Kelvinator Workers Leave Jobs; Union Contract Not Signed : Detroit -' (LTD American Motors Corp. was left without a union contract today when negotiators ' failed to agree upon a new pact to cover the company's 14.P0Q production workers before a 10 a.m. ex piration hour. Immediately after the old contract expired, 1,600 of the corporation's - employees at the Kelvinator plant in Grand Rapids, Mich., left their jobs. The workers, mem bers of United Auto Workers Union Local 206, immediately set up picket lines outside the big appliance manufacturing plant. The deadline came one .hour' later in the Wisconsin plants because of a time zone difference." United Auto Workers ne gotiatprs , representing the workers were locked in a marathon session with AMC bargainers in an attempt to reach a new contract agree ment before the old ope ex pired. The expiration of the Accident Victim Returning Home Mrs. John B. Clark, Hono lulu, ' T.H., who was injured in an automobile accident north of Grants Pass recently, was flown to San Francisco last night, on the first leg pf her trip home. Mrs. . Clark, who suffered back injuries which paralyzed her from the waist down, has been hospitalized in Grants Pass. Last night she was brought to the Medford air port, loaded aboard a Mercy Flights, Inc., air ambulance plane, and flown . to the Bay city, to meet a Pan America l flight fpr Hawaii, which left at " midnight. Her husband, a Navy vet eran, and their two children, escaped serious injury in the crash, and preceded Mrs. Clark to San Francisco. She was the 880th patient carried by planes of the non-profit air ambulance corporation. Three other patients were transported by Mercy Flights planes earlier yesterday. They were Mrs. Mildred Brown, Gold Hill, who was taken to Portland for emer gency medical attention, and two" -Camp White members, Carl A. Palmquist and Robert G.

The negotistors for both sides had been meeting in continuous session since 9:30 a.m. Thursday. A union spokesman ex plained that the 10 a.m. dead line was for expiratioon of the contract only and not a definite strike - deadline. But he said the local . unions would be free . to . strike if there was no contract be tween the company and tlie union. - - . A strike at this time would be particularly bad for AMC. It reported an increase in its employment from 13,000 to 14,000 today and only Thurs day announced it was increas ing its production quotas by 13 "per cent, from 1,020 cars a day to 1,150. The negotiators were tight lipped about any progress in the talks because of a news blackout - agreed ; by both sides until an agreement was reached. But it was learned an extension of a two-year contract reached earlier to cover certain aspects of the working conditions of 1,500 AMC employees at its Kelvi nator plant i at Grand Rapids to three years to' match the duration of the -over-all cqn tract was the major remain ing issue. The partial agreement call ed for AMC to pay the Kel vinator workers bonuses in lieu of vacations and the workers in return would fore go cost of living escalator pay increases and other benefits which normally- would have accrued to them during the two-year duration of the cqn tract. The plan was that the workers would be able to draw unemployment com pensation during layoffs caused by model changeovers and the amount of unemplqy nient compensation they re ceived would be deducted from their bonuses. . Michigan Atty. Gen. Paul Adams threw a monkey wrench into the plan, how ever, when he ruled the work ers could not draw unemplqy ment compensation under the agreement. This meant the company would have to pay the full bonuses to the work ers but the agreement .still stands.

Four jail guards were beat en by the rioters,( but they were not injured seriously. The prisoners took no host ages, and they never had a chance to escape.

By 9:10 p.m., guards reported they had shaken down the last of the rioters and returned them to their cells. Reason Not Known Authorities ssid they had not established the reason for the riot.

There's go ing to be no more picture Shpws and they can eat in their cells.". The maximum security building, one of five, houses 108 of the Denver County jail's 738 inmates.
