on the timing of such a cutoff.
Mr.. Farmer said he believed
there should be a definite cut
off date, such as June 80, 1864,
for any school district which
failed to integrate. He added
that he would be willing to

man Dent, Democrat of Penn
sylvania, that school boards
would have to submit desegre-
alton plans by June, 1864, but
would be given until 1865 to
put the plans into operation.
Mr.. Farmer nevertheless in
sisted that any Federal assist
ance cutoff provision in a con-
gressional bill should be man
datory and that the main deci-
sion should be left to Federal
authorities rather than to
State or local school officials.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT
MarshaII's aIent Tested

on learning Mr.. Marshall was
not a graduate Of Harvard.
Did Mr.. Marshall aspire to
be a Federal judge, as his pred
ecessor now is, he wanted to
know.
Mr.. Marshall denied such
aspiration.
Senator Thurmond then
read a story from q San An
tonic paper which recounted
that the head of the city's So
cial security division had told
a columnist that all vacancies
in his office would be filled by
Negroes.
Are you interested in the
rights of white people or Just
of Negroes?" the Senator
asked.
1--WE are interested in the
rights of all people," said Mr..
Marshall quietly.
Senator Thurmond read
from his clipping the news
that a Veterans Administra-
ton head in San Antonio had
also told a reporter that "a
verbal order to fill vacancies
with Negroes had come from
Washington"
Mr.. Marshall said he did not
believe any such order had ever
been issued, and Senator Thur
mond said he didn't care what
Mr.. Marshall believed.
Differ on 1883 Ruling
Senator Thurmond told Mr..
Marshall he didn't see why a
public accommodations law
which had been ruled out by
the Supreme Court in 1888
would pass the test in 1868.
Il think the situation is diff
ferent," said Mr.. Marshall.
you feel the Constitution
is not modern enough, you feel
1t is outdated?" asked Senator
Thurmond.
Il think the facts are diff
ferent now and the Constitu-
ton is a viable document"
said Mr.. Marshall.
THE Constitution has not
changed" said Senator Thur
mond.
THE country has changed"
insisted Mr.. Marshall.
Obviously the Kennedy Civil
Rights bill is going to move
slowly through the Senate.

The teri OF a statement
read BY President Kennedy
to representatives OF the rail-
roads and operating unions
at the White House today
tollotDS:
/ have been advised by the
Secretary Of Labor and the
parties to the current railroad
controversy that this dispute
remains unresolved; that the
carriers have served notice
that they will put certain rules
changes into operation, effec-
tive as of midnight tomorrow
night; and that the unions
have served notice that they
will strike If this is done. In
short, this Nation faces wide
spread economic disruption,
dislocation and distress unless
this dispute is settled by other
means.
I continue to believe that
this controversy can and should
be settled by voluntary and
peaceful processes.
1t is essential that the par
ticular issues in dispute be re-
solved. 1t is equally important
that the freedom of collective
bargaining be preserved.
1t is obvious that the parties
cannot reach agreement on the
specific terms of settlement
before the deadline which has
now been set for midnight to-
morrow. They can, however,
agree voluntarily on a proce-
dure for reconciling these diff
ferences.
Pan Am Pact Cited
Yesterday the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, largest of the
unions representing rail and
airline employees. entered into
a voluntary agreemet with Pan
American World Always to
submit to binding arbitration
all disputes which cannot b
settled by the full processes of
negotiation, convinced that they
can resort to voluntary refer
raj to a system of impartial ad-
Indication rather than economic
warfare without weakening COL
lective bargaining"
The operating brotherhoodS
and the railway carriers are
equally free to avail themselves
of similar voluntary settlement
procedures. Such procedures are
not substitutes for collective
bargaining: they are part of
such bargaining, to be used
when the possibilities of nego-
tiation have been exhausted.
It must be made clear, in this
connection, that there has been
no proposal for arbitration at
any point in this case by any
Government representative or
board except after every effort
has been made to get the parties
to agree on specific settlement
terms. These arbitration pro-

use of a Supreme Court Justice
for outside duties has been
and should be reserved for
extraordinary situations-such
as the Nuremberg Trials and
the Pearl Harbor inquiry"
This situation is extraordi-
nary" he said. I'm terms of
its impact on collective bar
gaining, its relationship to the
whole problem Of chronological
unemployment and the poten-
tial effects Of a Nationwide
rail strike on our economy, our
defense effort and our citi-
zenry."
Mr.. Kennedy said Justice
Goldberg has previously made
clear his intention to disqualify
himself from any decisions
coming before the court which
may arise out Of this dispute. "
The President said the Ma
ton faces widespread economic
disruption, dislocation and dis
tress unless this dispute is set
tied" without a strike.
He said negotiated agree
ments are infinitely superior
TO arbitration" but, he con-
tinued, where private parties
cannot negotiate successfully,
arbitration is infinitely superior
to a shutdown over a period OF
a vital segment Of the Nations
economy"
Voluntary agreement to sub
NIT a labor dispute to arbitra-
ton Is not a substitute for COL
lective bargaining, the Presi-
dent said, but rather is q part
of such bargaining, to be used
when the possibilities Of nego-
tiation have been exhausted"
Not Part Of Design
The proposal for arbitration,
he said, is not part Of a de
sign" by the Government, but
rather results SOLELY from pri-
vate failure or refusal or in
ability to agree"
Mr.. Kennedy's statement did
not refer TO the prospect of
emergency antistrike legisla-
ton, probably compelling the
parties to arbitrate, II his plan
Is rejected.
Mr.. Kennedy said acceptance
OF his plan would require with
drawal Of the rules change
notice by the railroads and the
strike calls by the unions.

Goldberg was asked last night

stroy his standing as a neutral

dent Kennedy then appointed
an emergency board under the
Railway Labor Act to make rec

on this basis made no progress
either.
Would Be Binding
Recommendations of the
commission and the board were
not binding, but Mr.. Gold
berg's decisions would bind
both parties.
Offhand, available court at
taches could not recall a pre-
viouS case in which a Supreme
Court justice has been pro-
posed as grand arbiter in a
labor dispute.
However, as Mr.. Kennedy
indicated. justices have been
tapped for big extracurricular
jobs before.
For example, President Tru-
man gave the late Justice Rob-
ert H. Jackson a temporary
assignment as chief American
prosecutor Of top Nazi war
criminals at the 1945 Nrirem-
berg trials.
