Transit Accord
Sought Todayin
Vital Meeting
WuIkout to Stort
At Midnight if
PurIey Fails
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Federal mediators today
went into a last-chance meet
Ing to avert a transit strike here,
authorized after midnight to-
night.
Representatives Of both sides
were called to a 2 pm. session
at the Labor Department. The
amount of a wage increase was
reported the last major issue,
although several union demands
for changes in working condi-
tions still we're unsettled.
At a press conference called
to summarize management S
position, o. Roy Chalk, president
of D. c. Transit System, said
the company will stand on it's
last proposition. The conference
was held at 1880 am.
He said, however, some tenn
porary concessions might be
made because of the critical in
ternational situation. Replying
to a question, he said the utility
would try to avoid service inter-
ruption of high Federal author
ity told both sides that it was
essential to get many key Gov
eminent workers to their jobs
because of the Middle East crisis.
He added any such concessions
would apply only for the period
of an emergency.
Chalk Is Hopeful
Mr.. Chalk told reporters he
thought a settlement will prob
ably result" by midnight but he
emphasized that this was a hope
based on a union decision to
lower its demands.
In defense of the company's
decision to make no further con-
tract concessions. he said:
The concessions (already
made) to the union could well
dissipate all prospect for any
profits"
Deputy Chief of Police How
ard V. Covell said that if a strike
occurs, Police Chief Robert v.
Murray Immediately would in
stitute the plan used to control
pedestrian and vehicular traffic
during the last transit strike.
This involves cancelling of
leaves and bringing back police
men from vacations. Deputy
Covell said the plan was dis
cussed at a meeting last week.
The District commissioners would
be the body to set the plan in
effect upon recommendation of
Maj. Murray.
Reports no Counter Offer
Mr.. Chalk has offered boosts
totaling II cents an hour
spread over a three-year period.
Although he has made two for
NAL offers since last week, when
the transit workers union voted
five to one to authorize its ex-
ecutive board to call a strike after
midnight tonight, he said this
morning the union has not yet
made formal counter proposal.
Thus. the union. Division $50.
Amalgamated Association of
Street. Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees of Ameri-
ca. is standing on its original
demand for a boost of Is cents
an hour.
Veteran transit negotiators,
however, have estimated the
union would be willing to settle
for 20 cent an hour increase.

Sir Anthony did not say
whether British and French
troops have actually landed or

to give Commons any details
on action to be taken by British

In what amounted to an ap.
peal for American understanding
the Prime Minister said:

ment's duty Ia make decisions fol

Laborites touched OF a series
Of uproarS in the house. They
denounced Sir Anthony and his
policies and shouted demands
for his resignation.
Censure Motion Offered
Mr.. Gaitskell accused the gov.
eminent of making "a positive
assault" on the basic principles
of British foreign policy--soli-
darity with the commonwealth
the British American alliance
and adherence to the U. N
Charter.
Labor introduced a censurt
motion against the Eden gov
eminent. 1t will be debated to-
morrow.
| Mr.. Gaitskell was unable to
determine by questioning the
Prime Minister whether British
and French forces had landed
His face flushed, Mr.. Gaitskell
said:
II ask the Prime Minister
simply to tell the House. the
country and. indeed, the whole
world whether a decision has
been finally taken that British
and French forces shall invade
the canal zone Of Egypt"
The Prime Minister replied:
Il am not going to give the
House any kind of account OF
what that action or what those
plans with our allies may be.
I'VE stand by what We SAID
and we shall carry it out"
Repeated efforts Fail
Repeatedly Mr.. Gaitskell re-
phrased this same question
trying to find out if the British
and French commands already
had definitely committed their
troops.
Sir Anthony said he made ii
plain yesterday that if the Brit
ish and French did not receive
a satisfactory answer to their
ultimatum they would take
military action at the expiry'
of the deadline period.

ultimatum. Sir Anthony said his
government had information
that Israeli forces were APP

some Of them might actually b.

Sir Anthony regretted the diff

million acres in the drought-

President Eisenhower plans to

million additional acres were in

The bulk OF the damaged land
Is located in Colorado. Kansas,

The department said the soil

area is considerably more serious

Man Good EvaluatOr
Man is an exceptionally good
evaluative computer, DR.. Lund
reported. From intermittent
information on radar display"
DR.. Lund observed, man is able
to estimate courses. velocities
times. and points of interception
with considerable accuracy. He
can listen to a sonar radar
signal 10 to IL decibelS sthe or
dinary unit used in measuring
sound above the random noise
level and he can tell whether he
is listening to returns from a
school of fish, a whale or a SUBJ
marine. In lowering a helicopter
he does a remarkable job OF
maintaining a fixed position
which would require solution of
some IL simultaneous equations
II done by computer.
Man has a good long term
memory for generalized ex-
perience but poor immediate
memory for most sensory func-
tions. This is especially so in
addition. His access time is slow
compared to a computer. but he
is able to recall generalized pat
terms Of previous experience to
solve immediate problems. AS
yet, no computer can do this.
In some respects man is bad
ly off compared with robots, DR.
Lund says. He can't see infra-
red or ultraviolet light. If he is
harnessed to a seat he can't
manipulate controls much more
than two feet away. If he is
required to respond to several
messages at time he will get
messed up.
Still, in the robot age. he will
retain abilities not applicable by
any machine, such as his ability
to separate signals from noise
and to make decisions in COM
plex and changing situations.
