Norfolk Southern Corp. released figures Monday showing 381 employees have accepted its early-retirement offer to nonunion workers. The retirement, effective Oct. 1, includes 94 Roanoke Valley employees, 62 percent of those eligible.

\ Honda Motor Co., battered by the high yen, said Monday it will make in the United States all the Accord and Civic automobiles it sells in North America. The move will cost 3,000 jobs in Japan by 1996, but it is not certain to add jobs in the United States. It means Honda can use more American workers who are paid in relatively cheap dollars, instead of paying Japanese workers in expensive yen.
