Rail Strike Threatens
Again in Dispute Over
Bigger Diesel Crew
Firemen and Eneinemen
Vote to Walk Out if
Issue Is Not Settled
By the Associofed Press

CHICAGO, Mar. ga Nation
wide strike involving about 80, 900
railroad f1remen and enginemen
threatened again today in the dis
pute over a union demand for
third crew member on multiple
unit Diesel locomotives.
In a vote by more than 10000
members of the Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginemen. the
union said IAN overwhelming ma
jority has authorized a strike :"
if a favorable settlement of the
issues cannot be reached"
David B. Robertson, president
of the rail brotherhood, who an
nounced the vote. said no strike
date had been set pending fur
ther negotiations. Mr.. Robertson
and committee of general chair
men are meeting here. The union
claims about 10000 members on
160 railroads.
Hopes for Settlement.
1--WE are holding up setting a
strike date in hopes that our diff
ferences can be settled without
the necessity of walkout," Mr..
Robertson said. call peaceful
methods under the Railway Labor
Act have been exhausted for
peaceful settlement of the dis
pute."
A presidential emergency board
last September 10 rejected the
unions demand for a second fire
man on diesel locomotives. The
union claimed an extra man was
needed on the diesels for reasons
of safety. It also said the more
efficient diesels were depriving
firemen of jobs by cutting down
the number of trains needed.
The carriers said that putting
on a second fireman would be
"featherbed edding made work.
Great Safety Cited.
The boards report said 'Diesels
are being built for greater safety
and the second man is not need
ed. They are actually creating
more work by bringing more
freight to the rail lines"
Last spring a presidential board
rejected a union request for an
other engineer on diesels.
In a statement last night, the
union said the railroads are
Realizing a savings of $4.5 billion
annually through the operation of
diesel locomotives. This amounts
to more than double the cost in
volved in these issues"

Jury Makes Progress
Toward a Verdict in
Gahinger Drug Case
Decision on One Count
Reached; Deliberations
Began Yesterday

The District Court jury de-
liberating the alleged theft of 500
vials of streptomycin from Gal
linger Hospital had made some
progress toward a verdict early
this afternoon. The panel took
the case at 4::35 pm. yesterday.
Shortly after noon Judge T.
Alan Goldsborough summoned
the jurors and asked if they had
reached an agreement. The judge
reminded them the indictment
against James w. Kinard, Gal
linger pharmicist aide, accused
of the theft, consists of two
counts, on either or both of which
they could return a verdict.
In response, Foreman Leo j
Bechtold announced that the jury
has reached a decision on the sec.
ond count. and has made some
progress" on the first. Count two
of the indictment involves the
theft of three bottles of chloro-
mycetin from the hospital, while
the other accuses Kinard of the
streptomycin theft.
Sends Jury to Lunch.
Judge Goldsborough, who had
indicated he was prepared to de-
clare hung jury prior to the
foreman's statement. then sent
the jury to lunch and ordered the
panel to resume deliberation of
the case this afternoon.
Judge Goldsborough ordered the
jurors to spend last night in a
hotel. But when no such accom-
modations could be found, the
jurist sent the members to their
homes admonishing them not to
read newspapers or listen to the
radio.
Two Health Department Off
cials, meanwhile, today began in
vestigating Gallinger's supply set
up, spurred by testimony during
the two-day trial that from 1000
to 5000 walls of expensive strep-
tomycin are missing from the
hospital.
The 35-year-oh colored defend
ant is charged with stealing three
bottles of chloromycetin, as we'll
as the 500 walls of the other won
der drug" from hospital supplies.
AS result of other testimony
in the trial. Police Supt. Robert J..
Barrett has asked Capt. Robert v.
Murray of the Detective Bureau
to report on complaints that Gal
linger officials failed to cooperate
with the investigation of the theft
last November.
Prosecutor Criticizes Stebbing.
Arguments in the trial came to
a resounding close late yesterday
with this demand to the jury by
Assistant United States Attorney
Arthur Mclaughlin:
Bring in a conviction to show
that Kinard shall not steal from
that hospital; and by your verdict,
show Charles West (chief phar-
macisD and DR.. Stebbing that
they were neglectful in their duty
to protect the poor unfortunates
who 60 to Gallinger."
Earlier the prosecutor charged
that DR.. P. A. E. Stebbing, hos

DETROIT, Mar. "a. Chrysler
Corp. today offered to set up a
$50 million trust fund to back it's
promise to pay s100 a month pen
sions to its $4,000 striking en-
ployes.
The offer came on the 59th day
of the strike. which has made
$4,000 idle in addition to the
Chrysler workers.
There was no immediate COM
ment from the CIO- United Auto
Workers,
The main issue in the long dis
pute has been the method of pro-
viding pensions. The union has
insisted that they be paid out of
a trust fund. Chrysler previously
had insisted on backing pensions
by its promise to pay"
Chrysler said the $50 million
would guarantee pensions to all
eligible workers for the duration
of the flve-year contract.
The company said it's offer also
liberalized eligibility requirements
for a pension and increased hos
pitalization and insurance bene-
fits.
Joint Administration Provided.
The offer also provided for a
degree of joint administration of
the plan, but not for joint control
Iof the $50 million fund. The
UAW has insisted on an equal
share in administering any pen
sion plan.
The recently signed Ford pen
sion plan provides for funding of
back service credits over a 30-year
period. There was no such pro-
vision in Chrysler's latest offer.
Along this line the company
said:
While the company would thus
provide for funding the pensions
of employees as they retire. it
would eliminate any unnecessary
kitty fund-one of the union
demands that caused the strike. .
The UAW has insisted that
Chrysler fund" the pension pro-
gram with payment of set
amount per work hour into a
kitty. The fixed fund of $40 mil
lion is Chrysler's answer.
Comparable to Other Plans.
ChrysIer said it's offer guaran
teed pensions comparable with
other industry plans" and made
continuation of the strike "a]l the
more senseless and inhuman."
THE complete cost of the pen
sions," the company said, would
be paid by Chrysler Corp. and the
employees would have to pay only
part of the cost of insurance
substantially less than previously" /"
The UAW has demanded that
the company set aside 10 cents
an hour per workers. cents for
pensions and cents for hospital
and insurance benefits.
Chrysler put no price tag per
hour on it's latest offer.

Declaration u. S. Has

By the Associoied Press


tary budget voted unanimously
today to ask Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower for testimony on his
view that America has disarmed
beyond the point of safety.
The decision was taken at a
closed-door session of the Senate
Appropriations subcommittee deal
ing with funds for the armed
forces.
Reporting the action, Senator
Chavez. Democrat. of New Mexico,
told reporters Gen. Eisenhower
will be called at the convenience
of the general, who now heads
Columbia University in New York
City.
Weakness Could Be Criminal.
The wartime supreme Allied
commander in Europe-who was
instrumental in drawing up the
present defense budget now be-
fore Congress while acting as tenn
porary chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff-told a New York
audience last night that the
heads of government around the
world know THAT this country has
reduced it's armaments below the
safety level.
He cited universal disarmament
as a major, ultimate key to true
international peace.
But he emphasized that the
United States could not safely
trim its defenses. even to the point
1t already has, until we have GER
tain knowledge that all nations
are doing likewise"
To show weakness in the face
of Soviet strength, he said is well
nigh as criminal as war itself"
Criticism Brought Into Open.
The five-star generals state
ment served to bring into the open
once again the recent bitter crit
tcism by some columnists and
magazines that Defense Secretary
johnson and the administration
had cut Army, Navy and Air Force
strength below what it should be.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee. and,
like President Truman, a Missouri
Democrat, said Gen. Eisenhower's
statement bolstered his own belief
that mimiltary spending could
not be cut in a major way.
The House committee made very
slight cuts in the defense budget
when 1t reported the packaged
appropriations bill. Senate ap-
propriations members were to get
their first detailed look at one
segment of the military budget
today when Air Force Secretary
Symington testifles behind closed
doors.
Plane Procurement in Dispute.
Much of the recent criticism has
evolved about the Air Force and
what the critics claim is the ad-
ministration's failure to provide
sufficient plane procurement for
replacement SO that the force can
be kept modern. Mr.. Symington
has said that he still believed
that a 70-group force was neces-
sary for adequate defense but that
the Air Force went along with Mr..
Truman's 48-group program be-
cause too much defense spending
might bankrupt the country.
Senator Robertson, Democrat,
of Virginia said he wanted to
question Mr.. Symington about
Gen. Eisenhower statement to
see If it concerned the Air Force
The general did not go into de-
tails on where the military weak
ness lies. Mr.. johnson has gone

lOydlIy lies, a 1TeSn controversy
developed today over charges by
Senator Mccarthy. Republican, of
Wisconsin. that Communists have
inflltrated the State Department.
Senator Mccarthy hotly disput-
ed a State Department report say
ing that a man he has described
as Russia's top spy in this coun-
try is not connected with the de-
partment.
Other Developments.
The controversy broke out amid
these other developments in a
Senate Foreign Relations subcom-
mittee investigation of the Nc
Carthy charges:
/. Chairman Tydings of the
Senate group formally requested
President Truman to turn over to
the investigating committee loyal
ty files on those accused by Sena-
tor Mccarthy. Similar requests
were made to the State Depart
ment, Attorney General McGrath
and Seth w. Richardson, chair
man of the Civil Service Loyalty
Review Board.

being Communist" said in

or fellow traveller" He
made the. statement in an inter-
view with the Associated Press as
he prepared to return by plane
from a diplomatic assignment to
India to answer the charges.
The new controversy over the
charges broke out after Senator
Tydings released late yesterday
the State Departments record of
employment on the man, still un-

Senator Mccarthy of being a Rus

Cites Record of Employment.
In a statement to which Senator
Mccarthy took vigorous exception
within an hour, Senator Tydings
said:
THE record Of employment
given me is as follows:
He has never been employed
by or connected with the State
Department except once. About
five years ago, and for a period
OF four months only, he was as
sociated with mission outside OF
the United States.
Once thereafter, on a single
day. although not employed OF
compensated by the State Depart
ment. he publicly addressed a
group of State Department en-
ployes.
"On another occasion, though
not employed by the State De-
partment, he took part over a
period of two days in a Citizens
Round Table Conference, in the
company of many distinguished
Americans who likewise were par
ticipating in this discussion.
II am advised that there were
no more contact, association, en-
ployment, or connection between
the State Department and this in
dividual in any manner or form
at any other time, save as men
toned above"
Called Completely Untrue"
Senator Mccarthy told a news
conference the report was com
pletely untrue" and "a deliberate
misstatement of facts by the State
Department" He also described
it as another of those obvious
attempts to twist and distort the
facts"
