'til Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH The Kroger Co., its' 45 Pittsburgh-area supermar kets shut by a 30-day strike, said yesterday it has agreed to sell the chain to a St. Louis-based food wholesalei that plans to resell the stores to independent operators. Cincinnati-based Kroger said it had reached an agreement in prin ciple to sell the stores to Wetterau Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Kroger said the boards of directors of both firms must approve the sale. Kroger said all its supermarkets in Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, West moreland and Washington counties are involved in the deal. ,Eleven Kroger supermarkets in Indiana, Somerset, Clearfield, Du- Bois, Clarion, Franklin, Sharon, Meadville, Grove City and Erie would not be sold, the company said.

SCHMID Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON The largest corporate merger in American his tory won tentative approval yester day from the Federal Trade Commission, which voted to allow Texaco to buy Getty Oil Co. for $lO.l billion. Shortly after the FTC acted, Tex aco, the nation's third largest oil company, bought 44.4 million shares of Getty's stock for $5.68 billion. That gave it control of 56 percent of Getty, the nation's 14th largest oil company. The purchase was made in two steps. First, Texaco paid $4.49 bil lion for the 35.1 million Getty shares that stockholders had sub mitted for payment under Texaco's Graph indicates Ford Motor Co. profits between 1979 and 1983. Ford earned a record $1.87 billion in 1983, bringing the year's profits of the recovered auto industry to a new summit which may reach $6 billion. markets to go to St. Louis wholesaler went on strike after rejecting con cessions the company had said were essential for survival in the' competitive Pittsburgh market. The local represents 2,845 Kroger store clerks and meat cutters. Jack Bodenheimer, the local's business agent, could not be reached for comment immediately. Kroger wanted its workers to accept wage concessions of up to $2.06 an hour. Kroger officials said that without the concessions, the company would be paying $1.50 to $3.50 an hour more than any other grocery chain in the Pittsburgh area. Giant Eagle workers, also rep resented by Local 23, accepted wage reductions of up to $2.11 an hour after a 19-day strike last fall. The Kroger strike came just two weeks after Giant Eagle escalated a price war in the Pittsburgh area by introducing "absolute minimum pricing," a program that elimi nated specials and passed on the savings from the new labor pact to offer of $l2B a share. Texaco then bought the 9.3 million shares held by the J. Paul Getty Museum under terms of a contract signed in early January. The museum's stock was purchased for the same $l2B a share, or $1.19 billion in all. Texaco is expected to buy the rest of Getty's stock soon. That would be done by buying the 31.8 million shares held by the Sarah C. Getty Trust for $l2B apiece, or $4.07 bil lion, under a contract already signed. That would leave only the 3 mil lion publicly held Getty shares that had not been submitted as of Mon day for payment under the tender offer.

Dick Dalton, a Wetterau first vice president, said his firm had no intention of dealing. with the union. "It's not even part of our consid erations," Dalton said in a tele phone interview from St. Louis. "Any negotiations would have to go on between . Kroger and Local 23. We're purchasing stores to be re sold." Dalton said the stores would be sold '"as quickly as posSible." Dalton and Kroger said the stores will be repurchaed by local inde pendent owners who would then be supplied by Fox Grocery Co., a wholly-owned Wetterau subsidiary based in Pittsburgh. Kroger, the nation's second-larg est food chain with more than 1,500 stores in about 30 states, has been selling groceries in the Pittsburgh market since 1928. authorized to start buying Getty stock immediately, so long as it operates the smaller oil company as a separate entity until the merg er is finally approved. "Getty will cooperate totally with Texaco during the transition to help assure that the merger is accom plished with a minimum of disrup tion," Getty spokesman Jack Leone said. "The interests of the stock holders will best be served by expe diting the merger." FTC chairman James Miller said the merger was recommended unanimously by the agency staff and was approved 4-1 by the com missioners. By midday, Texaco stocic was selling for $39.50, down 62.5 cents, while Getty was trading at $125.25, up 75 cents. 1.17 1.87 Messenger of love A pop•up Valentine greeting card popular in Germany from 1890 to 1930 is part of a collection of more than 700 testimonials of undying love at Rochester's Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum. Ford Co. makes record profits By EDWARD MILLER AP Auto Writer DEARBORN, Mich. Ford Motor Co. said yester day it earned a company record $1.87 billion in 1983, bringing the year's profits of the recovered auto industry to a new summit which may reach $6 billion. Chairman Philip Caldwell, announcing the profits, said "many more good years lie ahead," but he cautioned that high interest rates brought on by the rising federal budget deficit could put the auto recov ery in jeopardy. He called on the government to slash the deficit by cutting the defense budget. He said America could do that by charging foreign nations, notably Japan, a "user charge" for defense and by working "something out with the Russians" on arms control. Caldwell declared that Ford, after three straight years of huge losses, had become "profitable at home and abroad." The Ford earnings broke a record of $1.67 billion set in 1977. The 1983 total came to $10.29 a share excluding a three-for-two stock split last October. Figuring in the split, the earnings per share was $9.64. The earnings compare with a loss last year of $657.8 million, or minus $3.64 a share. AP Lasorphoto In 1981, Ford lost $1.06 billion and the year before that set a company loss record by dropping $1.54 billion. That was 1980, when the U.S. car industry lost a staggering $4.2 billion. General Motors Corp. last week said it earned $3.73 billion in 1983, so GM and Ford by themselves have racked up around $5.6 billion for the year, breaking the record of $5.18 billion set in 1977. Chrysler Corp., the third-largest U.S. automaker, and No. 4 American Motors Corp. have yet to report their earnings. Ford put its worldwide factory sales of cars and trucks for 1983 at 4,934,231, up nearly 16 percent from 4,267,587 in 1982. Ford's earnings for the fourth quarter of 1983 were $7Bl million, or $4.29 a share, compared with a loss of $236 million, or $1.30 a share a year earlier. The profits were made on worldwide sales 'of $44.4 billion. GM's sales in 1983 were reported at $74.6 billion. Ford remained the world leader, however, in car and truck sales outside the United States. United Auto. Workers union contracts at GM and Ford expire on the same day, Sept. 19, and the union has made it cleal• that it wants a share of the profits. A statement released by the union and attributed to UAW Vice President Stephen Yokich, said, "there is a wide gulf between the amount earned by workers and the amounts paid to company executives." • Machine may put crush on kidney stones By SUSAN ESSOYAN Associated Press Writer BOSTON A machine being readied for U.S. trials could allow 150,000 Americans to avoid sur gery each year by crushing their kidney stones with underwater shock waves, doctors at Massa chusetts General Hospital said yesterday. The device, developed in Mu nich, West Germany, has a 99 percent success rate, said Dr. Stephen Dretler. He is in charge of the project at the hospital, which received its lithotripter or "stone crusher" last week. The Food and Drug Administra tion has authorized six U.S. hospi tals to begin using the shock-wave lithotripter experimentally. The hospital hopes to have it ready for use in six weeks. Anoth er will be ready for trials at Meth odist Hospital in Indianapolis at the end of February, said Dretler, and others will go to New Yoit Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in New York City, Baylor Univer sity Medical Center in Houston, the University of Florida at Gai nesville, and the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. After a few hundred trials, the FDA will decide whether to allow the machines to be sold elsewhere in the United States, Dretler said. Dave Duarte, a spokesman for the FDA, said it is up to the manufac turer to decide when to submit data on the machine for final ap proval. Patients undergoing the treat ment are sedated and immersed in a water bath while shock waves repeatedly pound the kidney stone until, it crumbles into pieces small enough to be flushed out with urine. "This is an enormous break through," Dretler said . About 5 million people each year suffer from kidney stones, which usually are formed from calcium salts in the urine and cause great pain. WASHINGTON (AP) Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced yesterday the government is hiring more than 160 new inspectors to "keep an eagle eye" on air safety at a time of intense competition and cost-cutting among the airlines. "In an industry changing so rapidly and dynamically, we must guard against any safety lapses," Dole said, referring to the grounding of three small airlines in recent months after mainte nance and operational problems were discovered. The Reagan administration has come under criticism from Congress for reducing the number of Federal Aviation Administra tion inspectors each year since 1981, even though the number of airlines has doubled with deregulation of the airline industry. Fort Worth agency gets 'fleeced' WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. William Proxmire gave his "Golden Fleece" award yesterday to a federal office in Fort Worth, Texas, for "flatly mismanaging $64 million," but an agency official said the timing of the award was unfair. Proxmire, D-Wis., said he gave his monthly award to the Fort_ Worth regional office of the Urban Mass - Transportation Adminis tration for its handling of $64 million of capital improvement projects between January 1981 and May 1983. "I think it's unfair for us who are presently here to be hit with that report," responded Scott Tuxhorn, the office's deputy adminis trator. He said the problems cited by arose before he and the current regional administrator took office last summer. In announcing the award, given for what Proxmire considers wasteful or ridiculous use of taxpayers' money, the senator called the situation "a classic case of runaway federal spending." And royal baby will make four.. . LONDON (AP) Princess Diana, 22-year-old wife of Prince Charles, is expecting their second child in late September. "We are all very pleased. She is very well," said Charles' father, Prince Philip, at the annual dinner of the Windsor Rugby Club. He was the only member of the royal family with a public engagement last night. The baby will be third in line of succession to the 1,000 -year-old throne, behind 35-year-old Charles and the couple's first child, 19- month-old Prince William. Charles' 23-year-old brother, Royal Navy pilot Prince Andrew, will drop to fourth. Diana, who returned to Britain Sunday night from a one-day solo trip to Norway, "is in perfect health and certainly we are going to try to make sure that none of her planned engagements is canceled," said a Buckingham Palace spokesman yesterday. Hunt for Nazi war criminal snagged ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) The Chief Justice of the Para guayan Supreme Court and this country's Interior Minister told Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld yesterday that war criminal Josef Mengele has not lived in Paraguay for years. Klarsfeld, who traveled here in an effort to convince the govern ment of President Gen. Alfredo Stroessner to expel Mengele, met separately with Justice Luis Argana and Minister Sabino Montana ro. She later told The Associated Press, what was said at the meetings. Mengele, known as "the angel of death" at the Nazi's Auschwitz concentration camp, is blamed for the deaths of thousands of prisoners who were subjected to his sadistic pseudo-medical experiments. A medical doctor, Mengele also selected new arrivals to be put to death in the gas chambers. He was granted Paraguayan citizenship in 1959. West Germany asked Paraguay for Mengele's estradition in 1962 and the govern ment issued a warrant for his arrest; but said it could not find him.
