Presidential Board
Urges Rail Union 10
Accept Company0ffel
By the Asseeioted Press

A presidential board recon-
mended today that the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen accept a railroad offer
of a pay raise Of 2312 cents an
hour for road service and 80 cents
for yard work.
On the immediate pay issue and
other questions in dispute, the
recommendations from the spe-
cial emergency panel followed an
offer made by the carriers more
than a year ago.
The board refused to go along
with union demand for an extra
8 cents an hour for yard men
when 40-hour week replaces the
present 48-hour work week. The
board said the additional boost
should only be cents.
Dispute Is Years Old.
Working rules changes proposed
by the railroads also would be
accepted under the boards rec
concentrations, with but little
modification.
The dispute between the rail
lines and the f1remen and engine
men is two years old. The boards
recommendations are based on a
settlement made last year with
the trainmen's union.
The f1remen have already re-
ceived a 12a cent boost for yard
men and cents for road service
employees from the Army, which
seized the railroads in November,
1850. and is still technically in
control.
Deductible From Raises.
These amounts would be de-
ductible from the new raises rec
commended by the board.
The boards findings may help
solve the tangled rail labor situa-
ton. Three unionS-the engineers
and conductors, along with the
firemen-have been in dispute on
wages and working conditions
with the carriers for several years.
Working under union boycott,
the board started its hearing last
November. The union in one ap-
pearance before the panel said
the board was acting "in an at
mosphere which foredoomed it to
failure" and refused to participate
in the hearings 4

Western Powers Ask
U. n. 10 Leave Korea
To Special Session
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. Jan. 26.-The United
States, France and Britain pro-
posed today that the U. N. Gen
|eral Assembly leave any political
discussion on Korea to a special
session which would be called
when circumstances warrant.
The Western Big Three opposed
debate recently in the Assembly
Political Committee on the politi-
cal future OF Korea until an armis-
tice agreement is reached there.
Speedup Indicated.
When the question first came
up there was a possibility it could
be taken up before the end of this
assembly. With a speedup point
ing to the assembly's end in an
other 10 days, the resolution was
presented to spell out a definite
decision not to take UP the ques-
ton at all.
If an armistice is reached and
the time is ripe for discussing
Korea's political future. a special
assembly session could be held in
New York.
A United States spokesman told
Ia news conference the resolution
is to be discussed at a Joint meet
ing of the Political, Economic and
Social Committees of the as
|sembly.
Lie Could Call Session.
1t would empower Secretary
General Trygve Lie to call a spe-
|cial Assembly session in New York
as soon as the unified command
notified him there was an armis-
tice in Korea. .
1--WE still hope that we can
reach an armistice in Korea on
an honorable basis" the spokes-
man said.
The spokesman said the reso-
luton served notice that the
United States would not stand
in the way of a special Assembly
session in New York if either a
majority of the U. N. members
or of the Security Council asked
for such a meeting. Nor was
there any limitation intended
he said.
He would not comment on
whether the session could deal
with decisions on bombing Man
churia or extending collective
measures against Red China.

Public Welfare Board
Gets New Setup for
Closer Contact Work

The Board OF Public Welfare
has been reorganized in a move to
bring it's members into closer con-
tact with the realities of welfare
operations.
Board Chairman Edgar Morris
yesterday appointed eight working
committees which will be respon-
sible for keeping the board in
formed on specific sL< ects.
Announcing the reorganization,
the board expressed a desire to do
more than merely hold monthly
meetings and to be acquainted
personally with realities of their
field on an operations level.
The plan to assign members
specific responsibilities is a de-
parture from the committee and
subcommittee type of organization,
the board noted, but it was be-
lieved reorganization on a func-
tional basis would result in more
efdcient administration.
Assignments Are Made.
Until now, the board has had
two standing committees ap-
pointed annually. One was re-
sponsible for agency services, and
the other for institutions.
These assignments were made
yesterday:
The Rev. DR.. Norman Gersten-
field, A. J. Driscoll and Mrs.
Theodore o. Wedel will have re-
SponSibility for public relations
and community Interpretation.
Mr.. Morris will head a COM
mittee on legislation liaison. Mrs.
Wedel will be in charge of volun-
teer services.
Fred s. Kogod and the Rev.
r. w. Brooks will be responsible
FOR personal matters, and, in ad-
dition. MIR. Kogod has been as
signed to budget and fiscal mat
ters.
Mrs. Radford Moses and Mrs.
Ida s. Taylor will work on child
welfare service. Preston B. Kav-
anagh and the Rev. Mr.. Brooks
will work with the administrative
staff to review statutes. regula-
tions and policies concerning the
public assistance division.
Order Four Visits Each Year.
Mr.. Driscoll was directed, with
the assistance Of at least two
board members. to visit each in
stitution under the board at least
four times a year. The two mem
berS will be rotated.
Specifics Of the plan, long con-
templated by the board, were
drawn up by Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea.
He announced that a meeting
was held this week to consider
whether a special committee
should be established in the Dis
trict to carry out recommends
tions of the Midi Century White
House Conference for Children
and Youth.
1t was decided that since the
District is essentially a city in
character, in contrast with the
wider territory of the States. the
United Community Services would
be best fitted to carry out the
conference recommendations.
The UCS will be asked to name
"a committee to serve for one year
on a trial basis. Further consid-
GRAFTON then will be given to
whether the District Commission
|ers should be asked to establish
la special committee.

was prepared. when possible. to
conclude q treaty with the Chinese
Nationalist regime Of Chang Kai-

The Chinese Reds have pledged
themselves to wipe out Chiang's

is why diplomats here regarded
the Pravda statements with con-

CThe Reds have their own way

Pravda said the shameful" at
