Midnight Tieup
PostpOnement
Sill Possible
Both Sides Indicate
They Would Listen
To Any New Plan
By LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

Railroad union leaders today
rejected President Kennedy's
proposal to prevent a Nation
wide strike at midnight tonight.
The President worked against
time to develop another peace
plan.
The union rundown made q
strike almost inevitable, but a
poStponement still was posi-
BILE.
Management accepted the
proposal for arbitration by
Supreme Court Justice Arthur
j. Goldberg, but the union re-
lection killed the plan.
j. E. Wolfe, chief manage
ment negotiator, limited to re-
porters that the railroads might
comply with q request by the
President to delay the show
down. There was no indication
whether the President planned
to make such q request.
Timing Of strike depends
on management. The railroads
have announced they intend to
put new work rules into effect
at 1901 am. tomorrow and
the five unions, representing
100000 employees who operate
the trains have said they will
strike when that happens.
Negotiators Stand BY
Union and management ne
gotiators remained on 30
minute call for q possible
afternoon meeting with the
President to hear further sug-
gestions for avoiding a strike.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger told reporters
shortly after noon that the
President had not notified the
parties whether he wanted to
hold a second meeting.
Mr.. Salinger said the Presi-
dent was meeting with persons
lin the Government but he
would not identity them. They
presumably included congress
sional leaders. who would be
consulted about anti-strike leg
islation.
Others present at the meet
ing included Labor Secretary
Writ and Assistant Secretary
Of Labor James ]. Reynolds.
Mr.. SaIinger said union
and management representa-
tives were not at the late
morning meeting.
Mr. Wolfe said he was
reasonable certain" the Presi-
dent would make q new sug-
gestion for preventing q strike.
But, Mr.. Wolfe said, the new
work rules will go into effect
on schedule unless something
transpires between now and
1901 tomorrow.
Cooperation Pledged
Mr.. Wolfe had said pre-
viously that the railroads will
not delay a showdown unless
a settlement is guaranteed in
advance.
But he was not so emphatic
in talking to reporters after
today's meeting with the Presi-
dent and the unions.
Asked whether he would
postpone imposition of the
rules. if the President so re-
quested, Mr.. Wolfe said it is
''the patriotic duty Of the rail-

spokesman said. HE performs
a safety function"
H. E. Gilbert, president OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, says
100 train crewmen were killed
in accidents in q recent year.
On most work rule points, q
presidential railroad commits
sion reported to President Ken
needy in February, 1862, that it
agreed with the management
position. The commission stud
led railroad operating practices
for Is months.
Simon H. Rifkind, a former
Federal Judge who headed the
commission, was emphatic
about firemen, holding they no
longer we're needed.
"Of that I'm certain. I went
out and saw for myself" Mr..
Rifkind told newsmen.
Dismissal Pay Suggested
The commission recon-
mended a halt in hiring of
firemen for freight and yard
service duty, dismissal within
a year Of $4,000 firemen with
less than 10 years service and
release by attrition-death, re-
tirement and the like-of IT,
900 others.
Displaced firemen would get
dismissal pay of up to so per
cent of regular checks for up
to 36 months, preference in
rehiring and two years of re-
training at railroad expense.
Mr. Gilbert rejected the COM
mission report as harsh, in
humane and retrogressive."
He aSSailed q recommended
ton for arbitration of conflict
over changes in sizes Of train
crews.
You can submit working
conditions to binding arbitra-
ton sometimes" he said, "but
you don't submit the life and
death Of jobs"

on that part OF the President s
civil rights program, Mr.. Rusk
said:
1.-THE nom white diplomat Of
ten prefers to keep within the
confines of the District of Col
umbia, knowing that restau-
rants, swimming pools, beaches,
theaters, and other establish
ments in large part of the
United States are potential
places Of trouble. If he wants
ito make a trip he frequently
seeks the assistance of the De-
rartment of State in order to
avoid embarrassment"
Sees Improvement Here
Even in Washington there
are still some problems in con-
nection with housing, he testi-
fled. But in answer to Chair
man Magnuson, Democrat of
Washington, the Secretary said
there has been some improve
ment in the District housing
problem in the last year or two.
He said some Of the real estate
dealers and other businessmen
have tried to be helpful, land
we have been making some
Roadway on that"
Rusk Is Applauded
AS Secretary Rusk was leav-
ling the stand, Senator Pastore,
Democrat of Rhode Island, told
him he had been zone of the
most effective witnesses ever to
appear before this committee.
This brought an outburst OF
applause from the several hun
dred spectators who filled the
Senate caucus room.

The Secretary said that in

OF win dt end
for Pointers
BY KEN ERNST
Chronicle COrrespOndent

The three game win streak of
the Moss Point Tigers came to an
end Friday night at Laurel when
the Golden Tornado walked off
with a 1896 victory.
Both squads had trouble finding
the range of the basket in the
first half of play as only six
field goals were scored on both
sides.
Neither team tailed a field goal
in the first period but Laurel
tossed in five free throws to four
for Moss Point to put the Laurel
club in the lead.
The Tornado managed to out
point the Tigers again in the sec
ond period collected eight points
to the Moss Pointers six and the
score went to 1910 in favor of
Laurel at the half.
The Tigers managed to stay in
the contest in the third period
despite the sharpshooting Of
Laurel guard James Mcdaniel
who hit for five field goals and
ten points, giving the Tornado a
1924 lead as the period ended.
The homeStanding lorna d Q
proved to be too much for Moss
Point in the final period as six
members of the Laurel squad got
into the scoring act to overcome
a last ditch Tiger effort.
Mcdaniel was high point man
for Laurel with 20 while Jim
Shields picked up Is for Moss
Point.
In Bee team action, Moss Point
continued their winning ways with
a 1929 victory.
Laurel piled up a 1913 lead at
the end Of the first period, but
Moss Point came back in the Sec
ond quarter to cut the lead to
1910 at the half.
In the third period Mark Cra-
ven collected seven points to help
put the Tigers into a 26-25 third
quarter lead and David Brese-
mann came on strong in the final
period with a six point scoring ef-
fort to help the Tigers take the
win.
Bresemann was top Tiger scorer
in the Bee event with Is points

Mississippi State appeared en-
route to its third straight South
eastern Conference basketball
title Sunday after co-favorite Ken
tucky was ambuShed by Tennes-
see in the Wildcats own camp.
The Mar0ons, cunning for their
fourth SEC crown in five seasons,
took over lone possession of the
league lead Saturday night by
brushing aside Mississippi 1864
while Tennessee was cunning
down Kentucky 1859 in overtime.
Auburn, 81-78 overtime winner
over Alabama, and Georgia Tech,
70-55 winner over Independent
Florida State, match Mississippi
State in the loss column with a
single defeat each. But the Ma
rooms have beaten both of these
challengers and the pressure is
on them not only to catch up but
to move ahead.
AS the SEC moves into a light
week, with exams in the spot
light, Mississippi State is setting
the pace with Al record; Au-
burn is 81; Georgia Tech 2-1;
and Alabama, Kentucky and Flor
ida are locked in a three-way
battle for fourth place with iden-
tical 80 marks.
Right on their heels. with %
records, are Vanderbilt, Tennes-
see, Louisiana State and Georgia.
At this moment. only Tulane
(O-4) and Mississippi (O-5) are
completely out of the running.
Florida vaulted into a dark
horse role this past week by edg-
ing Alabama in overtime and then
walloping Georgia Saturday night
9O-58. 1t was a disheartening
week for Alabama which led the
