The craft. empty except for

which Ham. the space chimp,

Redstone rocket, less powerful

Mr.. Gilruth said the three
were picked on the basis Of
"evaluation Of the large

nical information accumulated
during the initial pilot selec-
ton process in the 22-month
training program"
He emphasized that all seven
astronauts will be eligible for

ed $59.434 from TWA, $43. .469
from American, $4,000 from
Pan American. $16.700 from
United and $2,235 from Con-
tinental.
The payments had been de-
layed pending arbitration Of a
dispute as to the nature of
Eastern's pilot strike. That dis
pute was in protest Of the Fed
eral Aviation Agency's insist
ence that its inspectors occupy
the third pilots seat Of jets

Dispute Called Minor

said this was a minor dispute
in that Eastern was able To
continue operating Is per cent
of its flights. The CAB
arbitrator ruled December 81
that Eastern was entitled to
payments. and they have now
been completed.

ing rights and status. The Pres
ident directed the commission
to inquire into the dispute over
performance Of the flight en-
gineer's function, the Job Sc
curity Of employees performing
such function and related rep
resentation rights" Of the two
unions.
The National Mediation
Board has ruled that flight
engineers and pilots at United
should be q single unit for
purposes Of a. representation
election. The engineers fear
this decision will be extended
to other airlines and that their
union will be swallowed up by
the pilots union. They there
fore are demanding reversal Of
the decision.
Must Appeal in Court
Mr.. Goldberg emphasized
that the Mediation Board is an
Independent agency whose
rulings cannot be changed by
the President, myself or anyone
in the Executive Branch (be-
cause) we are a Government of
laws and not Of men," He said
the engineers can challenge the
boards decision only in the
courts.
Mr.. Goldberg, seeking to re-
assure the engineers, said the
boards decision in the United
case is not necessarily appli-
cable to other airlines. Mr..
Goldberg said Francis O'Neill,
chairman of the board, agreed
with him that the United de-
cision might not apply to other
airlines.
Mr.. Goldberg said the Wild
lcat strike had thrown almost
100000 persons out Of work,
and added I'VE can i'll afford
the human and economic dam
age"
Anticipating possible criti-
cism. Mr.. Goldberg said estab-
lishment Of the commission
would in no sense be incon-
sistent with or in derogation Of
the procedures Of the Railway
Labor Act" under which Mr..
O'Neill's board operates.

Further problems came last

learned that treated stainless
