The official Kinshasa radio said a plane without any regis- tration markings, was shot down at Wale in Oriental prov- ince. The capital of the province is Kisangani, formerly Stan- leyville, one of the focal points of a mercenary-led rebellion in The Congo's eastern regions last week. Radio Kinshasa did not indi- cate how many persons were aboard the plane, but said the survivor was the co-pilot who gave his name as Edgar Moore and said he was Canadian. Three U.S. military C - 130 transport planes arrived at Kin- shasa today to provide logistic support to the Congolese govera- ment against the rebels in the countrys eastern provinces. They were sent at Congolese President Joseph Mobutu's re- quest but their role will be non- combatant. The aircraft can carry 64 fully equipped para- troops or 90 infantrymen each.

(AP) Miami Beach residents near Euclid Avenue and 16th Street have been besieged for the last two weeks by a Skydiving, head - pecking mockingbird. The bird spots his victims, swoops down with Spitfire speed and hits from behind. Most of the time, he flies down directly from the top of a building. But for sneak sorties, he's been known to roost in a 51-foot palm tree. by Thurs-| day. ; UN T0 pte A Spano! ------ | Federal Forces Battle Rebels | In East Nigeri By IAN LAVAL }gos through military and diplo-| {matic sources indicated neither | ALGOS (Reuters) -- At least| side made big advances. | |three battalions of the Nigerian) Nsukka is on a main road 41} |federal army were reported in| miles north of Enugu, the seat! |battle today in the secessionist] of 1,t.-Col.

MOST AMBITIOUS DEMANDS Auto-Workers, GM Start Negotiations SEEK WAGE PARITY The company says this would have |lice said today 'an inquest will be held Friday into the deaths aban to ayes ig ou of a mother and her two young DETROIT (AP)--Leaders of the largest U.S. industrial union sit down today at the bargain- ing table with officers of the world's largest manufacturing corporation to present "the longest and most ambitious list of demands'? ever laid out by the union. Describing his goals with these superlatives, Walter P. Reuther begins negotiations be- tween his 1,400,000 - member United Auto Workers union and General Motors Corp. Industry bargainers got their first hint of the details behind the top demands that Reuther has outlined generally as a sub- stantial wage increase, a gua- ranteed annual income and wage parity between Canadian and American workers. Both sides admit that the b of precedent-breaking proposals on the union's list of musts could make for bitter bargaining and possibly a tough strike. Reuther opens contract talks with Ford Tuesday and with Chrysler Wednesday. EXPIRES SEPT. 6 The three-year-contracis be- tween the UAW and the big three automakers expire Sept. 6, just as manufacturers will be getting ready to splash their 1968 models on the market. Aside fron: the hefty wage in- crease the UAW says it wants, there are a number of funda- mentals which both sides feel will be hard to reach agree- ments on. And thesse are the issues mostly likely to provoke a strike. Among the union proposals which could develop into issues of principle are: --The guaranteed annual in- come. Company personnel offi- cers say they are interested in knowing the details of Reuther's plan, but adamantly insist they won't "pay a man to loaf" or agree to any program which en- courages absenteeism. --Wage parity between Cana- dian and American workers. The industry says Canadians get paid an average of 30-per- cent less than their American counterparts because they are about that much less produc- tive. The union' contends the Canadian - American trade agreement has allowed the auto companies to integrate their North American operations and sharply cut that productivity gap. : DEFINE JOBS --Lines of demarcation. The union contends that jobs should be n.ore clearly defined so that veteran workers will not be shunted around to duties they consider beneath their dignity. curtail the manpower flexibility needed in a business subject to seasonal ups and downs. --Subcontracting. The UAW insists it should have first crack at a job at a plant if it has the men in its ranks to do the work. The auto firms say that not be- ing free to hire outside contrac- tors as they see fit would in- fringe on their right to adminis- ter their operations. --Voluntary overtime. No man should have to work more than a 40-hour week if he diesn't want to, says the UAW. The producers say that not being able to order an entire shift to work an extra day, and know it would be there, would lead to chaos, particularly on the tightly regulated assembly lines. Company negotiators in the ,ast few weeks have been the most pessimistic about the strike prognosis, informed sources said there was reason to believe that both had indicated they were ready to \aecept ite .
