Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon who is no mean talker on the Sen ate floor, had to outtalk two cops to get any sleep few nights ago The scene was the Pennsylvania Railroad station here where Morse a champion of the railway workers was ironically stranded by his friends walkout.
 At 2 am, the Oregon senator folded his overcoat for pillow lay down on a bench, and put his hat over his face. But not for long A railroad policeman shook him You can't sleep here" he an nounced.
 Drowsy. but never at loss fol words, Morse retorted: "As long as I have the sleeper ticket in m pocket and the Pennsylvania rail road does not provide the space, can sleep here. Whenever you neee this space for sitting, I'll get up Right now, I'm going to sleep"
 Oouttalked, the cop walked away An hour later another policema, tapped Morse on the soles of hi shoes Cant sleep here, brother, he said.
 The Senator went through hi speech all over. The policeman eye widened in disbelief. Finally h said: T know you. You're Senate Morse, and you're just like yo' were on the teleyision program. Yo' outtalked 'em all then, too. l kln' of thought you were right then, anf do now. You go back to sleep.

 Let us repeat that we believe Community Chest nlan would be a good thing for Ketchkan
 It will cut out Implications and overlapping suo- scriptions or "uuickies" ths that and the other thing
 Every organization needing funds can present its budget and be pro-raed by screening commit tee Drives could then be made and stopped when the quotas were reached.
 Any one or organization in need of funds for uhlic or eergencv purposes could get in touch with ones in charge of the Community Chest This would relieve business men and others from putting up for all except cases of known merit.

; Rail Unions Offer
To Arbitrate Dispute
BY the AssociGted Press

Three operating rail unions to-
day proposed arbitration as a
compromise in their deadlocked
dispute with the Nations rail-
roads.
The offer to place their long
controversy over wages, hours and
operating rules before an arbitra-
ton panel followed the crisp an
nouncement by the National
Mediation Board last night that
it was reporting a deadlock to
the White House-for whatever
action President Truman might
choose to take.
The railroads have been oper-
ated by the Army since they were
seized last August to avert a
walkout of the trainmen and con-
ductorS. The trainmen signed an
agreement with the carriers on
May 25, ending their two-year
dispute.
That left the conductors, fire.
men and engineers still in a
stalemate with the railroads over
changes in operating rules, and
in the demand for a 20 per cent
wage increase for employees in
train service and a 40-hour week
at 48 hours pay for those in the
yards.

Police Disprove
Kaiser Kinship of
Forgery Suspect

A man who said he was the son
of industrialist Henry Kaiser, also
a former Chicago policeman, and
once assistant sergeant at arms
for the California Legislature, had
at least third of his story ap-
proved today as police charged
him with forgery.
Police said he was Charles
Washington Irwin, At, of Del Pase
Heights, Calf, and not relative
of Mr.. Kaiser. 1t. David Higgins
and Detective Sergt. John Luskey
arrested Irwin in a cocktail lounge
in the 1400 block of G street NV.
Irwin had been enticed there by
a salesman for Thomas Saltz Co.,
1409 G street NV, where he is
accused of passing bad check for
$145. The check, drawn on a
Sacramento bank, proved worth
less when notes were exchanged
with the bank.
When Irwin returned to the
store, the salesman, William Boyce.
took him across the street for a
drink while colleagues summoned
police. Police said they were in
clined to believe a part of Irwin's
story-that he had once served
time in California on a forgery
charge.
