CooIing-0ff Period
Called in Deadlock
OF Ford and UAW
BY the Associoted Press


DETROIT, May %. - Attempts
to end the 18-day Ford strike
stood still today as both sides sat
back and waited for the Govern
ment to bring them together
again.
Federal mediators said they
were confident" that sessions
could be resumed soon following
a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Negotiations ended abruptly
shortly before midnight last night
They were still deadlocked after
II days of heated debate.
Both the CIO- United Auto
Workers and the Ford Motor Co.
accepted a mediator's proposal for
the cooling off period. Each side
said it would be willing to return
later to the bargaining table at
Government request.
Contract Talks Demanded,
The breakup followed the
unions demand that Ford begin
negotiations on new contract
today. This would have meant
double -barreled sessions. with
talks on the strike issue contin-
uing.
The strike, which began may 5,
was called over a union charge
of a production "speed-up." About
5000 Ford workers in two De-
troit plants walked out. Almost
all of Ford's 100000 production
employees now are idle.
Walter Reuther. UAW president,
threatened to end all talks last
night if Ford would not agree to
contract bargaining Immediately
Ford still refused and negotiations
were halted.
"At the request of the Govern
ment, we are not breaking off but
recessing!s Mr.. Reuther said.
This is a nice way Of walking out
OF here"
Observers believed the state
ment was softening OF the
unions original threat.
Federal Mediator Arthur c.
Wat said he did not know yet
when the. Government would
schedule further sessions. There
was no indication from Mr.. Reu-
ther as to whether the UAW still
would insist on contract talks be-
fore resuming strike negotiations
John S. Bugas. Ford industrial
relations director, said his (firm
was) mot prepared to talk on
the contract before June /. The
mediator requested the recess be-
cause we found ourselves dead
locked" Then, more hopefully,
he added:
I'VE are fairly optimistic that
by more talks we might get to-
gether on all the other issues
once we are over the hump"
The two big problems in the
dispute, the union and company
agreed, still remain. They CEN
tered around two union demands:
THAT the company operate
assembly lines so that no man at
any time would be required to
work above production standards.
production standards set the
amount of work that is expected
of one man within a certain limit
of time.)
2-That no worker be required
to make up production losses
resulting from factors over which
he has no control.
