Page 4A EUGENE BEG1STER-GUARD, Tue., Aug. 21, 1962 Union Chief Denounces WEA Stand New York Strike Defended in Talk By FELIX B. WOI.D Of the Associated Press DETROIT President Carl J. Megel told the American Feder ation of Teachers (AKL-CIO) convention Tuesday the Na tional Education Assn. is trying to exterminate the teachers union. Megel, keynote speaker at the convention, said in a prepared address: "The NEA docs not expect to compete with us. It in tends to exterminate us." The AFT president's speech to approximately 750 delegates to the 46th annual convention contained his promised reply to attacks from the NEA on his union's policies. New York Strike He defended teacher union Ism and pledged increased or ganization of the AFT, inviting aid from the AFLCIO. The NEA, which claims 800,000 members in the teach ing profession, condemned the AFT's one-day strike last spring against the New York City pub- lie school system. In contrast to the 70,000-mem-ber AFT, the NEA policy calls for settlement of teacher griev ances by negotiation only. At its Denver convention earlier this year, however, the NEA approved a program of sanctions against offending schools or school districts. This would have a blacklisting effect. Mcgal said the NEA should be condemned "by every thoughtful teacher In the na tion" because of its attitude to ward the teachers federation. 'An All-Out War' "Instead of mobilizing its en ergies to resolve our common educational problems, the NEA chooses rather to declare an 'all-out' war against another teachers organization. For this the NEA should stand condemn ed by every thoughtful teacher in the nation." Megel said the issue 1s "not unionism versus professional ism but unionism versus NEA ism." "The fact is," he said, "that only through the forthright and democratic procedure of the union teacher movement can teaching become truly profes sional and respected." Mogcl, defending the New York strike, said it was under taken only after exhaustion of "all possibilities of honorable negotiations." He said the AFT prefers to negotiate all disputes. .''-FX " : I ill 'a i . m. 1 4 4 vtt Roll Damper Fails During X15 Flight EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif, if) Electronic gremlins hampered the X15 roc ket plane as it scorched through a heat flight with its metal skin glowing red and the fuselage mHking sounds like pistol shots. The gremlins caused Air Force Maj. Robert Rushworth's roll damper to fail thrco times Monday as the plane streaked five times the speed of sound, he said. The roll damper is a device designed to overcome rolling motions automatically. A hack up control system enabled Rush worth to complete the flight saf ely. Pilot Joseph A. Walker re ported similar trouble after a flight in another X15 last Tues day. The jaw damper which curbs side-to-side motions failed on that flight. I .V , ,. r ' -. i'J?3 ,'l.Wyi ir'H -t.. -.

D. t "I made some bargains with God but I always was sure that, somehow, I'd be rescued," Airman Gerald Becker said in telling about the 3'i days he spent trapped in an aban doned gold mine pit near here. The chance halt of a tour ist party brought his rescue Monday. Becker, 18, of Mapleton, Minn., had last Thursday night off from his duties as a mechanic at nearby Ells worth Air Force Base. He de cided to go swimming in Sheridan Lake. "But it was too cold and I started exploring instead," said Becker Monday night at the base hospital, where he is under observation. "I came across this big hole in the ground in the woods and started walking around it, peering down. All of a sudden the edge gave way and I fell SO feet to the bottom." After recovering from the initial shock, Becker looked for a hold on the shale and slate walls to enable him to climb out but found none. Then he started shouting for help. When darkness fell, he gave that up and made him self a primitive bed out of brush that had fallen into the pit. "But I couldn't sleep very much because it got pretty cold," he said.

"Every time I heard, or thought I heard, the faintest noise, I'd start shouting again but nobody came," Becker said. He had no food For wa ter he took the batteries out of his flashlight case and used it to gather ground drops that filtered down the sides of the pit. With the hope that smoke might attract attention, Beck er tore up papers from his billfold and started a fire. But he soon had to stamp it out because, with no ventila tion, the fumes began to choke him. Early Monday the vacation ing Pete Ptacek family from Phoenix, Ariz., stopped in the area to let their youngsters exercise. Becker heard them and called out. Ptacek hurred to a cabin resort near the lake for help. Two forestry men, a ranch er and Ptacek returned to the pit with a rope, and with it tied around his waist Becker made his way up the sheer wail. "All I could think of all the time was how my ma would be torn up if anything happened," said the airman. "Yes, I made some bargains with God but I always thought I'd be rescued and that confidence helped me along."
