Reuther emerged from the bargaining room to face newsmen jammed into a corridor at the Ford central office building in suburban Dearborn. He said he was happy to announce a Ford settlement and added, "The economic aspects are essentially the benefits of the Chrysler package."

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) Two U.S. destroyers were engaged in action in the Gulf of Tonkin off North Viet Nam Friday, both Washington and Communist North Viet Nam reported. The destroyers patroling the gulf were reported to have opened fire on what they thought were North Vietnamese torpedo boats. The U.S. vessels were reported to have picked up the craft on their radar while patroling in the Gulf, which is off the coast of North Viet Nam.

The destroyers did not say they were fired on themselves, according to authoritative sources here. REDS COMMENT A statement by the North Viet Nam foreign ministry said two U.S. destroyers were in action in the gulf near a place called Nghe An. The statement, broadcast by Red China's New China News Agency, spokes of "heavy explosions and flashes of light and aircraft circling over the spot." In its own report, the China News Agency said two U.S. warships were active in the area at 2200 hours Friday (10 a.m.

Eastern Standard Time) and at daybreak Saturday. This suggested the possibility of a second incident, but there was no other word on it. DENY STARTING IT The North Vietnamese did not mention North Vietnamese units involved. They denied they had provoked the incident, as they did in last month's Tonkin Gulf crisis.

He began with an invasion of Johnson's home state, stopping at Longview, where the attack on the President as a big spender began.

Tower spoke at a $10-a-plate fund-raising dinner for Fourth Congressional District candidate Roscoe Pickett and the DeKalb County Goldwater campaign. Approximately 700 persons attended.

Before Tower spoke, Pickett read a telegram from Goldwater wishing him "all success in bringing the two-party system to Georgia." Pickett then introduced Tower as the "originator of the draft-Goldwater movement." The Texas senator aimed most of his barbs at President Johnson. He said, "Not even Franklin Roosevelt ever envisioned anything like this. And, my friends, when Franklin Roosevelt starts sounding like a conservative, we're in trouble."

They don't understand that the national debt is what it is almost entirely because of two great wars and a third the Korean which was long and expensive. They want the best for themselves and they want to be affluent and they could if only the government would stop collecting taxes. This sort of attitude finds it easy to criticize the federal government, to believe that people who are out of work are that way because they are lazy; and that Senator Goldwater will abolish mean old Washington if he gets elected. 1 Saturday as Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia prepared officially, to launch new ported that traffic flow through the gigantic interchange during the morning rush hours was almost surprisingly light.
