The offer provided for higher wages, earlier retirement and larger pensions for more than 500,000 UAW members at auto- motive plants around the U.S. They were promptly branded "miserably inadequate" by un- ion leaders. Reuther categorized the Big Three proposals as "unfair, in- adequate, unrealistic and in- eauitable--and therefore unac- | ceptable." Spokesmen for the three auto companies had no comment on the union's action in postponing its selection of a strike target until next week. \OFFER 'GENEROUS' When the economic proposal jwas made, Malcolm Denise, Ford vice-president for labor relations, termed it the 'most generous we've ever made to the UAW." And Louis Seaton, GM vice president in charge of person- nel, said the proposed new con- tract was sound and forward looking, realistically meeting "the needs of our employees, our own business, and the na- tion's economy.""

"Early dating is believed by teen-agers to be their social se- curity," said: Naomi Lederach of Hubbard, Ore., "but all it does is transfer adult anxiety on young people who are not ready for such anxieties."

Seven of the dead were pas- sengers on the train, commonly called the "'businessman's spe- cial," which was struck at a level crossing in clear weather. The eighth was the truck driver, identified as Bazil Czopyk of Ottawa, The truck knifed into the side of a day coach, which then careened into a concrete pump- house and looped a grove of poplars.

Mr. Grafftey said he tried to help the injured but could do little. 'About all I could do was console a little boy who watched as his mother and father died." He said he heard some priests praying as they lay dying or critically injured. Mr, Grafftey said Jean-Lue Pepin, Liberal] MP for~ Drzm. mond « Arthabaska, and Under- secretary of State Ernest Steele ' also were aboard the CPR train but neither was hurt. Doug Innes, 17-year-old son of Commons committee clerk E, W. Innes, told The Canadian Press he thought he was one of only two or three survivors in the coach, which he believed was carrying about 12 persons, "Some people were thrown out the windows and the train rolled on them," he said, add- ing that he believed the dead included some priests and nuns and several elderly women. Mr. Innes said 'he saved him- self by "cuffing my arms around my head and neck, then getting down in the seat and holding on." He said he thought his quick action saved his life, adding that older persons in the car had "slower reactions and didn't have a chance."
