Mediators Seek End To Newspaper Strike
NEW YORK UPI—Federal mediators today began efforts to settle a New York Newspaper Guild strike that could cause collapse of the World Journal Tribune before any of its newly merged papers appear
in print
The guild’s 1,800 editorial and office workers went on strike Sunday night, posting pickets outside offices of the three papers absorbed in the merger —the New York World-Tele-gram and The Sun, the New York Journal-American and the New York Herald Tribune. The strike resulted from a dispute' over the manner of choosing 904 guild members whose jobs were to be lost in the merger. The company wants the prerogative to pick and choose, while the guild wanted employes with most seniority to be retained.
Nine craft unions supported the strike, and the inaugural editions of the morning Herald Tribune and evening World Journal were unable to publish as planned. The merged corporation also planned to publish a Sunday newspaper, the World Journal Tribune. The strike coincided with the opening of the American Newspaper Publishers Association convention in New York. ANPA President Gene Robb of the Albany, N. Y. Times-Union and Knickerbocker News, warned that because of it, the merged papers may never publish. “Unless the issues can be quickly resolved — and I am talking about a matter of days —it is entirely possible the World Journal Tribune company will never publish a newspaper," he said.

Say McNamara Ignored Advice
WASHINGTON UPI — The Senate Armed Services Committee said today that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara ignored the advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when he refused to push forward with the costly Nike-X anti-missile system. The committee said the Joint Chiefs unainmously backed a move to finance pre-production costs of the Nike-X, a project McNamara wants to keep in the teas expensive research and development category again tMa year. ' The committee’s report marked the second time in three days that key congressmen have taken abaxp issue
with McNamara over a major defense policy decision. During the weekend a House armed services subcommittee suggested he planned a cutback in the U. S. manned bomber force against the advice of military and civilian advisers in the Pentagon. McNamara called a news conference Monday to reply to the House subcommittee’s charges, and branded the panel's report “shockingly distorted.” He said there was complete agreement among Pentagon leaders on ail the issues involved, with one exception. This was a cut of $11.8 million from tAo $23 million sought by the
Joint Chiefs for faster research and development of an advanced bomber for the 1970s, he said. As for the anti-missile missile battle, the Senate committee last week tacked on to the $17 bilhon military authorization bill an extra $167.9 million to finance initial steps for deployment of the Nike-X system. In its printed report on the measure today the committee said financing of pre-production items now “could save almost cme year in the time required between a deployment decision and attainment of first operational capability." The final decision on whether to deploy Nike-X is "of tran-
scendent importance,” the committee said, adding that the pre-production cost was “rea sonably priced insurance when one considers the consequences of being attacked without any protection.” The Pentagon already has spent more than $2 billion in research and development on Nike-X over the years. The system involves a complex aray of radars and the longrange interceptor sprint mtissle. McNamara has estimated that the cost of full-scale deployment of Nike X could be $30 billion. He has opposed
