Arabs
tell Japan
oil price
VIENNA (UPI) - Arab oil

relaxed their oil cutbacks for
Europe today, but Saudi Arabia

Yamani told Japan it must
sever relations with Israel to
qualify for supplies of Arab oil.
“The Organization of Arab
Oil Exporting Countries
(OAPEC) has decided that those
countries which are affected by
reductions will be exempted on
the condition that they assist
the Arabs in a very significant
way and force the Israelis to
withdraw from occupied Arab
territories,” Amani said.
“Japan cannot help us
militarily, so the second thing
to do is cut relations with
Israel, ” Yamani said.
Yamani spoke to newsmen
after a three-hour meeting of
ministers of the 12 members of
the Organization of Oil Export
ing Countries (OAPEC).
(In Tokyo, the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs told its ambas
sadors in Arab countries today
to ask that Japan be granted
the same exemption from the
Arab oil embargo that was
given Western European coun

countries belonging to OAPEC.

General Motors,
union okay pact
DETROIT (UPI) — General
Motors Corp, and United Auto
Workers negotiators, weary
after almost 24 hours of nonstop
bargaining, reached agreement
today on a new national
contract.
The settlement came only 90
minutes before the start of a
scheduled series of ministrikes
at selected General Motors
plants across the country.
The word began going out
from union negotiators at about
8:30 a.m. that a tentative
agreement had been reached.
The official announcement was
expected later from union and
company bargainers.
The company and union
bargaining teams began their
final meeting before 9 a.m.
Sunday and worked without a
stop all night in subcommittees.
The tentative agreement, if
approved by the union’s rank
and file membership, will wrap
up the 1973 round of labor talks
for nearly three-quarters of a
million auto workers.
The union had been set to
order a sizeable number of its
420,000 union members at GM
to start a rotating series of
short strikes at 10 a.m., the
time the old contract ter
minated. That contract was
extended on a day to day basis
while the union negotiated first

While details of the tentative

contracts were signed. The
