Some Chrysler Workers DETROIT (AP) Much of Chrysler car and truck building operations remained idle today despite a new, threeyear contract worked out Wednesday night in a final 34- hour bargaining session. The United Auto Workers union and Chrysler reached tentative agreement on the new pact which will cover some 95,000 of Chrysler's 103,000 UAW members. UAW president Walter P.

Reuther predicted it would take a couple of days to get Chrysler back to near normal production. Some Chrysler-UAW units jumped the gun Wednesday and staged local walkouts in advance of the UAW designated strike deadline of last midnight. When the contract agreement was reached about four hours before the strike hour, UAW leaders sent word to their members to stay on the jobs. A check by Chrysler early today showed a number of its plants closed, either because of worker absenteeism, parts shortages or picket lines. "We have no idea how many men are out or just how many plants are involved for the situchanges every hour," a Chrysler spokesman said.

Negotiators were too weary Wednesday night to continue bargaining on contract sions covering 8,000 salaried workers the UAW represents at Chrysler, but spokesman said they hoped to have these problems solved by the weekend. UAW President Walter P. Reuther called it "the best we've ever had" agreement even bigger than the estimated 6 per cent gains the union got at Ford two weeks ago to end a 46-day strike. Almost identical to the Ford pact, the Chrysler contract provides wage and fringe benefit gains of more than $1 an hour, with some wage gains alone amounting to 93 cents an hour over the three-year life of the pact. union also achieved at Chrysler, the failed only to major deFord -pay mid-1970, parity for Canadians, who, by will be paid the same amount per job as their American counterparts.

The Chrysler accord came less than four hours before a Wednesday midnight strike deadline, which the UAW immediately dissolved. But by then Chrysler plants employing 35,000 were out of action because of walkouts by workers who jumped the gun on the New Peace Attempt Is Seen UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The U.N. Security Council is making a new attempt to break the Middle East deadlock despite signs of hardening positions by both Israel and Egypt. Egypt requested a meeting the 15-nation council this afternoon to deal with Israel's refusal to withdraw from territory it seized during the June war.

A government spokesman told a news conference in Cairo there no move toward a settlement until Jewish forces pull back. In Minister New York, Israeli Foreign Abba Eban told newsmen Egypt's demand that Israel withdraw without a peace treaty defining frontiers "is so irrational that it is amazing to find it proposed." Eban said that, because of its provisions for withdrawal, an Remain Out strike deadline. The corporation's car production sagged by 64 per cent and truck output was completely stopped by the walkouts, which lingered on today. Reuther said the union would try to get strikers back to work "as soon as possible." Canadian was the only major difference Ford and Chrysler agreements. Ford's Canadian subsidiaries are not wholly owned, so Ford's U.S.

bargainers could not pledge parity for employes of Ford of Canada. The UAW has sought parity since 1939, but only recently exerted extreme pressure to win it. Chrysler said the disparity would be eliminated from the paychecks of its 12,000 Canadian UAW members in these steps: 10 per cent on 1, per cent Dec. 1968; per Bully 1988 cent June 1, 1969; 25 per cent Dec. 1, 1969; 30 per cent June 1, 1970.

The United States Coast Guard and United States Corps of Engineers approved the permit for building the bridge.

Sen. Albert Gore, D- earlier had reported that the step "will permit design and construction of the project to go forward."

"It like throwing a rock at a bird and missing him." "During the Truman administration, Missouri delegation thought they were well enough acquainted, with government the to look President favorably on the bridge," he added. A bridge location was approved and the Tennessee and Missouri legislatures approved bills creating the two-state bridge commission.

Financing problems delayed work on the project until Tennessee Gov. Buford Ellington began working to include the bridge in the newly enacted federal interstate program. The late President John F. Kennedy gave informal approval to the bridge shortly before his assassination in 1963.

He criticized a rival U.S. draft, contending it did not give enough stress to Israel's insistence on direct negotiations with the Arab states. The Israeli Foreign Minister also found fault with a Japanese working paper circulating among council members. He said that, like the Indian resolution, it prejudices Israel's position on withdrawal. Eban concentrated his fire on the proposal submitted by India, Mali and Nigeria.

He charged that it had been drawn up "in close consultation at every point" with Egypt, but without consultation with Israel. Eban stressed that here must be no return to armistice boundary lines that existed before the June war. He said they must be "superseded by an agreed and secure permanent frontier." proposal was attended by the President. Gov. Frank Clement of Tennessee, Gov.

Since that time delays in going ahead with the project have revolved around general construction details. "The barge lines have been hard to deal with," Forcum said. He said most of the barge line officials, however, are happy with a compromise providing for a 900-foot-wide downstream navigational span and a 500-toot-wide upstream span.
