ducive to the national unity

confronts Republicans and
Democrats alike"
Reports from Havana that
1000 Russians left Cuba last
Friday on a Soviet liner were
described in some official quar-
ters as considerably inflated,
Nobody was providing a firm
estimate but guesses ran in
the neighborhood Of 200 to
400. The Havana dispatches
also said it was impossible to
tell whether the departing Rus
slams were troops, technicians
or civilians.
The administration has es-
timated that the Soviet mil
itary personnel on Cuba num-
bers 1900.
Testimony yesterday that
Navy officials don't know how
many Russians have been
withdrawn from the island
drew a sharp comment from
Senator Russell, Democrat Of
Georgia.
"I'd be less than frank If !
didn't say that the amount Of
hard intelligence from Cuba
has been Disappointing" Sen
ator Russell told reporters.
Korth, Anderson Testify
Senator Russell, chairman Of
the Armed Services Committee,
made his views known after
hearing testimony at a closed
hearing from Secretary Of the
Navy Fred Korth and Admiral
George w. Anderson, chief Of
Naval Operations.
Senator Heating, in his Senate
speech, said there had been no
intelligence gap" last summer
and fall when the Russians
were moving equipment into
Cuba. He said reliable reports
Indicated John A. McCone,
director Of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency. had warned as
early at last August that the
Soviets probably would put
offensive missiles on the island.
I'VE do suffer, however, from
unwillingness of our top Of
! ficials to believe what our in
Itelligence produces, from delib-
crate attempts to gloss over
facts revealed by our intelll-
gence and in some instances
deliberate attempts to suppress
information entirely" Senator
Heating said.
Senator Mansfield said there
had been mo withholding of
intelligence information and no
attempt to make a scapegoat
out Of the intelligence agen-
cies."

NEW YORK, Mar. 5.-Rich-

dent Kennedy can be beaten in
1864, primarily because the New
Frontier has been unable to
deliver on 1860 campaign
promises.
The former Vice President.
however. comedies Mr.. Ken
nedy's popularity. He believes
that the President has DEM
onstrated 'great craftsmanship, /"
but that the product does not
live UP to the promises.
The Republicans have many
issues with which to challenge
Mr.. Kennedy, says his 1860
presidential rival. Unemploy-
ment remains high; Cuba is
worse than ever; the free world
alliances are in disarray. No
matter where one looks, adds
Mr.. Nixon. things are no diff
ferent than in 1860, If not
worse.
Mr.. Nixon, in New York for
q few days, also told friends
he intends TO speak out Wig
orously on public issues and
his statement that he no longer
Is available for elective office
will not still his once powerful
voice. After l6 years in public
life, it is difficult for the for
mer Vice President to remain
silent on public issues.
Mr.. Nixon has not as yet
made up his mind about what
he intends to do to earn a
living. He will probably re-
main in the law field. With a
family to support, including
two teen-aged daughters, Mr..
Nixon has been giving consid-
cradle thought TO his future.
He intends to retain his res
idence in California. However,
he expects to spend at least
one-third Of his time in the
East.
Mr.. Nixon likes New York:
and New York apparently likes
him. Speaking at the Univer-
sity Club last Saturday he out
drew all previous speakers in
Guiding former President Eisen-
hover. Mr.. Nixon's remarks
were off the record; but. friends
say, he never sounded better.

bitrate, but the unions have
refused.
If the unions refuse again,
the President may propose leg
islation compelling them to ar
bitrate. Or he might move to
seize the railroads to keep them
operating.
With these threats facing
them, union and management
negotiators may decide it would
be best to settle on their own.
At about the time the Supreme
Court handed own its decision
yesterday, the negotiators set UP
a meeting for March l3 in Chi
cago.
Although the unions deny re-
ports Of a split, management
leaders claim they see signs of
cracks in the solid front. Man
agement and at least some of
the unionists want to settle the
hottest dispute-concerning use
of firemen on engines-before
tackling other issues.
There has been some specula-
ton that the unions might
strike one or q few railroads
while continuing to work on
other lines. The theory appar-
emily is that the Government
might permit a selective strike,
but would block a Nation
wide work stoppage.
MANAGEMENT contends, how
ever, that a selective strike
would defeat the unions. The
railroads still operating would
put the new rules into effect.
BY working under the new set
up. according to the manage
ment theory, the unions would
give the rules permanent legal
status.
The railroads proposed new
work rules in November, 1859,
and the dispute was submitted
to a presidential commission in
october, 1860. Management ac-
cepted the commissions rec
concentrations in February,
1862, but the unions denounced
the findings. Negotiations since
then have been fruitless.
Would Eliminate Jobs
The commissions recommen-
dations would gradually elm
mate the 10000 firemen now
on diesel engines in freight and
yard service. About $4,000 fire.
men with less than 10 years
seniority would be laid off
within a year. The other $1,000
firemen's Jobs would be elm
mated gradually through re-
tirement and death.
Commission recommendations
also would permit reduction Of
the number Of brakemen,
lengthen mileage travel stand
ards, authorize interchange of
road and yard work, reduce
work hours of some employees
while increasing others, revise
pay formulas, require retire.
ment at age, IS and generally
give management great flexi-
bility in introducing technology
cal changes.
Firemen and others who lost
their jobs because Of technology
would receive substantial finan-
cial help from the railroads
and assistance in retaining.
The five unions represent
about 100000 operating en-
ployes-firemen, trainmen. en-
gineers, conductors and switch
men.

his keys were missing and that
his gun had been in the locker.
Further investigation re-
vealed that George (son Of the
other guard had gone to his
fathers home Friday evening
IN the 400 block Of Lamont
street NV. He had been to the
building at 400 Pennsylvania
avenue NV. earlier and had
spoken to Mr.. Nickens. At his
tather's house he had gotten
Six or seven rounds Of ammuni-
tion and then he and Robert
returned to the office building,
nsing the keys to open the rear
basement door.
He knew about the keys be-
cause he has walked with his
father on tours Of duty before
and he knew where the gun was
because he had seen his father
put 1t in the locker.
Took Fathers Revolver
1.-THE boys said they took one
Of the IA keys, opened the
locker and took the fathers 80
caliber, six-shot revolver from
the top shelf.
George told Robert as they
went downtown he was going
TO shoot a policeman and get
him a gun. Robert didn't want
to go. George pushed the but
ton on the elevator and on the
way up cooked the gun. =
George told police Mr..
Nickens was seated at his desk.

Districts plan by March 80
the District will receive Federal
grants retroactive to the Feb
ruary date.
The Welfare Department will
administer the program, but
the services will actually be
provided by the Health Depart
ment.
The Kerr-Mills Act provides
Federal matching funds for
medical assistance for welfare
clients who are SIS or over,
and also to individuals in this
age bracket who are not on
welfare but whose income falls
below a certain level.
= DR.. Murray Grant, director
of the District Health Depart
ment, said that when the pro-
gram is in full operation here
he hopes to set up several new
medical services for the needy
aged.
Special Clinics
He said these would include
such programs for the aged as
establishment of pediatry elm
les to take care of foot condi-
tons Of the elderly, special in
fluenza vaccination programs,
a special physical examination
service to be set up at the
Southwest health center and a
new home service to provide
special personnel to give medi-
cal care to home-bound aged
patients.
DR.. Grant said that the Dis
trict should be eligible to re-
ceive s753, 900 in Federal funds
next fiscal year under the
Kerr-Mill Act and at least ST.
100000 a year thereafter.
He explained that it will
take some time to become ell.
gible for the maximum in Fed
eral grants because additional
clerical and welfare workers
must be employed to certify
those persons entitled to assist
ance. He added that time will
also be needed to set up the
new programs.

Fate and reliable. He also said
that the networks we're not

thing that congressman find
hard to believe. since they are

remarked dryly that the pro-
gram only comes on three or

Mr.. Collins brought with him
Melvin A. Goldberg. who last
August was brought into the
National Association Of Broad

Representative Springer:
I'VE always come up with the

For while television has

has no corresponding power
