About 28,000 GM workers at six plants jumped the gun and walked out before the contract expiration and strike deadline. No one could be found on either side of the bargaining table who would offer hope of an immediate agreement on the UAW demands. UAW President Leonard Woodcock and chief GM negotiator Earl Bramblett met through much of the day, but said they were "far, far apart" and a strike seemed inevitable. of more than two hours for dinner, beginning about 6:15 p. m.

EST. The negotiators were to return to the bargaining table at about 8:30 p. m. just 3 hours before the strike deadline. Workers at six GM plants three in the United States and three in Canada went on strike early because of dissatisfaction with the state of the negotiations.

The struck installations were the assembly plants at Framing-ham, Tarrytown, N.Y., Janes-ville, Ste. Therese, and Oshawa, and the Guide Lamp division at Anderson, Ind. There also were brief walkouts at the trim plant in Windsor, and the Cadillac assembly plant in Detroit, but workers there later returned to their jobs. Wage Talks Fail An official strike would idle nearly 350,000 of GM's 427,000 UAW members in the United States and Canada, costing the workers about $42.5 million a week in wages and the world's biggest manufacturing firm $30 million a day in lost production. A strike would take about 320,000 workers out of 123 units in 16 states including 170.510 workers in 54 bargaining units in Michigan.

In this area, about 11,000 UAW members at three plants in Cincinnati and one plant in Hamilton were expected to join the strike at midnight. Some 8500 members of UAW Local 674 are scheduled to walk off their jobs in Cincinnati, including 4700 at the Fisher Body plant in Norwood, 3500 at the Chevrolet plant in Norwood and 300 at a parts warehouse in Sharonville. Another 2780 members of UAW Local 233 at the Fisher Body plant in Hamilton also were expected to strike at midnight. Robert Woods, a UAW international representative, said workers here have arranged shifts for picket duty and picket lines will be manned on a 24-hour basis. He said strike benefits would start at the end of the first week with $40 a week allotted to workers with families; $35 a week to childless couples and $30 a week to single persons.

Woodcock had said earlier a strike would be a serious blow to the nation's economy "and our members don't want one." But he said UAW workers have lost about 7 in pay compared with the cost-of-living rise in the past three years and the UAW members must have a healthy raise. The UAW picked GM as the union's sole strike target at a special meeting Sunday. Earlier GM and Chrysler had been named twin strike targets, Ford, hit by a seven-week 1967 strike, was exempted at the outset.

Marshal Donald Yuellig, assistant superintendent of the Fire Prevention Bureau, said that four fires, were set, probably because of internal trouble among members of the various organizations using the building, at Rockdale and Harvey Ayes.

President Nixon sent a formal request to Capitol Hill for the cash and the White House said the Department of Transportation was transmitting a bid for the required legislative authority. The money will go also to "aircraft security on United States flag air carriers," but just what this security embraces was not spelled out. Agnew Assails A Standoff DETROIT (UPI) The United Auto Workers record $120 million strike fund and General Motors' supply of unsold new cars will last about the same length of time seven to eight weeks in the event of a strike against the giant auto company, GM officials estimated they had 607,800 new 1971 models and unsold 1970 models either awaiting delivery to dealers or in dealers' showrooms in the United States and Canada.

Arabs decided to use the 375 Palestinians as hostages for the release of the hijack victims. Meanwhile, the.

five negotiating nations agreed in London Monday on an "all-or-nothing" settlement for the release of the hostages. The five nations Britain, The United States, West Germany, Switzerland and Israel affirmed their united stand to demand the release of all the hostages seized in the hijacking of three airliners to Jordan last week. Ziegler repeated that the U. S. objective is to "obtain release of all passengers being held by the hijackers" regardless of their nationality.

The bearer of a U. S. passport carries with him prima facie evidence of U. S. citizenship and the holding of U.

S. citizens hostage is totally unacceptable to the United States government, Ziegler said. "The illegal detention of U. S. citizens in a dispute involving another nation is particularly reprehensible.

The United States rejects any attempt to establish distinctions among its citizens on any basis whatever," Ziegler said. Israeli Foreign Minister Aba Eban denied to newsmen in Tel Aviv earlier Monday that his government was rounding up its own hostages to bargain with the hijackers. Drug Culture pep pills helped set the stage for the drug culture phenomenon, Agnew said and broadcasters who air drug-oriented music and publishers who glamorize the drug scene are making matters worse.

The four unions representing rail clerks, train men, track maintenance workers and dining car employees have demanded three year pay increases of 40 cost-of-living pay and other benefits.

Songs: broadcasters are doing a great deal to counter drug abuse with countervailing views, Agnew said, "far too many producers and editors are still succumbing to the temptation of the sensational, and playing right into the hands of the drug culture." In an apparent reference to the movie "Easy Rider," Agnew complained that its central characters were made out as heroes even though their money came from illegal drug sales. "When they come to a violent end, the villian, it turns out, is an allegedly repressive society," Agnew said.

"No sympathy is wasted on the wrecked lives of the people who bought their drugs and financed our heroes' easy ride." The vice president said voters could help counter the drug culture this fall by electing Republicans who will stand with President Nixon in his fight against drug abuse and crime.

He specifically exempted from the denuncification 375 Arab guerrillas being held by the Israeli government.

(UPI) Branding forced busing "a ridiculous waste of time and public money," Gov.

Ronald Reagan signed a bill Monday prohibiting the transportation of public schoolchildren without i their parents' permission. "I know that there are those who charge that opposing compulsory busing is somehow equivalent to encouraging discrimination," the governor said as he signed the legislation. "But those who make this charge lack understanding of the real needs of our children, whatever their race or ethnic background." Reagan said mandatory busing "hampers the quality of education our children need and deserve, siphons off millions of dollars in school funds and robs students of the natural environment of the neighborhood The bill will become effective on the day before Thanksgiving, November 25. It almost immediately will be headed for a court test. NAACP ATTORNEY Nathanial Colley of Sacramento said he will file a Superior Court suit challenging the measure's constitutionality.

won his demands from the National Commission on Obscenity and Pornography and the court order against its final report was immediately lifted Monday. The agency met Keatlng's plea for more time to prepare and more space in its final report for his minority dissent which is expected to mirror the White House position, since he is President Nixon's only appointee to the 18-member commission. KEATING CHARGED the agency with attempting "moral anarchy" in its draft majority report calling for repeal of all federal and state laws aimed at controlling traffic in obscenity and pornography. "This is a great victory for the three dissenting commissioners," Keating said after he won his concessions from commission chairman William B. Lockhart and Cody Wilson, commission executive director.

He and his lawyer, Richard M. Bertsch, Cleveland, met with Lock-hart, dean of the University of Minnesota Law School, and Wilson in the chambers of U. S. District Judge Oliver Gasch to Iron out the nine-point stipulation that dismissed the temporary restraining order. KEATING HAD WON the order last Wednesday, with a hearing (now canceled) set for September 18 on preliminary injunction.

The stipulation increased to 218 the 150 double-spaced, typewriter pages to which the commission had limited Keating's dissent that would go with the final report. It also permits him up to 300 such pages for technical reports supporting his views. The Weather Today will be warm with a chance of showers. High will be in upper 80s.

He said a 12-year-old child was among the Americans still held hostage. Swinkels, the second person to be released from the group of remaining hostages, said he was freed because he was Dutch.

(UPI) Vice President Agnew assailed entertainers, parents, broadcasters and the press Monday for helping to foster mosffly unwittingly a spreading drug culture in the United States. Because adults have not listened carefully or looked closely at the music, movies and underground publications of the youth culture, Agnew said, "blatant) drug-culture propaganda" has pervaded the nation.

SPEAKING AT a $100-a-plate dinner for Nevada Republican political candidates, Agnew said that "all the while that this brainwashing has been going on, most of us have regarded It as good, clean, noisy fun." Agnew said that by drug culture he meant not only actual users, but "those who are adopting 'escape' as a way of life, who seek to release from human responsibility by pretending there is a world other than the real world." "There are millions of Americans, young and old, who believe that if the music is loud the distractions strong' enough, the sedatives or stimulants active enough, they will drown out their frustrations and loneliness," he said. "By yielding to pressure to conform from their friends, they are creating a rigid establishment of their own, building an altar to alienation." Agnew cited popular folk-rock song lyrics containing words such as high, stoned, grass and acid as evidence of drug culture propaganda, but said he was not suggesting there was any conspiracy by the pop music world to spread It He said that at its best, popular music was "complex and exciting" and deserved attention, but the "cumulative impact of some of their work advances the wrong cause."

Chief Judge Edward M. Curran of the U.

S. District Court sentenced Yarrow to Jail here after hearing a plea for mercy from lawyer Edward Bennett Williams. Yarrow, 32, was given a one-to-three-year jail term, but the Judge suspended all but three months of it, after which the singer will be placed on probation. "I hate to think that morality is going out the window," the judge said. "What he did is bad." Carran said the court could not grant him probation because of the nature of the crime.

A similar charge against Yarrow in Cincinnati was ignored about three years ago by a Hamilton County grand jury. The father of a 15- Kentucky News 13, 14, 12.
