Goldberg after an all-night bar gaining session in his office. The settlement, a victory for President Kennedy who had termed the threatened shutdown a menace to the national econo my, provides for orderly reduc tion of jet plane crews from four men to three. That had been the crux of the dispute, with the engineers insist, ing on terms which would main tain their cockpit job rights. The TWA agreement is expect ed to lift the threat of grounding the planes of two other major air lines, Pan American World Air ways and Eastern Airlines, which face the same problem of reduc ing crew numbers. Identity Assured Goldberg told reporters the pact protects the jobs of the 600 TWA members of the Flight Engineers International Association and as sures the continued identity of their union. Signs that an agreement was near appeared early in the day. The agreement, initialed at 10 a.m. by weary bargainers who have been in almost continuous session since Monday, is subject to ratification by the engineers. But approval is taken for granted by union officers here. Goldberg described the terms as noninflationary and said that by providing for orderly crew re duction they will produce savings for the airline many times -greater than whatever wage and work ing conditions terms are fixed in negotiations still to come. . The latter issues were disposed of in this fashion: The parties will negotiate for one week; at the end of that time any issue not resolved will be set tled by procedures to be specified by Nathan P. Feinsinger, special mediator in the case; the union and the airline have agreed to ac cept his recommendations and re frain from striking. Top Priority Given The settlement assures the en gineers, who must now qualify as pilots, that they will have top pri ority for assignment as the third man in the cockpit with two pilots. It also provides assurance, Goldberg said, that the 3,000-man engineers' union will not be swal lowed up in the 14,000-man Air Line Pilots Association as bar gaining representative for its members. The spokesman for the engi neers, Attorney Asher Schwartz, said the pact assures his organ ization "greater assurance in their jobs as flight engineers than they have ever had" under any contract.
