(AP) Henry Ford II, whose Ford Motor soon starts new contract negotiations with the United Auto Workers Union, said today willingness to accept a strike is "part of the price" of preserving "free and responsible collective bargaining." "There seems to be a widespread assumption that government and public opinion will no longer tolerate strikes in major Industries and therefore that a real strike in the automotive industry is out of the question this year," Ford said. "i am convinced that responsible bargaining is most unlikely if the very possibility of a strike is ruled out from the beginning. Willingness on the part GOP Talks Tax Change For Medicare WASHINGTON (AP) The Republican Platform Committee plans to consider a proposal to raise income than Social Security pay for health care for the aged.

"We have always favored progressive taxes father than regressive taxes," said Rep. Melvin R. Laird, chairman of the committee that meets in San Francisco next month. "An increase in the Social Security tax, as the Democrats have proposed to pay for their medical care program, would weigh heaviest on those least able to pay," he said in an interview. The Social Security tax is deducted only from the first $4,800 of earnings, so that a laborer earning that much pays as much tax as a millionaire.

Laird said his party has always stood for taxes such as the graduated income tax under which amount of the tax depends on the ability to pay. Laird said that while New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller favors using Social Security taxes to pay for health care for the aged, the general revenue approach is backed by Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and of the public, government and management to accept a strike, if necessary, is part of the price we must pay for the preservation of free and responsible collective bargaining whether that willingness is ever put to the test or not." The best and probably the only effective way to prevent one party's over-reaching is to preserve the possibility that a strike may occur, he said.

Ford made the observations In a speech prepared for the American Society of Corporate Secretaries. Ford's company and the UAW begin new contract bargaining in nine days. Current three-year pacts between the UAW and the Big Three General Motors, Ford and Chrysler all run out Aug. 31. The UAW has adopted a wide range of goals that include earlier retirement and higher pensions, a shorter work week, higher wages, and at least two 10-minute "coffee breaks" each eight-hour shift.

Justice Arthur J.

Scranton Gain Of Delegates Cited Hearing on State Highways Delayed WASHINGTON (AP) Gov. William W. Scranton says Republican convention delegates ''in greater numbers than I expected" are lining up behind his presidential candidacy. The. Pennsylvania governor, who plans to confer starting Tuesday with key uncommitted delegations in the East, Midwest and South, says he thinks the major swing to him by delegates now favoring front-running Sen.

Barry Goldwater will start in a week and a half. Scranton gave no figures on shifts so far in his appearance Sunday on the CBS radio-television program "Face the Nation." He planned to stay in Harrisburg, today, but had an eye on Columbus, Ohio, where the 58-vote Ohio delegation is scheduled to meet. The delegation includes at least 15 Goldwater supporters but is nominally pledged to Ohio Gov. James A. Rhodes on the first ballot.

A key to Scranton's success is to assure that such delegations stay uncommitted so that Gold water doesn't go over the top on the first rollcall at convention at San the GOP Francisco. "If he doesn't win on the first ballot, it would be very difficult for him to win at all," Scranton told newsmen Sunday before he returned to Harrisburg from Washington. While in the capital he conferred with the nine-delegate District of Columbia delegation. He called it "a very successful meeting" but declined to elaborate. The latest Associated Press survey of GOP convention delegates gives Goldwater 694 first- ballot votes-39 more than the number needed for nomination.

The new round of events was planned after simultaneous demonstrations by whites and Negroes.

Five Gurkhas were killed and five others wounded in the six- hour battle near the frontier about 50 miles west of Kuchung, the spokesman said. The number of guerrilla casualties was not known. The dead and wounded were reported carried back across the frontier as security forces forced the guerrillas to retreat.

The spokesman said the attack on the Gurkha patrol continued for six hours in some of the fiercest fighting of the anti- guerrilla campaign. Government officials predicted a major stepup in the Indonesian guerrilla campaign following collapse of the peace conference Saturday in Tokyo. Indonesia voiced a tougher new stand against Malaysia. The State Security Council in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sarawak scheduled an emergency meeting. The situation on the frontier is- grave, Chief Minister Stephen Kalong Ningkan said.

The street between the two groups was filled wilh state and local police who were convgying each parade. Some of the white marchers waved Confederate flags. Others carried anti-civil rights signs. A few yelled taunts at the Negroes, some of whom stared ahead without visible emotion. The two demonstrations wound in and out of the center section of (own for about an hour.

Only rarely were the two groups more than a couple of blocks apart. Gov. Farris Bryant clapped a lid on night demonstrations Saturday after a tense Friday night situation in which a large group of Negro marchers passed within a few hundred feet of an even larger band of whites. Violence was averted then by fast working police, sheriff's deputies, state highway patrolmen and other state officers. Cubans Order Hundreds More British Buses LONDON (AP)-Cuba placed an order today for 500 more British further installment of a deal that provoked American displeasure earlier this year.

Cuban government officials signed the contract here with Leyland Motors, the firm which previously agreed to supply 450 buses to Fidel Castro's government. The original deal for 450 buses at a cost of $11,2 million specified that Cuba should have an option on an additional 1,000 buses. The initial contract, concluded in January, was criticized by the U.S. Stale Department. Three Fined For Speeding In Mississippi JACKSON, Miss.

The Neshoba County sheriff's office said today three civil rights workers were arrested Sunday and released after paying a $20 fine. The Council of Federated Organizations said the trio has been unaccounted for since Sunday afternoon. Bill Light, a COFO public Information officer, said two white workers and a Meridian Negro, left Meridian Sunday for Philadelphia in Neshoba County to check on a report of a Negro church being burned last week. Light identified the three as Mickey Schwener, 24, York City, a Congress of Equality field Sames Cheney, 22. a Meridian Negro CORE worker; and Allen Goodman, 20, a Mew York City summer volunteer.

Light 's a i they learned through calling police departments between Jackson and Philadelphia that the three were arrested Sunday for speeding and held briefly. He said they" posted a $20 bond and were released. COFO said they have not been heard from since. Light said the FBI, Justice Department and the highway patrol bad been asked to investigate the incident. Elsewhere across the state, more summer volunteers were arriving to work among state Negroes.

The Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) said more than 100 students came by bus and car over the weekend, and more were expected. More than 200 volunteer student workers finished a week of indoctrination for the Mississippi Summer Project conducted by the National Conference of Churches at Oxford, Ohio. They were told how to hold voter registration drives and set up remedial schools. High-Speed Stock Ticker Introduced NEW YORK (Spl.) Thel New York Stock Exchange in-i augurated a new era in the re- porting of stock market information with the installation of the first high-speed "900" ticker today. Installation of the first unit was made in the office of Dick and Merleman, the oldest member in New York City, founded in 1797.

Keith Funston, president of the Exchange, threw the switch that activated the new stock tape "900" ticker. Three Lake Charles members of the New York Exchange will receive the new tickers sometime in August. The firms are Howard, Weil, Lajbouisse, Fried- ricbs and Kohlmeyer and and A. G. Edwards and Sons.

The new ticker, developed by Teletype will operate at variable speeds of up to 900 characters a minute, compared with a speed of 500 characters for the present unit, introduced in 1930 and until now the fastest commercially available teletype tape printer. Some 3,800 of the present tickers, operated in the U. Can- ada, and Europe, will be replaced between now and October 1. Funston hailed the Installation of the first "900" ticker as "the beginning of a technologicaUJre-' volution in the recording and transmission of stock market information to the investing public. "The 900 ticker system is designed to handle, depending on trading patterns, up to 10-million shares a day, well within our volume projection through 1980, we anticipate an average daily volume of 8-million shares." When installation of the new units is completed, the new tickers will print at between 500 and 900 characters a minute, changing speeds automatically to keep pace with trading.

The 900 ticker will print sales in the same manner as the present tickers, in slightly smaller figures. New turntables for handling of sales reports from the trading floor have been installed in the Exchange Ticker Room on the fifth floor of 11 Wall replacing the straight-line conveyor belts now in use.
