Union president Douglas Fraser said he could not estimate the savings to Ford, which said it lost more than $1 billion in 1981. "You can't put a figure on it because you would have to put a lot of assumptions on it," he said.

Ford's chief negotiator, Peter Pestillo, said only that the pact was worth "a great deal." Analysts who worked on Ford's original proposal said it would save about $1 billion. The talks were requested by Ford in an attempt to make it more competitive with foreign automakers. Asked if he could say how many jobs the SEE BACK PAGE cessions over 31 months, a freeze on wage-and cost-of-living raises and elimination of some holiday pay during the period. In return, they said, Ford agreed to a guaranteed income for high-seniority workers and restrictions on subcontracting work to foreign and non-union companies. If it is ratified by the 170,000 UAW rank and file, the agreement would go into effect immediately and expire Sept.

"We believe the agreement represents a major achievement in terms of providing UAW members at Ford with greater job security," the UAW said in a statement.

and the United Auto Workers union reached tentative agreement Saturday on a contract intended to saye the nation's No. 2 automaker hundreds of millions of dollars while ensuring jobs for thousands of Ford workers. Neither side could give an exact dollar estimate of the union's concessions or the number of jobs that would be saved by the tentative accord. It came after 13 consecutive days of emergency negotiations, including a. 16-hour session Friday and 11 hours' work Saturday.

The savings to consumers because of reduced labor costs also were not known. Ford and UAW officials said the agreement offers company workers wide job security through wage and benefit con So, Vince, who was promised admission at Berkeley if he successfully completed his first two college years at Santa Cruz, plans to transfer to the larger campus. The program was started to both retain students in the UC system that might otherwise choose another university if they were rejected from Berkeley and to boost enrollment at Santa Cruz. Several years ago, UC President David Saxon hinted that cutbacks would be made at the campus, where enrollment had been falling, if UCSC didn't attract more students. Officials at Berkeley and Santa Cruz are calling the program a success.

"When the program began," Erfer noted, "it got bad publicity and it was medical attention. They were being taken to the Azores, the nearest land, but were not expected to reach land before Sunday night or Monday morning, Clouston said. Clouston said the dead man was believed to have been among three sailors who abandoned ship early Saturday after the stern began listing 45 degrees to port. A search for the 15 missing men was called off at 5 p.m. after 20 life rafts dropped by rescue plans were found to be empty, said Clouston.

"We lost 18 percent of last year's directly applying freshmen and only 9 percent of redirects," commented Bruce Erfer, director of Institutional Data Analysis for UCSC's Office of Finance and Planning. "Retention of Berkeley redirects is better. "It's strange." Some students, however, can't wait to get to Berkeley. For example, when Vince Hawkins goes home to Pleasanton during vacations, people ask him where he goes to college. He says it's difficult to tell "businessmen or my father's friends" that it's UCSC.

Brownell said he was surprised that so many Berkeley redirects chose to stay at Santa Cruz after their first two years. Of 79 students accepted at Santa Cruz with the option of tranferring to Berkeley's School of Letters and Sciences, 52 took advantage of the option, according to Brownell. Of 54 students given the option of entering Berkeley's School of Engineering after two years at Santa Cruz, 20 were admitted as juniors to the larger campus. Redirects James Nickerson and Sally Starrels, both sophomores at UCSC, say they plan to stay at Santa Cruz.

SEE BACK PAGE Rescued The Victory was carrying a cargo of molasses from Florida to the English port of Liverpool, and was 840 miles southwest of Lands End, England's southwestern tip, when it broke up. The British coast guard said the tanker had no other cargo. A spokesman said there was no danger of pollution from a spillage of the ship's fuel supply because of the agitated waters. Minutes after the tanker broke up at 1:30 a.m. Friday, 12 crewmen abandoned ship and launched a life raft but it was smashed by the gale-whipped waves and capsized, Clouston said.

For the next 24 hours, the rest of the crew clung to every available hold on what was left of the stern, consisting of the bridge superstructure, radio room and flooded engine room. Rescue officials said the crewmen talked in radio reports of jumping overboard as the stern began to list badly. Early Saturday, three crewmen decided they had enough, said Clouston, and jumped into the storm-tossed waters, apparently hoping to reach life rafts that had been dropped by rescue aircraft. After the seas subsided a few hours later, the Dutch frigates sent out two Lynx helicopters, one of which developed engine trouble and was put out of service. Shuttling 20 miles between the stricken vessel and the frigates, the remaining helicopter winched all the survivors to.

The 16 survivors, who had clung to the shattered stern for 33 hours after the tanker broke up in a storm early Friday, were ferried to two Dutch Navy frigates in the area, the Van Speijk and Callenburgh.

Mike Clouston, senior watch officer at the Falmouth Coast Guard station, said that both frigates were medically equipped but none of the survivors needed Of But Alvarez has done something government officials and police have been unable to do so far.

And, according to at least one police spokesman, there has been a "dramatic" reduction in the number of youth gang-related crimes since her group began. attles Youth By SYLVIA TOWNSEND Sentinel Staff Writer An unexpectedly large number of UC students assigned to UCSC as part of the Berkeley redirect program have decided to stay in Santa Cruz. These students, part of the Santa Cruz-Berkeley Cooperative Admissions Program, better known as the redirect program, were promised admission at Berkeley if they successfully completed the first two years at UCSC.

Of the class entering in fall, 1979, the program's first year, 93 students, or 42.5 percent, chose to stay in Santa Cruz. This phenomenon puzzles campus officials. Search FALMOUTH, England (AP) Sixteen seamen who clung to the stern of their split tanker for 33 hours in turbulent seas were saved by a Dutch helicopter Saturday. But the British coast guard said it was pointless to continue looking for 15 other sailors and called off the search. The rescued seamen were winched to safety from a 100-foot chunk of the Greek tanker Victory, which broke up in the stormy North Atlantic about 500 miles north of the Azores.

"If the redirects were to come here and leave, we would be open to a lot more suspicion and criticism. "It has been successful because the number of students retained on this campus is higher than we thought it would be." Berkeley administrators also praise the program. "We think it is successful," commented Bob Brownell, UC Berkeley's associate director of admissions and records, "because we are placing otherwise eligible students at Santa Cruz with the option of coming back to Berkeley." Berkeley receives thousands of applica He said the men could have survived no longer than five hours in the 55-degree water and the Coast Guard decided it was "pointless" to continue. The frigates, two Dutch helicopters, two British Nimrod patrol planes, the Liberian-registered chemical tanker Stolt Castle, the Greek tanker Fantasy and a U.S. C-130 cargo plane took part in the search.

The ships had been unable to get close enough to what remained of the Victory because of the rough water. Violence The incident, police believed, was in retaliation for an earlier clash between Westside and Eastside youth gangs. During the initial confrontation between the two gangs, Alvarez' son, Martin, 18, was stabbed in the chest. He recovered and the shooting incident occurred approximately one week later. Alvarez, an attractive dark-haired woman, said she was "surprised" when the gang-related violence encircled her son.

She knew he spent a lot of time with a group of teen-agers ho had met at Santa Cruz High School, but she had no idea police believed them to be members of the Westside youth gang. "I didn't know the things that were going on outside my home," said Alvarez. "They were just a group of boys who went to school together, who were raised together." When her son was arrested, she swung into action. She didn't want him to be shut away in the wasteland of state prisons where first-time offenders often become hardened criminals. Two other youths had been sent to prison prior to her son's arrest and she saw how the courts had treated them.

(AP) Six people died Saturday when two small planes flying through a foggy Pacific storm crashed just five hours apart, authorities reported. There were no survivors of the unrelated crashes and a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said he did not yet know why either plane went down. The first crash, involving a single-engine Reechcraft flying from San Jose to Las Vegas, killed four people, according to Santa Clara Sheriff's Deputy Ted Marchlevski.

It occurred about 11 30 a m. in a remote area outside this city, 65 miles southeast of San Francisco, Marchlevski said. Coroners investigators had to hike three miles to reach the crash scene and were carrying the victims' bodies out Saturday night with the aid of lanterns and stretchers, a coroners spokesman said.
