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.

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.

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

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.

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

barred from trying to influence
any party member from exercis
ing his own judgment in regard
to ballot measures, candidates,

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

Committee introduced Boivin's
attempt to compromise the (lis

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

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.

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

The time has come, the Manager said, to think of many

unsold, and Washington's birthday. Traditionally a
"truth" day, it is the one day of the year when we throw
logic to the winds and come babbling forth with blazing

merchandise that is finally "goin' home," (we hope).
