Airline Strike Settlement
Pact Protects
Jobs Of 600
Engineers
WASHINGTON (AP) Settle
ment of the engineers' strike
threat against Trans World Air
lines was announced today by
Secretary of Labor Arthur J.
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.

Kellogg Span
Damage Suit
By DICK KERRUISH
News-Review Staff Writer
The state of Oregon through its
state Highway Commission has
filed a $44,269.33 suit for damages
against Roy W. Simmons, owner
of a logging truck which was driv
en onto the Kellogg Bridge when
a span collapsed on Sept. 22, 1961.
A complaint, filed in Douglas
County Circuit Court Wednesday,
alleges that as result of defend
ant's negligence "the truck and
logs collided violently with struc
tural members of the bridge, there
by causing the north span. . .to
collapse and be totally destroyed."
Other Suit Filed
Simmons since the accident has
also filed suit. His action was
against three officials of the state
Highway Commission. This case,
also filed in the Douglas County
Circuit Court, 'has not been set for
trial. The truck owner's complaint
claimed damages of $50,000 and
$4,100 on two separate causes of
action. Simmons claimed the
bridge was in a state of disrepair,
causing its collapse.
Simmons' truck and another ve
hicle dropped to the river bed
when the bridge span collapsed.
The bridge crosses the Umpqua
River on the Elkton-Sutherlin High
way! The Highway Commission com
plaint states the bridge is a three
span truss type of steel girder con
struction. According to the com
plaint, the truck, driven by Rob
ert C. Farson, was heavily loaded
with Douglas fir logs.
Negligence Charged
Plaintiff alleges defendant was
negligent In operating his vehicle
at an unreasonably high rate of
speed,' failing to maintain proper
control, operating the vehicle on
the left half of the highway, driv
ing the vehicle into and against
the structural members of the
bridge and operating the vehicle
on a highway with a load of logs
not securely loaded.
Complaint also alleges defend
ant was transporting a load of ap
proximately 30 logs, exceeding 16
feet in length, without securing
the load with at least four evenly
spaced binders having a breaking
strength of not less than 15,000
pounds.
- Plaintiff claims $43,283.12 dam
ages for loss and destruction of
the bridge span, after salvage;
$856.49 for opening and maintain
ing a detour and $129.74 as cost of
removing truck from the river bed.

"It was a tearful reunion,"

Ironically, Clifford was found in
the opposite direction from which
most of the search was conducted.
Bloodhounds had repeatedly 1 e d
searchers to the Clear Lake road.
The lake was dragged Wednes
day, It turned out that a pair of
shorts found in the area did not
belong to the boy and footprints
on various roads were not his.
"What's all the excitement
about?", Clifford said shortly aft
er he was returned to the camp
ground. "I just started to take a little
hike," he Sold. "Then I decided
to walk a little farther."
Sleeps By Logs
"I slept by logs." He said he
drank a lot of water "but some
times it was kind of hard be
cause it leaked through my
hands."
He said he heard a helicopter
Monday, but saw no people.
The blue-eyed first grader suf
fered numerous scratches on his
hands and face from brush.
The family physician, D r.
George Nash, said "he's in re
markably good condition, mostly
just tired, NThe reason he's in
such good condition is that he
got adequate sleep and drank lots
of good mountain water."
Some 500 persons took part in
the search. But after all appar
ent leads reached a dead end,
most searchers left. His parents
and grandparents remained be

The parents brought him home

Having failed to bring French

ZVt 'hours from his busy schedule

of continued full U. S. support for

Rusk will fly to Bonn this even

and Foreign Minister Gerhard

Rusk wound up his Paris talks

Rusk made It clear that
although the United States must
rccognizo French nuclear arma
ment as a fact, it still objects to
the "proliferation" of nuclear
striking forces in the world.
Rusk and French officials clear
ed up some misunderstandings
about each other's intontions but
there was not even a hint that
either side sympathized with the
other's point of view. '
At one point Rusk asked wheth

nuclear force had been es
