WASHINGTON (UPI) A federal judge ordered air traffic controllers Involved In the 'sick-out" to return to work without delay but declined a government request to Impose fines on them. The order by Judge George S. Hart yesterday Inched the 18-day-old dispute between the controllers and Federal Avia-tlon Administration (FAA) closer to a settlement.

Attorney F. Lee Bailey, executive director of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO), said he expects to see "some controllers begin checking in at FAA facilities" as a result of the order. Under terms of the order, those checking In will have to undergo medical examinations before being allowed to work. The judge also ordered controllers claiming illness to furnish doctors' certificates, and ordered PATCO to send tele grams to locals around the nation advising men to return to work. The government asked Hart to fine rank-and-file controllers involved in the "sick-out" $10 a day and to fine PATCO officials $100 a day.

Seven Navy FlllBs had already been built. Two crashed, the other five are used by the Navy for tests. Air Force officers blame many of the problems with their version of the Fill to the attempt to build a common Navy Air plane.

Other testimony damaging to the management of the Fill program under McNamara disclosed that aeronautical engineers of the National Aeronautics and Space Administra-tion (NASA) concluded by mid-1963, based on wind tunnel tests of an Fill scale model, that the plane needed major changes in its basic design. However, the Air Force and General Dynamics spurned the recommendations, a NASA engineer testified. McClellan concluded that the short dash range of the Fill and other defects might have been avoided if NASA's advice had been heeded.

McClellan agreed that McNamara apparently handed General Dynamics a "mission impossible" from the start. McClellan, a key Member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, says bo has refrained from trying to block funds for the Fill since the 1963 hearings in order to give the Pentagon every opportunity to develop a good plane. He now predicts that following the subcommittee bearings Congress will "take the most economical way out." Little of the program remains, however, for Congress to cancel.

Model Order Sliced Also, a McNamara plan to buy some 200 FlllB's, strategic bomber version, was cut to 90 by his successor, Clark M. and then to the 77 already in production by Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird last year. Laird said those 77 would be completed to salvage what we can of the work in process. Australia, which ordered 24 Fills, has refused to accept them until assured the planes are safe.

The planes built for the Australians have been finished and ready for delivery for months; now there are reports Australia might want a later model Fill with improvements. If such a deal were appro the United States would fcave to pick up the cost of the 24 already built for Australia. An attempt to use the Fill in combat on bombing runs from Thailand over North Vietnam in 1968 was abortive. Three of the planes sent to Thailand crashed. Against this background, the McClellan subcommittee has heard additional evidence that the Defense Department under the Johnson administration sought to block attempts by the subcommittee staff and the General Accounting Office to get information about the program.
