Mexican Rail
Strike Ended

MEXICO CITY, Feb. ~
(AP) - Railway workers
trickled back to their jobs to-
day. ending a strike that para
lyzed more than two-thirds Of
Mexico's rail transportation.
The first Of the 10000 strik-
ing workers began showing up
at station and yards at $50
am. That was the hour set
last night when union leaders
and officials of the govern
ment-owned railroads reached
agreement giving the workers
an average 4 per cent raise and
medical and housing benefits.
Service was not Immediately
resumed. Trains were expected
to get rolling later in the day.
There were no signs of jubi-
lation among the workers, who
settled for much less than they
demanded. Newspapers gen.
orally hailed the settlement as
a victory for the government.
1t was a quick settlement of
the first serious threat to Pres
ident Adolfo Lopez Mateos'
three-month-old government.
The strike had stopped oper-
atoms on two-thirds of the
$4,000 miles of government
owned rail lines since noon
Wednesday. Most of the major
routes were affected-between
Mexico City and the rest of
the country. and throughout
the northeast, north central
and southern sectors.
Both sides made concessions
to reach agreement last night.
. The government said the I'M
ion accepted the same proposal
it had rejected shortly before
the strike began, providing ST.
$4,000 annually for pay in
creaseS and IS million dollars
for medical care for workers
and their families.

DemocrafsAci
On Site Today
BY J. A. OLEARY
Star star Writer

The Democratic National
Committee is expected to nail
down the choice Of Los An
geles for the party's 1860 ma
tional convention today.
AS the committee convened
at the Sheraton Park Hotel
National Chairman Paul M
Butler predicted the Los An
eeles recommendation by an
18-member site subcommittee
would be ratified.
But Chicago and Philadelphia
have not dropped out Of the
race and have been pleading
their cases with national COM
mittee members.
Called Too Expensive
Southern members last night
denied reports that they would
join in an organized fight
against the West Coast choice,
The subcommittee which rec
Commended Los Angeles was
headed by Camille F. Gravel,
| jr., Of Louisiana.
The main arguments raised
against Los Angeles are that
the trip would be too expen-
sive for a majority of the dele
gates. and that the difference
in time will cause the conven-
ton to lose its televiSion AUDI
ence In big Eastern cities If
important developments occur
at night sessions.
Six cities were in the race
originally, but Los Angeles won
the decision in the subcom-
mittee with its offer of $3.50, 900
plus use of a new l7,000-seat
sports arena.
The Republicans are not ex-
pected to pick their convention
city until next month.
The radio and television in
dustry has been trying to per-
suade both parties to meet in
the same city, because of the
heavy cost involved in setting
up transmission facilities in
two widely separated places.
There is also some saving for
the two major parties when
they use the same hall.
But if the Democrats pick
Los Angeles, it is not likely the
Republicans will go there. The
G. o. P. met in San Francisco
in 1856.

after 10 years in Washington,
16 Of them as a Republican
Representative from Oregon
and the last two years as csc
chairman.
Mr.. Ellsworth says it Is es-
sential that the Government
change its pay system so that
1t can keep competitive pace
with industry in adjusting the
salaries of its employees.
1T may have been all right
in the horse-and-buggy age Of
so or rs years ago to depend
entirely on Congress in fixing
the pay Of Federal employees"
Mr.. Ellsworth said. But in
this day and age the Govern
ment is at an extreme disad-
vantage in attracting and re-
tanning its key employees by
the cumbersome method of ad-
justing Federal salaries. 1t
usually takes four or flve years
after q need for a salary adj
justment is apparent before
Congress gets around to acting
on pay legislation. We need
much faster action than that. 4"
Mr.. Ellsworth does not advo-
cate that Congress give up its
control over Federal salaries.
He acknowledges that he doesn't
have a pat solution to the
problem. But Mr.. Ellsworth
feels that while Congress should
retain supervision of Federal
salaries by setting minimum
and maximum pay rates or
through specific appropriations,
the executive branch Of Gov
eminent should have more
leeway and f1exibility within
these boundaries in adjusting
pay as the need arises.
Mr.. Ellsworth feels that an
immediate study of the Federal
pay situation should be under
taken either by the three Civil
Service commissioners or by a
bipartisan pay commission as
proposed by President Eisen-
hover. The recommendations
should be adopted unless Con-
gress specifically rejects them
and gives the reasons for doing
so, Mr.. Ellsworth proposes.
On other employee matters,
Mr., Ellsworth feels that the
Government should install
modernized computing ma
chimes, ETC.. in its personnel
operations so that a central
job vacancy file can be estab-
lished in the csc for job seek
ers, employe records and back
grounds maintained for Gov
ernment-wide transfer and
promotion purposes.
Mr.. Ellsworth also proposes
q stepped-up system of holding
Federal exams and placing the
employees who pass the exams,
particularly in executive, pro-
fessional and administrative
jobs. ALI too often under the
present system a person who
passes an exam has to wait
many months before getting a
chance at a Government job,
with the result that he fire.
quently gets discouraged and
takes an outside job instead.
As Mr.. Ellsworth leaves his
csc job, he had this to say
about Federal employees:
The thing that has impressed
me the most the past two years
is the wonderful job that Gov
eminent workers are doing.
There is no finer group of peo-
pie anywhere"
Mr.. Ellsworth's departure is
a loss to the Government scene.

Aid Plea Sent

BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower for
mally asked Congress today for
the $3.929. .995, 900 in appropria-
tions for the foreign aid pro-
gram which were included in
his budget.
A separate bill authorizing
the appropriations has to be
passed first, and Congress still
is working on that. The pros
poets are that neither the
authorization measure nor the
appropriation will turn out to
be what the President wants
Instead of authorizing the
full $50 billion, the House cut
the figure to $3,542. 800. 900. The
Senate hasn't acteod yet, but its

has approved an authorization
of $4,l64,820.000.

SecrecyE Ends

Salaries of Workers

The Senate voted early today
to push aside the secrecy that

publish the names and salaries
of all Senate employees every
three months.
Office payrolls Of individual
Senators have been kept secret
since l948 under Senate rules
Members could make public

Demands for opening the

cardiogramS soon to be started

retirement.
The Pilots Association is just
as vigorous in its concern over
the co-pilot aspects of the pro-
posed amendments to regula-
tions.
Amendments Proposed
Amendments would require
the airlineS to submit their CO.
pilot training programs to the
FAA for review and approval;
establish the semi-annual pro-
f1ciency tests and require that
each co-pilot be not only
qualified to fly the aircraft to
which he is assigned. but be
actually rated on the particu-
lar plane.
The airline industry recently
said it is a general practice, II
not a company rule, that every
copilot be qualified to fly the
airplane.
But the Pilots Association,
criticizing checkout and prof.
cheney testing methods, con-
tend that a copilot. after get
ting an initial proficiency flight
test, may fly for months with
