Flight engineers agreed to go back to work immediately while a presidential commission started work on finding a way of remedying the basic cause of their strike.

Kennedy made the announcement late yesterday at the White House. At his side was Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg, who had a large part in bringing about the end of the walkout. For Goldberg it was the second major strike he has had a personal hand in settling since i fel nirr v'X- v.

And this is true of some of our most educated people." Neglect of the subject, he said in an interview, has left people with garbled and often absurd notions of their neighbors' beliefs, and been a breeding ground for misapprehensions, false tales and ill will that strains community relationships. "It's one of the worst of all social diseases," he said, "and one of the most dangerous for the welfare of the republic.

Religious divi-siveness can do more to destroy the union than any-other." Dr. Jones, a veteran university administrator, is now president of the National Con- ference of Christians and Jews, whose wide-ranging, na tionwide program aims at bringing fuller understanding among the country's various religious groups. It sponsors the annual "Brotherhood Week," being observed this week through Sunday. Dr. Jones said that inter-religious hostility almost in- variably stems from ignorance.

Lance's seat was assured last night after a split vote in the Hunterdon County GOP policy committee on who should seek the post. Lance, 52, who was first elected to the Assembly in 1937 and has served in the state Senate since 1953, told the policy committee in Colligan's Inn, he would not seek re-election. The committee endorsed Edward R. N.

Douglass of Moun-tainville for Lance's Senate post. Assembly Minority Leader Raymond E. Bowkley, who had previously said he would forsake his Assembly seat to seek the Senate post if Lance decided not to run, failed to gain the majority of committee votes for endorsement. But Bowkley said he would remain a candidate for the Sen- ate with or without a majority of the committee behind him. 1 I ciple of church-state separation.

At the same time, parochial schools offer their own separate religion, which does little to provide broader information. "It's an explosive problem, terribly explosive," Dr. Jones said. "There is a wide reluctance toward mutual education about various religions. People won't risk it.

They run from it." However, he added, with the increasing urbanization and industrialization of the United States, and with people living in more compact environments, the lack of sound knowledge of different religions becomes more harmful. "We just haven't thought through the implications of our pluralistic society," he said. "All of these people thrown smack together, and yet we've renounced the situation (of inter-religious illiteracy). "We've been terrified of the problem, and terribly remiss. We haven't taken it seriously and tried to find some way to deal with it." In some cases, he said, seminaries have sought to broaden religious studies for prospective ministers so they won't present only a narrow view to future congregations, but such steps are far from adequate.

A church-government rift developed in January 1960 when the bishops in a pastoral letter urged clemency for persons arrested in an anti-Trujillo plot. The church accused the govern- ment of using repressive measures. The National Catholic Welfare (Conterence in Washington has accused Truiillo of conducting an anti-Catholic campaign. The Catholic agency said at least 46 priests were expelled last year.

It also cited violent attacks on the church by the press. i i -v t- a resolution by Gov. Jimmie H. Davis' leaders denouncing federal contempt citations, recessed until 7 p.m. Sunday.

Federal contempt citations against state officials, to be heard March 3, are based on the state's defiance of token integration of two New Orleans schools. Federal tribunals have blocked the Legislature's efforts to take over the entire New Orleans school system to maintain segregation. In the three-way struggle between local, state and federal authorities, teachers have gone payless. In one of the federal court citations, three state officials were mentioned for failure to sign checks paying certain New Orleans school teachers. Rep.

Wellborn Jack, arch segregationist from Caddo Parish (county), tore into the heart of swift behind-the-scenes maneuvers. He insisted the Kennedy administration has been "phoning down here trying to trap us into a two-year truce, or something." "They're afraid Southern senators won't vote for their program," he suggested. When Rep. Risley Triche, Assumption Parish, was asked what Jack meant, the Davis floor leader said: "There's been some talk around that our lieutenant governor and House speaker would be freed of federal court contempt action if the Legislature ould pay all New Orleans teachers in full." But events roared toward a legislative climax, with the House passing 83-2 a Davis administration resolution sent to the Senate denouncing the contempt moves against Lieut. Gov.

C. C. Aycock and House Speaker Tom Jewell as illegal and un-American. There were thinly concealed hints that a jail threat had been voiced against Aycock and Jewell. Jack roared his support of the resolution, which in effect declared the actions of Aycock, Jewell and Education Supt.

Shelby M. Jackson, in drawing federal contempt fire, were only acting as agents of the entire legislature. "We're big enough people to go to jail if that's what they want," Jack asserted. "If they do have the audacity to put us all in jail, well, we need a good rest, they don't have the guts to do it." "Let's just see if they'll put them in jail," he continued. "I say they won't, I say the attorney general, Mr.

Kennedy, won't, I say the President won't." Patrol Boat Abandoned Cape May (IP) The Coast Guard today abandoned attempts to remove one of its patrol boats grounded on a jetty in a pea soup fog. The nine-man crew was safely removed from the floundering vessel and no one was injured. The 83-foot launch, CG83529, struck the jetty on the east side of Cape May Harbor entrance last night while on its way back from a routine patrol. Other Coast Guard launches quickly arrived at the scene. Its sister ship, CG83490, threw a tow line on board and pumps were operated in attempts to remove water that was flooding the engine room.

The nine crewmen at first remained on board to help save the ship. But rising seas and thickening fog made further rescue work dangerous and seven hours after the ship grounded, efforts to save it were abandoned The sentencing judge, in a statement, said it was thought that she murdered her spouse to collect his insurance. The judge, now dead, said there were indications that she killed her second husband the same way although she never was brought to trial for his 'eath.

He had used his previous job as head of the national bank to shake off economic ties with the United States and link Cuba's economy to the Soviet Union and the Communist bloc.

Similar to Red Nations The pknning council, which Includes Guevara and all other ministers, was made the over-all supervisor of the nation's eco nomic life, much as such coun cils function in the Communist states. But Guevara was given wrtu-ally dictatorial powers over the nation's industries. Among his! powers, he was given specific authority to "create, dissolve and modify" all the state industries and to establish their "economic, financial and juridical direction and administration." The petroleum and mines institutes and the administrative departments of industrialization and of sugar mills were placed under his immediate jurisdiction. Both formerly were under the National Agrarian Reform Institute, which mushroomed into a mammoth economic czar-dom after it was created to take over the nation's farm lands from private owners. Will Spur Industry In his new post Guevara is expected to spur Cuban indus- trialization to carry out Castro'sl announced aim of making Cuba no longer dependent on agri culture, and particularly on sugar, which has been the life blood of the island.

Statistics were not cited, and many persons question the assertion of a rising purchasing power. These quarters claim the national individual income has been reduced by the highest personal taxes in Cuban history, so-called voluntary contributions to the government and the freezing of wages after some had been reduced below pre-Castro levels.

His very first task was to end a strike of railroad ferrymen in New York that had virtually cut off commuter rail service.

Back to Normal Sunday Six airlines Pan American, American, Trans World, Eastern, National, and Flying Tigers began cranking up their operations last night. All were resuming many flights today and expected to be back to normal by tomorrow or Sunday. Western Air Lines, one of those struck by the engineers, refused to join the agreement. Even after the agreement was announced, a Western spokesman said the line would stick to its plan to furlough 1.300 non-striking workers. The line continued to insist that it considered its flight engineers fired.

Without them, the line still would be unable to operate. Western Balks Western's stand to replace its 'onninoorc nitV nnolifiorl ri1nfc nit vjuutiiivu juw i7 for a time held up agreement to end the walkout on the other lines. The union had insisted that Western engineers be reinstated before an agreement was reached covering the other lines. Kennedy amended his order setting up the three-man study commission to include Western. Ronald A.

Brown, head of the engineers' union, said he considered that the inclusion of Western in the presidential order meant the engineers should be reinstated. Union Fears for Life The cause of the strike was not wages, but union security. The walkout was in protest over a National Mediation Board decision that flight engineers of United Air Lines must join the Airline Pilots Association. The Engineers Union feared this would spread and their union would be swallowed by the pilots'. Engineers keep big airliners engines running properly and handle other details in flight.

Some airlines require them to be qualified pilots, others do not. Runaway Car Clogs Rt. 22 Green Brook The rush hour scramble of Route 22 at 4:30 p.m. yesterday was further harried by a runaway auto which slowly backed itself across four lanes of the highway, hit a car, changed gears, and returned to a gas station lot without a driver. Gas station attendants at the Green Brook Esso station near Cramer did a double-take when a car on which they had been working backed out of a garage, striking the westbound car of Mike Kolba of 749 Cedar-crest Bound Brook.

Kolba said. "I saw it coming and blew my horn, but it kept coming." After the collision, the car somehow changed gears and headed back into the gas station lot where its owner, Jerry Wean of 385 Grove North Plainfield, and the station owner, Warren Klotz, hopped aboard and shut off the engine. Minor damage resulted to Wean's car. More than $100 damage was caused to the Kolba car. Police Chief Robert Lund scratched his head in attempting to determine responsibility.

He said the law says you can't leave the engine running unattended when on a public street but nothing about private property. He added, "we're lucky no one was killed at that hour."

Trujillo. The refusal could mean renewed trouble between the church and Trujillo's govern GOP Nod The committee also gave no official endorsement to a gubernatorial candidate. The committee gave unanimous endorsement to former Sheriff William Amerman of Stanton for freeholder. Sheriff John H.

He also runs a turkey farm in Mountain-ville.

He and his wife have a son, 14, and daughter, 12. In declining to run for reelection, Lance told the 28 members of the committee that "to do a good job in the office of state senator poses a heavy drain on finances, time and energy of the officeholder. I have devoted the major part of my adult life to public service and have decided not to be a candi date for re-election." Lance said he had no immediate plans for further political activity and expects to return to his law practice. (Other Story on Page 3) Balloon Lofted To 100 Miles Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. (IP) A nine-foot balloon went to an altitude of 100 miles, sending back information on atmospheric density as it fell back to earth.

The Air Force said it was the first direct measurement of density between 70 and 130 miles. The balloon yesterday was lofted by a 15-foot Nike-Cajun rocket launched from nearby Santa Rosa Island. The inflatable balloon was deployed 76 seconds after the launching and coasted to 100 miles high. A gauge inside the balloon made the measurements through pressure increases and transmitted the data to receiving stations.

Hammarskjold met yesterday for the third time with his Congo advisory committee to discuss ways of putting the peace plan into effect. He scheduled another meeting for today. So far no announcements have emerged from these meetings, but reports from the Congo pictured the UN Command there as cautiously optimistic about ending the civil war.

They've been given the area all to themselves. Unfortunately, from the mosquito's viewpoint, there'll be no picknickers to annoy. The bad news was announced yesterday by the New Jersey Highway Authority, which said it was abandoning the picnic area to the mosquitos, which breed in a nearby cranberry bog. Said Highway Authority Engineer Carl P.

Zorin complained yesterday that three days had passed since the Security Council adopted its new peace plan for the Congo but council members had been given no information on withdrawal measures. The Russians did not endorse the peace plan originally, abstaining when the council voted. And Zorin's arithmetic was in error, since he wrote two days after the council action early Tuesday.

The Bishops added, how- ever, that they appreciated the favors and gifts the church had received from Trujillo.
