The NAPA REGISTER 11 U.S. Employees Face Layoffs Friday, November 5, 1982 Ceameadoeaira Chrysler Wrlkers Ora strike against Chrysler in recent years has lasted more than a few days. Canadian UAW director Robert White said Iacocca made no new wage offer during their hourlong meeting. Negotiators for both sides met Thursday for 30 minutes but talks broke off with no plans for resumption. Ontario Labor Minister Russell Ramsay said Thursday the government was not considering back-to-work legislation.

But he left the door open for future action if the strike is a protracted one. TORONTO (UPI) Chrysler Canadas 10,000 workers went on strike in three Ontario centers today and the struggling U.S automaker said it will begin layoffs in the United States next week in anticipation of a lengthy and costly walkout. Both the company and the union said workers walked off the job at 9:55 a.m. EST at plants in Windsor, Toronto and Ajax in a pay dispute that threatens to cause Chryslers downfall. Chrysler immediately responded by announcing it will begin laying off workers in the United States on Mon day in an attempt to blunt the impact of what was expected to be a long and costly strike.

This strike will have a swift and devastating affect on the company, our employees and their families, and the communities they live in, Chrysler chief negotiator William Fisher said shortly after the walkout began. Fisher said the Canadian strike would lead to staggered shutdowns of some U.S. plants that supply the Canadian operations and other facilities which use Canadian-produced supplies. The parent company will be affected as early as Monday morning, he said. Some of the feeder plants in the U.S.

will be shut down starting Monday. The strike by 10,000 workers became inevitable Wednesday when personal intervention by Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca failed to sway the United Auto Workers of Canada to back off on demands for higher pay. We are, of course, available to resume negotiations at any time, Canadian UAW Director Robert White said. There is no schedule for dian shop He said the Canadian union had received telegrams from American autoworkers urging us to stay the course.

Iacocca, who personally intervened in the talks Wednesday, failed to sway the United Auto Workers of Canada and avert the strike. In a letter to employees, Iacocca said, "We will take a strike if we must, even though we are aware it could put us out of business. No resuming negotiations. There was no indication that Chrysler had changed its position one iota. The shutdown of Chryslers Windsor facilities also will idle 6,000 Detroit foundry workers.

The Ajax plant supplies trim for all Chrysler vehicles manufactured in North America, meaning a prolonged strike could affect all 43,000 active Chrysler employees in the United States. White said there is strong support among the rank and file for the strike and "weve gotten an enormous number of telegrams from the Cana Pope Asks For Ag Reform Unofficial Tally Gives Thompson Governor's Seat The first beatification outside the Vatican was carried out by the pope in the Philippines last year. The popes visit to Spains southern Andalusia region came on the sixth day of his tour of 10-day, 17-city tour of the nation that began Sunday. Andalusia, a province first colonized by the Phoenicians in the 3rd century B.C., came under Arab domination in the 8th century A.D. after first converting to Christianity under the Roman Empire.

First reaction from the Stevenson camp indicated the results could be challenged in the official election canvass, to be certified by Nov. 22. Dave Gilbert, Thompson's press secretary, said it was the "most fantastic news weve received since Tuesday. Gilbert said the final figures released by Kusper and tabulated by NES tracked almost to the vote the unofficial count by the Thompson forces.

However, Gilbert declined to say if Thompson would claim victory at a news conference set for 2 p.m. EST. Stevenson campaign attorney John Schmidt said unofficial returns tabulated by the Stevenson camp showed the challenger with an "extremely slim majority.

The pope made the call during a two-hour mass investing a 20th century Seville nun, Angela of the Cross, as a blessed of the Roman Catholic church one step below sainthood. The beatification of Sister Angela, who founded an order that practices self-flagellation, marked only the second time in church history that a blessed has been proclaimed outside the Vatican. Speaking from a soaring outdoor altar capped by a soi'l silver centerpiece, John Paul saiu Spanish agriculture "continues to be the stepchild of economic development.

"For this reason, he told the congregation in a field outside Seville, the government must confront the urgent problems of the agricultural sector. The pope, who frequently has spoken on the problems faced by workers, said the government should adjust prices and costs to make the sector profitable, by providing subsidiary industries and promoting change in order to free the rural world from the anguished plague of unemployment. John Paul made his call for agricultural reform in Seville because the surrounding Andalusia region suffers 20 percent unemployment in the decaying farm sector. It was the second time since he arrived in Spain that John Paul has offered the Socialist government elected last week pointed advice on controversial political issues. In Madrid Tuesday, he in effect told Teen Kidnapper Sentenced years to come.

The White House said the nomination of Hodel, an under secretary of the Interior since 1981, would be submitted to the lame-duck session of Congress later this year. Speakes said Reagan remains committed to his campaign promise to disband the Department of Energy. Hodel, of Lake Oswego, has served in several government positions and as a private attorney. As a consultant, he worked with the National Electric Reliability Council and has been a delegate to the World Energy Conference. Walters would replace Robert Nim-mo who resigned last month under pressure from veterans groups.

Reagan selected Hodel as energy secretary despite opposition from environmental groups because of his strong advocacy of commercial nuclear power development. WASHINGTON (UPI) Energy Secretary James Edwards officially resigned his Cabinet post today and President Reagan appointed Interior Department official Donald Hodel to succed him. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Edwards letter of resignation, effective at 5 p.m. EST today, was accepted by Reagan "with deep regret. In another development, an administration official who asked not to be identified, said Harry Walters, an assistant Army secretary, would be named in a few days as head of the Veterans Administration.

"You have met many challenges over the past 20 months and contributed a great deal of progress toward Americas secure energy future, the president wrote Edwards.

The two male co-defendants in the case Bruce Young, 21, and Salvador Sanchez, 22 have filed motions in Yolo County Superior Court to have their trial moved out of the county in the belief that pretrial publicity has prejudiced their chance for a fair trial. Shearer acknowleged during the sentencing hearing that the goal in cases involving juveniles is rehabilitiation, but added that protection of society was a necessary disciplinary response for this terrible crime. Miss Eakle's attorney had argued that her family problems contributed to her criminal action and counseling would serve her needs better than incarceration.

But the babys father, Charles Huff, told the judge he wanted the maximum penalty levied for Miss Eakle's appalling action in holding his child out a van window curing a police chase. Huff said his wife, Marcia, still has nightmares about the day. The kidnappers had demanded a 815,000 ransom for the baby, who was rescued unharmed after the highspeed pursuit on Interstate 5.

Tosaw, who left the FBI before the skyjacking, became interested in the case PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) A former FBI agent, fascinated by the 11-year-old legend of skyjacker D.B.

Cooper, plans to search the Columbia River where he believes the still missing Cooper left some of his 2200,000 ransom. Richard Tosaw also has entered into an agreement with four brothers who own farm land west of Portland to search an area in which part of the 8200,000 ransom paid by Northwest Airlines on Thanksgiving Eve 1971 was found. after the money was found and decided Cooper landed nearby, some nine miles west of Vancouver. He wants someone to drag the river with grappling hooks to try to snag Coopers parachute, his body or anything else that divers could then check. My theory is that the parachute would be easiest to find because it's 28 feet across and with nylon cords and a canvas harness, Tosaw said.
