Current three - year contracts between the UAW and the three auto makers have only 17 more days to run. The UAW's international ex- ecutive board authorized the taking of strike votes among workers at a special strategy meeting Sunday. At the same time, the board turned down a request for a sim- ilar vote among members em- ployed by American Motors, the only auto maker thus far to of- fer a new wage package. Amer- ican offered a profit sharing plan which the UAW demanded| 10 days at most. Executive board members expressed con- fidence that strike approval would be forthcoming. CONTRACTS EXPIRE Contracts at GM, Ford and Chrysler expire Aug. 31. The un- ion's executive board said it would meet again Aug. 29 to fix a strike target if progress is not made meanwhile on new pacts. Under the UAW's constitution, subsequent executive board ap- proval would be necessary to make a strike legal and make members eligible for benefits from a strike fund that now ex- ceeds $42,000,000. In the past, the union has gone all-out to win a new con- tract from one company and then bring the others to that pattern.

The conference of Sept. 1, 1864, led to confederation 34 months later. Today's talks will be chiefly aimed at organizing something almost as historic--a council of the provinces. Key men behind the move are UAW President Walter Reu- ther said in a statement follow- ing a board meeting that, while | American Motors' profit sharing proposal "does not represent an acceptable offer," it laid a basis for further discussion. He said the union is giving the offer careful consideration. Negotiators returned to the bargaining table today at ford and chrysler. They return to- morrow at general motors. All the big three have an- nounced they will not sign new contracts which would be infla- tionary and result in higher car prices.

Observers see the council idea as a means of organizing pro- vincial pressure in dealings with the federal governmen. Mr. Frost, however, denied any suggestion that the confer- ence is '"'ganging up on Ottawa." The conference, and a council if formed, would aim at estab- lishing a co-operative approach to the many problems which lie purely within provincial juris- diction. There is no announced agenda for the closed - door talks. An official communique will be is sued after the final meeting.

Premier T. C. Douglas of Sa- skatchewan said on his arrival he is confident the conference will make some concrete moves towards setting up the interpro- vincial council. "I think it might eventually go further and become a sec- retariat which could deal with provincial matters," he said. Both he and Premier Frost said they will bring up the is- sue of portable pensions.

West Berliners clamored for sharp counter-action against the blockade of East German tra- vel, imposed at the sector bor- der by heavily - armed East German troops and police. Barbed wire barricades, tanks and soldiers with machine-guns cut off the great refugee flow from East Germany. And none of the 80,000 East Germans with jobs in West Berlin showed up for work. Henceforth, they must have passes to get past the bar- ricades. The closing of the Branden- barricaded the sector border Sunday, was described as tem- porary. Kari Maron, East Ger- man interior minister, blamed "continued provocations' at the gate, which was the scene of riotous demonstrations by West Berliners Sunday night. A dozen street crossings re- mained open, however, to such West Berliners and foreigners as wished to enter East Berlin, among them about 15,000 per- posit sons who regularly work there. Action believed this was another arbi- trary measure to keep the 17,000,000 East German people from openly expre their views, particularly on Ber- lin developments. The Brandenburg Gate was Slosed while big crowds built up there. The crowds began assembling late this morning after some 5000 West Berlin workers staged a protest march to the West Berlin city hall in protest against the Communist closure of the border. A silent crowd of several hundred East Berliners also as sembled on the Communist side of the gate and East Berlin po- lice pushed them back from the border. On the West Berlin side, a unit- of helmeted emergency po- lice took up positions to prevent any clash and a loudspeaker called on the crowd to obey po- West Berlin in an effort to prevent any bop der clash.

Defence lawyer Dr. Robert Servatius wound up the case by rejecting the entire Israeli in- dictment of the former Gestapo officer as the master bureau- crat behind the Nazi slaught of millions of Jews. Summing up, he point by point the prosecution charges that Eichmann zestfully and resentfully carried out Hit- ler's orders for the destruction of Europe's Jews. "If what the prosecution says is correct, then all the Nazis still being hunted can come out of hiding," Servatius declared. "The great guilty one has been found--Adolf Eichmann."

The prosecution charges Eich- mann had personal authority over what happened to Jews after they reached the death mills and decided which groups were herded into the gas cham- bers.

The negotiators did agree to al- ternate landing sites that can be used in case of emergency. The alternate for the Russians is Philadelphia. The alternate for the U.S. planes is Vnukovo, a few miles outside Moscow. Once the crews become famil- jar with the routes, U.S. planes are expected to fly to Moscow without Russian navigators aboard and the Russians to New York without Americans aboard. Police Probing Death Of Couple CALGARY (CP)--The violent deaths of a retired couple were being investigated today by po- lice who said a butcher knife with no visible blood stains is the only clue they have. Police said they are investi- gating the slaying from a double-murder angle but "we do not rule out the possibility of a murder-suicide."

Lawyer Alan Borovoy, execu- tive secretary of the committee, LATE NEWS FLASHES About a quarter of an inch of rain fell in most areas Sun- day and provided the first break in 80 - degree heat and clear skies in two weeks. It had a halting effect on the fires but was not heavy enough to put out the blazes. Officials estimated many of the fires, burning in dry bush softwood stands, will not die until snow arrives. The rain gave the 1,000 fire- fighters a chance to establish stands against advancing flames. A half - dozen hot spots on Trinity Bay and the north- east coast were calmed.

Reprisals Suggested By Brandt BERLIN (Reuters) -- West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt to- day suggested action against Communists in West Berlin as a reprisal for the closure of the East German border. He also suggested a possible takeover of East Germany's elevated railroad running through West Berlin and a move to discourage West Ber- liners from working in East Berlin.
