On President's Orders Goldberg Confers On Airline Strike NEW YORK (UPI) President Kennedy stepped into the nation's worst airlines tieup Tuesday and ordered Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg to undertake new federal action to end the wildcat strike of flight engineers. The strike has grounded three major airlines, and three others maintained only token service. According to industry estimates, the ueup was costing tne airlines ?5 million a day. Sen. George Smathers, D-Fla., revealed in Washington that Ken nedy had transmitted some "new and original" ideas on how to obtain a strike settlement to Goldberg, who summoned President Ron Brown of the Flight Engineers Union to a conference. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger confirmed that I Kennedy had ordered new efforts by Goldberg but said the Presi dent was not taking a personal hand In the matter. The Washington development came as officials of the flight engineers' Pan American chapter began to answer subpoenas is sued by U. S. district court in Brooklyn to testify how the strike began. Pan, American has charged that union officials organized the wildcat walkout, but the officials have denied this. Officers of the union were or- derea to appear in the same court Monday to show cause why they sould not be held in con tempt for continuing the strike despite a court order. More than 75,000 airlines em ployei were furloughed Monday. Trans World Airlines, American Airlines and Eastern Air Lines rolled all their planes into hang ars and shut down completely. Pan American, National Airlines and Western Airlines were as good as closed down with up to 85 per cent of their employes laid off and only a token number of planes flying. An estimated 150,000 travelers in waiting rooms across the coun try discovered their airline tick ets were useless except for re funds. Air mail service also was threatened. Only one airline- United was still flying a coast- to-coast route. Only one North east still had normal service be tween New York and Florida points. The walkout began Friday in a wage dispute with Pan American but spread over a different issue a National Mediation Board ruling that flight engineers for united Air Lines from a single bargaining unit with the pilots. The flight engineers maintain that the order threatens the ex istence of their 3,500-man union. A seventh major airline, North west, has been crippled for a month by a strike of engineers belonging to a different union. From Page One . . Technology but it cannot end the threat of destructive warfare. Man needs a sense of fulfill ment that he can find only for himself, although "science may give you some gadgets to help." "There is not a crucial issue that can be solved by science." A population that is increasing at a fantastic and dangerous rate was cited as one of the world's really crucial issues. "We are surely going to be eaten out of house and home." But science is not in a position to stop the population explosion because too many religious, moral, economic and political questions are involved. What is needed, he suggested, is "education that leads people to understand the nature of growth. ' Kusch was critical of the large sums that have been spent on pace exploration. "I think the exploration of space is something man should undertake," he said. "Quite pos sibly he may learn things that will be valuable to man . . . but intense crash programs are a lit tle senseless and thoroughly extravagant." "A more temperate approach would be ultimately much more useful, he said. Some of the money now going into the space program could be spent more wisely, he suggested, noting, "That kind of dough would go a long way toward im proving Ameican educational en terprise. 'Education not only has not kept pace, in some respects it has even lagged behind." discussing the relationship be tween the scientist and the lay man Kusch said a gap does exist. "The layman1 lacks a feeling for the nature of science what you can expect it to do, and what you cannot expect it to do," he aid. Another illusion, he said, is the belief that "You scientists got us into this mess; you get us out" Kusch decribed this attitude as "nonsense." "All I know is some nuclear physics. These are social decisions."

Beach Bill Out Of Committee SALEM (UPI) The Senate Rules Committee has cleared for introduction a bill that would make future beach easements granted by the Oregon Land Board subject to a court review. The rules committee cleared the bill Monday afternoon. Sen. Robert Straub, D-Eugcne, is in troducing it. The requirement would be ef fective after the land board grants two easements to International Paper Co. for a pulp mill at Gardiner. The bills won final legislative approval Monday and went to the governor. One of the bills allows the company to run a waste carrying pipeline under the beach and out to sea. ... Under Straub's bill', beach ease ments issued by the board could be taken to court and challenged. Also, notice of a public hearing on a request atfecting a beach would have to be published in two newspapers once a week for four weeks. One paper would be in the affected county and the other of general circulation through the state. Tshombe Orders Mobilization In Congo's Katanga Province By RAY MOLONEY 01 the United Press Inlrrmtional From Page One . . . Dunes thorized by a bill both Morse and her late husband sponsored giv ing condemnation power to the Secretary of the Interior. Morse claims there are many parks in which private property remains intact within park bound aries. He said the guiding prin ciple on the question of exercis ing eminent domain is clear pub lic necessity in some insances only through condemnation can land be acquired for a park; but in other instances, such as the Oregon Coast, with its abundance of public or state land, there is no necessity to condemn. "The important thing, from a recreational standpoint, is to get the park established," Morse said "Let's do it without giving the secretary the power of eminent domain, and then see what hap pens. If it can then be demon strated that the public necessity demands condemnation of private property, this power can always be granted by Congress later. But there is no reason to go all the' way immediately when it may not he necessary." I Morse said he thought a good compromise bill might contain gome zoning code requirements, but he did not favor giving the Sercetary of the Interior the au thority to approve or disapprove zoning codes as the criterion, for determining whether to exercise eminent domain. Rep. Edwin R. Durno, the new Republican congressman in whose district the park would be lo cated, had not had a chance to examine the new bill before it was introduced Monday. He has previously expressed general op position to the idea. 60 Arrested After Revolt CARACAS.

The government announced only the arrest of Col. Jose Edito Ramirez, accused of leading the abortive uprising, but reliable sources said others arrested in cluded at least SO civilians and a Roman Catholic priest - The informants said the priest was tne Kev. Simon Salvatierra and that it was he who an nounced over a local radio sta tion that the armed forces had taken over power.

SALEM W An attempt to I curb the power of Oregon's po litical particstand their officers was launched Tuesday with in-i traduction of a bill by the Senate Elections Committee. The bill, endorsed by Senate President Harry Boivin, would prohibit state party conventions from endorsing any candidates. The conventions' also would be barred from trying to influence any party member from exercis ing his own judgment in regard to ballot measures, candidates, selections of public officers and legislative action. OFFICE BARRED It also would prevent any party officer, including the na uonal committeemen and com- mitteewomen, from seeking any elective public office. It would not affect present office holders during their current terms. The Democratic state chair man, Robert W. Straub of Eu gene, is a member of the Oregon Senate. The bill is the aftermath of the 1959 Democratic state con vention. It attempted ' to bind Democratic state senators to sup port Sen. Alfred H. Corbett, D-! Portland, in his race for presi dent of the Senate. Boivin, also a Democrat, was elected with the support of Republicans and some Democrats, although Corbett had the support of a majority of the Senate .Democrats. A bill has been Introduced in the House which would have the state party conventions elect dele gates to national party conven tions, and also make nominations for national committeemen and committeewomen. WELFARE PROPOSAL The Senate Health and Welfare Committee introduced Boivin's attempt to compromise the (lis ently in an attempt to nullify a U.N. order for all foreign and military advisers to get out of the Congo. H said the frontiers will be closed if necessary to prevent foreigners from leaving. Tshombe's order calling up all black and white inhabitants for defense of his mineral-rich land was announced in a broadcast over Elisabethville radio. It came a few hours after the U. N. Security Council in New York adopted a resolution em powering secretary - general Dag Hammarskjold to use force if necessary to prevent civil war in the Congo. Tshombe preceded his radio or der with an appeal at a news conference to all African mem bers of the U. N. to press for postponement of any move! to carry out the Security Council resolution. He also called for a conference of all Congolese lead ers to be held in Geneva March 6. 'Death March' Suits Dismissed ALEXANDRIA, Va. (UPI Federal District Judge Albert Bryan dismissed Monday three damage suits totaling $600,000 which arose from the 1956 "death march" of a Marine Corps pla toon at Parris Island, S. C. The suits were filed by the families of three of the six Ma rine recruits who were drowned when the training march" led through Ribbon Creek. Bryan said the defendants, including former Marine Commandant Gen. Randolph Pate and 15 subordi nates, were not liable to civil suit because of an official action. The suits were filed by the families of Jerry Lamonte Thom as, 17, Fairfax County, Va.; Nor man A. Wood, 17, Bay Shore, Long Island, N. Y., and Leroy Thompson, 18, Brooklyn, N. Y. Blast, Glow Are Reported Slate police early Tuesday re ceived a report of a loud explo sion and a bright glow in the sky heard and seen by residents of the Cedar Flats area east of Springfield. State police and the Lane County Sheriff's office sent cars to investigate the reports, but they were unable to find the source or cause. Harvey Hilton of 9990 McKen- zie Highway called state police about 4:15 a.m. He said he and his wife and several neighbors had been awakened by the blast. A bright glow was visible in the sky to the southeast, appar ently somewhere in the Jasper area, Hilton said. The glow slow ly faded away, he said. Federal Aviation Authorities at Mahlon Sweet Field north of Eu gene said they had received no reports of planes down or over due in the area. pute between Gov. Mark Hatfield and the Public Welfare Commis sion. But Hatfield has shown no inclination to compromise his de mand that the commission be abolished. The bill would create a five- member Welfare Commission, which would include a county welfare commissioner, and a county judge or commissioner. The present commission consists of seven members. The governor appoints it, as he would appoint the proposed new commission. The new measure provides that the commission would appoint the welfare administrator, with the consent of the governor. But only the commission could re move the administrator. The commission now has the sole power to appoint and remove the administrator. AMENDMENT OFFERED Sen. R. F. Chapman, R-Coos Bay, introduced a proposed constitu tional amendment providing that appointees to elective offices must be of the same - political party as the person who vacated the office. This now is the law, but putting it in the Constitu tion would make it impossible for the Legislature to change it. The House Fish and Game Committee introduced a bill to prohibit removal of sand and gravel from fish spawning areas without notice to the Fish and Game Commissions then would work out plan to see that the fish were not damaged. A bill by Rep. Arthur P. Ire land, R-Forest Grove, would ap propriate $10 million to be given to the counties to reduce proper ty taxes. And a new measure by Rep. . Kcsslcr R. Cannon, R-Bend, au thorizes state agencies to revoke licenses because of false or mis leading advertising.
