Bargainers for Ford and the UAW were apart only on voluntary overtime issue.
A source at Local 600, which has 34,000 members in the Detroit area, said Ford put a new offer on the table.
It was unacceptable only in the area of voluntary overtime, the source said.
The other key issue of retirement after 25 years with full pension benefits for 9,000 foundry workers had been resolved.
UAW President Leonard Woodock sent a telegram to all Ford locals telling workers to stay on the job if there is a national agreement today, regardless of whether local disputes have been settled.

A major U.S. oil co. spokesman said Arab oil cutback will have serious impact
The cutback will be felt in the United States within the next few weeks, said the spokesman, who asked not to be identified.
The outbucks announced so far by Middle East and North African countries as a result of the Arab-Israeli war mean their crude-oil production will be reduced by 4.7 million barrels a day during the rest of October and November, he said.
The United States receives only 4 per cent of its crude oil and products from the Middle East, according to federal figures. The spokesman said, however, that it should not be taken for granted that all U.S. oil ships on or off shore oil shipments to offisure refineries outside the United States that traditionally supply the American market.
Soviets Accept Peace Force

WASHINGTON-U.S. military forces were put on alert status yesterday as the administration sought to keep the Soviet Union from intervening in the Middle East.
The Russians later agreed to stay out of the area in favor of a peace-keeping force in the region.
The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution to dispatch a peace-keeping force to the Middle East that will not include American, Russian or other major power
According to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, President Nixon ordered the alert as a precautionary measure after American officials noticed an "ambiguity in some of the actions and statements" by the Russians.
Kissinger declined to give details on the reasons for the alert but referred to troop movements within the Soviet Union and the United States, who representatives at the United Nations.
In a lengthy news conference yesterday
WITHOUT SAYING so directly, Kissinger indicated that a Soviet agreement to keep out of a peace-keeping force would lead to the relaxing of the U.S. military alert.
"The alert will not last one moment longer than absolutely necessary and will be lifted as soon as there is no threat of unilateral action" by the Soviets, Kissinger said. "The situation will be 'precaunutary in nature', and that the chances for peace remain promising.
As Kissinger spoke, the battlefield situation remained ambiguous. Egypt claimed Israel forces continued to attack Suez Canal's west bank in the southern end of the Suzie Canal's west bank.
Kissinger Says Alert Not Watergate Cover
By BROOKS JACKSON Associated Press Reporter
WASHINGTON - Denying that the White House is "playing with the lives of the American people," Secretary of State Henry Kissinger kingly rejected yesterday any suggestion that the U.S. military alert obscure the still-billowing Watergate affair.
President Nixon postponed today until a news conference on Watergate as new disclosures of scandal surfaced and the president announced new demands for a new special prosecutor.
Melvin Laird, Nixon's top domestic adviser was asked in Chicago if another woman had been killed.
Kissinger, speaking at a State Department news conference, was asked whether domestic problems had prompted Nixon to call yesterday's early-morning military
THE WHITE HOUSE said Nick had been too busy with the Middle East crisis to hold meeting.
He replied, "Because it's a question of great public concern, it may be, and probably will be, that action will be taken." But Laird said "personally I'd rather keep it within the Justice Department."
"We are attempting to conduct the foreign policy of the United States with caution," Mr. Bush said. "It is a symptom of what is happening in this country that it even could be suggested
Kissinger said, "There has to be a minimum of confidence that the senior officials of the American government are not playing with the lives of the American people."
Several leading Senate Democrats pressed for creation of a special prosecutor who could not be fired by the President, and House Republicans urged Xionk to appoint his own replacement for ousted Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox.

There was a swirl of new Watergate-related developments yesterday:
Public-interest groups have alleged in a lawsuit that the administration granted the increase as a political payoff to the dairy lobby in return for more than $400,000 the lobby alleged gave to Nixon's re-election campaign.
Motorists who discovered last summer that gas was in short supply may be in for another unpleasant surprise this winter; a shortage of antifreeze may develop.
Good says that he's unsure about the possibility of a price increase for antifreeze.
Although a check of local automotive outlets this week showed that antifreeze is now readily available, some dealers say that there is a strong possibility that a critical shortage may develop before the end of winter.
Don Boyd, automotive department manager of Montgomery Ward, says the store has been notified by its supplier that there is a shortage of antifreeze.
The supplier cancelled Ward's most recent order for antifreeze, Boyd says. Since then the store has limited customers to the purchase of four gallons of antifreeze
Dealers Fear Antifreeze Shortage
"Apparently the manufacturers of glycol can get more money from the textile industry than they can from the automotive industry." he says.
The different demands for ethylene glycol are what may result in a shortage, Good
through this winter because of a large supply of antifreeze purchased last summer.
"The antifreeze business has been extremely competitive over the years and it's almost a nonprofit item for a lot of places that handle it," he says.
Boyd says that he doesn't anticipate having enough to last through the winter.

However, Don Wilson, manager of Vanessa Supply No. 6, says he isn't ruining his relationship.
According to Norman Good, head of the automotive department at Gibson's, the primary base for permanent antifreeze—that is, solvent used in the manufacture of polyester fibers.
Lawrence James, manager of Larry's Auto Supply, has never stocked antifreeze in the past. This year, however, he ordered a new distributor. The order has yet to be filled.
"We are still looking for more," he says.
"There are a few places where you can buy antireflect if you want to pay for it," he says. He declined to name those places.
Montgomery Ward has already felt the sting of an antifreeze shortage.
so it is uncertain whether there will be an antifreeze shortage in Lawrence this
Wilson says his supplier is a company in Kansas City.
"I haven't noticed a shortage," he says.
"Isn't her out, but does trouble, getting it."
"We ordered from their warehouse two months ago," he says.
It was learned that the President's onetime personal lawyer, Herbert W. Kalmbach, has told investigators he probably relayed word to the White House about a secret $10,000 gift from Howard B. Nixon to Nixson's friend, C. G. "Bob" Rebuiz.
EVEN IF A SHORTAGE develops, Good says, Gibson's possibly could make it
—SEN. EDWARD J. GURNEY, R-Fla., a strong Nixon supporter on the State Waterey committee, asked the President to name former Atty. ges. Elliott L. Richardson to take Cox's place. Richardson resigned Saturday rather than fire Cox. Gurney said he made a mistake in first anlanding the firing.
At the same time, he laid out a parallel U.S. attitude of conciliation. "We do not now consider ourselves in a confrontation with the Soviet Union," he said, adding that the United States "is not yet prepared" to say its limits have been surpassed.
Kalmbach, according to an informed source, said he believed he did this in mid-1972, at least six months before Nixon went on his hearing about the controversial gift.
The Watergate special prosecution force, still jittery over last weekend's FBI takeover of its files, asked a federal court to prevent such an action from happening again. The order would put the files in the custody of U.S. District Court, to be
"Iresent any attempt to exploit the policy or to exacerbate conflicts," Kissinger said.
THE SECURITY COUNCIL resolution, the third such action since the fighting broke out Oct. 6, provided that none of the five nations permanently represented on the council would be used in any peace-keeping force.
Israel again refused to allow U.N. observers into the Egypt, said Agent.
The issue of big-power forces, particularly those from the United States and the Soviet Union, became a major problem when Egypt asked for a joint American-Russian troop contingent to police the cease-fire.
To do so, the secretary indicated, would test the limit of U with impressum to continue testing.
He expressed even stronger opposition to the unilateral introduction of troops "by any great power, especially by any nuclear power."
"IT IS INCONCEIVABLE," he said, "that the forces of the great powers should be introduced in the numbers that would be intended to overpower both of the participants."
Kissinger spoke solemnly of the responsibilities of the nuclear powers to keep their differences within boundaries that do not threaten mankind.
In a speech Wednesday night, Soviet U.N. representative Jacob Malik said the request was justifiable. The White House immediately ruled out such an action.
HE SAID THE United States and the Soviet Union have "a very special responsibility" to remain within these bounds, although they are ideological ad-

—The administration got word sometime Wednesday night that the Soviets might move unilaterally to enforce with troops the Middle East cease-fire. Kissinger would not discuss how this became known.

Other U.S. government officials said intelligence reports indicated that the Russians had alerted some of their airborne units in Eastern Europe.

Coupled with this information, sources said, was an unexplained increase in the Soviet airlift to Egypt, suggesting the Russians might be flying troops to Cairo.
- DELIBERATIONS DURING the night led to a White House decision to alert Congress that orders were relayed to military units beginning shortly after midnight. At 3 a.m. yesterday, Kissinger said, the National Security Council agreed unanimously on the action alert.
As military men obeyed the alert order, the action became known publicly. There was no official announcement of the order until late yesterday morning.

before the new crisis. The congressional leaders emerged describing the alert as a precautionary move. The Pentagon and House later emphasized the same point.
Little more than an hour later, Jacob Malik, Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, said the Russians would agree to meet with Mr. Putin that it wouldn't include big-power troops.
Kissinger gave his news conference nine hours before President Nixon had been scheduled to hold one. Nixon, however, was not in the race, because of Middle East developments.
Kissinger said that until Wednesday there was no major indication of Soviet willingness to do anything but cooperate in fighting and starting overall negotiations.
WITH SOVIET support of the new U.N. resolution, "the United States would feel we are back on the road that had been charted earlier this week," he said.
All parties remain in accord on this, Kissinger said, and the United States and Russia have agreed that they will act as "the annotorie auspices."
what he was talking about was a U.N. Security Council resolution sponsored by the United States and the Soviet Union after Kissinger spent last weekend in Moscow talking with Soviet Communist party leader Leonid Brezhnye.
The resolution called for a cease-fire in place as of Oct. 22 and the beginning of Arab-Israeli negotiations on a final settlement under "appropriate auspices."
HE REPORTED THE negotiating process could begin "in a matter of a very small chance."
The American military alert summoned many U.S. servicemen from home leaves and vacations. Most of the Air National Guard units, responsible for defending U.S. borders, called in their men, including pilots, mechanics and maintenance men.
Two units placed on the highest degree of alert were the Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, N.C., and the Strategic Air Command's B52 bomber units near Omaha, Neb, and at other bases around the country.
Near Friberg, West Germany, some U.S. troops traveled into forward positions along the East German border. Army sources reported that the Germans along the so-called Fulda Gap, described as an ancient and often-used invasion route from Eastern Europe.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—The Security Council voted 14 to 0 yesterday to police the Middle East cease-fire with a U.N. emergency force that excludes troops from the Soviet Union, the United States and the three other nuclear powers.
The council then authorized the immediate dispatch of U.N. peace-keeping troops from their bases on Cyprus in the Mediterranean as an interim step to start supervision of the shaky cease-fire between Israel and Arab forces.

U.N. to Send Peace Force To Middle East
Clubs to Lose Liquor Licenses
Two Lawrence private clubs will lose their Class-A liquor licenses as a result of a recent crackdown by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Sanctuary, 1401 W. 7th St., and The Shire, 1020 Massachusetts St., have been notified that their Class-A licenses won't be renewed because they are spin-off clubs to which the IRS hasn't directly granted tax exempt status.
E. V.D. Murphy, director of Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), said Monday that Kansas law stipulated that clubs must be considered non-profit organizations by the IRS before the state could grant them Class-A licenses.
A class-A license in effect allows liquor by the drink. It permits a club to stock liquor for its members.
CLUB MEMBERS BUY into a liqueur poo, and the price of each subsequent drink is subtracted from the original investment. The amount paid to zero, he must reinvest for more drinks.
Murphy said the IRS crackdown was in response to increasing numbers of clubs that have branched out from base clubs to which IRS exemption had been given.
Both Johnson and Jean Murphy, owner of
Jon Pence, ABC enforcement officer,
said Wednesday that in the past private
clubs had been allowed to obtain Class-A
licenses by using an exemption given to
another organization when there was a
catering agreement between the two or
when the organization held a lease on the
club.
Johnson said he had received his license through an exempted organization, the Congregation to The Sanctuary.
Pence said these arrangements wouldn't be permitted any longer.
HARRISON "ACE" JOHNSON, owner of the Sanctuary, said Monday that the crackdown would prevent him from renewing his claim against him he had been a victim of an IRS exemption.
Murphy said the issue was too sensitive and refused to comment.
A Class-B license allows a member to bring his own bottle to his class but doesn't permit him to buy another.
The Shire, said they would apply for a Class-B license;
"It's long past the time we should have buried Carrie Nation."
"I don't know anyone who would mind paying a nickel tax per drink," he said. "This could easily mean $15 to $20 a day for the state from each club."
"It's imperative we revamp our private club laws because they are very imperative," Johnson said. "The bookwork required by the liquid pool system slows business tremendously and costs me over $1,000 a month."
Johnson said dry forces have opposed liquor by the drink because they feared liquor would be forced on them, so they force their walls on the rest of us.
The force's 897 men from Austria, Finland and Sweden were placed under the command of Maj. Gen. Enis Siosluasuo of Finland, who is already in charge of the 221-norman U.N. observer force now in the Middle East.
The new U.N. emergency force was proposed by eight small and medium-sized countries in a move to averit the possibility of a U.S.Soviet confrontation and to back up two earlier Security Council cease-fire appeals.
