Meanwhile, a public hearing will be held tonight at 8:30 in the city hall on the proposed ordin ance, "Shall a charter evalua tion commission be elected?"

Tonight's city council meeting and hearing on the charter study measure, are being held at 8:30 p.m. (an hour later than most council meetings) because of the ' Thorpe Isaacson testimonial at 7 o'clock.

"In our opinion, this can be achieved without strikes, either local or national," Denise said. He said local contract issues, which triggered the strike at GM appeared to "present a more serious obstacle to complete settlement than in past Ford negotia- tions." Ford has 85 local bargaining units. Settlements have been reached at only 31 of them, leaving 54 still to be settled. Terms of Offer As at GM, the revised Ford offer provides six cents an hour wage increases each year for three years and improved fringe benefits which the union says will mean a total of about 12 cents an hour in the pay envelopes of workers each year. One of the main fringe benefits health insuris full company-paiance, the cost of which is now shared by the workers. Ford and UAW negotiations resumed about an hour behind schedule today The delay was requested by the union, apparently to study Ford's new offer. UAW President Walter P.

Soon after Kennedy completed his speech the United States formally submitted to the j General Assembly a new arms plan calling for the outlawing of weapons of mass destruction and stabilizing military strength of the major powers at 2.1 million men. The proposals included the creation of an international disarmament organization under the United Nations. Kennedy warned the assembly that the fate of man had never been so imperiled.
