List Terms Os Settlement Os Rail Dispute WASHINGTON (UPD — Here' are terms of the strike-averting settlement of the railroad rules dispute: —Holidays: Virtually all of the 200,000 hourly-wage rail operating employes will receive seven paid holidays. —Expenses: Rail workers kept away from home -on a layover will receive suitable lodging and a $1.50 meal allowance after four hours. —Manning of self-propelled machines: A new rule was established to reduce the number of operating employes, such as engineers and conductors, assigned to self-propelled equipother purposes. . —Pay structure: The present dual system of pay, on an hourly or mileage basis, will be retained without change. But any wage increase received by workers paid under this system until 1968 will increase only basic rates and not apply to mileage rates.

The carriers’ request for broader authority to set up longer train runs without changing crewss are referred to a committee consisting of the two private mediators. Dr. George W. Taylor and Theodore W. Kheel. —Combining road and yard service: The carriers won a limited right to use road crews for some types of yard work, especially in cases where this would permit elimination of a lone yard crew in a terminal. —Employe protection: Workers displaced by changes made under the road-and-yard rule and the self - propelled equipment rule will receive protection in the form of 60 per cent of their pay for four years.

Some Alabama Letters Back Welsh's Stand INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Strong criticism of Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace by Indiana Gov. Matthew Welsh, brought a stack of mail to the Statehouse today, nearly all of’ it from out-of-state writers. About 50 letters and postcards came from Alabama, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, New York, Ohio, Arkansas, Virginia, Florida, Connecticut, Kansas, Maryland, Georgia and Texas, with only two or three from Indiana. The mail was rated by a Welsh aide as about 2-1 against the governor’s position in criticizing Wallace at a televised news conference last Friday. Some of the letters from Alabama supported Welsh, who faces Wallace in Indiana's May 5 Democratic presidential preference primary. “Thousands of Alabama citizens both white and Negro are ashamed of Governor Wallace,” said me Alabama letter on the stationery of the Colbert County Voters League. “We deeply deplore Wallace s effect ■on Alabama. a letter from Mobile said. Another letter from Montgomery said “remember Wallace is an expert rabble-rouser.” But other Alabama mail objected strongly to Welsh’ss comments. A letter from Montgomery referred to Wallace as a fine Christian Southern gentleman, our beloved governor.’ Several Alabama letters objected to a reference Welsh made to the Confederate flag flying on the Statehouse dome at Montgomery, with the United States flag at a lower position on a flagpole on the Statehouse lawn. The writers said that’s the way the two flags have been flying since 1918 and Wallace had nothing to dp with it. “I commend you for having the courage and humanity to stand on this basic issue concerning the freedom of all Americans,” a Chicago woman wrote. The basic issue spelled out by Welsh in his conference was “freedom for all.” A Dayton, Ohio minister, the Rev. John L. Dunhan, wrote to praise Welsh as a responsible politician.” Several letters supporting Wallace in his opposition to the civil rights bill now before Congress made reference to the bill as a “Communistic plot” against the country. A writer from Little Rock, wrote that Welsh shouldn’t be talking about Alabama when “Indianapolis streets aren t safe for a person after dark. At least two women wanted Wallace as their chief executive. ‘I just hope Gov. Wallace will be our next president," a Louisville, Ky., woman wrote. And from Channelview, Tex., came the comment “I wish that Gov. Wallace could be governor of Texas.” It you nave something to’ sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

President Scores Stall-In Tactics

WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson today expressed "pity** for racial demonstrators such as those who marred his World’s Fair speech Wednesday, • but said the civil rights cause will not be harmed “by fanaticism or rudeness.’’ He said tactics like the “stallin’’ by some civil rights groups at the New York fair were “disrupting the cause” of fighting discrimination and "serve no good purpose.” “As far as I was concerned, I felt sorry for them,” Johnson said. The President made his remarks at a news conference in the Rose Garden outside his office, with 100 or so reporters standing in the sunshine. Covers Wide Area The President covered a wide area of topics in the session, which lasted a little more than 20 minutes. His points included: —He will fly Friday to five cities in the poverty-stricken Appalachia area to have a first - hand look at economic conditions there. The trip will include South Bend, Ind.; Paintsville and Inez, Ky.; Pittsburgh, Pa., and Huntington, W. Va. —He has approved a recommendation by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to close additional “obsolete” military installations for an annual saving of S6B million. The Pentagon will announce Friday whhich installations are involved. —His offer to provide secret foreign policy information to all “major candidates” for the presidency will be extended to Republicans Barry Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller, Margaret Chase Smith, Harold E. Stassen, Richard M. Nixon, and William Scranton —and Democratic Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. Johnson said that Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, in South Viet Nam, already has access to such data. —He had no opinion to express about proposals to add a jury trial amendment to the civil rights bill in the Senate. This matter is up for discussion in the Senate today. Step-up in Vietnam —The neutralist government of Laos is “still operating" despite the rightist coup there and Johnson has received “an encouraging report” from the US. Ambassador to Laos. —The President anticipates there will be “stepped up activity” in the anti-Communist war in South Viet Nam and he expressed hope there would be

"some other flags in there, other nations” to help "stop the spread of Communism in that area of the world.” —On the larger question of the cold war, he said there should be away to solve outstanding problems if the United States keeps a “cool head” in its dealings with Russia and “uses some imagination.” —The President again declined to say who would be his choice for a running mate in this year’s election, but made clear his view that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara would not be ruled out because of past Republican affiliation. Johnson said he had "never been a man who believes in guilt by association.” In announcing the Appalachia trip, Johnson said that on the final stop at Huntington, WVa., he would meet with governors of the states in the Appalachia area. Johnson said he would be accompanied by Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges and Welfare Secretary Anthony J. Celebrezze. The President’s decision to hole? a news conference today was made Wednesday night at the television studio, where he announced settlement of the rail work rules dispute. He turned to accompanying newsmen and asked: "Would you like to have a press conference tomorrow?” “Sure,” they replied. 1 U. N. Intervention Urged By Stassen FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD— Republican presidential candidate Harold Stassen, accusing the Johnson administration of "covering up the military situation” in Viet Nam, called Wednesday for United Nations military intervention in the country. = “It is high time that we move United Nations troops onto the border between North and South Viet Nam to halt the bloodshed there,” he told a news conference here. Stassen had a break today in his campaign against Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., for Indiana's GOP national convention votes. He will hold a news conference Friday morning at Evansville and will speak that afternoon at Vincennes.
