Auto Workers Meet To Shape Demands

ATLANTIC CITY. N.J. (UPI) —The United Auto Workers, armed with a $65 million strike fund, met today to shape a jumbo bundle of wage-benefit demands for this summer’s negotiations with the auto industry. „ UAW President Walter P. Reuther aimed at a contract package that would raise payroll costs at least 4.9 per cent a year—roughly 15 to 18 cents an hour for nearly 600,000 production workers. That target, about twice as big as the typical 1963 contract settlement, may invite criticism from President Johnson when he addresses the 2,000 delegates Monday. Johnson has appealed for moderation in bargaining this year. Seek Earlier Retirement Reuther said in his report to the union’s 19th convention that UAW negotiators would drive for earlier retirement and a new escalator clause to increase pensions when wages of living costs go up. The labor leader earlier said his union would drive for longer vacations with extra bonus pay, plantwide work breaks and restrictions on overtime to provide more jobs. “The prospects are excellent that we shall be able to make substantial progress in this year’s negotiations.” Reuther told the delegates in a two-vol-ume report. Car sales have been “phenomenally good” and profits are “fantastically high." and the corporations have not shkfled the prosperity with consumerrs cutting auto prices, he said. $65 Million Strike Fund Reuther disclosed that the union’s strike defense fund ROLLER SKATING at the old » HARTFORD TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Fri.

should total about $65 million by the time that contracts with General Motors, Ford and Chrysler expire Aug. 31. “We have built these sizable strike defense funds as the best insurance against the possibility j of a strike,” he said. “We go" to the bargaining table in 1964 s stronger and better prepared* than at any time in the history-' of our union.” Reuther renewed his pledge s that the union would not seek. gains that would force price in-| creases. This is true even; though the union demands farj exceed general White House! wage guideline recommenda-* tions. he said. Plan Contest For Buddy Poppy Queen The Decatur V. F.

Secy. Freeman Backs Poverty Aid Measure WASHINGTON (UPI) — Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman said today that elimination of rural poverty would strike at the very root of the national poor-problem., The poor people overwhelming cities today are the rural poor of yesterday, or the children of the rural poor of a generation ago, Freeman told a House hearing on President Johnson’s proposed $962 million campaign against poverty. Administration legislation is designed to teach new skills and give new environment to rural and urban youths, finance local antipoverty projects, establish a domestic peace corps and provide loans and grants to small business and farm operators. Freeman was the fifth cabinet member to appear in support of the program. Freeman cited as an example of farm poor the case of a hardup farmer' who could not qualify for a federal farm loan because he was judged to be a poor credit risk. Freeman said under a section of the poverty program the farmer would be able to continue operations by getting a federal grant. But under present conditions, the secretary said, the farmer would stand to lose his farm and wind up on relief in the city. Freeman said one of every three rural families has a cash income of less than $3,000 a year and there are 190 counties where more than half of the rural families must try to get by on less than $2,000 a year. Rural poverty “lies literally off the beaten track,” he said, “on the side roads, in the clay hills and the coastal plains of the South, in the hollows of Appalachia and the Ozarks.” “But they are there. They are invisible, neglected and forgotten.” West Germany Bans Playboy Magazine BONN (UPD—Playboy magazine was placed on the official West German government list of publication considered dangerous for youth to read Wednesday. The official Gazette said the American magazine will remain on the list for the remainder of 1964.
