INTERPRETIVE REPORT

Radicals. He is followed closely
by two top contenders-Dr. Os-
car Alende, candidate Of the
Civic Union of IntranSigent
Radicals (USRD, and retired
Gen. Pedro Aramburu, former
provisional president Of the
post-Peron government.
Electors to Decide
No one Of these candidates
will get the required 81 per cent
majority of the popular vote
required for immediate election.
Therefore the election is thrown
into the National College of
Electors, which meets on July 81 .
But the important thing is
that these electors will choose
the president and vice presi-
dent knowing that a substan-
tial majority of the Argentine
electorate has Endorsed the
elections. There will be much
wrangling between now and
July 31-minority candidates
account for about Is per cent
of the vote. And unlike the
United States electoral college
system, electors are not bound
by the popular vote If no
candidate gets the clear 81
per cent popular vote.
But observers here believe
this bargainin gwill now take
place in an atmosphere relieved
of tension. The die-hard mill
tary leaders who overthrow
Peron in 1855 and ousted Mr.,
Frondizi in 1862 can no longer
use the bogey-man Of Peron-
list popularity to oppose all
democratic processes in Argen-
tina.
Ongania Hailed
The man currently getting
the most applause in this
capital is Gen. Juan Carlos
Ongania, commander-in-
of the army and the CHIEF
military protagonist Of holding
these elections. Since he
fought his way to the top OF
the military last September
he has consistently maintained
that only civilian constitutional
government can rule Argentina
and handle the Peronist prob
lem.
The question Immediately
posed by the election results
| is what will be the Peronist
reaction. After announcing
their revolutionary Austen

Ever hear of San Durham
or read any of his poems?
Janelle Proctor, a graduate
student in English at the Uni

track down information on the
early Alaskan poet and his
works.
Durham, who was IN north
ern Alaska in 1928 with the
department of a b or and in
l899-I900 as a special agent for
the 18th census, wrote extern
sively during his Alaskan ira

U OF A STUDENT NEEDS Information
ABOUT POET SAM Durham FOR THESIS

His verses were published in
m any national newspapers,
such as the New York Sun, the
San Francisco Examiner, and
the Illustrated London News.
He is also the author of a vol
ume of verse entitled ''The
Goldsmith of Nome"
Mrs. Proctor and DR.. Minnie
Wells, chairman of her thesis
committee, hope to unearth
other examples of Dunham's
writing in files of Alaskan
newspapers and in the mem
cries of Alaskan pioneers who
m G h t remember the poets
verses. Durham, who presented
his work "as appeal from the
tax burdened and unrepresent-
ed people of Alaska to the gov
eminent at Washington for the
relief from the wrongs which
they have borne too patiently
for twenty years" Ito quote his
own words), is inevitably of in
terest to those who wish to
collect and preserve as much
of the early history of the state
as possible.

atrial Text Of Kennedys Plan to Avert Rail Strike

FoIlotoiRg Is a partial tert
Of President Kennedy's mes
sage to Congress on the rail-
road situation:
This Nation stands on the
brink Of o Nationwide raj
strike that would, in very
short order, create widespread
economic chaos and distress.
After more than three and
one-half years of CONSTANT but
fruitless attempts to achieve a
peaceful settlement between
the parties through every pri.
vate and public means avail
able, this dispute has reached
the point where only prompt
and effective congressional ac-
ton can assure that serious
injury to the public will be
prevented. ..

this administration has given
careful consideration to the

the needs of the present situa-

been rejected as inconsistent

curity have been rejected a
harmful to the Nation and in
sensitive to the very real issues
posed by the proposed work rule
changes. .l
Seizure Of the railroads has
been rejected as unjustified In
the circumstances Of this case
as creating complex legal and
financial problems for the
Government, and as merely
postponing the day of reckon
ing on more efficient work
rules and their acceptance by
the brotherhoods.
Compulsory arbitration OF
this dispute by q special or
congressional panel has been
rejected as inconsistent with
the principle that solutions
reached through free collective
bargaining should always be
permitted and preferred.
Indefinite extension Of the
status quo for one or both
parties has been rejected as
an evasion Of a serious public,

Unemployment
Level Too HIGH

I would be remiss in my
duty, however. II I failed to
note that this dispute over rail-
road work rules Is part Of q
much broader national prob
lem. Unemployment, whether
created by so-calIed "automa-
ton" by the shift Of industry
to new areas. or by an over
all shortage of market demand
Is a major social burden.
During the past six years the
level Of unemployment has re-
NAMED far too high. Men have
been without jobs and factories
have been without orders, pri-
marily because the overall
level Of market, demand has
fallen short of the Nations
productive capacity. But when
job opportunities are already
scarce, those whom tech
biological progress or industrial
change displace are more likely
than ever to Join the ranks
Of the unemployed than to find
a new Job.
General unemployment is
thus q double burden; as 1t
penalties those without jobs, 1t
also creates fear and resent
ment against the very kind Of
modernization and change
upon which our economic prog
ress must in the long run de-
pend. This is why I have placed
such heavy emphasis upon the
prompt enactment Of my tax
proposals. designed to stimulate
market demand and return the
economy to full employment. :.

In 1915, the Congress set @

pute over hours and wages, the
railroad brotherhoods had Is.

son held q conference with the
parties. When he proposed ar
bitration, the carriers agreed
and the brotherhoods refused.
When he proposed the eight
hour standard Of work and
wages, the brotherhoods agreed
and the carriers refused.
Confronted with the pros
poets Of an early strike, the
President then asked Congress
to enact the eight hour stand
ard as an interim law pending
a further report to the Con-
gress by a special presidential
commission. He pointed out
that he had mo resources at
law for compulsory arbitra-
ton, to save the commercial
disaster, the property injury
and the personal suffering Of
all =. If the strike was not
prevented" The Interstate
Commerce Commission, he
stated, would protect the car
riers through its rate powers
against any undue cost in
creases resulting from this
change.
Congress acted promptly and
effectively: and the Supreme
Court, emphasizing the fact
that the nature Of the railroad
industry required both en-
ployers and employees to defer
to regulation in the public in
terest, held that Congress had
the power to impose a settle
ment binding on both parties
"for q reasonable time, in order
that the clamity may be
averted and that opportunity
may be afforded the contend
ing parties to agree upon and

LEGISLATION

AS noted above, the railroad
eight-hour law Of 1915 pro-
vides a precedent for congress
sional Intervention Of this type
the Interstate Commerce Act
provides a pattern to which
both Congress and the parties
are accustomed.
Recognizing that both rail-
road mergers and their effect
on railroad employment are
deeply affected with the public
interest, Section 5 Of that act
wisely supplements the results
Of private decision-making and
collective bargaining in this
area with the quasi judicial
regulatory powers Of the inde-
pendent Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Proposed mergers must be
passed upon by the commits
sion after due regard to their
effect on public service and
safety, the rights of employees
and other considerations. In its
order of approval the COM
mission includes specific terms
and conditions to protect the
job security Of the employees
involved. The carriers and
brotherhoods remain free to
supersede these employe Sc
curity provisions with their
own collective bargaining
agreement.
The value which railroad and
other unions attribute to this
section was reflected in their
urging that comparable pro-
visions be included in this
years mass transportation bill;
and there are such provisions
In this bill as it passed the
Senate and as 1t was reported
In the House.
There is no reason why these
principles and procedures, II
they are applicable to the en-
ployment security problems
raised by railroad mergers and
mass transit modernization, are
not equally applicable to the
employment security problems
raised by railroad moderniza-
ton and INFLAMMATION.
An expert body should pass
on these proposed rule changes
in the light Of public service
and safety; and 1t should also
make provision TO prevent the
employees from bearing the full
cost Of technical or economic
progress, so long as priority Is
given to agreements privately
reached by the parties them
selves.

Would Preserve
Collective Bargaining

Unlike compulsory arbitra-
ton, this method would pre-
serve and prefer collective bar
gaining and give precedence to
its solutions. But any strike or
lockout designed to impose a
rules change which has not
been approved by the commits
sion or the parties, or to oppose
one which has been approved,
would be subject to the REM
