A A Crew Members Stnke TWA By The Associated Press THOUSANDS of weekend travelers shifted to alternate, airlines as-Trans- World Airlines Was grounded Saturday by a strike by 12,000 mechanics and ground crew members. Other airlines reported no overcrowding from TWA passengers and the struck airline said it had no reports of any of its passengers being stranded. A TWA spokesman in Chicago said ticket agents were finding places on other airlines for passengers with TWA reservations. "We haven't had a single call from a passenger complaining," the spokesman said. He noted, however, that Saturday is a relatively light travel day and the full impact of the strike won't be felt until Monday.

A TWA spokesman in New York said 15 charter flights were grounded" by the strike. Passengers from 13 of the flights were switched to other airlines and departed on their trips' Saturday. "We are working right now on the other two." spokesman Joe Riley said. Four of the 15 flights were from Kennedy Airport, and the others were "at a variety of points going to a variety of destinations," Riley said. Three of the Kennedy flights were delayed while passengers were switched to other airlines, and the fourth was postponed until today.

Riley said the group, consisting of 175 passengers from New Jersey, was bound for a seven-day vacation in Las Vegas. He said the passengers would still get their full seven days and that TWA would pay for motel rooms near the airport Saturday night or for roundtrip cab fare between Kennedy Airport and their homes in New Jersey. The strike began at one minute past midnight Saturday with the expiration of a 30-day coot- ing-off period. Talks in. Washington failed to resolve a pay dispute.

A TWA spokesman in Washington said he didnlt-expect; federal mediators to call for'new negotations before Monday at the earliest. "I we'll be back to work for a while," said Larry Atkins, president of a machinists union local, at Columbus, Ohio: "We are ready, to resume negotiations at the call of the National Mediation Board and we-certainly hope that that would be shortly," said spokeswoman in New York. "We are protecting our passengers for flights today and tomorrow," the spokeswoman said, but beyond that the situation is uncertain. "The only thing we can do is hope these negotiations resume promptly." TWA operates an- average of 443 flights daily, including 44 overseas flights, and carries an average of 43,000 passengers a day. A spokesman for Airlines said it was "fully geared up to accommodate to the fullest extent possible the passengers affected by the TWA strike." 1 RESERVATIONS were being taken by TWA for Monday and beyond.

In the event the strike continued, a TWA spokesman said, those reservations would also be transferred other airlines. A spokesman for the' striking International Association of and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, said talks had broken before the Friday night strikeideadline, The strikers nvetehanics, ramp servicemen, commissary, cleaning and teletype personnel had not had a pay raise since May 1, 1975.
