Mr. Homo Sapiens
by Apasche 4 u t 0 workers, GM
tentatively agree
Army life is hard,
says recruit, 45
FT. KNOX, Ky. UPl^Tohn E.
Dicken worked out a retirement
program that’s kept him huffing
and puffing for the past six
weeks.
At 45, he decided to re-enlist
in the Army, and it hasn’t been
easy.
“I huff and puff running and
swear I’ll never smoke another
cigarette,” he said with a grin.
“In sprints one day, I beat only
two men, both had sore feet.”
Dicken, who has been divorced
for several years, wants eight
more years of service so he will
be eligible to retire at half pay
for life. The minimum is 20 years.
Because it had been so long
since he had basic training, the
Army decided he would have to
undergo the rugged eight-week
course again.
Dicken, whose home town is
Cumberland, Md., can outshoot
any youngster in his company
but physical training is some
thing else.
“The worst part, he said,” is
handwalking on the overhead
bars. I feel like my arms are
coming out of their sockets.”
There have been a number of
changes since Dicken last wore
a uniform in 1964 but kitchen po
lice is still the same.
Dicken has had it twice al
ready, 15 hours each day, but
knew enough to get his name on
the list first at the mess hall so
he could get an easy job—clean
ing tables.
Dicken rates the chow better.
“You don’t get cold cuts any
more and I haven’t seen any beef
stew here either. Living quarters
are nicer. The barracks are paint
ed and the floors are beautiful.”
The old soldier found that grip
ing is still the GI’s chief pastime.
“They gripe as much as they ever
did,” he said, but believes today’s
young soldier is just as dedicated
as those of World War II.
Dicken, who has been in the
Army, Navy, and the Air Force,
was able to re-enlist because
“they take you up to 35-plus one
year for every year you’ve spent
in service. I had 12, so I was
eligible to re-enlist up to 47.”
Powder puff
match reset
for Dec. 2
The powderpuff game between
the Law Hall Ramp 10 girls and
a team fielded by University
Women has been postponed until
Dec. 2.
The game was originally sched
uled to be played this afternoon.
The game was postponed be
cause University Women were
unable to field a team and also
the field was being used for in
tramural playoffs, and they will
continue throughout November.

Associated Press
DETROIT (A»)—The United
Auto Workers and General Mo
tors reached a tentative agree
ment Wednesday on a new three-
year labor contract which could
set the strike-crippled auto giant
moving towards full production
by the end of the month.
Ratification of the national
contract by 394,000 GM workers
and the settlement of outstand
ing U.S. local contracts still
stand in the way of a full re
sumption of car and truck out
put by the world’s largest auto
maker.
Earl R. Bramblett, GM’s vice
president for personnel and top
bargainer, said the new contract
was inflationary by the standard
definition of the word, but added
that this was the pattern today
in labor contracts.
Details of the contract wex-e
withheld until it is presented to
the union’s 350-member GM
council, which must okay the
pact before it is passed on to the
membership for ratification.
The council met at 1 p.m. Wed
nesday to look at the contract,
but the meeting was adjourned
until 9:30 a.m. Thursday to give
union officials more time to write
up an explanation of the offer.
Bargaining table sources, how
ever, said the pact included these
items:
A return to an unlimited cost-
of-living allowance — COLA —
which moves wages up or down
with quarterly changes in the
Consumer Price Index. The un
ion agreed to a ceiling on COLA
in the 1967 Big Three contracts
and made a return to the unlim
ited formula a top demand in
this year’s bargaining.
A first-year wage increase of
about 60 cents on top of the cur
rent average hourly wage of
$4.02. The union had sought 61.5
cents and GM’s last offer was
for 38 cents.
Retirement for workers with
30 years service at $500 a month
at age 58 in the first year of
the contract, age 56 in the second
year and age 55 in the third year.
The union had originally sought
x-etirement at $500 a month after
30 years, regardless of age. Un
der the current contract a 55-
year-old worker with 30 years of
service could retire at a maxi
mum of $104.22 monthly.
Four weeks vacation for work
ers with 20 years of service.
The final details of the contract
were put together in two long
sessions, a 17-hour one that be
gan Monday morning and a final
one which began Tuesday morn
ing and ended early Wednesday.
Bargaining had been stepped up
since Oct. 30.
GM had said earlier it needed
a settlement by Wednesday if it
was to get back in production by
Dec. 1.
Bramblett said each plant had
its own plan for getting back in
operation. As soon as local agx-ee-
ments are ratified, he added,
maintenance personnel will be
called back to ready the plant
machinery for startup.
