' JME TO THINK AGAIN
Jurisdictional labor disputes have plagued many a
basic American industry. An extreme example is provided
by the controversy between Pan American World Air
ways, wh'ch is this country's principal international air
lire, and its pilots.
A key issue involved h3S to do with a jurisdictional
dispute between the pilots union and the flight engineers'
union regarding the makeup of flight crews. The basic
argument concerns the refusal ol the pilots to operate
jet aircraft with a professional flight engineer at the en
q ?er'' st tin in the cockpit unless a third pilot is also
carried rr'crr,ber of the crew. As a matter of record.
Pan American and the Federal Aviation Agency have
accepted recorr. mend a t:oos for settlement of the dispute
made by a commission appointed by President Kennedy.
The President himself has termed the recommendations
"fair and equitable."
But the pilots union Has not agreed. In addition, the
p ofs have made demands for increases in wages and
reductions in working hours which, in the company's
well-grounded view, would "expand featherbedding to
e scaie hitherto unknown in American industry." Numbers
of these pilots now earn as much as $30,000 a year, and
the average is more than $18,000. Average cockpit time
for all Pan Am pilots in 1960 was 54 hours a month. Yet,
if current demands were met, Pan Am would have to
increase its pilot roster by 50 per cent.
The company also points out that the demands come
at a time when American airlines are falling behind
foreign carriers in carriage of North Atlantic air traffic
and when, as urged by the President, all U. S. industry is
be ng mustered to redress our current adverse balance of
payments. The pilots and their union, one can say in all
moderation, should think again.

From the Great Falls, Mon
tana, Tribune: “The pre-emin
ent position of the United
States among the nations of the
world in the development of
electricity from atomic sources,
and the contribution of inves
tor-owned electric companies
to that development have gone
largely unrecognized. Yet, the
advance of nuclear power tech
nology during recent years is
probably as important to the
future of the people of Am
erica as the latest experiments
in space travel . . . There are
now six nuclear power plants
in operation in this country.
Electric companies are operat
ing five of them. So far as we
know, there are more nuclear
power plants in the United
States than in any other nation
in the world . . .”

“WE WILL BURY YOU,” growled
the harsh voice at the other end of
the line.
“WHAT!” cried Ed Bryson, hardly
believing his ears.
“Your belief in God . . the voice
went on. “. . . an out-worn superstition
leading to foolish notions about democ
racy and freedom and human rights.
Communism will correct this.”
“Who do you think you’re talking
to?” blustered Ed.
“To you, Mr. Bryson. The Party
needs you to liberate your countrymen.
Encourage them to forget morality for
it is a myth. Conscience, it is cowardice.
Worship, it is weakness . . .”
“NO,” Ed exploded! “NYET if you
understand that better! We aren’t going
to forget the spiritual principles that
make the Free World strong. Our kind
of liberty is built on God’s Truth—and
you’ll never bury That. Go sell your
party line somewhere else. I’m on my
way to Church!”
THE CHURCH FOR ALL . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The ( hurch is ihe greatest factor
on ear>h for the building of char*
s t*r and good citizenship. It is a
storehouse of spiritual values. \\ ith
.oit <i strong Church, neither de
mocracy nor civilization ran sur
vive. There are four sound reasons
why every perron should attend
services regularly and support the
Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's
sake. (3) For the sake of his com
munity and nation. (4) For tha
sake of the Church, itself, which
needs his moral and material tup*
port. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
Of course, it was just a dream, Ed admits.
(Too much pie at bedtime.) And, thoughtfully,
he adds—it shouldn’t take a nightmare to make
s realize what we believe—and how to preserve
that Faith.
