El Salvador bridge scene and U.S. response grows tense

Hinton defends a first class officer Melander, citing self defense. Separately, Sen. Leahy tours El Salvador faulting defense briefings and urging a presidential address as leftist guerrillas oppose the U.S. backed government.

Ford union reaches tentative 1983 84 contract terms
The union and Ford agree on a 24 month moratorium on plant closings due to outsourcing and new worker protections. The pact includes profit sharing, 50 percent guaranteed income for laid off workers with 15 years' seniority, training programs, enhanced unemployment benefits, and expanded UAW participation in company decisions. Ford wins wage freeze, elimination of eight paid holidays, a December extra holiday payday, and phased health benefits for new hires with lower initial pay. Three of four cost of living adjustments deferred to September 1983, with a reopener if U.S. sales exceed 1,925,000 in six months. Expiration set for Sept. 14, 1984. The agreement will be reviewed today in Detroit before the Ford council meets in Chicago to vote on ratification.
