5 Rail Unions Agree
To Talks With Roads
On Wage Increases

CHICAGO. Dec. 4 (CDN The
country's 1870 Class / railroads
and five unions of road operating
employees agreed today to bar
gain on a national scale on wage
increases.
The unions represent $50, 900
to 300,000 employees who operate
trains.
Four of the unions agreed to
open national negotiations next
Wednesday. They are the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, the. Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, the Order
of Railway Conductors and the
AFL Switchmen's Union of North
America.
The firemen and trainmen will
bargain jointly, the other unions
separately.
Sessions will be in the Union
Station here.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers is expected to open its
negotiations January 6, following
approval of the general chairmen
of the union on the respective
railroads.
The railroads individually have
rejected demands of all of the
unions.

Top Area Officials
To Confer on Bridge
And Belt Road Issue

A top-level conference among
Maryland. Virginia and District
highway officials to try to find a
solution to the Washington
areas Potomac River bridge and
belt highway problems is being
arranged for January.
Donald E. Gingery told fellow
members of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission yesterday that
arrangements for the conference
are being made by Maryland
Roads Commissioner Russell H.
Mccain.
Mr.. Gingery quoted Mr.. Nc
Cain as saying Governors of the
two States will be invited. The
Maryland planners, who will at
tend, decided to ask Mr.. Mccain
also to invite interested mem
bers of the House and Senate.
Is First Get-Together.
The conference will be the first
major attempt by the three jur-
isdictions to get together on
highway problems in which they
all have strong interest.
The basic subject for discus
Z sion would be the belt route,
which would encircIe Washing
ton in both Maryland and Vir-
ginia, crossing the Potomac on
new bridges at Cabin John, Md.
and at Jones Point, Va.
On the Maryland side, funds
already have been earmarked
for the belt road, but handling
of the bridge problem still is to
be worked out.
In Virginia, the belt is planned
to loop from each bridge to
converge on the Shirley high
way. The Virginia Highway De-
partment, however, has said it
has no funds in sight for it.
Rather, the department is
awaiting an extensive consultant
study of road improvements
needed near Washington, in
cIuding the possibility of max
ing the belt loop a toll facility.
BY the time the conference is
held, the study should be in
hand.

believes it would be a mistake
also for Maryland-having the
advantage of the road anyway
to take on the added expense OF
maintaining and policing it.
However, Representative Fal-

that, if Maryland agrees, he feels
the State is "the proper place"
for roads supervision.

no trucks be allowed on it.
The general reaction, however,
was that trucks would be per-
mitted if the road should become

agreed also that, if it remained
under Park Service control, few
trucks would use even the Mary

Eisenhower Praises
ID. {. Order Against
Race Discrimination

The District Commissioners
have received congratulations
from President Eisenhower for
their recent order prohibiting
racial discriminatory practices in
city government operations.
In letter dated November 80
to Samuel Spencer, president of
the Board of Commissioners, the
President wrote:
Dear Mr.. Spencer:
when I returned to my Of
flee this morning, I found your
letter of November 25. I had, of
course, previously seen the news
paper accounts of the progress
you have made toward ending
racial discrimination in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Because the
District is an area of exclusive
Federal jurisdiction, I deem this
progress to be of special signifl-
canoe. My congratulations!
with warm personal regard.
Sincerely,
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, -
The Commissioners order af-
fected most of the Government
departments over which they ex-
erciSe control. One exception in
the coverage of the order is the
fire-flghting division of the Fire
Department. Racial integration
of the fire fighters will be under
taken "as soon as the Commis-
sioners deem the public interest
will permit" the order said.

Varying reactions were voiced
today to the possibility that the
Interior Department may suggest
making the Federally controlled
Washington Baltimore and Suit
land parkways available as
Maryland State roads.
Hhe Suitland road and the
greater portion of the Baltimore
Washington route now are con-
trolled by the United States
Park Service.
However. high Interior Off
cials said Park Service Director
Conrad Wirth favors relinquish-
ing control over the roads on
grounds they are not true park
ways in the sense that other
roads controlled by his service
are. No firm decision has been
made. but as The Star disclosed
yesterday, Mr.. Wirth has been
told to prepare tentative legisla-
ton for consideration.
No Decision on Cost Problem
Asked if the roads might be
made available to the State
without cost, an Interior spokes-
man said that question and
':other mechanics" have not been
worked out. The first question
for decision, he said, is whether
or not operation Of the roads is
a proper Park Service function.
Representative Small, Repub-
lican, of Maryland said he thinks
both routes should be turned over
to the State for supervision. He
predicted Maryland would be
willing to accept and maintain
them"
He said it probably would be
an idle gesture" however, if a

POntiff Traces

VATICAN CITY, (Radio, Nc
For the second time in a few days,
His Holiness Pope Plus XII point
ed to one of the great saints of
the Church as an example and in
Splration to Christians in the
troubled times through which the
world is passing.
Following shortly after an en-
cycllcal letter on the occasion of
the eighth centenary Of the death
of st. Bernard of Clairvaux which
contained an appeal for return to
"divine charity" in the world, the
Holy Father sent letter TO Bishop
Giuseppi Placido Nicolini of Assist
in connection with the seventh
centenary of the death of st. Glare
of Assist, foundress of the Poor
Clares.
In both the encyclical and his
letter to Bishop Nicolini, Pope Plus
spoke of the parallel between the
times in which the two great saints
lived and the present age. His let
ter to the Bishop was timed for
celebrations in Assist honoring St.
Clare, who was born in the Italian
town around 1893 and took the veil
from st. Francis of Assist himself.

sior recalled that when fhe U.S.S.R.
sent Constantine Oumansky as
Ambassador to Mexico. nobody
doubted that he came with far
reaching plans" Speaking Of the
Russian representative, who died
in a plane accident in l945, Ex-
celsior said:
The late Russian representative
was chosen from among the most
select members of the communist
diplomatic corps. A man of excep-
tional talents and great dynamlsm,
he soon showed that he had not
come to organize receptions or be
mere decorative figure. Within
few months of living in Mexico,
he had converted the Russian en-
bassy into a center of intensive
activities reaching into Mexican So
cial life.
The accident in which he lost his
life led to the uncovering of the
prolific propaganda work he had
undertaken throughout Central
America. His successors may have
changed their style, but not their
