Sen. George S. McGovern, D-
SJD., speaking at a “Vietnam
week” forum at the University
of Nebraska in Lincoln, called
for an immediate end to the
bombing of North \ ietnam and
a de-escalation of the L^>.
military effort in the South.
“The odds and history are
against our achieving a total
military victory in Vietnam—
and even if we did that, the
social and political problems
confronting that country would
not be solved or worth the
effort,” he said,
Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind.,
another critic of administration
Vietnam policy, told a Notre

October signals the beginning
of the most deadly season of the
year. From past experience
these last three months of the
year almost double the number
of deaths occurring during the
first three months of the year.
The Sergeant listed some fac-
tors why these three months
are more deadly. (1) October
marks the beginning of shorter
days and longer nights. These
increased hours of darkness
will hide dangers otherwise vis-
ible during the daylight hours.
(2) An increase in traffice due
to vehicles conveying school
children, football games, har-
vest vehicles and trailers, and
the holidays. (3) Inclement wea- ,
ther conditions. These factors
in varying degrees coupled with 1
high speed cause accidents that i
would not occur in the daytime.
Dame audience at South Bend,

Johnson “to admit the futility of
the war plan and all its twists
of escalation.”
hands went up against the
motion to accept the contract,
which will raise the average
E’ord worker’s salary by $1,700
in the third year of the pact.
Th; deadline for ratification
of the new contract is 8 p.m.
Wednesday, said Reuther,
emerging from the meeting.
Immediate Pay Hike
After marathon bargaining
sessions in the last 12 days of
gruelling talks, Reuther and his
team of negotiators Sunday
tentatively accepted a Ford
offer that would immediately
sweeten the average Ford
worker’s paycheck by 20 cents
an hour. It would also give
skilled tradesmen an additional
30 cents per hour in each year
of the contract on top of the
increases going to production
workers.
The skilled workers, members
of a group calling itself the
“dollar-an-hour-now commit-
tee,” however, were demanding
boosts of $1 per hour in every
year of the contract even before
negotiations began three mon-

interstate mediation panel and
