ordered to drive on.
Following the attackers in
structions, he drove to the 240O
block Of Ninth street NV,
where he was told to pull up
at the curb. The attack fol-
lowed.
Mr.. GaZaway was beaten on
the head and slashed on the
stomach. face, left hand and
left leg. After stealing his
wallet, containing $25. and a
wristwatch, the trio got out OF
the car and disappeared.

(AP) "A new World Champion

Mr.. Lewis was described by

massive military buildup in

Board Ends
Effort 10 Settle
BOeinq Strike
BY the Associated Press

A presidential board has given
up its effort to settle a dis
pute between the Boeing Co.,
one of the giants of the aero
space industry, and the Ma
chinists Union.
"Our mediation efforts have
not been successful" said Saul
Wallen of Boston, chairman Of
the three-member board, yes
terday.
Mr.. Wallen's statement came
after the board met separately
with representatives of the COM
pany and the AFL-CIO Inter-
national Association of Ma
chiniSts.
He added that no further
mediation sessions are planned.
Barring some last-minute
development, Mr.. Wallen said,
the board will draft its report
to President Kennedy telling
him Of failure to resolve the
dispute. The report is due
January 5.
Up to Kennedy
Once he gets the report, Mr..
Kennedy could invoke the Taft
Hartley Act and direct the
Justice Department to seek an
injunction to bar the union
from striking during an 80-day
cooling off" period.
Mr.. Kennedy used the Taft
Hartley Act in a dispute be-
tween Lockheed Aircraft Corp,
another major company in the
aerospace industry, and the
Machinists Union. Mr.. Ken
nedy said the strike, "if per-
mitted to recur or continue,
will imperil the national safety"
The boards attempt to reach
a Boeing settlement apparently
collapsed over the unions de-
mand for a union shop and the
company's unwillingness to
grant it.
Mr.. Wallen said he could not
discuss details of the boards
negotiations with the parties,
nor report it had put for
ward a compromise plan to get
around the union ship issue.
$4,000 Workers
Under the reported proposal,
present Boeing workers would
not have been required to join
the union, but all new work.
ers would be required to join
within 80 days. After two
months, however, they could
have withdrawn upon one-week
notice. Under a union shop,
all workers must join the union
with a specified time.
The union represents about
$4,000 hourly production and
maintenance workers in Boe-
ing plants IN Seattle, Wash,
and Wichita, Kans., and in
missile sites around the
country.
