UAW head criticizes
U.S. auto import policy
GRAND RAPIDS (UPI)-The United States is now expor-
ting dollars instead of goods, United Auto Workers President
Owen Bieber told the Grand Rapids Economic Club yester-
day.
The over-valued American dollar is costing the country
millions in trade each year, Bieber said, and is the key factor
in the current $37 billion trade deficit with Japan.
BIEBER SAID the Reagan administration decision to
allow the voluntary auto-import restraint agreement with
Japan to expire will cost up to 200,000 "good-paying jobs,"
but will not translate into lower prices for consumers.
"Don't look for a bonanza in reduced car prices," Bieber
said. "The facts are just not there to support that contention,
and, in fact, small car prices rose only about half of the Con-
sumer Price Index under the voluntary restraints."
Bieber said a UAW-backed bill will be introduced in
Congress after the Easter recess aimed at attacking the
current $37 billion trade deficit with Japan.
"WE HAVE TO start ratcheting that figure down to a level
resembling fair trade," he said, adding that the proposed
legislation would apply "an X-factor" annually to reduce the
deficit, plus limit to no more than one-third the total trade
with any one nation in a single sector.
Of the recent decision by the Canadian UAW to split from
the U.S. arm, Bieber said about $36 million in Canadian
dollars would be set aside from the union's strike fund to
protect Canadian members against their employers and that
the Canadians will, in turn, repay about $23 million at
American rates for union buildings, local union mortgages
and per capita loans.
"It's about a wash and makes good common sense on this
side of the border, too," he said.

the ultimate sin. "I missed two classes
to watch this game," he said.
Similar hysteria was rampant
throughout campus-there were even
reports of teaching assistants can-
celling class to watch the game.
AT HAIR TRENDS Barber Shop,
employees showed their spirit by
bringing in a TV and setting a Tiger hat
next to it. Owner Bob Cantin ever
thought of "closing shop and bringing in
a keg" for the game.
At Charley's, Tiger fans showed up
for beer, pizza, and nine innings of
Tiger-Indian action. LSA junior John
Bacon explained that he wasn't able to
make it to a World Series. game last
year when the Tigers became world
champions, but he did "get a piece of
right field." LSA junior Mike Collins
skipped class to come to Charley's for
the game, but fortunately the class he
missed was "only French." His
brother, LSA senior Dave Collins,
agreed with Mike's attitude. "I don't
have class on Mondays, but if I did, I
wouldn't be there," he said. -

Esteli provinces in their bid to over-
throw the Sandinista government.
"Sandinista Popular Army troops
killed 128 rebels and wounded 22 in five
battles in the northern mountains
during the last week of March," a
Nicaraguan Defense Ministry
statement said.
"The mercenary forces have tried at
all cost to lay a beachhead in the nor-
th," the statement said.
SIXTY-NINE of the rebels were
killed in figiting near the town of
Murra, Nueva Segovia province, some
85 miles north of the capital and 40
others were killed in "fierce combat" in
an isolated section of Jinotega, the
report said.
The government is currently
relocating an estimated 50,000 peasants
from the area to create free-fire zones
and undercut rural support for the
FDN, which often retreats across the
Honduan border to regroup and resup-
ply.
Salvadoran guerrillas downed elec-
tricity line towers along the Northern
Trunk highway overnight, cutting
power to three provinces, officials said.
Some 50 towns in the provinces of
Chalatenango, Norrian and Usulutan
remained without power as of mid-day,
while crews from the government-
owned telecommunications company
tried to reestablish the electric grid.
On the battlefront, military officers
in Usulutan province reported sporadic
fighting late Sunday in the country's
central highlands, which left three
rebels and one soldier dead.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Illegal
aliens from Central America and Haiti
who claim they are political refugees
would get moral and other support from
this university city under a proposal
before the city council yesterday.
Under the resolution, city agencies
and employees would not cooperate
with federal efforts to expel the
estimated- 5,000 illegal immigrants
from El Salvador, Gautemala and
Haiti who have fled to this university
city.
THE RESOLUTION also would ex-
tend city services to all Cambridge
residents, whether or not they are U.S.
citizens. Proponents of the measure say
try or nt
refugees worried they will be forced to
prove citizenship may not be seeking
medical treatment or education for
their children.
One purpose of the resolution is to
show support for the refugees, who fear
political persecution, torture, and
death if sent back to their native coun-
tries, said city Councilor. Alice Wolf,
who sponsored the measure.
"Many things start at the local level
and we can't wait for the federal gover-
nment to come around," she said. "I
believe we have an obligation to shelter
people who are being persecuted in
other countries."
The proposed resolution is modeled
on one passed in February by city
councilors in Berkeley, Calif., Wolf
said.
