Years Hits Ford
Hayes Drops
Knifing Case
Charges of assault with a deadly
weapon faced by two Myrtle Creek
men were dismissed this morning
in Douglas County District Court
by District Judge Gerald Hayes.
Billy T. Wimberly, 20. and Ray
Roy Wimberly. 18, were brought
to the court for a scheduled 9:30
a.m. preliminary hearing on com
plaints charging them with knif
ing and injuring four persons in a
roadside incident on Sept. 23.
Witness Missing
Verden llockett, deputy district
attorney, said one of the state wit
nesses under subpoena 'failed to
appear. Hockett said the missing
witness was "indispensable in the
state's case, and we asked for a
five-minute continuance to see if
the witness was available or in the
courthouse area."
The court denied the fivemin
uto continuance, and the stato re
fused to start introducing testi
mony without the witness. Judge
Hayes dismissed the case.
Hockett said new complaints,
charging the Wimherlys with as
sault with a dangerous weapon,
were filed immediately with the
justice court al Sutlierlin.
Bails High
Bail bond was set at $15,000 on
each man, both of whom are still
being held in the Douglas County
jail.
The district attorney's office was
obviously disturbed by the district
court action of dismissing the case.
"It is not unusual for a court to
grant a defendant a 30-minule con
tinuance," Hockett said.
Judge Hayes was not immediate
ly available for comment.

Negotiations
To Resume
Wednesday
DETROIT (AP) Ford -Motor
Co.'s 120.000 production workers
walked off the job today. It was
the first nationwide strike against
the company in 20 years.
Production workers went out on
strike when company and union
bargainers failed to reach a con
tract agreement hy the union's 10
a.m. strike deadline,
45,000 On Strike
Ford said 45.000 workers were
off the job at IB plants. The strike
is expected to shut down Ford's
85 plants across the nation.
Negotiations are to resume
Wednesday, however, after a 2t
hour recess.
The strike was orderly. In its
first hours there were no reports
of trouble as picket lines went up
at the factories.
Both Ford and the union de
plored the strike the first general
walkout against Ford since the
UAW's organizing strike of 1941.
As the strike hour came, UAW
President Walter P. Reuther told
newsmen: "There is currently in
effect a strike at the plants of the
Ford Motor Co. and we regret this
fact."
First In 20 Years
Malcolm L. Denise, a Ford vice
president and chief bargainer in
the negotiations said in a state
ment: "For the first time in the
20-year history of our relationship
with the CAW an authorized com-
:pany-wide strike has been called
! against Ford Motor Co. This strike
is entirely unnecessary."
J Marathon talks, headed by Reu
ther for the LAW and Denise for
Ford, broke up at the 10 a.m.
strike deadline in disagreement
i over-national non-economic issues,
i including plant working conditions.
' AU economic issues, including
pay rates, had been settled on the
general basis of the earlier UAW
' settlement with General Motors
(Corp.
I At GencraL Motors the union
; also had struck over local-level
non-economic issues, idling the
bulk of GM's 350.000 workers for
almost two weeks last month.
At GM the union got an econom
ic settlement, which it said meant
more than 12 cents an hour in
take-home pay to the GM workers,
each year of the three-year con
tract. More From Ford
The union said it got more from
Ford on economic matters than it
did at GM. Prior to the start o(
Ford talks the union said it would
demand more of Ford.
Denise emphasized in his state
ment that Fold had improved
over GM.
"It is not over economic issues,"
Denise said of the strike. "The
LAW has told us that these were
resolved. Our economic offer ex
ceeds the General Motors settle
ment." "The issues that separate the
parties." Denise said, "relate li
contractual matters that are ol
basic importance to the company
and its ability to compete effec
tively in this highly competitive
industry. "We are hopeful that the
strike can be settled quickly and
we are prepared to do everything
within reason to accomplish that
end."
Reuther said Ford had agreed
to improvements over GM in sup
plemental unemployment benefits
and insurance.
