DETROIT The United Automobile Workers agreed to relax the strike against General Motors to permit production of parts for rivals. GM said a partial resumption could affect about half of its plants, with 40 000 of 175 000 workers on strike. Union president R J Thomas called the offer generous, but wage demands remain.
