Chrysler Corp. Proposes
Wage Cuts For UAW
DETROIT UPi — A proposal by
Chrysler Corp. that wages and
salaries be reduced in certain job
classifications was presented to
! the United Auto Workers Union
j today.
The proposal was that wages be
reduced for future employes at its
six defense plants in order to
keep pay scales competitive. It:
also proposed reducing starting 1
salaries for office and engineer- j
ing workers on grounds such sal
aries currently are higher than
those at competitors.
Norman Matthews, UAW vice
| president and director of its
Chrysler department, replied “My
I answer is a flat ‘no’ to both of
; them. These are proposals for
wage cuts and I have absolutely
no enthusiasm for wage cuts.”
A Chrysler spokesman said no
wage cuts would result but em
ployes hired in the future would
get a pay rate “comparable to
similar jobs in other companies.”
After nearly 2Vfe weeks of bar
gaining, the UAW and the auto
companies have come to grips on
j issues that could lead to a strike
! in the auto industry if they aren’t
settled by the end of next month.
The issues represent the union’s
] bread-and-butter demands—high
er wages and improved fringe
| benefits.

|To Study Results
Of Detonations At
Cape Thompson
A series of six 1,000 pound
chemical (non-nuclear* high ex
j plosive detonations is planned for
next year as part of engineering
studies for the Atomic Energy
j Commission’s proposed Chariot
! experiment near Cape Thompson.
1 Holes for the explosives will be
! drilled this summer at depths
i ranging from 17 to 27 feet.
The work is a continuation of
I similar high explosive experi
mentation conducted last fall near
the Chariot camp site at Ogotoruk
Creek. Its purpose is to provide
basic engineering data on the
characteristics of frozen mud
stone and to refine estimates on
the cratering effects of explosives
in relation to the depth of burial.
Project Chariot, is a part of
the Commission’s Plowshare pro
gram to investigate the feasibility
of using nuclear explosives for
peaceful purposes. The Commis
sion will study this engineering
data, along with environmental
and other technical data, to deter
mine whether or not the detona
tion of nuclear explosives in an
excavation experiment would be
feasible and safe a Ogotoruk
Creek.
The Commission would approve
conduct of the Chariot experiment
only if there is assurance that
it will not jeopardize the local in
habitants or the plant and animal
species from which they derive
their livelihood. Final authoriza
tion for use of nuclear explosives
would be the decision of the
President.
The high explosive work will
be under the technical direction
of the Commission’s Lawrence
Radiation Laboratory, Livermore,
operated by the University of
California. The drilling will be
done by the Cold Regions Re
search and Engineering Labora
tory of the Army Corps of Engi
neers whioh will use a special
technique to prevent melting of
the permafrost.
The explosions will take place
over a period of several weeks to
permit measuring the crater
width and depth of each hole. It
is not expected that the material
will be thrown beyond 75 feet
by the explosions.
Graham Still Undergoing
Treatment for Frostbite
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. UP)—
A 65-year-old retired stockbroker,
who headed a successful climb
to the top of Alaska’s 20,320-foot
ML McKinley, is still recovering
from an attack of frostbite.
John D. Graham is undergoing
treatment for damage to the tips
of two fingers. All his fingers
were harmed when took off his
gloves for 30 seconds atop the
peak to put on a face mask.
He says the temperature was
40 degrees below zero, with the
wind at 80 miles an hour.
He made the climb — 28 days
on the mountain — with two
Swiss climbers and a forest
ranger earlier this year.
