PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED <32& SOME MATERIAL MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN INC MQ\ THURSDAY, MARCH 9 8:00 PM RUDDER AUDITORIUM \ACCI^ WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Bush on Tuesday virtually ruled out intervening in the Eastern Airlines strike, saying “man-to-man negotiation” is preferable to a gov ernment-imposed settlement. While he didn’t flatly rule out stepping in to end the walkout, Bush said his policy “will hold firm” de spite pressure in some congressional quarters to force him to act. Fielding questions for more than 40 minutes in the White House briefing room, he insisted that “there isn’t malaise” in his adminis tration because of the drawn-out fight over confirmation of Defense Secretary-designate John Tower. “A lot is happening,” the presi dent said. “Not all of it good, but a lot is happening. . . . We’re on track.” Bush defended his chief of staff, saying John Sununu, the former New Hampshire governor, knows his way around Washington and is doing his job well. Bush said he has “total confidence” in Sununu. Bush noted that Tower has pledged not to drink a drop of liquor if he gets the job and told his nation ally televised news confreence, “You’ll have 25,000 people in the Pentagon making sure that’s true.” The president said his backing of Tower against Democratic opposi tion in the Senate “isn’t iron-willed stubbornness; it’s a question of fun damental principle here.” The president had spare time in His srherlnlf* Tn^srlav in- news conference statement to “res tate my belief that free collective bar gaining is the best means of resolv ing” the strike. He exhorted Eastern manage ment, the Machinists union and other unions to conduct “head-on- head, man-to-man negotiation” and said he thought that would be “bet ter and more lasting . . . than an im posed government settlement, which could cause the airline to totally shut down.” On other subjects during the more than 40-minute question-and- answer sesion, Bush said he won! like to see Palestine Liberation Orgi nization Chairman Yasser Arafi “speak out” against raids that hai( been carried out by Palestinian gne; rillas against Israelis in souther: Lebanon. Bush said he hoped these inc dents would not jeapordize l)J talks with PLO representatives h said he thought that Arafat shoil “forthrightly condemn any teno: that might be perpetrated by thefjj estinians.” President intends to replace immigration head, source says WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration will replace Alan C. Nelson as head of the Immi gration and Naturalization Service, an administration source said Tues day. Attorney General Dick Thorn burgh, who recently received a de partment audit that criticized man agement and operations of INS, is searching for someone to take over the agency, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity. The source confirmed a report in Tuesday’s editions of the Los An geles Times that Nelson would be r»rYf 1986 immigration reform law, whid provided for massive amnesty fori legal aliens.
