American Professionalism Join in Approval of
 Artificial Birth-COntrOl

SYRACUSE, N. Y. tR - Repre- sentatives of the bulk of Ameri- can Professionalism joined in ap. proving a widely used but religi- ously explosive practice - artifi- cial birth-control.
 After extended discussion, the policy-making general board of the National Council of Churches endorsed such methods as morally Christian, an adjunct to whole some home life and an aid in world population problems.
 The U. s. government was asked to supply birth control help to countries that ask for it, a move previously stunned by Washington. The statement also deplored state laws restricting birth services.
 They "violate the civil religious liberties of all citizens, including Protestants,' the statement said.
 It was the first collective Pro- testant announcement on the subject, although numerous in dividual denominations previously have taken similar action.
 Eastern Orthodox churches, all so members of the council, ab- stained from the vote by advance agreement. They traditionally have opposed contraception, as do Roman Catholics.
 Dr. Harold Haas, of New York City, a United Lutheran Social Welfare official, who presented the measure, said it sought to stress "the spiritual implications of marriage"
 While upholding collaborating as "divinely ordained purpose" of marriage, it said the sustaining of mutual love between husband and wife, apart from reproduc- tion, also was "ordained of God" 7"

two more to get all schedules going again.
 Miami Beach estimated it's reve- nue loss at $3 million a day dur ing the strike. So did the Carib- bean area including Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Ba- hamas.
 The end of the strike was an- nounced personally yesterday by President Kennedy.
 Flight engineers agreed to go back to work immediately while a Presidential Commission start ed work on finding a way of remedying the basic cause of their strike.
 Kennedy made the announce ment at the White House. At his side was Secretary of Labor Gold berg, who had a large part in bringing about the end of the walkout.
 Six airlineS - Pan American, American, Trans World, Eastern, National and Flying Tigers - be- gan cranking up their operations last night. All were resuming many flights today and expected to be back to normal by Satur- day or Sunday.
 Western Airlines, one of those struck by the engineers, refused to join the agreement.

U. 5. Must Maintain Weapons Arsenal
 For Counter-BlOws

WASHINGTON lR - Secretary of Defense McNamara declared yesterday that dangerous un- certainties in the world demand that the United States maintain a weapons arsenal capable of launching decisive counter-bloWs after surviving a massive nuclear attack.
 The Pentagon chief said that this is the prime conclusion from a preliminary study in connection with the overall reappraisal of national strategy and military power ordered by President Ken nedy. He said the full exanina- ton of how America stands twill require many months of intensive effort"
 McNamara was before the House Armed Services Committee in response to an invitation from Chairman Carl Vinson to come and sketch the nations defense picture as the Kennedy Admins tration views it. The Secretary was accompanied by Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
 Reporters Barred
 Reporters were barred from the session, but were given copies of statement McNamara had pre- pared. They also were given an opening statement from vision in which the chairman said the com mittee must have the results of this re-examination (of the de- fense picture) before we proceed" to consider authorizing the pro- curement of ships, aircraft and missiles that will cost about SOS billion.
 Vinson said the committee not only wanted ''to get the big pie ture," but also would demand a detailed and specific accounting of what the United States now has to fight with, what it hopes to have and the best possible in- formation about the military ca pabilities of the Communist world.

JUNEAU lR - An Anchorage Republican told the House yes terday that members of the Legis- lature who do not live in the Southeast Alaska were annoyed to find we have no facts before us on the proposed Vocational Education School"
 Rep. James Parsons said mem bers of the House Health, Welfare and Education Committee had been told by Gov. Egan that no money has been spent on studies of the proposed school, to be con- structed North Of the Yukon River.
 On the other hand, Parsons said, complete studies and hear ings have been conducted on the proposed State Ferry System.
 "We came down here with open minds on the Ferry System and we appreciate the work that has been done," Parsons said, "but it is disturbing to find that similar studies have not been made on the projects called for by the five bond issues the people approved last Nov. 8.
 ''If we are going to make a study on one of these projects, we should

make studies on all of them"
 Parsons said the last Legisla- ture appropriated S172,0O0 for studies of the Ferry System and some S11,000 for studies of the Vocational Education School.
 In answer to a question by Rep. Bruce Kendall of Anchorage, Rep. Morgan Reed of Skagway, Chair man of the House State Affairs Committee, said some $23,000 of the $172,000 set aside for the Ferry System studies has been spent.
 Much of that money, Reed said, was used to obtain the services of bond attorneys for preparation of the ferry bonding proposition voted on last Nov. and also the bill which was prepared to im- plement the bond sale.
 Their advice, Reed said, was also used in drawing up the other five bonding propositions which appeared on the Nov. ballot and the implementing bills for the four which passed.

Airports Hum With Activity Again As Flight Engineers Strike Ends

NEW YORK R - Airports around the nation hummed with activity again today and the big passenger planes zoomed into the air in increasing numbers with the the end of flight engineers strike.
 The six-day work stoppage, worst tieup in American aviation history, it cost the airlines an esti- mated $40 million.
 Many more millions were lost by vacation resorts and indus tries connected with air travel. Railroads and bus lines reaped an unexpected reve nue harvest, however.
 Travel plans of an estimated 500,000 persons were affected dur ing the shutdown period. Many of them were stranded away from home when the strike began, and had difficulties obtaining alter nate transportation.
 With the whine of big jets and the roar of propeller-driven air craft once more on the runWays, Pan American World Airways was the first to restore full serv- ice. It announced this morning that operations were back to 100 per cent
 Other lines ranged downward to as low as 30 per cent. Some said it might take them a day or

Refuses to Vote
 For Anymore Appropriations

JUNEAU lR Sen. Brad Phillips of Anchorage told the Senate today he would refuse to vote for one more appropria- tion measure until I get some clear answers on the proposed S59 million budget for the coming year.
 ''I didn't come down here to assist in formulating a plan for the bankruptcy of the state" Phil lips said after taking the floor on special privilege.
 q have been sitting in this Senate for 33 days, and so far all we have witnessed is a pat tern for spending. This pattern was set forth in the Budget Mes sage.
 "This budget calls for $59 mil lion worth of appropriations, plus S33 million in bonded indebted ness.
 "It has been admitted that we must use all of our savings. Tn addition, we must use $6 million in federal grants which we can't expect again.
 "I want to serve notice on this body that I refuse to vote for one more appropriation or one more directive to spend until I have a clear answer from the ad- ministration to the question where is the $11R million coming from next year - and the year after that and the year after that until all our savings are gone? And the federal govern ment has stopped it's benevo- lence?"
 Phillips said that he was shocked yesterday" by the Sen ate's failure to pass a resolution on a "good business climate" in the state.
 Sen. George McNabb rose to label Phillips speech as pure un- adulterated political hogwash - designed to capture headlines.
 Senate President Frank Pera- trovich brought the discussion to close.
 Il think any budget discus sions are premature until the Fi- nance Committee comes out with it's report" Peratrovich said.
 In a statement after the ses- sion, Sen. Howard Bradshaw said that the Anchorage Republicans speech "did more to solidify the Democratic Party than they have been able to do for themselves"

By Virginia Sims

JUNEAU tR - The Chairman of the House Committee on Health, Welfare and Education said today she would favor a teachers pay increase that would cost out at about $11a million for the com ing year.
 The opinion was expressed by Rep. Dora M. Sweeney of Jul neau with a general breath-hold- ing attitude as the Finance Com mittees of the House and the Sen ate labored over their depart mental budget recommendation on Gov Egan's $59 million spend ing plan.
 Finance Committee Chairmen Sen. James Nolan and Rep. Frank Chapados indicated it would be at least another week before sub- committee reports will start to flow in and the budget bill begins to take shape in it's final form.
 Nolan and Chapados both agreed that any final thinking on teachers pay increases would have to await the balancing of the budget with proposed reve- nue income.
 Mrs. Sweeney said that her Health, Welfare and Education Committee has had under study five bills which call for teachers raises costing out at from $655,- 900 to $2,900,000 a year.
 The lowest proposed increase is that introduced by the Rules Committee at the request of Gov Egan. His proposed $655, ,000 boost would start with a basic salary of $5,000 for holders of bachelors degrees, but with no teaching ex- perience.
 Mrs Sweeney said her commit tee is thinking in terms of basic salary of $6,000.
 Mrs. Sweeney said the com mittee had decided against step ups allowing for additional hours of study between bachelors and masters degrees as proposed in all of the bills introduced. except that submitted by the governor.
 "That would cost an additional $150,OOO-$200,000, Mrs. Sween- ey said, "and since we're so pinched for funds, we've decided not to request it this year."
 She said that Ford Foundation survey of flask school finances was currently being conducted and that report on the Ford Foundation teams findings was expected next October.
 Until that report comes out, we're trying to do the best we
