Cease-fire in Jordan Fails Seconds Later in Amman
A new cease-fire between Palestinian guerrillas and the Jordanian government in Amman collapsed within an hour as artillery and machine-gun fire erupted. Both sides disputed who started the fighting as residents fled and police sought to restore order. Kuwait suspended a $38 million subsidy again to pressure Husain’s government to honor the peace accord. In Gaza, Israeli border police engaged guerrillas, wounding a resident and detaining another, while Jarring pressed Arab leaders in New York over Israel’s peace plan.

Chrysler Deadline for UAW Strike Looms at Jan. 19
The United Auto Workers issued a strike deadline to Chrysler Corp giving until 1 a.m. on January 19 to sign a new contract or face a walkout. About 120,000 Chrysler hourly and salaried workers would be affected as all 48 plants in the U.S. and Canada could shut down if no agreement is reached. Key issues include retroactivity of the first year wage increase and salary employee pay scales. Chrysler proposed a weekly increase of 19.60 dollars or 15.60 plus 3 percent of base, while the union seeks 19.60 or 13 percent. The union notes wage patterns match General Motors and Ford settlements.
