32,000 Aircraft Workers Strike
Los Angeles—(U.P.)About 32,000 North American Aviation employees struck today, threatening to halt production of the Air Force's new F-100 Super Sabre and of the F-86 Sabre Jets of Korean War fame.
CIO United Auto Workers members walked out in plants at Los Angeles and at Columbus, O., at midnight last night when the Union's contract expired.
At Columbus, E. D. Starkweather, director of industrial relations at North American said "it has been apparent from the beginning of negotiations that the leaders of CIO-United Auto Workers had no intention of reaching an agreement.
Another 1,100 employees were expected to walk out at North America's plant at midnight tonight when the UAW contract there expires.
"Even while negotiations were going on in Los Angeles under the supervision of U.S. conciliator John Fenton, word came through that the Union had walked out at Columbus and had established picket lines." Starkweather said.
"Although North American offered wage increases from six to 18 cents an hour, increased life, hospitalization, and surgical benefits, the Union leaders took their strike vote before letting their members have a chance to vote on this offer." Starkweather asserted.
"That they had planned it that way was evident when they scheduled meetings to consider the offer after strike action had been taken."
North American unveiled its production model of the Super Sabre only this week. Air Force officials said the supersonic jet fighter would give this country air superiority.
In addition to the Super Sabre, company officials said production will be paralyzed for the F-86 jet fighter, the F-86-D jet interceptor, the F-J-2 Fury, and the propeller-driven T-28 trainer if the strike continues.

Museum Shows Landscape Art
Ten drawings and a painting by James Renwick Brevoort, 19th century. American artist, now are display in the northwest room in the Museum of Art.
The painting and the drawings are part of a collection owned by Robert Gajdusek, English department instructor. Mr. Gajdusek bought them at an auction in Long Island, N.Y., from an owner who thought he was merely clearing his attic.
Mr. Brevoot, a member of Hudson River school of art, specialized in landscape drawings. His work indicates a trend in American art according to Dr. Klaus Berger, associate professor of art history.
Most of the drawings on exhibit are pencil sketches of New England landscapes during Brevoot's summer holidays.
"The single painting by Brevoot
is exhibited to show the sort of work for which the drawings were made, and to show the artist's talent in painting, which is slightly inferior to his talent in drawing," Dr. Berger explained.
Burmese Chides UN On 'Banker's Hours'
