DETROIT — An overwhelm

Workers voted to break with 30
years of labor tradition and
trade up to $ 1 billion in benefits
for increased job security begin
ning Monday at struggling Ford
Motor Co.
The pact represents “a very
definite turning point in the way
things are done,” said Ephlin,

Sunday night showed a replace

WASHINGTON — CIA Di
rector William Casey says
Libya’s leader, Col. Moammar
Khadafy, could well be a mad
man and that Libyan “hit
squads” still pose a threat to
President Reagan.
In an interview with U.S.
News & World Report, Casey
said the Soviet Union exports
terrorism, but Khadafy orches
trates it.
“There are over 25 terrorist
and guerrilla training camps in
Libya,” Casey said in the inter
view released Sunday. “Train
ing guerrillas and terrorists is
the second largest industry
there — second only to oil.”
Asked if Khadafy is a mad
man, Casey said: “You could say
that. When he is confronted he
has to retaliate. He has that kind
of ego drive. He has to show that
he is as big as anybody else, and
if the United States knocks two
of his planes out of the air, he’s
got to do something about it.”
The CIA director said he
thinks Khadafy sent hit squads
to the United States to assassin
ate U.S. leaders in retaliation for
America downing two of Libya’s
jets last summer.
And he said although hit
squads are not talked about as
much now, Reagan is still in
danger.
Khadafy has repeatedly de
nied accusations that he is send
ing hit squads to the United
States
The agreement took effect
Monday with formal signing
ceremonies at Ford World
Headquarters in suburban
Dearborn.

With the ink not yet dry on
the Ford pact, the spotlight now
returns to General Motors
Corp., where similar contract
concessions talks broke off Jan.
28.
UAW President Douglas
Fraser has said he would like to
reopen talks but only if he has a
“mandate” from GM workers,
whose opposition to concessions
was cited as a reason for the
breakdown in negotiations.
Since bargaining broke off,
GM has announced plans to
close eight plants.
The Ford contract would
serve as a basis for any talks with
the No. 1 automaker.
Ten bargaining units with ab

last to vote Sunday on the Ford
pact, which is expected to save
the automaker nearly $1 billion
