The Prime Minister Mr Fraser, moved to reassure both the public and his" backbench yesterday, saying that the "underlying strength of the Australian economy is great." When Parliament resumes tomorrow, Mr Fraser will face a backbench deeply worried about the deteriorating economic situation and the Government's decision to defer tax cuts and housing mortgage subsidies. Mr Fraser said yesterday in his weekly electoral talk that the economy was still growing strongly, that investment remained healthy and taxation in Australia was lower than that of all our trading partners except Japan. "The OECD (Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development) predicts further growth of over 3 per cent for Australia in 1982 compared with an OECD average of just over 1 per cent "We need to understand that consumer demand remains strong We need to understand that 83,000 new jobs were created in 1981, that the average unemployment rate throughout 1981 was the lowest for four years, and that while the January unemployment rate was too high, it was still below last year's January rate." A A clash over economic policy is looming between key sections of the backbench and the Cabinet In recent weeks Mr Andrew' Peacock has spearheaded, calls for tax cuts or housing mortgage payment relief. The Cabinet will appeal to the backbench to limit any criticism of economic policy on the' grounds that prospects in 1 the Federal Lowe by-election and Victorian State election should not be jeopardised.

After four days of investigation the police here naVe issued findings that point to pilot error as the cause of (tbe aecide The. president ofVjspan'J Air Lines, Ywumoto, told reporters that the chief pilot, Captain Seiji 35, bad suffered in the past from a psychosomatic disorder, a physical complaint caused by mental tress.

Pilot reported illness in 1980 Katagiri himself had reported the illness in November, 1980, and had rested for three weeks before being tested and allowed to resume flying as a co-pilot. Last November he was moved up chief pilot 'The flight data recorder shows loud voices in the cockpit several seconds before the crash. The flight engineer had unbuckled his seatbelt, possibly to get up to restrain the captain, officials said. The co-pilot has told investigators he was trying to pull up on the control which felt unusually heavy because Captain Katagiri seemed to be pushing it down. Circumstantial evidence, the Japanese press said, suggests the pilot lost his senses at the controls as the plane was coming in to land.

All three of the flightdeck crew; were severely injured and have been able to give only partial accounts of the crash, Japan Air Lines has come under criticism for its standards of health surveillance of flight crew. Transport Ministry officials say Captain Katagiri's illness in 1980 had never been mentioned on records filed with the ministry by the airline. The airline has also been questioned why officials took Captain Katagiri to a hotel immediately after the crash and did not admit him to hospital until about four hours later.

IV It ly JOHN MINER and The Premier, Mr Wran, said yesterday there was a "tinge of lunacy" about strikes which have halted all trains in NSW and threatened supplies of petrol and power. Describing today's rail strike as unnecessary and(unjustificd," he said that some elements of the trade-union movement "appeared to be invitinl the type of draconian industrial legislation that the British Government Was enacting. Mr Wran said that NSW was "on the verge of great inconvenience," and that the strikes would have an effect on next month's Lowe by-election. Mr Wran's intervention came as the situation worsened in the three separate disputes affecting these essential services: TRAINSj No trains will run in NSW today and the striking rail workers will meet to decide how long they will stay out (See below.) PETROL: The Stdremen and Packers' Union has called out its members in the oil industry, following a dispute with the shop assistants' union, over which should cover shop workers.

The Government has referred the dispute to the Full Bench of the State Industrial Commission. (See Page X) POWER: The dispute, involving electricians at Eraring power station, "could well mean the difference between continued power generation and interruption to power supplies in the winter months" according to Mr Wran. All striking electricians will meet on Wednesday to consider the future of the dispute. (See Page 2.) Trains on vote 1 By MATTHEW ODLUM Meetings around the State of striking' railway workers today will determine how long they will stay out. The largest meeting of the 10,000 strikers, members of the Australian Railways Union, will be at 10 am at Town The strikers will be asked to consider whether to stay out on the strike that started at midnight, or to return to work tonight to allow the processing of their claims by the Arbitration Commission.

Th State secretary of the', ARU, Mr Jim Walshe, said yesterday the State executive of the union would meet early today to draw up a recommendation to be put to the meetings. He said the union was willing Mr Wran said he was disappointed -that there had been no further discussions at the weekend to try to prevent today's train strike.

Mr Wfan said he would present in Parliament tomorrow a report from the Minister for Police, Mr Anderson, on the arrest of 12 picketers in Wol-longong, i which prompted the Storemen and Packers' Union to call out its members in the oil industry. The report should avoid any suggestions of either injustice or martyrdom, Mr Wran said. "That doesn't mean that trade-unionists are exempt from the law or above the law, because the trade-union movement and the police; have had a relationship, in relation to plcketingind demonstrating, which has worked satisfactorily," he said. Mr Wran said the disagreement was simply a demarcation dispute.

The by referring it to the Industrial Commission, was providing both unions involved with a vehicle by which they could obtain a definitive solution. Mr Wran came down most harshly on the striking electricians at Eraring. 1 The fact that they had not done "a single tap of since Christmas, coupled with the ease with which electricians could find work, led to the suspicion that some of them bad found outside jobs in the meantime. depend to talk to the State Rail Authority about the dispute.
