...task of the Secretary of Labor, and probably his most delicate one, to set the tone of the Administration in major labor-management disputes. In that, George Pratt Shultz stands in sharp contrast to his activist Democratic predecessors, Arthur Goldberg and Willard Wirtz, who intervened frequently if reluctantly at Lyndon Johnson's behest. Before last week's strike against General Electric, Shultz held private meetings with company officials and union leaders. He has quietly helped to cool several other labor disputes, particularly in the airlines. But he firmly opposes direct and heavily publicized intervention. "We want the free...

...moment, however, the planes are the world's largest gliders -because they have no engines. Pan Am had been scheduled to get the first three commercial giants, each with a capacity of 362 passengers, in late November. Last week embarrassed Boeing officials said that performance difficulties in the Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines would delay that delivery by as much as eight weeks...
...problem is that Boeing had originally asked Pratt & Whitney to provide an engine thrust of 41,500 Ibs. As the weight of the plane rose during development, however, the engineers had to revise this figure to 43,500 Ibs.-all within the original production schedule. When the engine strains for that much power, its casing tends to distort or "ovalize." That, in turn, reduces the amount of thrust and raises fuel consumption by 5%. Pratt & Whitney engineers are trying to find a way of installing stiffening rods that would eliminate distortion of the casing. The Federal Aviation Administration will have...
