Heavy Logging Train
Runs Wild, Killing
& in Philippines
BY the Assoeicted Press

MANILA, Sept. 3.-A heavily
loaded logging train carrying
more than 100 passengers on
empty fiat cars careened down a
mountainside and piled up on a
wooden bridge yesterday, killing
at least 80 persons.
Most Of the others were in
jured, many critically. in what is
described as the worst railroad
disaster in Philippines history.
Cars, logs and crushed bodies
hurtled from the wrecked bridge
into a gorge 100 feet below.
Cranes were hoisting massive
logs from the gorge today and
officials said additional bodies
may be uncovered.
The wreck occurred on north
ern Negros Island in the south
ern Philippines and authorities
still were trying to piece to-
gether exactly what happened.
Engineer Pablo Villarete. 46,
said that as his train crept down
steep grade near the town
of Fabrica 16 cars loaded with
logs broke loose and began roll
ing free. In an attempt to save
his train he said he raced his
engine and seven coupled cars
down the mountain, but the
runaway cars caught up with.
the train on the bridge. -
The crash derailed many cars,
wrecked the bridge and tossed
five cars over the side. Chains
holding the logs snapped and, the
huge logs hurtled off the cars,
crushing many passengers and
sweeping others into the gorge.
Some cars were smashed against
the mountainSide.
officials said passengers on the
train were mostly employees of the
Insular Lumber Co., which owned
the train, and their wives and
children.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.~The AFL
American Federation OF Govern
ment Employees has mapped an
ambitious 1856 legislative pro-
gram for Federal workers at its
convention, just concluded here.
A Federal pay raise, health in
surance benefits. increased travel
allowances, an employe-manage-
ment relationship law. voluntary
union checkoff dues system. and
iberalized retirement benefits are
some Of the goals to- be sought in
Congress.
Although the program is an
ambitious one, AFGE officials are
optimistic that much Of it can
be enacted during the next two
years.
Roy L. Peterson. AFGE vice
president from Seattle. Wash.
and chairman Of the convention's
legislative committee, pointed
out that many Of the 1852 con-
vention proposals have been en-
acted into law.
when we formulated our pro-
gram two years ago. many people
thought that we were reaching
for, the moon." MIR. Peterson said
But much of it is now law"
Lists Enactments.
Mr.. Peterson pointed to the
new Federal employe life insur-
ance program, increased longev-
ity and overtime benefits, un-
employment compensation bene-
fits, uniform allowances, liberal
lied employe incentive awards
i programs and other benefits that
have been enacted during the
last two years.
Undoubtedly the Ages main
legislative goal next year will be
a Federal pay raise for classified
and postal workers. The conven-
ton asked that it be made ret
roactive to August %. the date
when President Eisenhower an
nounced his veto. The AFGE
hopes the raise can be enacted by
next April /.
The actual amount to be
sought will be decided by the
AFGE national officers and exec
utive council shortly before Con-
gress convenes in January. The
amount that will be asked prob
ably will range between 2 to 10
per cent.
Other Major Objectives.
Here are some of the other
major legislation that Congress
will be asked to approve:
/. Federal employe health in
surance program.
2. Increase of the present SO
a day maximum daily travel al
lowance to $12 or SIS.
3. A management-employe re-
lations law, whereby agencies
would be required to deal with
employe unions on all personnel
/ problems and grievances. While
most agencies now have satis-
factory working relationships
with enrploye groups, union Of
f1cials say that some bureaus dc
not.

Fringe Benefits Bill
To Add S5OO,OOO

The newly signed Federal en-
ploye fringe benefit bill will cost
the District Government about
$500 900 a year in pay Increases.
Schuyler Lowe, director Of gen.
eral administration, said yester-
day.
Among other things. the bill

janitors, cleaning women. chauf-
feurs, messengers and others will
be transferred to the hourly paid

Mr.. Lowe said tentative plans
call for transfer of about 2.433 to
the blue collar group and the
rest to GS ratings.
Average $500 Raise.
This will cost the city more
money, since the comparable
standards of the new position

but will vary widely. The trans
fers will take up to a year to
complete.
The conversion will make the
blue collar group the second
largest category among the city's
10000 employees. With the trans
fers, it will total about $500
About $50 of the CPC group will
be transferred to the GS cate
CORY, bringing its number to
about $3.50.
Following the top categories are
about 3,750 school teachers, 2,30e
policemen, 1,100 firemen and SOC
miscellaneous employees.
A provision of the bill new to
the District is the Government
employe incentive awards pro-
gram, which is liberalized. Mr.
Lowe said something will have
to be worked out along that line
for the District.
The District is studying the
possibility of asking the Civil
Service Commission to allow
from four to six city officials to
pick up some of the $50 new
$4,000 to $14,800 super" jobs to
be created.
Longevity Increases.
The law makes all the GS en-
ployes eligible for longevity pay
increases, if they stay in Govern
ment service long enough and
are relatively static in their oc-
cupations.
The Civil Service Commission
Is empowered to authorize agen-
cies to pay more than the mini
mum rate of a grade in filling
some jobs. The present law re-
quiries new employees to take
Jobs at minimum pay standards.

has experienced difficulty in OBJ
tanning doctors. engineers and
stenographers because OF the

WSCS Members Hear
 Delegates Report

Thursday evening "A members of the WSCS gathered at the home of Miss Sarah May Garrett. This was the program meeting for October and featured Miss Bertha McGee's inspired report of the Assembly held in Milwaukee last summer, at which she served as delegate. Miss McGee stated there were 5000 delegates from the four corners of the earth in attendance at this great assem- bly,. Helen Case assisted Miss McGee by reporting on a meeting which seemed the high point of all the fine gatherings. It was the one presided over by Bishop Booth of Africa, with an audience of 1000 people crowding the auditorium Members glimpsed flashes of what the Bishops talk must have held in inspiration when Arreta Howell read excerpts from meditations in book he had written. The group sang the hymn which was the theme song of the assembly with the beautiful accompaniment by FL izabeth Mahan on her violin.
 Miss Garrett called for the offer ing which climaxed the Week of Self Denial and Prayer. and with Helen Lambert, Marie Green, Els ter Chipman, Helen Priebe and Myra Mcdonald reviewed the miss ionary work the fund would help to finance. Prayers for the work and workers followed.
 After the meeting closed hostess es Sarah Garrett and Helen Priebe served ice cream and cookies. They were interrupted by the pre- sentation of set of red matching containers for Miss Garrett's shin ing new kitchen.
 President Helen Lambert eXpres- sed the sincere regret of the mem- bers as they thought of losing Helen Priebe. For some time Miss Priebe has been the very eff ficient Treasurer of WSCS. Not only are the members losing her loyal service, but a fine and val ued friend as well. In apprecia- tion Mrs. Lambert presented an Alaskan jade pin to her to re- mind her of Alaska and Alaskan when she is back home in sunny Texas.
