Pending the start of the guaranteed annual income, a supplemental unemployment benefit (SUB) plan will continue. It guarantees a worker with seniority 62 per cent of his gross pay plus $1.50 weekly for each dependent, up to four, for as much as a year. Under both the guaranteed annual income and SUB plans regular state unemployment compensation is counted in.

The company supplements compensation to reach the 62 and 95 per cent figures. Speculation continued to grow that the UAW, with its new Ford contract in hand, will take on the giant of the manufacturing world General Motors in its next tussle for new money. By A.F. MAHAN DETROIT (AP) The guaranteed annual income which the United Auto Workers won in a new contract at Ford Motor eo. does not become effective until December of 1968, union spokesmen said Monday night.

Previously, it had been assumed from both company and union statements that the guaranteed annual income would be effective immediately after ratification of the new contract. Actually, payments under the plan would not begin until 1969, since first seniority credits for it are to be tallied at the end of the first pay period of December, 1968. Under the plan, a worker with seven years' seniority will receive 95 per cent of his nor mal takehome pay for up to a year, minus $7.50 weekly 1 A 7X I.

'r William Kusley, the man who started the wildcat walkout in protest against a three-year national contract negotiated by the Teamsters Union last spring, said in Gary, that the trucks would roll again Tuesday He said 67 per cent On Road To In other developments Monday, fighting, in which at least three persons were knocked down and several noses were bloodied, erupted as dissident skilled tradesmen attempted to force their way into a meeting of the National Ford Council of the United Auto Workers Union.

The council was meeting to approve or reject the newly-negotiated contract with Ford Motor Co. where a strike by 160,000 UAW members now is in its seventh week. The pickets were protesting terms of the new pact to be submitted to the UAW Ford membership for Ratification Tuesday or Wednesday if the council approves it. The 200-member Council, which includes local union presidents from across the country, voted overwhelmingly to recommend ratification of the new contract to Ford Strike Weeks of the 10,000 to 20,000 striking drivers approved a settlement that promises the drivers $10 an hour for every hour they wait at mill loading docks after four hours, a 5 per cent general hike in shipping costs and a special committee to represent the independents before the Teamsters. The steel haulers who own their trucks and contract out in dividually, earn a minimum of 73 per cent of shipping costs under the Teamsters contract.

They had originally asked for a 6 per cent boost in their share of costs and $15 for every hour they wait after two hours. Pennsylvania Gov. Raymond P. Shafer, who called together the seven-state mediation panel that drafted the settlement a week ago, said "I extend my heartfelt thanks' to all the representatives of the governors who worked so diligently to bring about this result." It was the second proposal presented by the panel. The trucking companies balked on an earlier suggestion to pay the truckers $10 an hour after two hours.

The detention time issue was the main stumbling block in the negotiations. The settlement provides that the trucking companies bill the mills $13.70 an hour for every hour the drivers wait after four hours. The companies will get a cut of it, which should average $3.70 an hour, and the drivers will get the remainder, which will be $10 in most areas. Pennsylvania Secretary of La bor and Industry William J. Hart, who piloted the panel, said, "I am always happy to see hostilities come to an end.

New Crisis Security Council Members Meeting By CHARLES STORER UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The weekend sinking of an Israeli destroyer by Eg yptian missiles gave fresh im petus Monday to the search by U.N. diplomats for a formula that would make a start toward permanent peace in the tense Middle East. The spotlight was on efforts of the 10 nonpermanent members of the Security Council to draft a resolution that would law down basic principles for an Arab-Israeli settlement and authorize appointment of a spe cial representative to negotiate details with the two sides.

The nonpermanent members met for about 55 minutes Monday afternoon. Another meeting was set for Wednesday. "We are not deadlocked," said Ambassador Senjin Tsu- ruoka of Japan, council presi dent this month, "we are still talking, with neither optimism nor pessimism. Some delegates expressed hope that a resolution would be ready for Security Council ac tion this week, but others said they expected more time would be needed. mere is no cause tor ex cessive optimism about an ear ly council meeting," one nona- lighted diplomat said.

"But the trend is forward. Israeli Ambassador Gideon Rafael told a reporter the situation was "grim" as a result of the sinking of the Israeli destroyer Elath by Egyptian missiles fired from Port Said Saturday night. Cairo contended the ship was in Egyptian territorial waters, but the Idraelis denied this. Rafael said the incident was especially serious because Egypt had launched separate attacks two hours apart on the destroyer. The first disabled the vessel, he said, and the second sank it.

He said this showed the attack was carefully planned and calculated. Other delegates regarded the sinking of the Elath as a side issue, although serious, and said they expected it would have no direct effect on the behind-the-scenes negotiations unless Israel retaliated. U.S. Deplores Elath Incident WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department Monday deplored the sinking of an Israeli destroyer off Port Said on Saturday, but a spokesman said he is "not going to point an accusing finger at anyone at this time." The spokesman was press office Robert J. McCloskey.

He was asked at his news confer ence about the sinking of the destroyer Elath by missiles launched from an Egyptian vessel, and said that the State Department has no independent information about the circums tances. They said the 540-pound spacecraft, which skimmed within 2,500 miles of Venus' surface last Thursday, found by electronic probing: 1.

(AP) A crazed laboratory technician opened fire with two pistols in a crowded paper mill here Monday, launching a one-and-a-half hour shooting spree that left six dead and six wounded. Police, family and friends, all at a loss to explain what made 39-year-old Leo Held go beserk, Scouting Aircraft Detected THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Egyptian officials reported Is raeli naval and aerial recon naissance activity Monday and predicted an "Israeli act of vengeance as something cer tain" in the backlash of the Eg yptian sinking of the prize Is raeli destroyer Elath. A Cairo report said Egyptian coastal batteries fired a warning shot Monday against Israeli patrol boats. Israeli sources said Soviet naval personnel possibly sup ervised the firing of the Russian-made missiles that de stroyed the Elath Saturday night with the probably loss of 53 lives. Israeli's soldier hero, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, accused Egyptian President Gamal Ab-del Nasser of personnally ordering the missile attack.

And Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol denounced the sinking as "an act of war in the open sea." In Cairo, the semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram said Tuesday that Israel was undertaking reconnaissance operations to "test Egypt's military readiness." The paper quoted an Egyptian military spokesman as saying, "we are now expecting an Israeli act of vengeance as something certain." Several Israeli torpedo boats operated Monday near the scene of Saturday's naval encounter off Port Said but stayed away from the territorial water limit when Egyptian coastal artillery fired a warning shot, Al Ahram said. An Israeli helicopter flew on reconnaissance near the Suez Canal city of Ismailia on Monday, Al Ahram said, while another helicopter hovered near the Bitter Lakes south of the canal. Al Ahram quoted a "responsible military source" as saying: "Israel will surely resort to reprisal acts. This is something we have to expect at any time and any place because she cannot bear the psychological and political effects of the swift naval loss which ended in destruction of the Elath. "We should not be deceived for a single moment by news reports from Israel to the effect it may resort to political or diplomatic retaliation measures.

This amounts to no more than camouflage for Israel's real plans." Dayan spoke at a memorial meeting, near his Tel Aviv home, for Israelis killed the Saturday night incident Holding Nasser personally to blame, Dayan noted tie inci dent came five months after the Egyptian president closed the Strait of Tiran in the prelude to the Middle East war in June. "Israel knows bow ta take care of itself and what steps to follow," Dayan said. Earlier Monday, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol denounced the sinking of the destroyer as "an act of war in the open One authoritative Israeli source said Soviet technicians probably were present when the Soviet-built missiles were fired.

The timing and the tone of his address to a clerical workers' group gave it the appearance of a reply, if any was needed, to those who massed to urge that the United States abandon the fighting in Vietnam. And in a separate statement praising the troops assigned to keeD order during the demon stration, Johnson spoke of "irresponsible acts of violence and lawlessness by many of the demonstrators." He said those who started the Vietnam war "cling stubbornly to the belief that, their aggression will be rewarded by our frustration, our impatience, our unwillingness to stay the course."

With 118 of 137 seats declared, military officers and soldiers had captured at least 30 places and civil servants at least 25.

Bill To Curb Reds Passed By Senate W7 N.

Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON The Senate passed by a vote of 65 to 10 Monday a bill to rewrite the Internal Security Act of 1950 in an attempt to provide an effective means of exposing Communist organizations and individuals. The bill, sponsored by Everett McKinley Dirksen, of Illinois, the Senate Republican leader, now goes to the House which is expected to vote in the next few days on a stronger bill approved by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Dirksen, who accepted a compromise amendment to get his bill through the Senate, predicted that the House bill would pass easily and there would emerge from congress a new internal security act "with teeth in it." Several senators said the anti-war demonstrations held here Saturday and Sunday pointed up the need for a more effective means of keeping tab on Communists. back of his own head as a shim mering image on the horizon.

Then he left one dead and two wounded in a trail of bloody gunfire that took him to his home in nearby Loganton. An avid hunter and good shot, he apparently knew his targets and went for them, police said. With icy calm, Held used both guns one a revolver and the other a high-powered magnum while 40 to 50 employes watched, struck dumb by shock. The shooting at the plant, which began shortly after 8 a.m., lasted just a few minutes.

Then Held, a 21-year employe of the Hammermill, quickly turned and walked out the main door, leaving fellow employes crouching behind machinery and desks in fear.

Late reports from the northern provinces told of brisk ground fighting 24 miles south of Da Nang. U.S. spokesmen said elements of the 3rd Bri-gage, 1st Airmobile Cavalry Division, killed 46 Communist soldiers in the seven hours of fighting around a fortified village. Casualties to the cavalrymen were listed as 15 killed and 17 wounded. Elsewhere in the northern part of the country, U.S.

Marines below the demilitarized zone underwent another day of light, harrassing mortar and artillery fire from North Vietnamese gunners. U.S. spokesmen said 78 rounds of enemy shelling landed on Con Thien and nearby forward bases, which a month ago were being hit with bombardment of 500 to 1,000 rounds daily. In the latest shelling, two Marines were wounded, spokesmen reported. The U.S.

Command made no announcement immediately of any plane losses in the raids against the north. The North Vietnam News Agency claimed two American planes were shot down. Pilots reported they dropped one span of the previously hit highway bridge in Haiphong. The bridge is one of four major spans leading out of the city, all of which had been attacked earlier by American bombers.

There he sought out Mrs Geraldine Ramm, a neighbor in Loganton, 17 miles southeast of Lock Haven. He found her at the switchboard she operated for Piper Aircraft Corp. It was then about 8:15. He fired several times into the office and managed to hit Mrs. Ramm twice, wounding her seriously.

Her husband, Schuyler Ramm, told a newsman later that his wife was Monday's driver in a car pool that had blackballed Held about three months ago "because of bis reckless driving." But of the victims at the papermill, at least two were not in the car pool or even close friends, according to victims' relatives. The sixth victim was Floyd Quiggle, 27, Held's Loganton neighbor, who was slain in bed.
