And five days later, he got a prompt reply from the client, asking him to clear up a point that wasn't quite clear. So he wrote again, and he got another prompt reply from the client which said, "Thanks very much. But. while I was waiting for your second letter, your competitor called me Long Distance.

Deadline Extended on Proposal Made In Flight Engineer's Wildcat Strike Washington - (UPD - Five ma jor airlines hit by. the wildcat flight engineers strike agreed today to a two-hour extension of the deadline on their pro posal to carry out no reprisals if the engineers returned to work. The agreement to extend the deadline to 2 p.m. (e.s.t.) was announced by the White House minutes before the deadline was to expire. The agreement was worked out by Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg who planned to confer with President Ken nedy before the new deadline in an effort' to end the worst tie-up of airlines in U.S. his tory. The White House said short ly before noon that Goldberg was attempting to reach the president of Western Airlines, Stock List Firm During First Hour New York -IUPI)- Stocks be gan showing firming tenden cies in the first hour today on extremely heavy turnover..

Western on Spot White House sources re ported earlier that Kennedy had been told that the strike could be solved if Western agreed to rehire 130 dismissed, engineers. , Western dismissed the engi neers two days ago and said they would be replaced with pilots as soon as- these men were trained in the engineers' duties. , " The other five airlines have agreed to resume operations without .. changing the job status of the engineers while a presidential commission un dertakes a study of the dis pute. It was this guarantee that had been scheduled to ex pire at noon but was extend ed. ., President Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the White House understood , that if Western would join the other air lines in the no reprisal agreement, the strike could be settled immediately. Other Negotiations During the two-hour grace period, Goldberg hoped to obtain this necessary agree ment from the officials of Western. A spokesman for the flight engineers confirmed that re instatement of the Western employes and assurances of no reprisals would clear the way for an end to the six-day-old strike. Outside of the situation involving Western, only a few details remain to be worked out, the spokes man said. The Labor Secretary told Oregon Leading Nation In Per Capita Autos Portland-IUPD-There are more automobiles per capita in Oregon than any other state in the union, according to Walter C. iLunsford, guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Oregon Highway Lifesavers Wednesday. ' Lunsford said there is one car for every two persons in the state. He predicted a greater density in the future and said it would create a great challenge for student drivers. Lunsford, western regional representative for the Auto Industries Highway Safety committee, San Mateo, Calif., said, the high ownership rate is due to Oregon's "substantial middle class population." - 1 He said we have moved from the horseless carriage into the high mechanized age without major advances in basic safety awareness. V , He said legislation that would raise the age teen-agers can get drivers licenses misses the point. Lunsford also said there were 462 lives lost on Oregon's highways last year with a monetary loss of $76 million, or some $46 for every man; woman and child in "the state.

Negotiations went on Wednesday night and early this morning, until 2:45 a.m., without success. The three-man commission named by President Kennedy to investigate the strike planned to meet today wih representatives of the engi neers, the airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association to discuss procedures for the in vestigation. Feeling of Optimism Commission Chairman Na than Feinsinger, a- law profes sor at the University of Wis consin, said he was operating on the assumption the strike would end today. But he said the only basis, he had for it was "a general feeling of op timism." . The airlines claim the strike is costing them $5 million a day, and nearly 100,000 other non-striking workers have been paid off due to the strike. Their walkout was touched off by a National Mediation Board ruling last Feb. 6 which ordered United Air Lines flight engineers and pilots to vote for a single union.
