WASHINGTON R - The Sen ate formally expressed it's pro found sorrow and deep regret to- day over the death Saturday of Sen. Estes Kefauver and quickly adjourned as a mark of respect to his memory.

Treasury Secretary
 Dillon Recommends S11 Billion Tax Cut

WASHINGTON (R - Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon put before the House Ways and Means Committee today a proposal for an S11 billion tax cut in two steps beginning Jan. 1.
 Individual tax rat es would range from IA per cent on the first $500 of income to a 70 per cent top. The present range is 20 on the first S2,00O to top of 9l.
 Corporate income taxes would be reduced from the present 52 per cent to 48 per cent.
 Dillon's proposals were present. ed at closed meeting of the com mittee Dillon declined to tell neWsmen about them, but other sources filed in some details.
 Since tax revisions already ap- proved by the committee and eX- pected to be approved would re- suit in an increase of something over $1 billion a year in revenue, the net effect if the Treasury prepared rate schedules were ac- cepted would be a reduction of something between S9 billion and $10 billion when the new provi- sions are fully effective.
 The committee is nearing the end of it's work on tax bill that is expected to go to the House for consideration early in Septem- Der.

Rep. Charles Halleck, House Minority Leader Backed as Standard Bearer

WASHINGTON LR - Colleagues of Rep. Charles A. Halleck of h. diana have quietly and informally launched an effort to win the l964 Republican presidential nomina- ton for the House Minority Lead CT.
 They sounded out some top Re- publican leaders and report a fla vorable reaction.
 Halleck himself would not com ment, but persons close to him said he is doing nothing to nip the move. They represent him as being "available" for the nomina- ton and ready to make a fight for it if victory should appear within reach.
 The Halleck packers claim that of all the Republicans who have been mentioned as presidential possibilities, the tough talking, hard-hitting 63-year-old Hoosier is among the most widely known nationally. His position as House COP leader and as one of the stars of the weekly 'Ev and Charlie Show" sponsored for broadcast by congressional Republicans have kept him in the public eye.

Alaska Will Enforce Own Laws Keeping Foreign
 Fishing Boats at Distance

JUNEAU LR - Gov. William A. Egan said today that an emergency regulation issued Saturday by the State Fish and Game Department came as a result of acknowledge ment by the State Department that Alaska is empowered to enforce her own laws when violated by foreign fishermen.
 Egan said that in answer to two strong telegrams he had sent to federal officials after reported in cursions by Japanese and Russian ships into Alaska territorial wat CTS, the State Department admit ted there is only limited equip ment for patrolling a large area, but reminded the states that it has authority to prosecute violations of Alaska regulations.
 The governor said that it had been ruled earlier that foreign na- tionals could not be denied fish ing licenses because of their na- tionality, but the new regulations prohibit aliens mot lawfully ad- mitted to the United States from engaging in fishing or whaling activities"
 Egan described the order as a necessary legal prerequisite to direct action by the state to pre- serve its sovereignty"
 Violation of the new emergency regulations would carry with it a penalty of a fine up to S5,000 and/or six months Imprisonment as well as seizure of gear and yes Sel

Rusk Testifies
 For Test Treaty

WASHINGTON tR - Secretary of State Dean Rusk said today the United States will maintain "very large nuclear superiority" over Soviet Russia if the Senate rati- fieS the limited nuclear test ban treaty.
 RuSk told senators that Russia, like other nuclear pow has looked into the pit of the infer no," and has a common interest with the United States and Great Britain in putting ''at least a little lid'' on the arms race, and taking a small step toward avoiding "a nuclear war"
 But, Rusk assured members of the Senate Foreign Relations, Armed Services and Joint Atomic Energy Committees tn e treaty banning tests in the atmosphere, under water and outer space is not based on trust of Russia"
 He said that facilities for re- sumption of atmospheric testing will be kept in a constant "state of readiness" in event the Soviets violate the agreement.
 When the hearing was recessed for luncheon, several senators commended Rusk on his state ment. Sen. Richard Russell, D-Ga., said he particularly liked it's tone.
 Republican leader Everett M Dirksen called it "an excellent statement"
 Dirksen later told a reporter that Rusk had satisfied him on the point on whether East Ger many would develop any ad- vanced status by virtue of sign ing the treaty.
 But Dirksen said he wants tc hear military leaders, am n g others, before making up his mind whether to support ratification of the treaty"
 Rusk said: "The United States and the Soviet Union already have enough nuclear power to inflict enormous destruction on ca h other. Still, the search for bigger, more destructive weapons goes on.
 Yet greater armament has not demonstrably brought greater se- curity. The treaty, if observed, should slow this spiral, without damage to our relative strength.

British Police Seek Five Criminals In Connection With Big Train Robbery

LONDON R - An informer's tip sent detectives combing Lon dons sleazy east end today for five criminals reported missing from their homes since history's great est train robbery.
 No arrests were made, but Scot land Yard posted watch at each of the five addresses.
 About 15 masked men halted the Glasgow London mail train Thursday and made off with bags of registered mail worth more than S7 million.
 Police were convinced that most of the gang must still be in Brit ain. The precision with which the gang worked aroused speculation that the master mind was former military man.
 Spurred by reward offers to- taling 260,000 pounds ($720,OOO), hundreds of Britons called police stations, claiming to have infor- nation that might help the police.

Perhaps this is impractical
as each nation experiences q
resurgence of its national
strength and pride. But it is
at least worth trying for.
This becomes doubly i'm
portant when one member Of

a course which may prove
inimical to the others. The
President decided he would
have to speak against Gen.
de Gaulle. Otherwise the
alliance might slowly fade
away.
In this respect. Mr.. Ken

lated risk. He could not know
for sure that our Western
allies would take kindly to
the public break with Gen.
de Gaulle. But they evidently
have done so.
Now the Presidents prob

certain things the companies

The report fell on deaf
ears as a operating union
on the Chicago g. North
Western Railroad went out
on a strike that lasted from
August 80 to September IL,
1862. It received financial
help from outside unions
which, to be sure, refused to
cross picket lines. Finally,
the striking union and the
company responded to an
appeal from the President
and agreed to arbitration.
The battle that has been
going on involves a jockey
ing by the union leaders.
They don't like proposal for
compulsory arbitration and
in emergencies prefer seizure
and operation of the rail-
roads by the Government
while some settlement is
worked out.
The President today has
no power to seize the rail-
roads. Congress would have
to provide it. The same stu
alton arose in 1916 when
President Truman, believing
that he already had author
ity under a wartime statute
that had not yet been re-
pealed, seized the rail prop
critics and ordered them oper-
ated under Government aus
pices. But the unions refused
to work. The President then
asked Congress for further
legislation to require COM
pulsory service through the
military draft. The strike
was called off after it had
lasted 48 hours. Mr.. Truman's
bill, however, passed the
House and was subsequently
amended and passed by the
Senate, too, but the measure
later died in the House Rules

The Nation was this week
given a painful example Of
what could happen to "inno-
cent bystanders." Even the
mere threat of a country
wide railroad strike caused
many a business to begin
expensive preparations to
enable commerce to continue
to flow. Five labor unions,
each nationally organized,
may today use their monop-
oily power over a whole in
dustry to shut off rail traf-
fic and thereby demoralize
passenger and freight service
from coast to coast.
The railroad companies
themselves, however, cannot
function as a private mo-
nopoly. Two companies are
not allowed to merge, even
when one is on the verge Of
bankruptcy, unless permits
sion is granted by q Federal
Government agency.
Yet one railroad union
doesn't require the slightest
authority from the Govern
rnent to close down the in
dustry and impair the in
yestments of millions of in
dividual or institutional
stockholders. Property thus
can be destroyed at will by
a private monopoly of union
members.
Plainly, the sentiment so
often expressed in dilemmas
Of this kind that "there
ought to be a law" Is ig-
nored in Congress and by
the President. For to do
anything to antagonize labor
is considered politically dan
gerous. This is because all
unions join in a political
campaign against any adj
ministration that refuses to
do their bidding.
The issues in the current
controversy between the rail-
road unions and the COM
panies have been thoroughly
debated and have been
argued in collective-bargain-
ing conferences for four
years. In fact, President Eli
senhower appointed a COM

Union Power to Halt Railroads

the right of Congress to leg
islate under the clause which
gives it authority Ito regu-
late interstate commerce.
There have been tirneS-dur-
ing war periods, for instance
when Congress has enacted
legislation not only to con-
troll strikes but also to fix
wages and prices. But no
such law exists today.
The labor unions, of course,
operate under broad grants
Of authority to organize for
collective bargaining. The
Taft Hartley Act covers all
unions except those of the
transportation industries,
whose labor relations are spe-
officially regulated by the
Railway Labor Act-a statute
which antedates the Taft
Hartley law by many years.
But nothing in either law
prohibits monopoly power
among unions such as has
long been forbidden In the
case of businessmen ever
since the Sherman anti
trust law was passesd in
1890. 1t has been reaffirmed
in many statutes since.
President Kennedy's latest
proposal to both sides to let
Justice Arthur Goldberg of
the Supreme Court act as an
arbitrator in the current dis
pute, while the unions and
companies 60 on operating,
is in principle at variance
with the unions previous
position against compulsory
arbitration. They have felt
all along that arbitration by
Government might not be
fair to them. But the adj
ministration reasoned that
they could hardly say this
about Justice Goldberg, who
was formerly special counsel
for the AFL-CIO, as well as
counsel for the steelworkers'
union, and until recently
Secretary Of Labor in Mr..
Kennedy's C binet. That's
why official Washington
hoped for an acceptance of
the proposal by both sides,
but union leaders preferred
some other way.
But even a temporary
avoidance of a strike leaves
untouched the main issue

union at any time to tie up

country indefinitely and seri-
ously damage the pocketbooks
