The United Auto Workers strike against Ford Motor Co. enters its second month as both sides report little if any progress after a Friday bargaining session. UAW President Walter P. Reuther visited pickets at River Rouge in Dearborn and noted past violence at Gate 4. The union allowed production to resume at three plants making parts for American Motors Corp while Ford seeks a court injunction to keep pickets from blocking nonunion workers at a Sterling Township plant. Ford's Malcolm Denise said a reopening date for plants supplying American Motors would be set locally and about 890 workers at Rawsonville Ypsilanti Mich Sandusky Ohio plants would be affected, with no plant to work more than 13 days.
