Clearing One Track

Agreement between the Nations
railroads and the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers to accept binding
arbitration in their wage dispute is a
welcome development-and for several
reasons.
1t means, in the first place, that
one whole sector of current controversy
between the carriers and this union has
been removed from the strike zone
or, in other words, that settlement
terms on pay and directly related issues
which have been unreSolved during
months of increasingly hard bargaining
will be defined without further threat
of work stoppage. And, since the
engineers traditionally have had this
pace-making role in contract negotia-
tionS, there is great promise that the
terms reached will provide a pattern
acceptable to other operating and nom
operating rail unions currently negoti-
ating with the industry.
Uninvolved directly, but perhaps
affected in the long run, is the knottier
problem of the work rules-an issue
which is real "hotboX" in railroad
terminologR Sweating out three-year
moratorium, which ended with the ex-
piration of the operating contracts last
fall, on any effort to change these rules,
the carriers have been preparing for a
determined fight to revise "featherbed-
ding" rules which they claim are costing
them $500 million yearly for work not
done and services not performed. Ba-
sically, the rules date back as much as
forty years but many have been formal
lied in State laws-in so-called safety
requirements, for example-and the rail
brotherhoods have made clear their own
determination to resist any important
changes.
Thus far, the battle on the rules
has been primarily one of public state

forgotten Gop'

The writer of your edito-
rial, Forgotten Gap" does
not appear to fully under
stand the CLOAK and dagger"
activities Of a country. While
I am no great admirer of
Senator Symington, his criti-
cism of our intelligence eval-
uation is timely.
Intelligence information is
a nebulous thing. Its evalu-
alton is far more important
than the obtaining of the
information. 1t is here that
the results can be flexible
and be used to balance bud
cts. win votes and further
selfish interests.
Senator Symington knows
that evaluation of intelli-
gence information is the
toughest job and one that
can result in unusual conclu-
sions. Unless men like Sen
ator Symington question
these conclusions and insist
upon honest and accurate
results, our whole intelligence
program could quickly be-
come a farce. The Senator
is not questioning our intelli-
gence information but the
evaluation of that informa-
ton.
In a situation like this
Senator Symington cannot
publicly. because of national
security, name names and
present hard facts. He knows
that to do this would dry up
our sources of information
abroad which are so vitally
important.
The forgotten gap you
seem to stress is now history.
We are living in a missile age
where every action our Gov
ernment takes in matters of
national defense hinges on
development and deployment
of missiles.
Our form of Government
requires men like Senator
Symington - men who are
critical and not afraid to
publicly criticize those pub
lie officials who have such an
important mission as evalu-
ating intelligence informa-
ton. This public criticism
helps keep those officials hon.
est in their conclusions.
What we need is more re-
sponsible public-spirited men
in public life who put the
well-being of the country
above politics.

Dear Sir:
I'VE have so many birds in
our back yard, and especially
this winter the blue jays have
darted back and forth at a
great rate.
I'm the woods nearby there
lives a pileated woodpecker,
and much to our Joy now and
then he comes to our yard
where there is an old stump
of a tree wearing away.
He comes and pecks away.
Tad, my son, often walks
through the woods and has
found his tree with a hole
near the top.
when Tad knocks the
tree, if the woodpecker is
there he will poke his head
out and look around.
There is also a flock OF
bluebirds apparently staying
in these same woods this
winter. I have personally not
seen a robin this year but a
friend of mine said she has
seen one in the Bethesda
area.
Spring must be here soon,
but today has felt like a
really old-fashioned winter
with its chilly blasts.
Thanking you for all the
interests you bring us.
Cordially, w. r. D."

There are not many pile
ated woodpeckers in or
around Washington.
Another was located near
the canal in Georgetown.
The different sort of name
comes from the Latin pileus,
meaning a pointed hat or
close fitting cap of leather,
felt or wool, worn by some
orders of clergy and by
monks.
Pileiform means having the
form of a pileus, or cap.
The bird is quite large,
usually described as black
with red crest dts "cap.~
and white down the wings
and sides of the neck.
1t usually inhabits heavy
forests.
Members of the woodpecker
family always excite interest
from suburban watchers.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Kennedy 'Blitz' Causes Resentment
BY GOULD LINCOLN

cease attacking other Demo-
cratic aspirants, also express
doubts that the Kennedy
operation-much similar to
the operation that won for
him when he was seeking q
Senate seat m Massachu-
setts-will be effective in
States across the country.
The Senator and his younger
brothers and other youthful
members of the family are
aiding in his campaign, as
they did in Massachusetts,
meeting and talking with as
many people as possible. 1t is
a tactic that does win friends
in political campaigns. Fur
thermore, Senator KennedS
makes an excellent impress
sion in his television appear

more voters.
Poor Mans Candidate

ginia and Oregon primaries.

nedy wealth, and willing
ingneSs to spend it, at first
h a nd. The Minnesotan
frankly says he is the poor
mans candidate, that he
does not have the money to
campaign in as many States
as does the Massachusetts,
Senator. However, the first
big test of strength will
come April S in Wisconsin.
which could ruin Senator
Kennedy's chances for ulti-
mate victory should he lose
to Senator Humphrey there.
A defeat for the Minnesotan
could be equally costly. But
Senator Kennedy is risking
so much that, should he
lose, he has said he may quit
the race. All of which seems
to make the results in Wis
consin of very great impor-
tance-to Senator Kennedy.
Senator Humphrey and
every other aSpirant for the
presidential nomination.
Senator Kennedy deliber.
ately undertook this risk-in
the Wisconsin primary
even though he is an East
erner and from Boston, and
Senator Humphrey is a near
neighbor from adjacent
Minnesota, a former Mayor
of Minneapolis. 1t was all a
part of his decision to go
about this race for the NOM
ination with boldness. If he
wins in Wisconsin, as some
of his supporters insist he
will. he will have met the
first real test and be in
strong position.
One danger that may still
confront Senator Kennedy,
when the convention rolls
around, lies in the fact that
some of the delegates he
wins in the primaries, and
some of those he has gained
through strategic moves, as
in Maryland and Ohio, may
not stick with him beyond a
ballot or two. His best
chance for victory, as he has
said himself, probably lies in
an early ballot majority.
For both Senator Kennedy
and Senator Humphrey much
may depend upon whether
Vice President Nixon enters
the Wisconsin presidential
primary. If Mr.. Nixon holds
aloof, the Republican voters
will be at liberty to cross
party lines and vote in the
Democratic primary, favor
ing either of the Senators
and carrying either one to
victory. What the Repub-
lican tactic will be in the
event Nixon is not entered
in Wisconsin remains to be
seen. The Republicans may
prefer to keep Senator Ken
nedy rather than to kill him
off-or vice versa.

Inc kennedy DllLZ un-
doubtedly is making friends
for the Senator from Mas
sachusetts, hot on the trail
of the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination. But at the
same time, according to re-
ports reaching Washington, it
is stirring up resentment in
Democratic circles where po-
tential delegate candidates.
for the Democratic National
Convention-do not like to
be pushed around. Further,
supporters of other potential
candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination are Begin
ming to say that Senator
Kennedy is attacking lead
ing Democrats, like Senator
Lyndon johnson of Texas
and Senator Stuart Syming-
ton of Missouri, for not en-
tering presidential primary
States. This kind of thing is
not relished by friends of any
of the half-dozen "possibil-
tiles" for the presidential
nomination-including some
of the so-called favorite-son
candidates, among them Gov.
Pat Brown of California. SEN
ator Kennedy's threat to
enter the California primary
not dissimilar to the tactics
which obtained a pledge from
Gov. Mike Disable of Ohio to
deliver the Ohio delegation
to Senator Kennedy if the
latter would stay out of the
Ohio primary-is said to be
ra ankling in Democratic
hearts in the Pacific Coast
State. Senator Kennedy is
reported to, have fatty told
Gov. Tawes of Maryland, who
wanted to take an unin-
structed delegation to the
party's national convention
in Los Angeles, pretty much
the same thing. These Gov
ernors do not relish the idea
of having more or less bitter
party struggles in their own
States.
Another line of criticism
also is developing. The charge
is made that very large
amounts of money are being
expended in this Nationwide
Kennedy drive-money which
none of the other announced
or unannounced candidates
for the nomination can pos
sibly afford. Senator Ken

things, flies about the coun-
try in his own family air.
plane, purchased by the Ken
nedyS for some $275,000.
Criticism or no. criticism,
however, Senator Kennedy is
playing a bold game. Indeed,
it is a game into which he
has practically been forced
because of the need to show
that he has voting strength
which he hopes to develop in
eight or nine primary States
reaching clear across the
continent.
Needs Early Strength
Also Senator Kennedy is
well aware that some of the
old pros in the Democratic
Party, if they favor other
candidates, will not hesitate
to cut his throat if they can
in the national convention.
So he has been forced to
work hard at lining up dele
gates in States which have
no presidential primaries. 1t
has been evident for some
time that the struggle for the
Democratic presidential NOM
ination is not going to be
conducted with only sweet
ness and light as the guiding
rules. There is a lot of in
fighting going on, and Sena-
tor Kennedy cannot afford to
keep out of it.

who say they think the Sen
ator should focus his attacks
on the stump and in press
conferences only on the Re
publicans and that he should
