White House Press Secre-
tary Pierre Salinger has de-
scribed the continuing New
York newspaper strike as "in-
tolerable," but some White
House staff members pri-
vately confess they are tenn
porarily enjoying the extra
hours sleep it gives them
each morning.
President Kennedy's we'll
known penchant for early
and thorough perusal of the
newspapers has his staff div
ing for the New York Times
at the crack of dawn, to be
prepared for not-infrequent
early morning phone calls
from the Chief Executive.
"He has a real talent for
spotting some obscure little
item on page 40 of the Times,
and reaching for the phone.
He always assumes you've
seen 1t too. SO you have to be
sure you have" confided one
staff member YEARLY.

Strike Threat
Rises as Rail
Talks Fail

CHICAGO. Mar. IA (AP)-
Possibility Of q union call for
a Nationwide railroad strike.
or quick White House inter-
vention. arose today after the
collapse Of railroad-union ne
gotiations on the "featherbed-
ding" issue.
Just 90 minutes after yester-
days bargaining session
opened. q conference Of repre-
sentatives Of the five operating
labor unions and the railroads
broke down.
H. e. Gilbert, president Of the
Brotherhood Of Firemen and
Enginemen, said the carrier
representatives walked out Of
the meeting.
Ready 70 Negotiate
I'VE did not leave the bar
gaining table" he sad. They
did. We are ready TO negotiate
whenever the railroads make
up their minds 10 engage in
true collective bargaining"
I'VE went into the conference
with the hope that the car
riers would be willing to bar
gain honestly" he said. I'VE
found they wouldn't"
James E. Wolfe, chief man
agement negotiator, said: II
don't think that anybody
walked out. We told them we
were disappointed and that we
thought they were sailing"
Mr.. Wolfe announced that
the railroads win act as soon
as possible to make sweeping
changes In the work rules to
eliminate what they call feath-
EMBEDDING. The carriers first
notified the unions Of the
changes In 1859.
The unions, representing
100000 members, have stated
that such action would trigger
q strike.
Won't Predict Action
Mr.. Gilbert would not say
fatty that adoption Of sweep
ing rules changes would bring
q walkout. "We1l know what
to do II the railroads put the
rules changes into effect" he
said.
Mr.. Wolfe said the breakoff
in negotiations, the third,
should lead to q faet-finding
board appointed by President
Kennedy, which would delay
any strike for at least so days.
At stake are 5000 Jobs and
$500 million q year.
The two sides appeared TO be
separated on ground rules.

Papers Make
Offer 10 Guild

NEW YORK. Mar. IA (APl
Talks between publishers and
the non-striking AFL-CIO New
York Newspaper Guild ended
today with indications eight
newspapers would not resume
publication before Tuesday at
the earliest. The newspapers
have been shut down for 81
days.
The publishers offered the
Guild q money package and
other considerations to extend
its contract expiration date TO
coincide with that Of nine
other newspaper unions.
Final Guild action on the
proposal is not scheduled untfi
Monday.
Meanwhile AFL-CIO Stereo-
typers. one Of three striking
unions, followed the printers
in coming to tentative terms
with the publishers. Striking
mailers have yet to reach agree
ment.
The publishers presented
their offer to the Guild during
an all-night session with Mayor
Robert r, Wagner serving as
mediator.
Thomas ]. Murphy, execu-
tive vice president Of the New
York Guild. said the publishers
made q money offer Of t4.is a
week for the common expira-
ton date = approximately five
months. The present two-year
contract expires October 81,
1854.
Details Of the other ccnsid.
erations were not disclosed Inn
lnediately.
Mr.. Murphy said Guild Off
cials would meet tomorrow to
decide whether to recommend
the publishers offer to the
membership.
Guild units Of struck news
papers would meet at various
times on Sunday and Monday
&c consider the question.
Mr.. Murphy declined to say
how the Guild schedule Of
meetings might affect the re-
publication date.
Members OF Local No. 8,
AFL-CIO International Typo
graphical Union. which called
the strike December 8, are
scheduled 10 meet Sunday on
ratification of terms reached
by their negotiators.
One Of the terms of the ten
tative agreement by the print
ers was that the contracts Of
all newspaper unions have q
common expiration date.
The publishers offer TO the
Guild was intended TO redress
any disadvantage the guild
might suffer in extending its
contract.
The Guild last october ac-
eepted an average package In
crease Of $3.50 q week. The
additional s4.i3 a week in
crease would go into effect
when the current contract ex-
pires. The present top mini
mum on various newspapers
ranges from Si6o 10 Sl73.50 q
week.
Publishers offered the print
ers q two-year package OF
about $3.50 a week, among
other benefits. Their basic pre-
strike pay was Sl4b q week.

retired quietly.

The kids Of Jaipur crowded
the fence around the field.
When the match ended, they
mobbed the pavilion, grim

Sen. Gruening Concerned To Solve Problems
 Of Gold Mining Industry

WASHINGTON R- 'If we can put a man in orbit and send a man to the moon as we hope to do soon, we certainly should be able to solve the problems of the gold mining industry" Sen. Ernest Gruening said yesterday.
 A government fixed price and rising production costs soon will lead to extinction of the industry. he added.
 His remarks were made while presiding at Senate Interior sub- committee hearing reviewing the state of the domestic mining in- duStry.
 Gruening said he is writing bankers in this country and abroad to obtain information and recom- mendations for approaching prob lems of the shrinking gold mining industry.
 He urged John M. Kelly, Assist ant Secretary of the Interior for Mineral Resources, to get together with Treasury Department repre- sentatives to explore industrial and other aspects" of the gold mining industry.
 Kelly told the committee the mining industry followed the pat ern of general industrial produc- tion, climbing from low in Jan uary last year to a high plateau in the fall, but declining slightly at the close of the year.
 He said that in the next 10 years the United States should not suffer any serious minerals short ages unless war or other overseas developments curtail imports of critical commodities.
 The long term output, he said, points to the need for and import ance of continuous dynamic re- search program at all levels of technology, including programs of the Geological Survey and the Bu- reau of Mines.
 "One may predict that our ex- banding science will find a use for every mineral of the earth's crust" Kelly said.

US. Surveillance of
 Cuba Has Been Curtailed

MIAMI, Fla. R - US. sur veillance of Soviet military acti- vity in Cuba has been curtailed and an intelligence gap is develop ing, the Miami Herald said yes terday.
 In dispatch from Washington. the Herald cited three instances of decreased intelligence-g gather ing:
 l. Low-level recon issance flights have been suspended since Feb. g.
 2. High-level U-2 reconnaissance flights are being kept at a mini mum.
 3. Anti-Castro guerrilla reports are being stifled by the US. c k down on American-based raids against Cuba.
 Military leaders in Washington were described as upset over three developments in Cuba about which they feel they have insufficient information
 l. The appearance of large number of Russian tents, some of them big enough to enclose a mis- sile and it's launcher.
 2. Heavy transport traffic to and from areas where large caves are known. Cuba exiles have long maintained that the Russians are hiding missiles in Cuba's numerous caves.
 3. Construction of rail line line to a major Soviet camp area.
 The newspaper said the slow down in intelligence gathering is the result of what it called Presi- dent Kennedy's determination that nothing be done to rock the boat in Cuba.

$24,295,372 from the figure appro- priated for fiscal 1864.
 It is true, however, that the states revenue estimates have been on the conservative side, for the most part.
 When the 1862 legislature went home, it's Joint Finance Commit tee prepared figures, based on state revenue projections, showing that the general fund balance as of this coming June 30 would be $3, 1864, ,781.
 Based on revised estimates hand ed to the legislature this year, which took into consideration in- creased tax and oil and gas lease income during the first six months of the fiscal year, that figure bal looned to $25, 3,559.
 That could be the blueprint for 1864.
 If it isn't, the next legislature is going to have long, hard spring.

Legislature Will Have Big Headache In Store for '64
By Ward Sims
associated Press Staff Writer

JUNEAU LH - The legislature is going to have to do some painful soul-searching next year." That was the comment of one state official Thursday in the wake of an oil and gas lease sale on tide and submerged lands in Cook Inlet which brought in $4,137, ,027 in bonus money.
 The state had predicted that the sale would net S10 million in bonus money.
 It should be pointed out, how ever, that the estimate was based on the sale of oil and gas leases on some 346,000 acres of lands in Cook Inlet.
 Prior to the sale, the state, at the insistence of the Bureau of Land Management, withdrew some 18O.0O0 acres of choice lands claim ed both by Alaska and the federal government.
 While state officials were re- luctant to be quoted by name in the absence of Gov. Wm. Egan, who is on a speaking trip to De- troit, 1t was obvious Wednesdays bonus total came as a distinct dis appointment.
 Insofar as state finances are con- cerned, what does the sale mean?
 It means that the state will wind up fiscal 1864, starting next July l, with only a few dollars showing as a balance in the basic general fund, rather than $6,077 ,2O1 under revenue estimates prepared in February.
 It means that the 1864 legisla- ture, in budgeting for fiscal 1865, is going to have to reduce state expenditures sharply or raise taxes-in an election year.
 After adjustments for revised federal lease receipts income, the estimated general fund balance was begged at $25,733, ,559 as of June 30 of this year, the end of fiscal 1863.
 Supplemental appropriation bills passed by the legislature cut this estimated balance to $21 1,820,016, although some of the supplementals are not effective until fiscal 1864 With an estimated balance of $21 ,820,016 and estimated revenues of only $763,353,915 during fiscal 1864, the legislature passed, and Egan approved, fiscal 1864 ap- prOpriations bill calling for a general fund expenditure of S79,O96,73O.
 Based on estimated revenues for the year, it amounted to $79,O96,- 730 diet on $63, ,353,915 income
 This still left an estimated $6,- O76,2O1 balance in the general fund for use during fiscal 1865, barring the passage of any supplementals by the 1864 legislature and based on current revenue estimates, in- cluding general fund income of $54, 1887, 40 during fiscal 1865.
 Then came Wednesdays sale.
 The $6,077, POI, based on current revenue estimates, suddenly melted away to a mere $214,228.
 Based on current revenue esti- mates, including that for fiscal 1865, it means that the fiscal 1865 budget, to balance general fund expenditures with predicted in- come, Is going to have to be cut
