In Washington, White House
press secretaries said United's
telegram had been received but
they were not authorized to release
it. Mr.. Truman went to Tennessee
today to dedicate an Air Force
testing center.
The President had earlier urged
the pilots. "as good Americans, :"
to end the strike Gin order that
the National Mediation Board
may use its best efforts to effect
an agreement"
Mr.. Behncke's telegram said in
part:
AFTER a 10-hour conference to-
day with the representatives of
the National Mediation Board,
the pilots Of United Air Lines
have expressed a willingness toI
return to the service Of United
Air Lines under truce arrange
ment.
During this truce period con-
ference between the company and
the pilots can be carried on, as
sisted by National Mediation
Board Federal mediators to re-
solve the remaining issues in dis
pute which precipitated the cur
rent strike action"
William A. Patterson. United's
president, said the company's
position was stated in q telegram
to Mr.. Truman. Mr.. Patterson
would not disclose its contents.
saying such details would have
to come from the White House.
Struck June 10.
Some 900 pilots struck June 10

of flying hours from 85 to 10 and
for extra money for handling the
newer. large capacity ships. The
Iwalkout grounded 220 passenger
and 1872 transport flights daily.
Company officials said substan-
Itial wage increases were offered the

Enemy Planes Reach
Target Areas Despite
Air Defense Network
BY The ksseeiai.d Pros.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo,
June 25.-The United States and
Canada tried out their growing
lair defense network this week end.
They found 1t still wanting.
/ Mock enemy bombers drilled
their way through clouds and val
Ileys past radar and civilian spot
tiers. Despite Jet interceptor
flights and simulated anti-aircraft
fire. they ranged over every vital
target area involved.
| But air defense command ON
Icials were happy with the prime
object Of the exercise: To test and
train thousands OF civilian VOL
|unteers In observation posts and
filter report centers.
The Western commander, Mai.
Gen. Hugo p. Rush. called them
Invaluable. At the same time, he
said both more volunteers and
more training are needed.
To Be Evaluated.
Their need was demonstrated
to the Eastern commander, Mai.
Gen. Frederic H. Smith, IT,, by
the bad weather which forced
simulated attackers to fly In at
low levels, often out Of the range
of radar.
The air defense center here
said it would release an eyaluation
later. But Gen. Smith pointed up
these other lessons:
A heavy mock attack from the
Atlantic emphasized q require
ment for assistance Of Navy radar
and fighters"
The penetrations showed the
need for anti-aircraft guns for
close-in defense at important
centers.
Navy Pilot Killed.
One Navy pilot was killed and
an Air Force and an Air National
Guard pilot were injured in the
Eastern phase Of the exercises.
The spotter arc swung from the
Carolinas up through New Eng
land. across the Great Lakes and
Minnesota. then down the Pacific
Coast. Some planes followed pre-
determined courses to train spot
tiers. Others tried to sneak through
the network.
