DALLAS, Tex. (AP) - Ford
Motor Co. announced it is clos-
ing its Mg Deties car end
truck assembly plent effective
Friday after 56 years in Dellas.
The closing, officials said, is
because of the cost of renovat.
ing the 45.year old plant where
the vehicles now are assembled.
The plant employes-1,900 of
them—were told of the plan at
a meeting within the plant
which has a $17 million annuel
- payroll. ’ —
Donald Bastian, general roan,
ager of the plant's Automotive
AssemblyDivision, said econoro.
ic factors involved in trying to
, update the 45.yeer old plant
caused the decision.
Bastian said immediate steps
were to be taken, to determine
what jobs may be available st
other locations for personnel of
the Dellas plant.
He said Ford benefit plans
provide assistance to employes
when a facility is discontinued.
•The facility does not lend it.
self to economic modernization,”
Bastian said. "We have tried
to justify a roulti-mlllion/lollar
program needed to modernize
the plant, but cannot do it on
the basis of economics and long-
range investment potential.”
Bastian said Ford will talk to
union representatives about
transfer opportunities for hourly
employes who wish to move to
other locations.
Officials said Ford will estab-
lish a counseling service and
work with the state employment
agency end area employers who
may be in need of trained peo-
PM-
More than half of the employes
at the plant are eligible for re-
tiraroent benefits. A total of 266
employes ere eligible for im.
mediate retirement benefits, and
an additional 756 could be en.
titled to future benefits whether
or not they continue to work
for Ford.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Two
federal agencies that sell annual
permits to ranchers for grating
more than IQ million head of
Ovestock on taxpayer -owned
lend ere locked in an ember,
ressing impasse over fees
charged for government grass.
A year ago the Johnson ad.
ministration put into affect high-
er grating fees charged ranch,
ers who use Western land coo-
trolled by the Forest Service tn
the Agriculture Department and
the Bureau of Lend Manage,
meat tn the Interior Depart,
meat. ,_____„
Years of study showed that
ranchers were not paying what
many government and private
apecialiaU considered a fair
market value for public grass.
So a new fee system was set
up for annual increases over a
10-year period in what ranchers
had to pay for the privilege of
grazing their stock on Forest
Service and BLM tend.
The Nixon administration
went along with the first in-
creeses put into effect for the
1969 grazing season.
But test November, Secretary
of the Interior Walter J. Hickel
announced that the scheduled
boost for 1970 would not be
made by BLM. This pleased cat-
tiemen, angered...wildlife end
conservation people and has
thrown the Forest Service into a
quendry on whst to do about its
higher fee schedule.
Thus far, Secretary of Agri-
culture Clifford M. Hardin has
not indicated the 1970 fee raise
will be put off. The Forest Serv.
ice will begin mailing out bills
to ranchers for this season’s
grazing in late February.
Forest Service officials claim
there is sufficient evidence,
gathered over many years of
study end experience, to sup.
port the higher fees.
Hickel has claimed, however,
that postponing the second raise
will allow a new study to be
made by the Public Land Law
Review Commission. This re-
port, covering a wide range of
public-land matters, including
grazing fees, is expected to be
reedy this summer. »
The BLM administers about
160 million acres of grazing
tend, end the Forest Service
about 106 million, virtually ell in
the West and Mountain states.
Under the old rates, the BLM
charged ranchers 33 cents per
mouth for each "animal unit”

The Forest Service for years
has had a variable rate system
ranging from 21 coots to $1.80
per mouth.
The objective of the 10.year
program is to raise gradually
the public grass fee to a uni. }
form rate which, computed on
present conditions, is $1.25 per
month.
In 1968, before the raises were
begun, the BLM collected about
$4.5 million tn grazing fees, and
the Forest Service about $4 mil.
liou.
Last year’s combined collec.
tions for the two agencies tn-
creased nearly $2 million, based
on a raise to 44 cents a month
for BLM and to a range of JI
cents to $1.25 for Forest Service
tend.
if all scheduled increases
were put into effect this year it
would add another $2.2 million
to public funds, according to of.
fictols of the two agencies.
