Renew Negotiations On Eastern Strike
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A renewal of negotiations today brightened hopes for a quick settlement of the 34-day-old Eastern Air Lines strike. Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg planned to preside at another peace-making session with Eastern management and representatives of the striking flight engineers' union. The session was scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT. Eastern President Malcolm A. Maclntyre agreed Wednesday night to attend the talks after twice rejecting Goldberg's proposal for settlement of the walkout. This concession raised hopes of some government officials that a way would be found to reach an agreement that would end the tieup. Observers said that failure of a mass back-to-work movement may have led to Eastern's decision to renew efforts to negotiate a n agreement. The flight engineers reported that 30 of 575 strikers returned to their jobs at Eastern’s demand.

The airline had threatened to deprive engineers who failed to return by midnight Tuesday of job rights on jet planes. Eastern did not make any report on the number of engineers who returned. It again flew token jet flights between New York and Miami for the second consecutive day, however. Goldberg's proposal involves arbitration of pay rates and other economic issues and settlement of the complex jet crew dispute along the lines of a formula worked out between flight engineers and Trans World Airlines.

Basically, TWA formula calls for the company to pay for retraining of flight engineers as pilots. The engineers also would be given the third seat in jet cockpits when the crews are reduced from four to three. Public Schools Are Ordered To Re-open RICHMOND, Va. (UPI) — A federal judge today ordered Prince Edward County, Va., to re-open its public schools by Sept. 7. The county abandoned public education in 1959 to avoid integration. “The School Board of Prince Edward county is herewith directed to complete plans for the admission of pupils in the elementary and high schools of the county without regard to race or color and to receive and consider applications to this end at the earliest practical date,” said U.S. District Judge Oren R. Lewis in his ruling. Prince Edwara county, an original defendant in the Supreme court’s historic case, closed its entire school system in the face of a federal court desegregation order in 1959. Since then, most of the county’s 1,300 white children have been attending private schols set up in the county while most of the 1,700 Negro children have gone I without formal education. ' Lewis held that Prince Edward’s schools may not be closed to avoid the U. S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision wlych outlawed school segregation while Virginia permits other public schools to remain open at taxpayers’ expense. Lewis said he wants the county to submit to his court on Sept. 7 its plan for carrying out the court’s ruling. Hearing Scheduled On Temporary Pier VALPARAISO, Ind. (UPI) — A public hearing was scheduled here today by the Army Corps of Engineers on the proposed construction of a temporary pier from the Indiana shoreline into Lake Michigan to facilitiate the removal of said from the Indiana dunes. Purpose of the hearing was to determine the effect of the pier on navigation in the lake. The pier was planned by Missouri Valley Dredging Co., Omaha, and Mary Construction Co., Cape Girareau, Mo., under terms of a contract to purchase sand as fill for Northwestern Universitys campus extension into Lake Michigan at Chicago. Northwestern inadvertently drew criticism from dunes preservation proponents for desecrating the area but promptly countered that when it contracted for purchase of the sand it had no idea where the material would come from. Northwestern tried to back out of the deal to avoid further criticism but Bethlehem Steel Co., through whose trustee the contract with the dregding and construction firm was negotiated, refused to permit withdrawal. The sand removal is scheduled in an area near Burns Ditch, where most Indiana state officials favor construction of a Hoosier port they believe would greatly boost the states economy. Conservationists, led by Sen. Paul port site contending it should be Douglas of Illinois, oppose the part of a national park and that CQnupareiaiuation of the area would ruin the natural resources of the historic duneland.

Seek Clarification Os Law.On Abortion PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD-Medi-cal authorities today awaited action on a suit to determine the legality of an abortion recommended for an expe.ctant mother who took tranquilizers that doctors fear might deform her unborn child. Plaintiffs in the Superior Court suit were Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Finkbine and Good Samaritan Hospital. The abortion, recommended for Mrs. Finkbine, a prominent Phoenix television personality who is hostess for the “Romper Room” daily children’s show, was held in abeyance while legal clarification and determination of the medical need of the operation was sought. Named defendants in the suit were the Arizona attorney general and the Maricopa County attorney. The suit challenges the legality of the Arizona abortion laws and series to obtain an exact definition of these statutes. The operation was recommended after a drug the woman took, thalidomide, was found to cause deformities in children. Mrs. Finkbine, the mother of four children, took a tranquilizer containng the substance early in her pregnancy — the most dangerous time, according to doctors. Stephen Morris, Good Samaritan Hospital administrator, said the court action was taken to obtain an interpretation of Arizona laws as to the legality of an abortion under such circumstances. Morris said the hospital insisted on further medical and legal determination to see if care “should be and can be given to the woman.” He said legal aspects of the case prompted the suit. “Under the proper medical recommendations,” said Morris, “and if it is within the legality of the laws of Arizona, we will want to make our facilities available to ths woman.” Mrs. Finkbine obtained the transquilizers from her husband who got them for her in Europe. They were removed from the European market when it was determined they caused deformities in children. Stole SBO To Take In Church Convention JACKSON, Miss.

Laos Premier In States To Meet Kennedy WASHINGTON (UPD - Prince Souvanna Phouma, neutralist premier of the new coalition government of Laos, arrives today for talks with President Kennedy and other officials on the future of his country. The Laotian premier was due here at 3 p.m. CDT. Souvanna Phouma, c hosen to preside over a cabinet of Communist, pro-Western and uncommitted officials, was flying from Geneva where representatives of 14 nations last Monday signed a pact guaranteeing the independence and neutrality of the tiny kingdom. U.S. officials said there were several reasons for inviting Souvanna to visit Washington at this time. They said they wanted: —To get his ideas on the kind and amount of economic aid he believes would be useful under the new regime, which also plans to take assistance from Communist and other countries. The United States wants to give concrete project assistance in place of the budgetary support it provided the pro - Western regime of Prince Boun Oum. —Find out how Souvanna proposed to go about integrating proCommunist and Western military forces into a national militia and reduce ranks to the relatively small number required by a truly ‘neutral’’ country.
THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1962
—Talk about how the International Control Commission composed of representatives of neutralist India, Communist Poland Canada, can fulfill its task of removing foreign troops, principally from Communist North Viet Nam, from the troubled country. —Give the new premier as big a prestige send-off as possible to help him in coping with his admittedly difficult tasks. He already has visited Moscow a couple of times. Save-Dunes Council Crilicizes Foltz FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD — The Save the Dunes Council, Inc., today critized Indiana Conservation Director Donald Foltz for proposing expansion of Dunes State Park and Governor Welsh for turning down Foltz’s proposal. The council complained in a statement issued through its publice relations office here that it took “a fairly dim view” of the Foltz proposal “because the addition of only 2,000 acres to the Dunes State Park is entirely inadequate to meet the needs.” Foltz proposd spending $1.2 million to expand the park. Press director Thomas E. Dustin said Welsh was “willing to throvz SBO million down the sewer for a worthless Burns Ditch port, but rejects the investment of $1.2 in America’s natural heritage.” Despite critizing the Foltz proposal as inadequate, Dustin said Foltz “apparently is the only man in the state administration touched by the catastrophic natural loss America will suffer if it surrenders all of the dunes to a steel mill or land speculators.”
