HALABY TERMS FLIGHT
ENGINEERS STAND ON
STRIKE IS "PURE BUNK"
WASHINGTON VPf — A principle
union claim in the present airline
labor controversy — that a flight
engineer must be a qualified me
chanic in order to operate jet
planes safely — has been termed
pure bunk by the government's
top civil aviation official.
Najeeb Halaby, Federal Avia
tion Administrator, says such a
claim as advanced by the Flight
Engineers International Assn, is
“a base lie.”
“Any spokesman for the Flight
Engineers Assn, who claims that
air safety is involved, or compro
mised,” Halaby said, “is just ir
responsible and distorting the situ
ation for his own end. There is
no safety compromise, and there
won’t be any.”
Government officials made pub
lic here portions of a news confer
ence Halaby held on the matter
Monday at the Investment Banking
Assn. Convention at Santa Barbara,
Calif.
It was believed to be the first
time a top government official has
said a jet plane can be operated
just as safely whether the flight
engineer is a skilled mechanic or
not.
In a refinement of the term
featherbedding, as indicative of
the function of useless employes,
Halaby also said that the practice
of some airlines in using four-man
crews to operate Jets is mere
“featherbedding.” He plainly saw
the three-man crews operating for
some airlines as sufficient.

ACTOR JAMES GARNER
GETS PUSHED AROUND
BY POLICE IN GERMANY
MUNICH, Germany UR — Amer
ican actor James Gamer said yes
terday he was clubbed and pushed
by police in the weekend rioting
in the Bohemian quarter of Schwa
bing.
Garner, from Los Angeles, is
making a picture here. He said
he was walking in Schwabing Sat
urday night when police stopped
him.
“I found myself in the middle of
a crowd,” Garner said. “Suddenly
a group of police stopped me. I
told them I was American but
they pushed me to one side and
one of them grabbed my wallet,
which was sticking out of the back
of my slacks.
“My passport and about $400
were in it and he was just about
to throw it in the gutter when I
snatched it out of his hand.”
Garner, who is 6 feet 2 and
weighs about 190 pounds, said he
was later stopped again, together
with' two American soldiers who
were in uniform.
“Five or six police began push
ing me around and swinging at
me . with lead-weighted rubber
dubs and one of them hit my arm,”
Gamer said. “One soldier was
knocked to the ground and the
lower plate of his false teeth fell
out.”
Garner said he and the two
soldiers finally managed to escape
into the crowd.
“I was shocked, disappointed
and a little angry.” said the 34
year-old actor. “I just don't under
stand police hitting women — and
I saw quite a bit of that.”
Police earlier reported the arrest
of 200 persons, including three
Americans whom they did not
identify, in a post-midnight battle
with a crowd described as beat
niks. About 300 police were in
volved in the fifth straight night
of rioting in the Bohemian quar
ter.
The rioting began last Thursday
when police tried to break up an
impromptu concert by three young .
guitarists after residents had com
plained.
