union wage increase demands
Mr.. Broadwater then suggested
this formula:
/. The union continue to work
six months under the present
contract; 2. The Senate i'm
mediately pass the bill raising
school bus fares; 8. Congress i'm
mediately pass legislation giving
the company relief from the
gross earnings tax; 4. The Public
Utilities Commission act favor
ably within a month on a pend
ing are increase petition and fix
school fares at half adult fares:
5. Congress relieve the company
of financial responsibility on
street paving and snow removal,
and 6. Relieve the company Of
public hearing costs other than
its own.
No "BIank Check" Seen
The company did not say di-
rectly that such relief would pos
itively accrue to the benefit Of
employees represented by the un-
ion. Mr.. Broadwater said:
IF these events occur quickly
and in sequence, we would then
be able to experience the prac-
tical results of the additional
revenues and be in a position
to renegotiate with the union
about December l on a basis that
would be realistic.
However, this should not be
considered as a blank check for
the union. but only as an oppor-
tunity that would provide them
with some reasonable degree of
obtaining betterments should the
revenues warrant it"
Reaction of some Senators to
the letter was immediate.
"The company seems to have
closed the door here. they've
taken an arbitrary stand" said
Senator Mcnamara.
This committee has done q
public service" said Senator
Morse. we've smoked them out
and revealed their true purpose

would like to turn the skeleton

Mr.. Broadwater quoted Robert
M. Weston, PUG commissioner
as saying it wouldn't do any
good to bring in request for
a rate increase because he would
sit on 1t for a year." #
Both Robert E. Mclaughlin
and Brig. Gen. Thomas AseLane,
now District Commissioners, said
they did not hear Mr.. Weston
make that statement while they
were sitting with the PUG as
commissioners.
Gen. Lane said any discussion
with the transit company on
the appropriate time to file for
rate increases were not based
on the merits Of a fare increase
but on the temper on Congress
in respect to pending legisla-
tion on Capitol Hill.
Union Seeks Arbitration
The union was holding out for
arbitration. It stuck by its offer
to postpone the strike one month
provided the company would
arbitrate if no settlement were
reached, and would grant full
retroactivity.
Mr.. Bierwagen said the union
could not accept the suggested
settlement offered yesterday by
the Commissioners.
Also in the works was an 11th-
hour mediation effort. Federal
Imediators planned to take over
this afternoon in event all other
measures have failed, and keep
plugging away until the midnight
deadline
Unwilling to Wait
Union officials said failure OF
a settlement today would surely
precipitate the strike tonight.
The union members are un-
willing to postpone even until
after the Fourth of July, despite
the fact a strike would cause the
company less convenience over
the long holiday weekend and
cost workers holiday premium
pay.
"The strike signal will be given
by shop stewards, who also are
responsible for notifying the
men If the strike does not take
place." said Mr.. Bierwagen.

remain calm and orderly, and to

only to the date Congress pro-
vided the additional funds, and
would not go back to July /, as
amended by the union.
Senator Morse asked why
the company so strongly op-
posed voluntary arbitration.
There are many reasons
why we oppose arbitration of

ecutive replied.
sWe do not have control over

Responsible to Stockholders
Mr.. Broadwater gave as an
other objection to arbitration the
fact that the stockholders expect
their elected officers to do the
negotiating.
Asked whether he thought the

Billy Graham Blasts
0ne-Day Christians,
Six-Day Hypocrites

A vigorous Billy Graham hit
hard during a press conference
yesterday at hypocrites who go
to church Sunday but do not
live their religion the other six
days.
Il was speaking recently to a
man who was swearing like a
sailor and was half drunk" the
noted evangelist told reporters
at the Mayflower Hotel. Despite
that, he was very proud that he
went to church every Sunday.
That is not true religion to me.
"All the current talk we hear
of God is fine and wonderful,
but it is not enough. The thing
we want to do is to translate our
belief in God into our daily lives. I"
Mr.. Graham, here to speak at
the 2 and II am. services to-
morrow in National Presbyterian
Church, said there is more
tolerant attitude towards racial
minorities in our country today.
l think there is a great deal of
hope and encouragement in ra-
cial matters"
But he expressed disappoint-
ment at the rise in juvenile de-
linquency. immortality and al
coholism.
TT provides a paradox to peo-
pie overseas who read about our
religious resurgence and then
learn about these things" the
evangelist observed. e.
DR.. Graham outlined his COM
ing visit to Scotland, which be-
gins in Glasgow on March 81 and
runs through April 80. The meet
ings, except the closing one, will
be held in Kelvin Hall, seating
1l,O00 persons. He said 1000
seats have been reserved for each
day of the six weeks, and the
demand is continuing.
"The last meeting will be held
in Hambden Park football sta
dunn, which seats 10000 per-
sons" he explained. Already
10000 requests have come in"
The evangelist also said his
itinerary will include London,
May IA to 81; Paris. June 5 to
II; cities in Holland and Swift
zerland and in Germany, and a
final appearance in London, at
the Baptist World Alliance meet
ing, on July %. -.

"a look at the present economic
situation indicates, in my judg-
ment. that the time for action

That language. Senator
Humphrey said, would seem to
me Ito indicate a fear that we

Reciprocal Trade Bill
Appears in for Tough
Time on Senate Floor
By J. A. O'leoy

1t is clear beyond doubt that
the administrations new recip-
rocal trade program is in for
another stiff battle in the Senate
This became obvious in the
marathon session staged by the
Senate Finance Committee yes
terday. The meeting lasted
nearly seven hours with no time
out for lunch.
The committee has another
long list of witnesses scheduled
for next week when it recon-
venes Monday. The hearings will
continue until March 18.
Then will come the effort in
closed committee sessions to
modify the bill, which narrowly
escaped an amendment in the
House to curb the Presidents
power to disregard Tariff Com
mission recommendations.
Most observers believe the bill
will pass the Senate. but only
after a long fight and several eff
forts to restrict the scope of the
program. AS. the bill stands it
would extend the trade agree
ment program for three years
with authority for the President
to cut tariffs by another Is per
cent during that time.
Senator Malone, Republican,
If Nevada, arch foe of the trade
agreement program, did most of
the questioning at yesterdays
hearing.
Senator Malone is concentrat-
ing his fire against the bill on
the argument that it would give
the executive too much power
to reduce tariffs that would have
the effect of hurting some Amer
lean industries in order to in
crease the overseas trade of
other industries.
John C. Lynn was on the
stand most of the afternoon ex-
planning why the American
Farm Bureau Federation favors
the House bill with amend
ments. One of the changes the
bureau suggested was an ex-
tension for four instead of three
