Urges Rail Workers Allowed To Strike ST. LOUIS (UPl)—With a vote >1 confidence behihd him, the lead of 78.000 firemen planned to ask President Kennedy, today to let the unions and the railroads ‘slug it out” in their “featherbedding'' dispute. «•' H. E. Gilbert urged in his keynote a*ddress to the firemen's convention here Monday that the federal government allow the operating brotherhoods to strike over the proposed work rule changes. “I hope the President finds it prudent to allow both sides to resort to self-help," i '3e--told the 900 delegates. “Once the railroads of this nation know that their employes do. indeed, have the power and right to exercise self-help, we can expect to find an attitude of eagerness at the bargaining! table.” .

meant the right to-.strike when he referred to self-help. He predicted the fight over the new work rules, which would eliminate many jobs considered unnecessary by the' industry, would be settled in less than 24 hours if the five on-train unions are permitted to strike.

■- —■ -■ — — ■ —A---. Racial Barriers In South Are Lowered

EDU OK S NOTE - Overshadowed by the daily reports of conflict and crisis from the nation’s civil rights battlegrounds has been a growing list of southern cities where desegregatkn has taken place with lift!? er no fanfare. Negroes for the first time are eating in restau ants and sleeping in hotels where they were turned away a lew months ago. A survey reveals a lowering of racial barriers in all southern states excep. Mississippi. By -United Press International Negroes no longer are required to sit in separate balconies in motion picture theaters in Little Rock, Ark., Amarillo, Tex., and Richmond, Va. A Negro can now spend the night, or dine out, at some of 1 the leading hotels in Charlotte, N.C., Orlando, Fla., and Atlanta. A few months ago they were politely turned away. -The “White" and “Colored” signs . that designated separate water fountains in several Deep Soutlj cities have been discarded. Quietly, and in many cases without publicity, a number of .southern towns and cities have lowered racial barriers, or are in the process of doing so. Action Voluntary' ’Many have taken the action pn a “voluntary" basis. Some acted after secret negotiations between white and Negro leaders. Others decided to'follow the recommendations of bfracial committees. Civil rights protest marches and demonstrations—or the threat of them —speeded the desegrega- . tion progress in such cities as Birmingham, Ala., and GreensTxiro, N.C. In Atlanta, about 50 restau-rants—-most of them in the downtown area—agreed secretly to begin serving Negroes without a public announcement of the names of the restaurants. Segregationist pickets began turning up a few days later at several restaurants but the owners said there had been no sinificant decline in business. Holds Out Only in Mississippi was rigid segregation maintained in public, facilities throughout thei state. A federal court order to abolish the segregated restaurant at the Jackson Municipal Airport resulted in “standup integration." Seats were removed and customers must stand at a counter for service. The quiet desegregation was not I confined to movies, restaurants and hotels. In Atlanta, the local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous announced that membership was open to both races. A UPI survey disclosed this recent desegregation in the South: Alabama: Birmingham, scene of violent racial clashes this / U.S.A.

A survey was completed in 1933. Now, in 1963, the first half of this highway from Panama City to Laredo, Tex.—the Inter -American Highway—is open to traffic. As Newsmap shows, most of the road’s 3,200-mile length is paved. All-weather stretches are mostly of crushed rock. The U.S. has spent $138.7 1 million on the highway, Mexico and the Central American republics am additional SB2 million. About S4B million-is needed to complete the unpaved portions. 1

1 "" ' Hew Mystery Stirred Up In Sex Scandal LONDON (UPl)—New mystery was stirred up in the widening Profumo scandal today by publicly expressed doubts that a rich former boyfriend of call girl Marilyn (Mandy) Rice-Davies had died as reported. The man in question, Peter (Polish Peter) Rachman, 42, was reported to have died of a heart attack last Nov. 30. Miss RiceDavies, 18, testified during a vice hearing recently that she had lived with Rachman for nearly two years. Labor Member of Parliament Ben Parkin, quoting rumors current in London, scoffed at the low value of Rachman’s estate and suggested that it would have’ been easy “to switch bddies.” Edgeware General Hospital, where Rachman was declared dead pn arrival, denied the implication Monday night and said the dead man was Rachman. Ten days after Rachman’s reported death, the Profumo scandal started to come into the open when a West Indidn musician, John Edgecombe, fired five pistol shots at the apartment of call girl Christine Keeler, a friend of Miss Rice-Davies, Christine’s absence from the country when she was scheduled to testify at Edgecombe’s trial led to charges she was covering up for a prominent person. War Minister John Profumo first denied, then admitted, to parliament he had been carrying on illicit relations with Miss Keeler, and-ntsigned his post. She later claimed to have been intimate with Soviet assistant naval attache Eugene Ivanov at the same time. Christine and Mandy have told sensational stories about vice in governmental circles and high society. Both were witnesses in the pre-trial hearing of Dr. Stephen Ward, a well-known osteopath accused of living off the prostitution earnings of them and other young girls. It was during her testimony at the Ward‘hearing that Miss RiceDavies told of living with Rachman. Rachman, a stateless refuge from Poland, had extensive real estate holdings in London slum areas- He also was reported to own 20 nightclubs and to have jJived in a $200,000 mansion. . Labor M.P. Parkin brought ’’flaetrman’s name back into the case Monday during debate in the House of Commons. After enumerating Rachman’s sources of income, Parkin said the real estate tycoon left an estate of only $22,400 when he died. “Do you think anybody believes that?” Parkin asked. “It would be a very easy thing to switch bodies,” he added. “A cremation—and a stateless man—and that is the end. A very good idea for substitution, and a very useful one, too, just 10 days before thll hell broke loose.”

T Lands Glider Bui .1 ' Can’t Pin Location

Monday afternoon a visitor soared down out of the clouds intp Adams county, and without a sound landed on a prosperous Root township farm, only to discover that it was practically impossible for him to find out where he was in a manner that would explain it to someone else from “outer space.” Sound incredible? Well, it actual- • ly happened. Robert Nichols, of Adrian, Mich., soaring in a motor- ■ less glider on the powerful updrafts of hot air leaving the earth, left Tipton, Mich., Monday morning on a 191 mile glide into Cih- ■ cinnati, 0., trying to get credit for , a diamond gold flight from the In- [ ternational Soaring Society. 1 Had Good Updraft When Nichols started south, he ■ had good thermal updrafts, but as he reached a point east of Van ’ Wert, 0., he “lost” the currents which kept him up. He had been towed into position by a small 190 horsepower Piper cub with a spe- ( cial tow glideline and an experienced tow pilot from the Toledo I Glider Society, of which he has [ been a member for the past three ; years. He had piloted motor planes for 28 years. I Nichols turned west looking for more updrafts, and finally, as he failed to find any, he had to IJnd, coming to rest in Root township on i the Al Busick farm, about four and one-half miles north of the curve on 224 east, on the Saddle Lake road. .. How To Explain But then Nichols had problems. His auto and trailer were enroute to Cincinnati to pick him up, and they were to call back at frequent intervals to find out if he had had to give up the flight, so they could pick him up if necessary. But Nichols had no why of explaining where he was. In Ohio, the county roads are uniformaly named, and marked, so that every resident knows what road he lives on, can tell you, and a stranger approaching any intersection can tell which roads he is approaching, and stop at the right place, turn, or proceed, as necessary. But in Indiana, while most counties, like Allen, Wells, and Jay, have marked their roads plainly ' for the convience of the rural road users, Adams county has only numbered theirs on the maps. Since the roads aren’t marked, and out-of-county, as well as many in-coun-ty, people have no maps, using the roads is quite difficult. Nichols asked the Busieks where he was, and they told him Root township, also not on road maps.

Then they told him from the “saddle Lake Road," also not on roadmaps. He called the county surveyor’s office, and tried to locate it on a cdunty map, .but even when he did this, he couldn’t figure n way to explain to people approaching, from either Decatur or Van Wert, how to reach the farm. Met In Town After 45 minutes,, he gave up, and palled the people and told them to meet him at the Decatur public library! Meanwhile, he had to get into town to the library, and missed all the “waiting” time, when he could have been disassembling his glider to take it back to Michigan. Ab a member of the Toledo Gliding Club, Nichols was undaunted by his experience, but as he was getting a sandwich and cup of ocffee, he did. mention the very great need of Adams county to mark its county roads, not just for glider pilots, who are few and far between, but for local people to use, too.
