WASHINGTON, June 24 (UPI) Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara today announced plans to reduce operational activities at the naval air station at Agana on Guam.

He said the aircraft affected are a light photo squadron and an early Kennedy Continued from Page 1 procedure that he had suggested but one that he considered fair to everyone. "I want to make it clear that while naturally disappointed I am not chastising anyone," Goldberg said. He emphasized that the maritime disputants have a continuing duty now and even after the Taft-Hartley Law may be. invoked to continue collective bargaining efforts to solve the stalemate. In outlining the T-H law procedures, Goldberg noted that it takes an average of about five days for a presidential fact-finding board to collect data and make its report to the White House on the strike issue, before an injunction may be applied for.

This would mean that it would be late next week, at the earliest, before a court order could be expected. Goldberg made joking reference to the fact that his position now is somewhat different than at that time when he was general counsel for the striking steel workers. He mentioned that he understood the maritime unions have been contacting Jiis former law. office for copies of a brief Goldberg filed to the Supreme Court in challenging the Law procedures during the steel strike. Ship owners had accepted Goldberg's earlier plan for a 60-day strike truce for, a three-man board to sift' the strike issues and recommend a settlement.

However, union rejections appeared to doom the plan. Although several of the unions are conducting membership ballots on the voluntary peace formula, Goldberg seemed to accept the fact that flat turn-downs of several of the unions involved made that approach unfeasible. Goldberg called on Kennedy at the House around 9 a.m. E.D.T, to give him an up to date report on the maritime strike. The conference took place in the President's living quarters.

The White House gave no details of the meeting. It was believed likely that Goldberg may try alternate peace moves before the Government actually seeks a court injunction under the Taft-Hartley Law. 5 Carrier Ranger Here for Training The aircraft carrier Ranger was to arrive at Pearl Harbor today with more than 3,500 Navymen aboard.
