TWINSBURG, Ohio — The
I United Auto Workers union
[ and Chrysler Corp. prepared
Thursday for negotiations on a
local contract dispute that
; threatens to bring the nation’s
I No. 3 automaker to a screeching
; halt.
The UAW struck Chrysler’s
■ Twinsburg stamping plant
Tuesday over enforced over-
time and other local issues. The
i loss of the flow of parts from the
1 plant shut down four other
■ Chrysler plants and was ex-
i peeled to close another two by
4 the end of the week.
Bob Weissman, president of
UAW Local 122, said rooms
were reserved at a local motel for
'. a negotiating session, the first
face-to-face meeting between
the two sides since the dispute Workers at the Twinsburg floors for all Chrysler cars and
began. plant make front doors and some trucks.
Earlier written proposals
yielded “little progress,” he said.
Paul Jeunette, financial sec
retary of the local, said the strike
“could go on for days,” depend
ing on management’s actions.
Ted Boyer, a worker with 12
years at the Twinsburg plant,
said he was tired of working
seven days a week for the past
two to three months. He believes
workers “will stay out until we
get what we want.”
“I don’t think the strike is
going to last much longer,”
Boyer said as he walked the pick
et line in the rain. “They want to
build cars and they can’t do that
without parts.”

WASHINGTON — President
Reagan tapped Republican
troubleshooter Donald Rums
feld as his new Middle East en
voy Thursday and pledged to
use the talents of our best
minds to achieve a just and last
ing peace.”
Reagan reaffirmed his long-
stalled Middle East peace initia
tive in announcing the former
defense secretary and White
House chief of staff will be his
new “point man” in a region
wracked by crises and uncer
tainty.
“We intend to use the talents
of our best minds to achieve a
just and lasting peace in the Mid
dle East,” Reagan said.
Rumsfeld will take a leave of
absence from his post as presi
dent of G.D. Searle & Co. of Sko
kie, Ill., a giant drug manufac
turer, to take the envoy’s job, for
which he will get no government
compensation.
Asked whether the challenge
of bringing peace to the Middle
East is “a no-win job,” Rumsfeld
replied simply, “I guess time will
tell.”
“The fact that the problems
there are intractable and diffi
cult and have persisted ov<
long periods doesn’t mean th
the United States should ignoi
them,” Rumsfeld said. “Rather
I think it suggests that it is wort
our best efforts.”

Dr. Michael B. Levy, an assis
tant professor of political scien
ce, says the Reagan administra
tion could conceivably defend its
actions in Grenada by maintain-
, ititf that the Cubans had already
intervened there.
U.S. national interests would
v be at slake, he said, it Grenada
" were to become a port-of-call for
s Soviet submarines and Cuban
[and Soviet ships, or house anti
aircraft missiles.
He said the United Slates
should make it clear to the
Soviets and Cubans that it will
not tolerate such threats.
Levy said the Marines in
|Lebanbn are not actually a
s';peace-keeping force because the
. presence of a peace-keeping
force in a country means that
Iboth sides want peace.
“That’s not the case in Leba
non,” he said.
He said America’s biggest
stake in the Middle East is the
protection of Western Euro
pean oil. Europe is much more
dependent on middle eastern oil
than is the United States, he said.
Dr. Roger A. Beaumont, pro-
ifessor of history, suggests that
the United Stales’ peace
keeping force in Lebanon might
he less obvious and less of a
"target il it was comprised of peo
ekend’s cto
s semester.'
(•din, whoul^.. . o
he classes, py pie other than an elite military
group such as the Marines.
He said the American people
— and people around the globe
—- have an image of the Marines,
and expect them to go in
fighting.
Beaumont suggested that a
peace-keeping force made up of
Peace Corps members and doc
tors, for example, might have
been belter accepted in
Lebanon.
Col. Donald Johnson, com
mander of Naval ROTC, says
that the Marines were sent to
Lebanon because they are “a
force in readiness.”
They were more easily pre
pared and stationed on short
notice than other people might
have been.
Johnson said the Marines are,
in fact, a peace-keeping force.
“Obviously if both sides
wanted peace, there would be
peace,” he said.
Johnson said the reason the
Marine compound in Lebanon
did not have tighter security be
fore the bombing is because the
mission of the Marines is as a
peace-keeping force.
They have a presence to
maintain, he said.
If the Marines were to barri
cade themselves in bunkers, he
said, their presence would not
be that of a peace-keeping force,
but as a combatant.
