Firemen at Issue
The key issue is the rail-
roads proposal to eliminate the
approximately $1,000 firemen
now on freight and yard die

Mr.. Writ based his proposal
on recommendations of a presi-
Dental board earlier this year.
The board said generally that
the railroads should have au-
thority to eliminate the fire
men gradually, subject to in
dividual decisions on firemen's
jobs claimed as necessary by
the unions.
Under the Writ plan, this
recommendation would be &C.
copied as the basis for a gen.
eral rule to be effective two
years. Details would be worked
out in 20 days of negotiations.
Any issues not settled in these
negotiations would be decided
finally by Assistant Secretary
James j. Reynolds.
During the two-year trial, a
labor-management board would
recommend permanent rules on
firemen. Failing unanimous
agreement. the board would call

To High Church Post

woman educator, daughter of
a slave, has been elected the
first Negro assistant moderator
of the United Church of Christ.

worship creed and conduct of
the church into cordial agree
ment and keep them in balance
are, Of course, a shot in the
arm for me as I assume a two
year responsibility as assistant
moderator"
1.-THE spontaneity with which
the proposed actions were re-
ceived," she said, makes all of
the officers secure; and most
particularly their adoption will
permit me to say any time or
anywhere that since the Gen.
eral Synod Of the United
Church of Christ has spoken
these words. I am happy to
stand behind them"
Mrs. johnson is q daughter

In Fairfax Air
Mutual Views
BY BRIAN KELLY
Star Staff Writer

Six compliment swapping
Democratic candidates from
Fairfax County appeared at q
Falls Church coffee clatch
yesterday with all the airs of q
winning slate.
State Senate aspirant Rob-
ert Fitzgerald said he found
himself in close agreement with
fellow Senate candidate Homer
L. Hirst on a number of poll
tical issues.
Mrs. Dorothy McDiarmid, the
former Delegate seeking a
chance to return to Virginia s
House, praised Mr.. Hirst. Guy
Farley, another House candi-
date, said If he were an ordi-
nary voter he would cast his
BALLOT in Tuesdays Demo-
cratic primary for Mr.. Hirst.
In addition, Ralph Louk, the
incumbent commemorative at
torney who is unopposed fol-
his party's nomination to the
same post, said he supports a
ticket comprised of all four,
plus John L. Scott, the third
Democratic candidate for a
Fairfax-Falls Church House
seat.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, former COM
monwealth's attorney, and Mr..
Hirst, a Delegate for six years,
are opposed in the primary
Senate race by William G..
Downey and John K. Lally,
who were not at the coffee"
in the home Of Mrs. Martha
Corley, 703 Jenkins lane.
The two Senate Saspirants
who were present agreed that
public schools in Prince Edward
County, Va. should be reopened
through legislation by the
General Assembly if neces-
sary.
They agreed also that Vir-
ginia's tuition grant program
should be continued as a
"relief-valve" in a period of
adjustment between whites
and Negroes and that the
States poll tax should be re-
placed by a more equitable
voter registration system.
The three candidates for the
House Of Delegates are un-
opposed in their bid for NOM
ination Tuesday. Indications

To avoid the need for legis-

United States officials, while
conceding that containment of
the Communist bridgehead is
not going to be easy, maintain
that more is being done than

moves to further isolate Cuba

would be undertaken by both
the United States and the GAS,
but he declined to be specific.
He did say an economic en-
barge is not under considera-
ton because trade between
hemisphere countries and Cuba
is "minuscule" and still drop

Castro himself has softened

Khrushchev Challenged
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
view that communism can be
spread without war strikes at
the heart of the Soviet Chinese
split. Chinese Communist boss
Mao Tze-tung. in openly chal-
longing Mr.. Khrushchev's lead
ership of the Communist world,
sent Mr.. Teng here to press for
q tougher line.
The battle Of the Soviet
Chinese conformation over the
principles laid down by vladi-
mir I. Lenin. founder Of the
Soviet state, could determine
the future Of hundreds Of mil
lions Of persons for years to
come.
Both sides defiantly held
their ground before the confer
ence and Western observers ex-
pect the meeting to end in a
standoff-with both parties
sticking to their own views.
Western diplomatic observers
suspect the Chinese will brush
aside most Soviet arguments
about peaceful co-existence"
with the West and win renew
their demand for a worldwide
conference Of Communist par
ties to settle the issue. The
Russians oppose such a confer
ence now.
Deadlock Likely
With the likelihood of a
deadlock in the Moscow talks,
the Chinese have even dared to
60 directly TO the Soviet people
with their argument.
They distributed leaflets at
lacking Mr.. Khrushchev. As a
result three Chinese diplomats
and two students were expelled
from the Soviet Union last
week. The Russians angrily
fired back at the Chinese
Thursday, accusing them Of
lying, meddling and aggravating
relations.
But animosity was put aside
yesterday when Mr.. Suslov met
the Chinese delegation at Mos
COW Airport. 1t was all smiles
and flowers. Mr.. Suslov and
Mr.. Teng exchanged pleasan-
tries, then left for the talks in
q secret locale.
There were no Soviet news
men or photographers at the
airport. The Russians are de-
liberately playing down the
conference.
