rates, long a concern among the allies, were complicating European efforts to solve their own economic woes.' The official, Prime Minister Wilfried Martens of Belgium, told Reagan that "the Atlantic Alliance and the western economies are going through very difficult times and our solidarity is being put to a test." Martens was dispatched as an emissary from the 10-nation Common Market, bearing European concerns about the U.S. economy, particularly interest rates and the $91.5 billion deficit that Reagan has forecast for fiscal year 1983. Fire on jet forces landing MIAMI- A Pan American World Airways jet aborted takeoff after an engine blew yest'erday and veered onto another runway, forcing an emergency evacuatiop in which two People were slightly injured. The pilot of the Boeing 727, flight 175 from Miami to Orlando carrying 45 passengers and a crew of seven, aborted the takeoff after a controller repor- ted flames were leaping from the jet's rear engine. The passengers left the plane by sliding down emergency chutes as airport firefighters extinguished the fire. The injuries were reported to be ankle sprains from two passengers who slid down the chute. "The fire is out and everything is under control, although there is quite a bit of smoke out there," said Ed Newbern, chief of the Miami International tower. U.S. industrial output down WASHINGTON- The nation's industrial output plunged 3 percent last month, matching the biggest decline in seven years and providing convin- cing evidence that the recession is deepening, new government figures in- dicated yesterday. Nevertheless, analysts inside and outside government still said the economy should pick up somewhat by late spring. But Robert Ortner, the Commerce Department's chief economist, said that if interest rates keep rising "the recovery may be anemic." Several major banks raised their prime lending rates ffrbm 16.5 percent to 17 percent yesterday. As recently as two weeks ago, the prime had been 15.75 percent. January's drop in U.S. industrial production was the largest of six suc- cessive monthly declines and showed industrial output one percentage point below the lowest point of the 1980 recession, the new Federal Reserve Board report said. 01ibe £tbtunIutl Vol. XCIi, No. 115 Thursday, February 18, 1982 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The Univer- sity of Michigan.

Those detained presumably were held for more serious violations. In another development, Radio War- saw monitored in Vienna criticized Poland's Roman Catholic Church, saying some priests were acting "irresponsibly" by criticizing inter-, nment camps and other martial law measures. ~ Meanwhile, Deputy Planning.Com- mission Chairman Stanislaw Dlugosz criticized U.S. sanctions against the- martial law government. "IT'S APPARENT that the United. States counts on the complete break- down of our economy, followed by social dissatisfaction," he told PAP. "It's symptomatic that, the American sanctions apply mainly to food and there is so much discussion of humanitarianism there." Dlugosz said U.S. sanctions deprived Poles of 170 tons of fish from American waters, and crippled the chicken breeding and producing industry which was dependent on U.S. feed credits. His remarks came as West Germany announced new measures against the Soviet Union, including a ban on state visits, because of the continuing mar- tial law in Poland. ia Insight Editor-in-Chief-........----------DAVID MEYER Managing Editor*--------------PAMELA KRAMER Executive Editor-------------..CHARLES THOMSON Student Affairs Editor------....ANN MARIE FAZIO University Editor-----------.. ....MARK GINDIN Opinion Page Editors.........ANDREW CHAPMAN JULIE HINDS Arts Editors.................RICHARD CAMPBELL MICHAEL HUGET Sports Editor..................BOB WOJNOWSKI Associate Sports Editors .............
