The Miami Herald DEATHS Nov. 28, 1970 Absentee Workers Plague CM Automaker, UAW Seeking Answers DETROIT (AP) General Motors and the United Auto Workers are planning a joint attempt to cure two galloping socio-economic plagues absenteeism and new employe dropouts. The joint endeavor is provided for in the new multibillion-dollar contract between GM and the UAW, under which the company estimates wages of hourly workers will advance to between $12,000 and $13,000 a year in 1973. Details of the corrective programs still are to be worked out. But GM Vice President Earl Bramblett and UAW President Leonard Woodcock said it is planned for newly hired workers to be led through an orientation program before being assigned a job.

ABSENTEEISM has doubled over the last 10 years to an average 5.5 per cent. Much of it occurs on Friday and Monday, when it may top 15 per cent. Absenteeism causes increases in manufacturing cost and product quality problems. When there are unfilled stations along the assembly line, workers must be pulled from regular jobs to which they are accustomed to fill the blanks, and their speed at the strange job may be so slow that it affects the line's pace. Absenteeism also causes some plant managers to employ larger work forces than might be necessary to be enough personnel alsure, are on hand.

College students sometimes are hired during the summers just for Fridays and Mondays, when absenteeism peaks. CHRYSLER of Canada, says it finds one of every 10 new employes quits within 10 days. In the GM-UAW experiment, newly hired workers will go to both separate and joint briefings on job responsibilities and rights before taking on their jobs. Nelson Samp, administrative assistant to UAW Vice President Ken Bannon, says a corrective rather than a punitive approach may prove to be a cure for absenteeism. Layoffs without pay now are punishment for chronic absentees.

Why do they take off? Samp says: "That's what we want to know. Maybe through joint counseling we can help the absentee with his problem and ours." Chrysler has even experimented with an offer of trading stamps to workers who string together a certain number of days without absence. 2 Policemen Shot; 17 Youths Held ROANOKE, Va. (AP) Police surrounded an apartment and arrested 17 young Negroes after two policemen were wounded while answering a report of a murder. Officers said the apartment was headquarters for a loose-knit group of black power advocates.

Police used tear gas to flush out the youths after, Police Chief M. David Hooper said, shots were fired at officers from the apartment. He said police did not return the fire. They seized "a considerable number" of weapons, mostly rifles and shotguns, and a large cache of ammunition, an investigator said. Police said photographs of black militant leaders adorned the walls.

A police spokesman said the nature of the charges against the youths could not be revealed now under Juvenile Court procedures. Hooper said the two wounded patrolmen, responding to a telephoned report of a murder, knocked at the door of the apartment and identified themselves, but were met by shotgun blasts. The patrolmen, W. E. Richardson and G.

W. Sutherland, suffered wounds in the hands, chest and face as the shotgun fire splintered the door. Neither was seriously injured.

Davis retired with the rank of brigadier general in 1948, the year most racial barriers were ordered dropped by Army. His career took Mine from service in the ranks to the staff of Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower in World War II. His son, Benjamin O. Davis rose to lieutenant general in the Air Force before retiring. He now is chief of federal guards on commercial airliners.

(AP) Although New Mexico became a state in 1912, residents are used to Easterners thinking they come from a foreign country.

A University of New Mexico student, Lawrence A. Chavez, was surprised to get that attitude from Harvard University, though. Chavez wrote Harvard asking about assistance the League school has for Mexican- American students pursuing graduate degrees. He said he got good letters back from the medical and dental schools, but one from the Division of Biological Sciences said: "Financial support for this long period is not easy to obtain, especially for foreign students.

Textbooks Still Biased, Group Says ATLANTA -(AP) Textbook publishers and the designers educational materials have not yet completed the job of purging their products of racism and bias, the National Council of Teachers of English says. The report, compiled by a task force on racism and bias which has been surveying educational materials for a year, says that students of English and the language arts are confronted with racism in a variety of forms. Commentaries in English anthologies, said the report, may "gloss over or flatly 1g- nore oppression suftered by nonwhite minority groups" or "depict inaccurately the influence of nonwhite minority persons on literary, cultural and historical developments in America." The report was approved by the conference at its annual convention.
