Union president to talk on strikes
Despite the angered cries of tourists and foreigners who were stranded in our country's major airports last summer during the six-week machinists strike, H. E. Gilbert does not believe the airline strike was a great national emergency.
But the clamor was great for forced arbitration, said Gilbert, President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.
THIS AFTERNOON at 3:30 in the courtroom of Green Hall, Gilbert will be discussing "the so-called national emergency strike situations," labor relations in the railroad industry, and the Railway Labor Act.
Gilbert believes the Act has become an instrument of delay used by management to thwart real collective bargaining. He believes those causing the delay are bent on one goal: "to amend the Railway Labor Act . . . preventing railroad workers from striking."
Gilbert believes that collective bargaining is not working today, and if the Act is changed-by government boards-to dictate wages and working conditions, nationalization of the railroad industry will result.
Gilbert will also talk about the "horrors of compulsory arbitration and the 1963 arbitration law," and other topics in labor law.

Over 16 years ago, Worlds in Collision, the first of Immanuel Velikovsky's books was published.
"There was a response which for intensity and hostility was unequaled in twentieth century scientific history," writes Robert K. Kirsch, Book Editor, Los Angeles Times (November 30, 1966). "Yet Dr. Velikovsky persisted against massive interdict . . . He had cut across disciplinary lines seeking synthesis, utilizing myth, ancient history, psychology as well as geology, physics, astronomy to formulate his cosmology . . . Yet the new information gathered in recent space probes has tended to bear out his projections . . ."
David Stove,Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Sydney University, writing in The Australian (December 31, 1966) on "Immanuel Vellikovsky's theory, its reception, and its subsequent confirmations," saws:
"There is no more fascinating story in this century . . . The scientific establishment reacted with unparalleled fury . . . So many having made knaves of themselves, it is gratifying that they have made fools of themselves, too . . . Not only have the professionals failed utterly in their attempts to show that this kind of theory is impossible; since 1950 many of the things which Velikovsky's particular theory requires, but which were totally unexpected on received theories, have turned out to be true. Jupiter does suffer explosions of enormous energy; Venus is far hotter than anyone else anticipated; its atmosphere is rich in hydrocarbons; its motion is anomalous (the rotation being retrograde) — to mention only a few confirmations. Not one of Velikovsky's predictions, on the other hand, has turned out false . . ."
In particular, NASA reports of the Mars probe (Mariner IV) and the Moon probe (Lunar Orbiter) read like transcripts of the sections on Mars and on the Moon in Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision.
"An intellect too big to be ignored"*
"In response to the current wave of interest in the theories of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky," a seminar "The Works of Immanuel Velikovsky," was held in January at Dartmouth College, under the Experimental College program. As the seminar's program said, "Velikovsky's works have aroused a controversy of major proportions involving the entire scientific community." Dartmouth College professors in Astronomy, Physics, Biblical Studies, History, Anthropology, Biology, Geology, Archaeology, Psychology, Social Sciences, and History of Science, participated in the seminar on Velikovsky.
Yale Scientific Magazine plans a special issue dealing with Velikovsky and his work.
In January, 1965, Professor H. H. Hess, Chairman of the Department of Geology, Princeton University, initiated and convened the first open meeting of the Cosmos and Chronos Study and Discussion Group, devoting it to Velikovsky's theories, their implications and reception. Since then such groups have come into being on many campuses.
Universities, colleges and student organizations request Velikovsky's appearance. At Oberlin and Swarthmore colleges, at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and Pittsburgh University, at Brown University (debate attended by an audience of 1,300) at Princeton University's Graduate College Forum, at Princeton Theological Seminary, Duke University, Temple, Drew and Kent, Yale and Brandeis Universities, his lectures have been attended by record audiences and have left a lasting impression.
He is scheduled to speak at the University of Kansas, at the invitation of the faculty, and at the University of Chicago, at the invitation of student organizations, to large assemblies. In not a few universities and colleges his books are required reading.

WORLDS IN COLLISION
"Harmony or stability in the celestial and terrestrial spheres is the point of departure of the present day concept of the world as expressed in the celestial mechanics of Newton and the theory of evolution of Darwin. If these two men of science are sacrosanct, this book is a heresy." (from Preface) 16 large hardcover printings
EARTH IN UPHEAVAL
"Here lies the core of the problem: Did the earth change in a slow process, a year added to a year and a million years to a million, the peaceful ground of nature being the broad arena of the contest of throngs, in which the fittest survived? Or did it happen, too, that the very arena itself, infuriated, rose against the contestants and made an end of their battles?" (from Preface) 4 hardcover printings
AGES IN CHAOS
"Ancient history is distorted. Because of the disruption of synchronism, many figures on the historical scene are 'ghosts' or 'halves' and 'doubles'. Events are often duplicates; many battles are shadows; many speeches are echoes; many treaties are copies; even some empires are phantoms." (from Preface) 8 hardcover printings
OEDIPUS AND AKHINATON "...a delightful labor of archaeological love, spun off like a piece of chamber music between symphonies ..." (John C. Wyllie, Richmond News Leader)* 4 hardcover printings
