At the same time, it now appeared unlike'y that the state will have to intervene in the

dispute, Governor Schricker said. He added that despite reports that he planned to invite management and union officials to meet in his office, he would take no action in any event unless negotiations now being conducted

by federal conciliators break down,

From other sources it was learned that the negotiation sessions = under federal auspices probably would be adjourned this afternoon for a long week-end breathing spell. It was expected the negotiations would be resumed Monday morning and labor sources expressed strong hope for a settlement shortly after that. Governor Schricker said he and Labor Commissioner Thomas R. Hutson discussed "the possibilities of offering the state's assistance in the negotiations. It is the policy of the stafe, however, not to interfere with the work of federal conciliators, he said.

Navy Scores ‘KO’ In Mock Air War

~The Navy's best jet fighter, the FZH Banshee, and “shot down” a plane much faster than the Air Force's B-36 bomber in mock combat at 40,000 feet, it was learned today.

was a major factor in the Navy's challenge to the Air Force to test the B-36 against the Banshee.

became a virtual certainty when the House Armed Services Committee passed a resolution calling for a series of “impartial” tests to determine the vulnerability of the B-38.

no existing jet fighters can “effectively” intercept the B-36, the world’s largest bomber. Air Force! officers now privately express wv. fidence: that the B-36 will demonstrate this against the Banshee, as it has against the F-80 Shooting Star, an Air Force jet fighter.
