Quick-acting students disarm bomb at TCU United Press International FORT WORTH — A hooded man placed a small pipe bomb on the steps of a Texas Christian University dormitory early Thursday, but the device’s crude fuse sputtered out and the bomb did not explode, police said. The bomb, which bomb squad investigators said had the explosive force of a hand gre nade, was dismantled by a group of students who arrived on the scene shortly after the suspect was scared away about 1 a.m. A student returning from an outing with a female companion noticed the man, wearing a hooded sweat suit, trying to light the device in front of Tomlinson Hall. The suspect ran from the scene after the student yelled at him, bomb investigator H.B. Owens said. The device was later disman tled by a group of students who also arrived at the scene, Owens said. The device was encased in side a hollow metal container and used a crude paper fuse which frizzled out, investigators said. Owens said the bomb, though small, could have sent glass and shrapnel through the front doors of the dorm and sprayed a wide area with metal fragments. Officials were distressed that the students had touched the de vice. “If they (the students) would have left it lying there, it’s possi ble we could have gotten some fingerprints off of it,” Owens said. “They took a personal risk when they handled the thing in the first place. ” Negotiations with Ford still on Auto union - GM talks break down noi iis campaj edging to] the p«fl s for te; 'ung, 37, uring hi of Idea of Teu esenutkl t unity, mentisa r Texas i| lung, who vn Demi vary, the mostc >ve thef*! giving He said hi teacher, ■best in 1 to go siness Hesaidaj lore monetl 10 years ep ters degro nakeanK United Press International ^ DETROIT — Early contract talks aimed at pulling the auto industry out of its worst slump iince the Depression broke Idown between General Motors nd the United Auto Workers, iut the union said it still hoped or an agreement with Ford otor Co. “We gave it one more try to ireak the logjam, and were un- Kable to do so,” a dejected UAW President Douglas Fraser said Wednesday, after he broke off ^negotiations at GM. “So we just (made a decision that there’s no point in sitting here any longer.” He indicated talks with GM Iwould not resume until their hegular time this summer to re place the contract expiring in September. GM chief bargainer Alfred Warren said he didn’t think the industry could wait until July for relief from the high labor which costs automakers claim have put them at a $1,500 to $1,800 dis advantage per car with Japanese firms. “We regret this (impasse) very much,” Warren said, “not only for the employees of General Motors, but for our customers and the nation as a whole.” The problems at GM cen tered on determining union concessions on economic issues like cost-of-living allowances, health care and other benefits. Other problems include GM’s practice of delegating work to foreign and non-union domestic sources — a major sore point for the union.

The refugees were scheduled to meet with immigration offi cials Thursday. Officials said they probably will be granted asylym, said Houston City Councilman Dale Gorczynski, who met with the group Wednesday night. Garczynski said the sailors — two of them women and wives of male sailors — walked off the freighter Zabrze in the Port of cized Go: ,ot delaji rest Legislali (bowing he peo| was a wall coons,’ Collins would oppose tax-exemption denials United Press International LUBBOCK — Rep. Jim Col lins, R-Texas, says he would work against legislation to deny tax-exempt status to schools that show racial discrimination. He does not believe racial discrimi nation exists in Texas, he says. The conservative Dallas Re publican was in Lubbock cam paigning for the Republican wanted guaranteed jobs for layoff-weary members. Another thorn in the side of the union was a remark made by GM Chairman Roger Smith during an optimistic time in the talks. Tuesday he threatened further plant closings if workers didn’t grant extensive conces sions. Despite the breakdown in GM talks, UAW Vice President Donald Ephlin said the union “would like the opportunity to come back and do some bargain ing” at Ford following Satur day’s meeting of the UAW’s Ford and GM bargaining coun cils in Washington. Peter Pestillo, Ford vice presi dent for labor relations, said he was heartened by Ephlin’s desire to continue talks and said this made a future settlement more likely. The UAW and GM had got ten off to a quick start in the early talks Jan. 11. The next day they unveiled a revolutionary framework for bargaining de scribed as the beginning of a new spirit of cooperation be tween the company and labor. Fraser said the union was dis appointed the novel proposal — which called for contract conces sions to be passed on to consum ers in the form of car price cuts — didn’t work. Ford was caught off guard by the plan and refused to embrace it. Talks with Ford have been on hold this week as bargainers waited for progress at GM. Fraser said each council will have to decide the future course of talks at each company inde pendently. m SHUGART COUPON a& Tues.
