Group Os Congress Secretaries On Hike

WASHINGTON (UPD—A group of congressional secretaries set out today to prove on a dawn-to-dusk hike that they are in better shape than White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger. Salinger, whose measurements top to bottom are 43-40-43, conceded defeat in advance Tuesday by admitting that "my shape is not good.” He called off plans for a marathon hike of his own Friday. The Capitol Hill girls, more in the 36-27-37 class, gloated that Salinger had “capitulated.” They went ahead with their planned trek along the towpath of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, the same route Salinger had chosen. Long - legged Jacqueline (Jackie) MacDonald. 23, a leader of the congressional hikers, _ said, : “We have felt all along that we were in better shape than Mr. Salinger. Besides, we can’t see : where it would be detrimental to our health.” Danger Is Excuse Salinger, backed by a statement . from the Presidet’s Council on i Youth Fitness which he denied 1 having instigated, used potential ’ danger to health as an excuse. i

He said persons not in good shape shouldn't overdo it. The council’s statement put a damper on the walking craze launched by President Kennedy’s suggestion that Marine Corps officers should find out if they still could take 50-mile hikes as President Theodore Roosevelt ordered in 1908. 4» In advising caution, the council said the long-distance marches might be very fine for Marines but they might be too strenuous for the ride-to-the-drug store set who are not used to such vigorous activity. Dr. Ralph E. Knutti, director of the National Heart Institute, quickly agreed. He advised: “Don’t try to jump from zero activity to top performance in a single leap—or you may end up with not only sore muscles and aching feet, but also a severe strain on various vital organs.” Girls Have Company The congressional secretaries were getting a helping hand. The Army gallantly agreed to provide a jeep and a medical corpsman to ride along the canal towpath with them. Newsmen and photographers also joined in the hike.

The girls, practically all in their 20s, were taking fried chicken and apples to eat along the way. They decided to fortify themselves with substantial breakfasts before hitting the trait The statement by the physical fitness council was issued only four hours before Salinger surrendered. Richard Snider, council administrator, first said that Salinger suggested the statement. But Salinger heatedly denied it. He said Snider had asked him if it would be a good idea to issue the statement and that he had given his approval. Snider, his memory refreshed by higher authority, then said he had been in error.

Official Os Railway Clerks Calls Strike

United Press International A railway clerks official called for a strike “no later than Saturday” against the Southern Pacific system and the long New York and Cleveland newspaper strikes remain without settlement. James Weaver, head of the railway clerks’ Southern Pacific unit, said further talks in the dispute over automation would be “a waste of time.” Federal mediator Frank O’Neill, however, continued to negotiate. Five times in the last week he has won postponement of a strike by the 11,000 clerks. The Southern Pacific dispute was the most immediate and pressing facing the labor-troubled rail industry. Nearly a half dozen railroads across the country either faced a strike, were struck, or were operating under court injunctions against the unions. A Southern Pacific shutdown would idle 50,000 employes and halt the line’s operations in seven states from Texas to Oregon. The railway clerks have sought for more than one year for job protection against automation. Elsewhere on, the labor scene: Transportation Union pickets began marching at all major stops today in protest to operation of freight trains by supervisory personnel of the strike-bound Florida East Coast Railway. The 11 non - operating unions on strike are seeking a 10.23 cent wage increase. The 1,200 union members and mote than 600 others have been idled 22 days. A hearing was scheduled for Feb. 21 on an application for a permanent injunction against 300 locomotive engineers. They walked out br i e fly Monday against the Terminal Railroad Association in St. Louis, Mo., in demands for additional pay for operating radio-telephones on locomotives. The railroad trainmen were under federal District Court orders to continue work for Monon Railroad, which operates between Chicago and Louisville, Ky., pending a Supreme Court ruling. The trainmen wanted insurance for driving from one place to another. Newspapers Guidsmen of the Cleveland Press were expected to consider today management’s “final” offer of a general wage increase from $7.50 to $lO on a two-year contract. On the principal issue of union security, management pro-

posed maintenance of member--1 ship for all present guild members with a seven - day escape clause at the end of the contract. Negotiations also were scheduled today with the striking machinists and the non-striking stereotypers. The two Cleveland newspapers have not published since November. Eleven unions were without contracts, although two have since signed agreements. Five unions actually were on strike. In New York, Mayor Robert F. Wagner dismissed negotiators in the 68-day.old printers strike until further notice. He said “substantial differences” remained. The printers have asked a $34 package, and the publishers have offered $lO. A key issue of automation was reported settled. Plans Legislation To Cut Milk Surplus WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Philip A.O Hart, D-Mich., said today he will introduce legislation which, he said, will cut the growing milk surplus and still maintain dairy farmers’ present income. He was scheduled to spell out his bill—the Class I base plan for federal milk marketing orders developed by the National Milk Producers Federation—in a Detroit address before the Michigan Allied Dairy Association. But he warned this proposal to i reduce incentive for over-produc-tion was only “a step in the right direction.” Producers in federal order markets will not cut their marketings enough under this type of base plan to reduce surplus butter purchases by half. Hart said. Some way must be found to decrease total milk supplies at least 3 or 4 per cent, he said. ' “Other commodity groups have had to adjust their marketings downward as a condition of price support, as surpluses warranted and program expenditures increased,” he said. “An increasingly urban Congress will not continue to sanction large budget expenditures to support an industry which does not assume this responsibility. Nor will other farm groups, who have > adjusted, assist in maintaining dairy price supports if dairy producers are not willing to assume a like degree of restraint.” Dairy price supports cost about SSOO million, Hart said, and there is little prospect of cutting this figure unless some action is taken to reduce milk supplies. The present program actually encourages over - production, he said. He called on the industry to be “realistic in facing its responsibility to reduce total milk supplies.” - Slate Must Allocate Fund For Reservoir INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - Indiana will have to allocate $3.45 million if the Monroe Reservoir is to be completed on schedule, the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees were told Tuesday.

Col. James L. Lewis of the Louisville district office of the Army Corps of Engineers said all contracts must be awarded during the 1964 fiscal year if the target date of completion is to be met in the 1965 fiscal year. The contract stipulates that all of the state’s share for any feature of the project must be paid to the Army before construction contracts are awarded. Under the contract, Indiana is paying 54.1 per cent of the cost. Governor Welsh’s construction budget includes $2.7 million for the reservoir during the 1963-65 biennium. A bill embodying Welsh’s proposed economic development fund would provide the remainder of the state's share of the reservoir money. The Ways and Means Committee, which has not yet acted on the construction budget, will meet with the Senate Finance Committee next week on Welsh’s economic development plan and a similar plan proposed by two Republican senators. The latter plan, however, contains no provision for the reservoir. Lewis said any delay would mean a financial loss to the state, but he did not have specific figures on the amount. He agreed tentatively, however, with a suggestion by Sen. David Rogers, DBloomington, that the loss might be greater than any amount that could be saved by cutting the appropriation for the state’s share. Lewis said Indiana, in order to retain control over a large part of the water stored in the reservoir, was putting up a greater share of the cost of the project in comparison to other states. The state plans to sell the water to area communities and use proceeds for other reservoir proj- ■ ects.

Three Stales Fail On Tourist Business INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Governor Welsh said today Indiana. Illinois and Kentucky “fall short of their potential tourist business because of our failure to promote effectively the advantages we have.” Welsh made the statement in remarks prepared for delivery at a luncheon conference on creation of a “Lincoln Trail” running through the three states where Abraham Lincoln lived as a child, youth and man. Governors of all three states headed the list of luncheon guests. “As a result of this meeting,” Welsh said, “we hope to establish the impetus; die drive and the direction for the creation of an interesting, varied and historical tmlr-trail through our three states. It is fitting that our states which contributed so much to the Lincoln legend should sponsor such a trail for those millions of Americans who want to visit historical sites. “If we dno not seek jointly and aggressively the patronage of

Iraq Guards Seek Out Foes Os New Regime BAGHDAD, Iraq (UPD —Civil ian “national guards” searched from house-to-house today for Communist foes of the new rebel regime. The “national guards” were mostly young students, equipped with weapons and wearing green armbands for identification. They acted in Vigilante - like manner, stopping cars and searching pedestrians. Baghdad itself was quiet, save for the sound of a few scattered shots as the new regime consolidated its power after the overthrow and death of former Premier Abdel Karim Kassem. Photographs disclosed that Kassem and those executed with him by rebel gunners following a drum-head court - martial were killed in what looked like a soundproof conference room of the Ministry of Defense building. (English - language newspapers in Tehran today reported continued fighting in Baghdad, the oil port of Basra, Amara and other areas of Iraq. Kayhan International said 400 persons were killed in four days of fighting in Basra but the rebel forces were in control and the pro-Kassem elements hae shifted to Amara, 90 miles to the north. (The British Broadcasting Corp, in London reported monitoring a clandestine radio station Tuesday night which claimed to be the voice of the Communist party of Iraq. BBC said the station called on all Communists in Iraq to rise against the “bloodthirsty and reactionary clique of the revolutionary regime.”) The new government of provisional President Col. Abdul Salam Ares appeared firmly in control, however, and was winning diplomatic recognition from more and more countries. Communist China recognized his regime Tuesday. The Soviet Union and the United States granted recognition on Monday. Diplomatic sources said earlier reports of heavy casualties in the fighting at the Defense Ministry appeared to be exaggerated. Reports reaching Beirut in neighboring Lebanon during the weekend placed casualties during the battle as high as 5,000 killed and wounded. “There was killing all right, but nowhere near the bloodshed when Kassem seized power in 1958,” one diplomat told UPI.
