Life between Is and IS is a decade
of disillusion.
This was stressed before the
American Psychiatric Association,
meeting here today, by DR.. Edward
G. Billings OF Denver. He asked
that physicians pay more attention
to the inevitable stresses Of life
which are responsible for many Of
the troubles of this age group.
In the first place. DR.. Billings
said, this is a time when ones am
bitions are altered in the light Of
reality, and this often is severe
emotional strain. New ideals must
be formed to replace those of youth.
Secondly, he said, 1t is time
when the biological rhythms Of the
body are changing The psyche

gether in pattern to which the
individual finds great difficulty In
adjusting. The result, he said, is
the appearance of many imaginary

There are hundreds of unnecessary
operations which could be avoided
if doctors would study the psychic
reactions of the individual.
Heredity in Aging Studied.
In another paper Drs. Franz J.
Kallman and Gerhard Sander OF

coming increasingly evident that
some OF the basic secrets Of life
are locked in old age and challenge

mental influences at work in the
process of aging. They selected both
identical and nonidentical twins.
The influence of heredity on the
aging process was clearly apparent.
One pair, for example, who had been
separated for a long time, became
blind and deaf in the same month
and died within five days of each
other, just before their S6th birth
day.
The entire group of twins was
given identical psychological tests.
Identical twins showed much the
greatest tendency to score alike
throughout life, indicating that at
least some intellectual abilities de-
pend on the potential present at the

The difference in the time one

Miss Dorothy Bailey, president OF
UPWA Local 10 in Washington and
a member of the unions Executive
Board, acknowledged that she
doesn't always see eye to eye with
the leadership.
But, she said, the leadership

Although the union Is expected
to say that the third party move
ment has always proved to be q

welcome move now, it Is not ex-
pected to indorse oflcially the
candidacy OF Henry Wallace.
Judging from the delegates ap-

there are more than enough votes

the fact that President Murray Of

Rail Writ Hearing
Postponed 10 Clear
(
Way for New Talks
~ The Associated Press

A court fight scheduled today
in the railroad labor dispute has
been postponed until May % to
clear the track for renewed bar
gaining talks between the rail
companies and the engineers,
firemen and switchmen.
These talks, which started yes
terday, were to continue this morn
ing.
The Government on May 10
averted q strike by the three unions.
1t seized the railroads and got JUS
tice T. Alan Goldsborough Of Dis
trict Court to issue restraining
order against the walkout.
This order was to expire tonight,
and Justice Goldsborough had set
hearing for today on Justice
Department motion for an injunc-
ton that would keep the unions at
work for . longer period.
Order Extended 10 Days.
But last night, at the Justice De-
partment's request, Justice Colds
borough cleared away those legali-
ties in this way:
/. He extended the restraining Or
der for 10 more days. until May 20
at 7:45 pm.
2. He postponed the injunction
hearing until the morning Of Fri
day, May 20.
Justice Department lawyers said
they made the request because OF
the renewed efforts to settle the long
dispute over working rules and
wages.
A settlement would mean a quick
return OF the railroads to their
owners.
Neither the railroad spokesmen
nor the union chiefs would tell re-
porters what went on at the bar
gaining sessions held in a hotel yes
terday.
1t was indicated they were explor-
ing the recommendations White
House emergency board made on
March n. The purpose is to see If
some arrangement can be worked
out that would be consistent with
the boards report and at the same
time give the workers more bene-
fits from changes in the working
rules.
Wages Now Minor Issue.
One such device that has been
talked about informally would be to
give a retroactive effect to some Of
the rules changes proposed by the
board. That is, certain workers
might be given sums of money equal
to what they woaid have received
had the rules changes taken effect
sooner.
SOME of those changes would,
bring added pay to crews on light
weight freight locomotives, to
extra" men in yard service. and
so on.
As for wages. this was believed to
be no longer a vital issue.
The board proposed and the
railroads agreed to pay-a general
wage raise OF 15h cents an hour,
retroactive to last November /.
This would be IN average raise of
about II per cent for the 100000
men involved. The unions de-
manded q blanket raise OF 80 per
cent, with more for the lower r-paid
men, but later agreed to take 15is
cents II rules changes were salts

No Hope Of Upset.
BUG leaders acknowledge that
they have no hope of upsetting the
leadership Of UPWA President
Abram Flaxer and the rest OF the
unions officials. In fact, they say
they aren't even going to try.
There is just one thing that would
prevent the BUG insurgents from
leaving UPWA. That is If the Fed
eral employees branch Of UPWA be-
came q separate union.
But this doesn't seem likely at
the moment. UPWA's leadership
has decided against the split, unless
1t becomes absolutely necessary
which means If the Keefe Red"
rider becomes law. In that event,
the unions Executive Board will
have the power to order the splitup.
BUG people at the convention,
however, say they don't think they
can afford to wait to see what the
outcome will be. They say the
membership they represent has
wanted to bolt UPWA for some time
and that they have to take action
now.
ALMOST UNANIMOUS - The
convention gave UPWA's leadership
an overwhelming vote Of confidence
on policy matters when the unions
official 1948 report was read yester-
day. Only 4 handful Of the nearly
500 delegates here voted against the
present leadership's record during
the last few years. 1t presages the
easy election of Mr.. Flaxer and all
Of the union's S other ofdcers tomor-
row.
RED RIDER - The Keefe Red
rider which would cause the firing
Of all Government employees whose
union officials fail to sign non-
Communist atIidavits, again came IN
for a large share Of the conven-
tion's attention.
Delegate after delegate took the
floor to denounce the rider; but the
small group Of BUG delegates con-
tended that the failure OF Mr..
Flaxer and other UPWA officials to
sign the af1ldavits "jeopardizes" the
jobs of all UPWA members who
work for the Federal Government.
"Al Of our Federal jobs are in
jeopardy" declared Delegate Steve
Bodisch Of Wood, Wis, a Veterans
Administration employe. What is
the leadership going to do about it7"
Another delegate. Jean Clements.
OF UPWA's Labor Department local
in Warrington, charged that
UPWAs left-wing leadership. had
hampered the unions growth.
She described as vicious lies" the
charges made by UPWAs leadership
that the BUG is composed Of Red
baiters." She said the group wants
the union to follow the oficial
policies set down by the national
CIO and Its president, Philip
Murray.
UPWA'S SIDE-The delegates
listened politely enough to the BUG
people, but only . mattering OF
them applauded.
In contrast, the convention wildly
cheered the speech Of UPWA Vice
President Mort Fllray. in which Mr.
Furay ofiicially spoke for the unions
leadership on its record for the last
two years.
Mr.. Furay described the opposition
faction as "ingrates." and declared
they are undermining" the welfare
OF Government employees.
They are trying to wreck the
union with lies and hate-by Red
batting and disruption" Mr.. Furay
declared.
