(AP)Five fellow workers were killed today by a berserk paper mill employe who led police on a trail of bullets and blood before he was captured. Eight persons were wounded in the hail of lead. Leo Held, 39-year-old lab technician for the Hammermill Paper barricaded himself in his nearby Loganton home after his wild and apparently unconnected shootings. He engaged in a shootout with a dozen state and local police. Bullets struck him in the arms and legs as he sprayed answering shots at the officers before they broke into the house and seized him.

His condition at Lock Haven Hospital was not serious. The shootings began without warning at the Hammermill plant located on the edge of this semi-industrial farm community in Central Pennsylvania. Police said Held fired quickly, but very accurately, cutting down nine persons. Five were pronounced dead at the hospital. Three others are in critical condition.

Then he ran out to his parked station wagon and drove a mile to the Lock Haven Airport, where the Piper Aircraft Co. plant is located. There he fired once, striking a girl office worker as she started to open the Piper company door. Police said Held drove off again, apparently heading straight for his Loganton home, 17 miles southeast. En route, he pumped out more bullets from weapons he sure how many he had in the wounded three other persons.

It was reported that police found three rifles and four pistols in Held's house after he was seized. Fresh U.S. Troops Land In Battle Zone Auto Union Votes Steel Haulers Bolster Units In On $1-Billion Pact DETROIT (AP) Top officials of the United Auto Workers today prepared for a ratification vote on a new contract with the Ford Motor Co. which could cost Ford close to a billion dollars in the next three years. Ford executives made plans to get cars rolling off assembly lines if the strike, now in its 47th day and longest in the history, ends some time this week.

The Ford Council meets tonight and ratification votes by members are planned for Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ford plants in 25 states. The council, made up of key officials in Ford locals, meets again at 8 p.m. Wednesday, to pass on the vote. Ford said the contract will raise wages 454 to 904 cents an hour over its three- year span. The union estimates that its 20.000 skilled tradesmen at Ford will average $1.02 more hourly.

At the rate of $1 an hour increase in wages, fringe benefits and premium pay, the new tract would cost Ford $2,000 more per year for each of its 160,000 workers, thus close to a billion dollars in the years of the contract. Here are the major gains in the new contract: Compensation a a n- teeing workers, depending on seniority, as much as 95 per cent of their annual wage, less $7.50 weekly work-related expenses, regardless of layoffs. An immediate raise of 20 cents an hour added to the $3.43 the average Ford workers now gets. Skilled workers get an additional increase of 30 cents an hour, making a 50-cent total. All workers get a 3 per cent raise during each of the last two years of the three-year pact.

Depending on a seniority, the raise will be between 94 and 174 cents. Ford has agreed to guarantee at least six cents an hour in cost-of-living increases during the last two years of the contract. No new cost-of-living allowances will be paid during the first year of the contract. Trick-Treat Night Set; CROP Program Endorsed Today's News In Brief PRINCETON, N.J.
