Airline Pilots Asked
To Postpone Strike
By Mediation Board

The National Mediation Board
today asked the Air Line Pilots
Association to postpone its
threatened strike against Amer
lean Airlines.
The board offered its services
to both sides in an effort to
settle the dispute. The boards
action was taken under the labor

There was no immediate

The company's 1900 pilots
threatened to strike at 1853

Need Industrial Authority.
Mr.. Wilson, also said the MILF
tary did not have sufficient au-
thority to protect industries with
defense contracts from Comnau-
mist infiltration. Senator Nc
Carthy, wisconsin Republican,
repeatedly made this charge dur
ing the Army Mccarthy hear
ings. He declared there now are
131 known Reds in defense
plants.
During the past four years
approximately 10000 contractor
plants and 100000 employees
working in such plants have been
cleared by the military depart
ments for secret, top secret and
Ia some cases for confidential
information" the Secretary tes-
titled. I'm addition, an esti-
mated two million employees have
been cleared by management to
have access to confidential in
formation only.
"At the present rate approx
mately 200 facilities and 1000
employees are being cleared by the
military departments per month.
According to our records the
number of persons denied clear
arce by our industrial security
boards in the last four years
has been 688.
I'm our opinion we do not
have sufficient legal authority to
fully protect all industries vital
to national defense from the
danger of subyersives and secur-
ity risks: We hope that the legis-
lation that has been proposed
to take care of an important part
of this problem will receive the
consideration we are sure it de-
serves" 4

Judge Bazelon said that "read

offered by the record. it (the
charge to the jury) is plainly
erroneous"
Referring to the trial judges
explanation, Judge Bazelon
wrote: In light of this explana-
ton, the attempted distinction
between mental disease and
mental disorder could we'll have
led the jury to conclude that
only if appellant suffered from
an abnormality due to physical
deterioration of or injury to the

charge in this respect was erro-
neous and highly prejudicial to
appellant"
Invasion" of Functions.
Today's opinion asserted that
the trial court invaded the COM
bined functions of the expert wit
ness and the jury by assertions
which had the effect Of treating
factual issues as though they had
already been settled by either
the testimony or the law"
Since the charge to the jury
was fatally defective, the con-
viction must be reversed and
the case renanded for a new
trial. the appellate court said.
At the trial, today'S opinion

Stewart was suffering from q
manic Oppressive pSychoSiS at the
time Of the crime and that,
although he probably knew right

range, he had no psychosis OF

"We are doing everything pos

the service those whose reten-
ton is not consistent with the
interests of national security"
Mr.. Milton testified. Additional
personnel have been assigned to

Loan TO UJA
Ratified Bv
Big Majority

The board of directors of the
Phoenix Jewish Community Coun-
Gil has voted 47-to-2 to ratify a
$65, 900 loan for the United Jewish
Appeal to aid Israel in funding it's
short-term debt, President David
Bush announced this week.
The balloting was conducted by
mail. Out of 55 ballots sent out, 40
were returned, said Bush.
The loan has been negotiated
through the First National Bank
of Arizona and the money will be
remitted to UJA on Saturday of
this week, Bush said.
go Million In
OF h er Jewish communities
throughout the nation also have
been asked to participate in the
precedent-making loan project, and
$50 million of the SIS million goal
already has been raised.
The loan is for five years, with
UJA guaranteeing it and paying
the interest. The sos, 900 borrowed
in Phoenix will be repaid over the
next five years, at the rate of
$13, 900 annually, with proceeds to
the United Jewish Welfare Fund
Drive.
To Bolster Economy
With the money thus obtained,
Israel will be able to retire debts
incurred when it was forced to
borrow money at high interest
rates to assimilate its great influx
of immigrants Immediately after
statehood. 1t is estimated that
the Jewish state thus will save $40
million in interest charges. In ad-
dition, its dollar reserve and gen.
eral economy will be greatly
strengthened.
Meanwhile, Executive Director
Hirsh Kaplan announced that a
last-minute compilation of returns
in the recent UJWF campaign
showed a total of $4,000 raised
so far. About $4,000 is still out
standing in unsolicited contacts, +"
he said. Campaign workers are
driving for a Saturday mop-up

reconsideration, Chasanow raised
the question of anti-Semitism as a
factor in the case.
The navy action came after the
American Jewish Congress had
called on the secretary of the navy
to determine whether anti-Semi-

charges that anti-Semitic motiva-
