THE DRESS REVUE WINNER
Says Rail Strike Up To Congress WASHINGTON UPI — The Senate Commerce Committee came to the end today of testiS mony on the railroad work rules 4 dispute with a warning by a : management spokesman that the problem can only be solved by President Kennedy’s plan. J. E. Wolfe, chief railroad negotiator, told the Senite committee Wednesday night that “positive, deep-seated and pervading” differences separated the carriers and the five unions involved. He said it was “highly improbable" the dispute can be settled if Congress does not approve Kennedy's proposal to turn the matter over to the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission ICC.
Three minor traffic mishaps Wednesday were reported by the Indiana State Police Post at Putnamville Thursday morning. The first accident occurred near Pleasant Gardens on U.S. 40 at 4:41 p.m. The second took placed on U.S. 40. east of the junction with Ind. 43, at 5:08 p.m. Trooper Ted Settle investigated both mishaps and no injuries were reported.

The driver of a tractor-trailer, stopped to give assistance but forget to set the brakes on the semi and it rolled into a serial light post, the state police said.
Harriman pumped more steam into the administration drive for test ban approval by asserting that the United States would "lose our leadership of the world” if the Senate failed to ratify the ban on air, space and underwater
tests.
He spoke at a National Press Club lunch not long after the White House announced that a 11-man delegation, including four Democratic and two Republican senators, would accompany Rusk
to Moscow Friday.
The delegation includes Democratic Sens. J.W. Fulbright, Ark.; Hubert H. Humphrey. Minn.; John O. Pastore, R.I., and John Sparkman, Ala; and Republicans Leverett Saltonstall, Miss., and
