FINT, Mich. (AP)--Members of the United Auto Workers were to vote today on a settlement aimed at ending a Chevrolet strike here which threatened pro- {duction at plants throughout the| | United States and in Canada. In Oshawa, a company spokes- man said Saturday morning that a settlement would mean that there would be no interruption in production. On Friday it was announced that the plant would be forced to close down in a week if the strike continued in Flint. No plans were made to cut overtime, it was said Friday, be- cause it was not definite that the strike would continue. | In the U. 8., Saturday overtime at eight Chevrolet and Fisher body plants was cancelled. Spoke- sman said it was done to con- serve parts made by the strike- bound plant. The strike threatened a shut- down in Oshawa because a num- ber of essential parts for Chev- rolet and Pontiac cars are made in Flint and shipped to Oshawa. Among them are fender skirts, a variety of braces and fender mouldings Union Members Must Approve ed an agr t Friday night, but it must be approved by the members of UAW Local 659. However, plant manager Grosvenor Swift said he expected all operations .at the plant to re- sume on regular shifts Monday. E. S. Patterson, UAW regional director, said the union's bar- gaining team would recommend that the workers accept the agreement, The strike shut down the plant Wednesday. The plant makes six- cylinder engines for standard Chevrolets and produces other parts for cars and trucks. The UAW called out some 10, 000 workers in a dispute over pro- duction standards. Chevrolet said operation changes had been made in the crankshaft grinding depart- ment and work standards were changed for fewer than 20 men. The union called it a speedup. Neither side would reveal the terms of agreement. Ward's Automotive Reports, an industry reporting agency, said the strike was reflected in a de- cline of about 7,000 units in U.S. passenger car production this week, Chevrolet, which had plan. ned overtime operations at sev. General Motors and the UAW eral plants, cut back to five days.

QUIET ON SURFACE Algiers seemed on the surface today to be back to normal fol- lowing the collapse of the revolt Monday. But demonstrators were lying low, many of their leaders had been rounded up, and strict cen sorship was still being enforced. Several leaders of the demon- strators are under arrest or assigned to forced residence--and unofficial reports say policemen as well as civilians are being rounded up. Official sources said many of those on an original list of about 40 persons wanted by the author- ities had slipped away.
