Long Island Strike
Voted by Truinmen

NEW YORK. Aug. 2 s(P.-
Trainmen on the Long Island
Railroad, the worlds busiest
commuter line and a vital IA
ciliity for thousands of Man
hattan's workers, have voted
overwhelmingly to strike at IL
am. Saturday, 1t was announced
today.
The trainmen, members Of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, independent. voted the &C
ton in a dispute with the man
agement over wages and working
conditions.
However, whether the men &C
tually will leave their jobs at
the specified time was a matter
for conjecture. The Railroads
general manager said the dis
pute had been certified to the
National Mediation Board and
that under the Railway Labor
Act there must be a 60-day COOL

OF poison ivy have proven sue
cesSful. Thousands Of students

Directors Indorse
Present Ruce Policy

Directors OF the Metropolitan
Police Boys Club voted today TO
continue operating the club on
a segregated basis. at least for
"the present time"
The decision came after a pro-
longed study which was set of
by pressure for indignation from
Federal and District authorities
and at least one church group.
Resolutions approved by the
directors and drafted by a spe-
cial committee were made pub
lie by Fred A. Smith, president
of the organization.
The question has been raised
W h ether the Commissioners
would permit the city police to
continue participating in the or
|ganization If the racial segrega-
ton policy remains.
FOresees No Action
Mr.. Smith said. however. he
doubted the Commissioners
would take action which would
upset the club program OF
achievement. He cited portions
lof the resolutions which empha-
sized progress toward curbing
Juvenile delinquency in the Dis
Itrict through the Boys Club pro-
gram. He said he is convinced
the club will be able to work
out the racial problems if it is
given time to 10 so.
COMMISSIONS Samuel Spen-
Ger, in charge of police matters.

they (the Boys Club directors)

He said that he could not

The connection Melted him $780,

Air Secretary.
1t was also brought out that
Mr.. Talbot, following his ap-
pointment as Air Secretary in
early 1858. had given 1000 shares
of stock in Chrysler Corp. a
large defense contractor, to his
four children, two Of whom are
minors
Action Held Improper
Members of the Senate Armed
Services. which recommended
confirmation Of Mr.. Talbot for
his high Pentagon post, said this
was not a proper disposition of
the Chrysler stock. They said
Mr.. Talbot led them to believe
he would sell the securities out
right.
Upon learning of the Air Sec
tretary's resignation. Chairman
Met lellan of the Senate Inves-
Itigating subcommittee. said he
felt "the matter the committee
had under inquiry now has been
satisfactorily resolved" 1t was
held unlikely the Senate group
would make a formal report on
the matter.
Mr.. Eisenhower said last We'd
Inesday he would read the tran
script of the Senate hearing and
make a personal decision as to
what to do about Mr.. Talbot.
At the time. he praised the Off
Gals record as Air Secretary,
but pointed to the high standard
of ethics required of Federal Of
ficials.
Letters Disclosed
The White House released
without comment an exchange
of letters between Mr.. Talbot
and Mr.. Eisenhower.
There was nothing in the
Presidents letter accepting the
resignation indicating that he
had requested it. But many in
fluential Republicans have said
privately that Mr.. Talbot had
become a political liability" and
there was heavy pressure to
force him out of Office. In re-
cent days no high Republican
came to the Secretary's defense.
Until yesterday Mr.. Talbot
resisted efforts to force his resig-
nation. He had said simply he

A housing bill compromise
promptly accepted by the Sem
ate provoked a House tug Of war
today that could indefinitely de-
lay adjournment of Congress.
Democratic leaders voiced con-
fidence the House would concur
in a Senate House conference
recommendation for provision
authorizing construction Of As
900 low rent public housing units
for one year. Only last week.
however, a lop-sided vote by the
House struck all public housing
provisions from its original bill
as compared with a Senate bill
section to allow $4,000 units q
year for four years.
Meanwhile. in the Senate to-
day another snag developed when
practically the entire afternoon
was set aside for debate on NOM
nations of Harold c. Patterson
of Virginia to the Securities and
Exchange Commission and New
ell Brown of New Hampshire az

Although the conference re-
port on housing legislation was
approved by the Senate last

the House, but at the White
House today. House Republican
Leader Martin told reporters that
President Eisenhower, at con-
ference with G. o. P. legislative
LEADERS this morning. not only
urged reyisions in the confer
Ience proposal but also indicated
he might call Congress back into

now without passing what he
considers adequate housing leg

Mr.. Martin also emphasized
his personal belief that Con-
gress is not going to adjourn
until we get a satisfactory
housing bill" Speaker Rayburn.
however, remarked later to re-
porters that he believed the
