By me 4 Assoeiussd Press

BUENos AIRES. Dec.
Plans for q huge Roman Cal tno-
lie ceremony to mark the end
of the cl,urch's Marian Year
appeared doomed today IN the
wake Of apoiice ban on the
annual procession Of clergy and
laymen honoring the Virgin
Mary.
Church authorities said police.
at the last moment, refused
permission for the scheduled
procession through downtown
Buenos Aires last night. No
official reasons were given. but
President Peron and the Ar
gentine Catholic, hierarchy have
been at odds publicly for several
weeks.
The ban indicated police prob
ably would also refuse permis-
sion for today's ceremony in the
Plaza de Mayo. The day is a
religious holiday, marking the
Tooth anniversary of the dogma
Of the Virgins Immaculate Con-
ception.
i. The scheduled time for the
ceremony coif1cided with that Of
a celebration arranged by Gen.
Peron and sports enthusiasts to
welcome home Pascual Perez,
Argentine fighter who won the
world hyweight championship in
Tokyo two weeks ago.
Differences between Gen. Pc
ron and the Argentine hierarchy
broke into the open November 10
when the president charged in
a speech that members Of the
clergy were seeking to infiltrate
labor and youth organizations to
undermine his cause.
Eight priests have been ar
rested since the controversy

 By placing stateside railroad policies and operations in effect up there. The traffic volume is slightly less than it was last year and revenues are slightly less, but too many people had jobs on the railroad"
 Kalbaugh, who was superinten- dent of the Salt Lake division of the Southern Pacific Co. when he was named to head the Alaska Railroad last August, said that when he took over on Sept. 1 the railroad has 2,376 employees.
 "We have 1858 now," he said, "and are approaching our first goal of a reduction to approxi- mately 1,5OO. When we get there, we will look things over and see where we can go."
 He said the saving in personnel costs runs into dollars fast in Alaska, when you consider the average wage on the railroad is about $6,O0O a year." On that basis the discharges would have re- duced the annual payroll by more than $4,2OO,OOO.
