...over-the-counter exchange. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau is supervising another probe. Finally, the New York State senate committee on crime and correction is examining the possibility that organized crime may be linked to the operations of Madison Square Garden Corp., another G&W affiliate.

President Leonard Woodcock called a strike in time for the evening TV news. "Ford," he declared, "has been unresponsive and unwilling to engage in serious bargaining." Sidney McKenna, Ford's vice president for labor relations and its chief negotiator, insisted that the company had presented offers totaling "over $1 billion in value...
