tices refused to interfere, for the
time being, with a federal court's
ruling that the government must
continue paying Medicaid funds for
elective abortions.
A Chrysler spokesman said a con-
tinuation of the strike would force
Detroit area assembly plants to shut
Thursday or Friday. The company's
other car and truck plants would
close by early next week, he said.

Seattle celebration
fe:
Two of the strikes began today. In
Sandusky, Ohio, 2,300 members of
United Auto Workers Local 913
struck GM's New Departure Hyatt
division fan and waterpump plant at
9 a.m. after bargainers failed to set-
tle on a new three-year local con-
tract.
And. in the northern Detroit sub-
urb of Warren, 3,000 members of
UAW Local 869 walked out at Chrys-
ler's major body stamping plant
when negotiators were unable to
forge a new local agreement by a 10
a.m. strike deadline.
The court let stand a decision by the
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Washington that Ehrlichman, a top
White House aide under former
President Richard M. Nixon, was
rightly convicted.
DETROIT (AP) — Three key Gen-
eral Motors manufacturing sites and
.• a critical Chrysler stamping plant
were shut today by local strikes in-
volving nearly 14,000 workers in
Ohio, Michigan and New Jersey.
Spokesmen for the two auto com-
panies said the strikes, all at key
parts supply plants, could begin trig-
gering assembly plant closings later
this week if the walkouts do not end
■ soon.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President

GM and Chrysler are bargaining
with several dozen UAW locals on
new three-year local contracts cov-
ering noneconomic issues *- such as
job assignments and production
standards — which are excluded
from the national contracts with the
union.
Marijuana was openly smoked, but
it was possibly the least of police
problems. Caught unprepared for ei-
ther the size of the crowds or their
behavior, officers said they threw
out the rule book.
"In one hour, I watched no less
than 20 people urinate on the street,"
a police sergeant said.
Foul-mouthed drunks waved and
threw their empties at police.
"The liquor was beyond our con-
trol," said Police Lt. Don Taylor. "I
would say that more than half the
people on the streets had drinks in
their hands, and there wasn't any-
thing we could do about it.
"My men ... could have spent the
entire night arresting people for
drinking in public."
"We didn't expect what hap-
pened," said Sgt. Johnson. "It
seemed like everyone who wanted to
get drunk was out there. It was a
sad affair. I think that everybody
came down here with the idea that
this was the Mardi Gras and no
holds were barred."
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Su-
preme Court today refused for the
second time to ban the use of federal
‘ money for abortions not necessary to
save the life of the mother. The jus-
. shine and as many as 50.000 jovial
\ participants, erupted into a night-
- mare for the 20 policemen assigned
’ to patrol the historic Pioneer Square
. >rea in the oldest section of town.

‘ • - that I'm on furlough or that I'm as-
’ • signed elsewhere. I will not suffer
these indignities again," said Police
Sgt Howard Johnson.
A 22-year-old man, Craig Millar of
Seattle, was found dead early Sun-
day as the celebration was breaking

; brain hemorrhage but witnesses told
■, -police Millar had been sitting on a
I’leorner, apparently unconscious,
'when four men tried to rouse him.

In 1972, he said he believed the
United States could accept a Soviet
numerical lead in launchers in the
SALT 1 agreement because of the
U.S. lead in warheads and strategic
bombers.
"I think It is apparent that the
strategic situation today has changed
very significantly since 1972," he
said.
"A disparity in strategic missile
launchers which was offset then by
our lead in MIRV (multiple war-
head) technology could not now be
accepted on a continuing basis,” he
said.
But he said the question is whether
the United States should cope with
the change by construction and de-
ployment of more weapons systems
or "whether we should attempt to
negotiate sound and verifiable arms
limitations agreements."
"I hope I will be able to contribute
to the search for such arms control
solutions as will increase the securi-
ty of this country," he said.

And the overriding reason was

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate developments have required a reas-
Foreign Relations Committee today sessment of his position,
approved President Carter's nomi-
nations of Paul C. Warnke to be di-
rector of the U.S. Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency and chief U.S.
negotiator at strategic arms limita-
tions talks with the Soviet Union.
In separate actions, the committee
voted 15 to 1 for Warnke to head the
disarmament agency and 14 to 2 to
be chief disarmament negotiator
with the Russians.
Sen. John C. Danforth, R-Mo., vot-
ed against Warnke for both posi-
tions. Sen. Robert P. Griffin, R-
Mich., opposed him only for SALT
negotiator with rank of ambassador.
—Griffin requested three days to file
a minority report, which would defer
Senate action at least until next
week.
Meanwhile. Warnke said today he
is concerned over the pace of the So-
viet buildup in strategic weapons.
If current trends continue, he told
a Senate Armed Services Committee
hearing, "our position could be in
jeopardy at some point in the fu-
ture."
Warnke told the committee he
does not support every recommenda-
tion he has made over the past eight
years. Critics have accused Warnke
of advocating unilateral disarma-
ment and of opposing development
of major U.S. weapons system.
In some instances, Warnke said,
