dustry had been highly criti
cal of forest service policies

and Olympia, Wash.
But he praised the timber
management work of the Bu
reau of Land Management
and the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs - both under the Inter
ior department - and suggest
ed ihe Forest Service might
adopt some of the policies of
these agencies.
"I hope the two depart
ments will work together and
not engage In departmental
feuds," he said.
Magnuson told Cliff that
he was not interested in "rak
ing over" the past and in seek
ing to place the blame for
mistakes.
"But I am interested in
whore we go from here," he
dded.

Reasonable Time
To Give Answer
! Strike Deferred at
Least 24 Hours
i Washington - HIPP -The
! flight engineers union today
1 made a counter proposal in
its dispute with three major '
airlines and said it would de
fer a threatened strike for at
: least 24 hours to give them
time to answer.
The union offered to sub
mit the economic phases of
its dispute to binding arbitra
tion but stuck by its refusal
to let an impartial board rule
on the makeup of jet crews.
The carriers were told they
would be given a "reasonable
time" to answer and officials
later said no strike would be
called for at least 24 hours.
Union's Answer
The position of t h e engi
neers was made at a news
conference called to give the
union's answer to President
Kennedy's appeal Thursday
that a strike not be called
against the airlines - Pan
American, Eastern and Trans .
World.
Kennedy's appeal for arbi
tration of all issues in the dis
pute was rejected in a seven
page statement.
But the statement held the
door open to a strike-free set
tlement if the airlines agreed
to conditions outlined by the
union. -
Ron Brown, union presi
dent, said the engineers would
submit their demands over
wages, hours and working con
ditions to binding arbitration
if they were assured of con
tinued bargaining rights.
