Jacqueline Kennedy Rides On Elephant

JAIPUR India (UPI) — Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy went riding on a painted elephant today and then had a picnic with the entire 26 - man American Peace Corps contingent in India. An ac complished equestrian Mrs. Kennedy took to elephant riding as if bom to the role and smiled with delight as she and her sister Princess Lee Radziwill rode around a pink palace in a gold and silver howdah strapped to the elephant. The eight-foot elephant chalked like a rainbow seemed nervous. The pachyderm iia me d Bib ia was besieged by nearly 100 photographers at the palace at Amber. Some Wore Turbans Jackie told the Peace Corps members some crew cut but I others wearing turbans and I beards: “You look great.” 1 The elephant ride lasted only 10 minutes. The female elephant’s trunk and' cheeks were painted with red white and yellow floral designs. Her ears streamed silk banners. The howdah something like a small roller coaster car was > Rail Report Spotlights 1947 Effort By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—The report of the Eisenhower Railroad Commission to President Kennedy, spotlights the 1947 effort made by ■ Congress to deal with featherbed-1 ding make-work labor contracts. The effort was made during the 80th Congress during development j of what became the Taft-Hartley ■ Labor Relations Act. The House adopted a strong prohibition against featherbedding. The Senate forced the House to back down on that and substituted some less inclusive language. 3 This Senate substitute was a pretty good example of double talk, maybe triple talk. It was loose and invited loose interpretation by the courts. It forebode labor contracts that required an employer to pay for work not performed or not to be performed—in other words the employment of persons in excess of reasonable requirements. This provision has been accepted by some persons ■ as a solid prohibition of featherbedding. For example: Lawrence Fertig, a columnisteconomist - industrialist wrote in his recent book, “Prosperity through Freedom,” that “The Congress of the United States has' expressed itself in no uncertain terms about featherbedding. . . 1 that no employer should be forced ’to employ or agree to employ tainy person or persons in excess' of the number required to perform actual services.’ ” In Many Industries Fertig concedes, however, that this language is washed out by;

perched atop a maroon blanket which hung nearly to the animal’s chubby knees. On either side hung large silver bells which attendants rang during the stroll around the courtyard. On the elephant’s neck sat a smiling red - (turbaned mahout named Abdul Hamid who piloted the beast around the courtyard with a hook or goad. Thanks Elephant The elephant traveled only a few hundred yards inside the red sandstone countyard. On dismounting Mrs. Kennedy placed a gloved hand on Bibia's, painted trunk and said: “Goodbye. Thank you.” Bibia raised her trunk and right forefoot. En route to Amber a tremendous crowd of Indians lined the streets of this pink city of Jaipur to see Mrs. Kennedy drive by in an enormous ancient open touring car. Indian officials placed the size of the throng at from a quarter to half million and said it was larger than the one which turned out for Queen Elizabeth last year, agreements forced by big unions supported by friendly judges who construe the phrase “reasonably required” in away favorable to featherbedding. Full crew laws affecting the railroads also support featherbedding in many states. The featherbedding practice, however, extends to most of the large industries, notably steel, transportation, publishing and entertainment. Fred A. Hartley Jr. wrote a book, “Our New Labor Policy” after enactment of the Taft-Hart-ley Act of which he was coauthor. He wrote of his regret that the strong House provision against featherbedding was scuttled. Os the Senate substitute, Hartley expressed doubt as to how it would work in practice. The late Sen. Robert A. Taft wrote a foreword to Hartley’s book. Taft explained why the Senate balked at the strong House prohibition of featherbedding. Need Expert Opinion “The attempt to prohibit featherbedding,” Taift wrote, “requires lan elaborate federal investigation of conditions in each industry and the exercise by the government of an expert opinion of the number of men required to do each job. The extreme case of paying men for doing nothing, made an unfair labor practice by the new (Taft-Hartley) law, can be more easily dealt with, but there are , literally thousands of borderline i cases different in every industry I which would require a vast extension of government regulation of labor and industry.” Former president Dwight D. Eisenhower established the Railroad Commission in November, 1960, leaving it like a time-bomb on President Kennedy’s doorstep. It should be noted that the commission has met one of Taft’s stipulations with respect to the prohibition of featherbedding. The commission just has completed an elaborate investigation of conditions in one industry, railroads.

Air Mattress Is Found By Search Ship CLARK AFB Philippines (UPI) —A search ship was reported today to have picked up an air mattress in the general area of the Pacific where a missing American airliner carrying 107 persons last radioed its position. UPI correspondent Verne Miller reported from Guam that the minesweeper USS Gallant found the mattress while patrolling the ocean as part of the vast air-sea hunt for the Constellation missing since Thursday. The j oint rescue coordination center at Guam said the mattress was 42 miles northeast of a position where the Liberian freighter T.L.Linzen early Friday reported sighting falling red lights. Not far away was where a search plane said it spotted a liferaft Friday afternoon and a ship saw a small oil slick. The Navy and Air Force pressed on with the search although there was little hope that any of the persons aboard would be found. Call off Search But planes based here called off night search missions for the first time since the plane disappeared. A spokesman said the flights were discontinued so pilots would be fresh for "maximum” daylight operations. But a top-ranking air force officer said the “chances of finding any survivors now are about one in infinity.” Maj. Gen. Theodore R. Milton commander of the 13th Air Force said he saw virtually no possibility that any survivors would be located after four days of searching by planes and ships. * — , “I would not be surprised if the search is called off tomorrow” he said. Vanished Last Week Twenty six flights were airborne at dawn today from Guam. Others took off from the Philippines to continue criss-crossing a 50000-square-mile area ofthe Pacific. I The missing four-engined Constellation whose passengers included 93 U.S. Rangers en route to South Viet Nam to help in the fight against Communist Viet Cong guerrillas vanished last Thursday en route from Guam to the Philippines. It was chartered from the Flying Tiger Airlines. Milton noted that all the searchers had to go on was the position from which the plane sent its last radio signal. He said the search has been concentrated around that position. Fear Plane Exploded The Navy expressed fear the airliner may have exploded in flight. A Navy announcement from Guam released Sunday through the U.S. Naval Station at nearby Sangley Point said there was “credence given to the possibility that the Liberian tanker T. L. Linzen may have seen the missing aircraft explode in flight.” The announcement said the Linzen had received a distress signal but that a thorough search of the area yielded negative results. The tanker had reported that it had sighted a “bright light I enough to light the ship’s bridge 'at 1:30 Friday morning.” The light was followed by “two falling red lights’’ described as “one dropping fast and one dropping slow.’’

SEEK TO (Continued from Page One) ference. The chief delegates were meeting again this afternoon in informal discussion. Canadian External Affairs Minister Howard Green at the morning session presented a sevenpoint interim disarmament plan containing measures on which he predicted East and West might reach “early agreement.” He also called for an all-out effort to break the nuclear test ban deadlock. Talks in General Zorin plunged into general as well as nuclear arms discussion at his meeting with newsmen. He said the new global rocket announced by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev last Saturday would be “eliminated” if the United States and other countries accepted Russia’s general disarmament proposals. The Soviet official said “all the j world knows that as far as rocket weapons are cone er ned the U.S.S.R. is far ahead of the United States” so Soviet agreement to eliminate such armament would “improve the security of the U.S.” He rejected the Western argument that nuclear disarmament ( reaki r Floors The problem of creaking floors can be most annoying- To eliminate them, the following method wjll generally prove effective; The first and easiest one is to use liquid soap.

alone would leave fee West at the n *: '■......'. mercy of Russia with its greater conventional warfare estahlighment He said if American troops were withdrawn from West Europe, Russia would pull back its troops from East Germany, Poland and Hungary and “the threat of conventional forces will be eliminated.” Zorin refused to say whether Russia would continue test ban discussions once the United States begins its new series of midPacific atmospheric tests, late next month. Green spoke as the conference resumed following a week-end recess during which delegates conferred informally on rival Amer*1 can and Russian arms control plans. He followed Bulgarian Foreign Minister Karlo Lukanov, who began the meeting with the anticipated opening blast from the Soviet bloc against the arms control ideas put forth by U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk last Thursday.
