Rail Talks
Focus on
Crew Size
BY the Associated Press

Railroad and labor negotia-
tons focus today on one Of
the two main issues of their
dispute-the size of train crews.
The issue principally involves
brakemen and switchmen. The
railroads contend there are too
many men on some crews and
want the right to determine
their size. The unions have OPP
posed this.
While representatives Of the
carriers and of the train crew
unions are hashing over their
problem, Secretary Of Labor
Wirtz plans to confer with
union spokesman for the engine
crews - the firemen and en-
gineers.
The engine crews figure in
the other big issues-the rail-
roads plan to eliminate the
jobs Of some 10000 firemen.
Assistant Secretary Of Labor
James ]. Reynolds disclosed
yesterday that the carriers have
declined to meet with the rep.
resentatives Of the firemen's
union because they questioned
the authority Of the firemen's
negotiating committee to make
a binding settlement.
1t was because Of this, said
Mr.. Reynolds, that the 1856 gen.
eral chairmen of the AFL-CIO
Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen were
summoned from around the
country to meet here next
Tuesday.
The chairmen have the au-
thority to make an agreement
and the carriers contend, Mr.
Reynolds said, that there Is no
point in negotiating until they
are on hand.
Negotiators for most Of the
other unions are authorized To
make q final settlement. One
Of the five unions, however, the
switchmen, must submit any
proposed agreement to q vote
by rank-and-file members.
While the negotiations are In
progress. the Senate and House
Commerce Committees are

Of South Dakota, has placed
the Pentagon on notice that II

preparations for the Tx war
plane unless Congress is sat-
isfied that it is "a weapons

have more than justified his
trip.
Whereas in China's case the
issues and alternatives seem
fairly clear and growing clearer
day by day the issue Of Ger
many is far more involved. AS
Stunning Mr.. Rusk is being
frank, he has probably told
Mr.. Khrush hev that the
United States views his pro-
posal for NATO-W arsaw
Treaty non-aggression pact
with skepticism and that the
chances. Of selling 1t to such
major NATO partners as West
Germany and France are nil.
Certain Khrushchev Subject
Mr.. Khrushchev, in making
his case for the pact, is almost
certain to get the subject
Of the dangers inherent in re-
arming West Germany and the
need to set up effective guar
antees against a recrudenScence
Of German militarism. Above
all he will stress Soviet appre-
hension about giving the
Bundeswehr access to nuclear
warheads under any heading
or arrangement whatever.
The Russians profess in
creasing concern that powerful
forces in West Germany are
plotting to return the nation
to the warpath. Though the
case they make is perhaps ex-
aggerated, some of the evidence
they muster on infiltration of
the Bonn government appara-
tus and diplomatic corps by
ex-Nazis is fairly disturbing.
On this count Premier Khru2
shchev is almost certain to
accuse Americans Of being naive
and letting themselves be
duped by conniving Germans
into aiding their rearmament.
In this context the proposed
non-aggression pact may prove
kind Of a trial balloon designed
TO spur the West into making
some counter proposal on some
form Of guarantees In Central
Europe that would avert any
real or fancied threat Of
German remilitarisation and
permit some degree Of dis
engagement.
To start the ball rolling the
Soviets might well be prepared
to be more reasonable on
Berlin.
These are some Of the items
which are almost certain to
figure in notes Secretary Rusk
takes back to Washington
along with his overall assess
ment Of Mr.. Khrushchev's
sincerity and intentions.

The Senate hurriedly sched-

lions below the actual debt.
Unless Congress acts in time,

billion. BY then the Treasury
expects the national debt to be
more than $307 billion.
Yesterday the House passed,
22l to IT'S, a bill to extend the
current temporary 5000 billion

Republicans tried unsuccess-
fully to hold the limit to $307
billion through October 81.

In turn, this could also have
an adverse effect on pay raise

billion restraint higher this

the three-month extension
while Congress acts on tax-cut

It's generally conceded that
