An idea of the rigid training they will undergo during the minimum of 18 months they spend under civilian and Navy Instructors was given a group of 50 young enlistees Saturday during a five-hour program in this city. Part of the session was held in the YMCA, where the young men were welcomed to the city by Mayor George F.

Erich. From there the boys were taken by bus to the Muhlenberg campus, where in addition to the civilian instruction, tests are made to determine whether or n't those who take the course have the necessary qualifications to become combat pilots. Later in the afternoon, the entire group was taken to the Allentown-Bethlehem airport to see the initial flight training program in operation. Allentown, being the center of one phase of the training program, is well represented among the enlistees. Eight boys from Allentown High school and four from Central Catholic High are enrolled.

In addition to these, enlistees were present from such points in Eastern and Northeastern Pennsylvania as Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Wayne, Bloomsburg and Dickson City. And the program holds so much interest for them that the young men paid their own expenses in traveling to this city and back home. Yesterday's session was presided over by Lieutenant John R. Case, USNR. a member of the naval aviation combat selection board for the Fourth Naval District.

Various phases of the program the young men will undergo were outlined to them by Lieutenant Robert E. Fatherly, USNR, resident officer at Muhlenberg in charge of the AS-V5 flight training program who is responsible for discipline and naval Indoctrination; and Lieutenant Goeller, executive officer there who heads the physical training program. Enlistees in the program are high school graduates who have passed their 17th birthday and have not yet attained their 18th.

A. Lewis, general manager of the plant, when their demand for an immediate upward adjustment of a piece-rate was declined. Officials of the United Steelworkers of America. CIO, could not be reached for comment on the walkout Saturday. Mr.

Lewis pointed out that the men went on strike, ignoring the suggestion from the management that the matter be handled according to the regular machinery provided in the contract between tne company and the union. "The superintendent of that depart ment requested that a representative group of the men talk over their grievance with him before resorting to strike action," said Mr. Lewis. "The men declined, however," he said, and walked off their jobs, declaring that they would not return until Monday and if their demands were not granted then they would go out again. "This strike results In a regrettable loss in the production of vitally needed castings for naval vessels and merchant ships.

In fact, at the time the men now on strike left their work they were engaged on castings for destroyer-escort vessels now being rushed to completion to help in combatting the U-boat menace," he said. "This strike action is in direct violation both of labor's 'no strike pledge' and of our contract with the union. In fact, two shop stewards of the United Steelworkers of America participated in the strike. We have reported this walkout to the local mili tary authorities, and have already written to the draft boards. Eivinsr them the names of those among the strikers who are of draft age," he said.
