LANCASTER, PENNA. Ready To Ease Its Demands DETROIT (P) The United Auto Workers Union, warned by President Walter Reuther that it would be "insane to strike now," stood ready today to ease its contract demands on the automotive Big Three. Reuther Friday told a joint council representing 450,000 workers at Ford, General Motors and Chrysler that the union has run into a solid wall of oppostion in efforts to work out new pacts. Citing the recession and the backlog of 750,000 unsold new cars, Reuther said, "The economic climate never has been more unfavorable to the UAW in bargaining sessions." HE REPEATED the UAW's offer to extend on a day-to-day basis the three-year contracts which run out in the next 10 days GM on May 29, Ford and Chrysler on June 1. day-long UAW conference noted that if the companies refuse a contract extension, the union may have to work without a contract until a new one is signed.

It would be the first time since the UAW has represented the Ford, Chrysler and GM workers that they worked without a contract. In previous years when contracts ran out without a new settlement, both sides agreed to let the old contract remain in effect until a new one was signed. The have rejected this this year. The Detroit Free Press, a Knight newspaper, said in a copyrighted story that Reuther told the closed meeting, "It would be insane to modate the auto industry by calling a strike now." REPORTER from the Free Press atended the entire meeting in the Ford Auditorium despite UAW precautions against reporters and recording equipment.

"Reuther, meeting referred May 13 to with his Ford President Henry Ford II and Board Chairman Ernest R. Breech.

"Henry Ford told me at our meeting last week that a strike would work in the best interests of the auto industry, Reuther said. "This was true, Reuther said, because of the inventory of 800,000 unsold cars. "The UAW will buy every day it can, Reuther indicated." UAW SOURCES never have made public what they figure the wage increases, improved pensions and layoff pay would cost the companies. GM estimated the package at 73 cents An hour, Ford at 70.
