' DETROIT, July 22 (mFna moves are underway to enable the CIO United Auto Workers to pull the Ford Motor Co. produc tion employes out on a waga strike. ; Michigan's labor mediation' board Is preparing for a secret strike poll of the 75,000 Ford workers In this state. A strike to back ud current wage and contract demands in cluding $100a-month pensions , already has been approved in a UAW-conducted vote among 106, 000 Ford employes. That poll showed that they are 7 to 1 in favor of a walkout, if necessary, although they were idle for 24 days In a speed-up strike that shut down Ford plants in May. But the state balloting Is nec essary to comply with terms of Michigan's Bonine-Tripp labor law. In other states, the strike vote conducted by the union is ample authorization for a walkout, and Ford workers may. be called out by the UAW executive board at anv lime. The UAW filed a 10-day strike notice with the mediations board yesterday, but said it would take no walkout action until the vote was completed. That may re quire three weeks, board chair man Noel P. Fox said. Once such a vote is taken, there will be no legal barrier in the wov of a strike. Economic obstacles, too, are being cleared away by the union. Last week at Milwaukee, the auto workers International convention approved a special assessment which could ouiia up a iu,uuu, 000 strike fund. Ford has been singled out by the UAW as its first target In a drive for health and welfare ben efits and a fourth-round wage in crease as well as the pensions. The Ford contract expired July 15. but is being continued on a day to day basis. 3 Days Of Laborious Search Retrieves Ring CHICAGO, July 22 OP) A search which was much like looking for a needle in a hay stack uncovered a lost $1,500 ring.
