Union Demands
PHILADELPHIA (AP) The
Pennsylvania Railroad today re
jected a "rock-bottom" offer from
the Transport Workers Union to
end a strike which has shut the
nation's largest railroad since
Sept. 1.
"Upon examination, the so
called 'rock-bottom' proposals
made by the striking unions were
found to be nothing more than
proposals made previously by the
unions with slightly different lan
guage." James M. Symes, chair
man of the railroad board, said
in a statement.
Symes said negotiations would
continue.
President Michael .1. Quill of
lhe TWU made the offer for lhe
TWU and lhe System Federation.
Alxmt 20.000 members of these un
ions are on strike.
Neither Quill nor Symes spelled
out specifically what the "rock
bottom" offer involved. Quill said
only that his proposal covered "a
number of important issues," not
just those the company has been
saying are the only ones block-

Issues Complainf
In advance of today's announce-
menl, llammnrskjold was under-
sIoimI lo have complained privately

amount and purpose of Soviet aid
provide;! oulside U. N. channels.
lhe intormal Soviel reply, a bit
reportedly was that they
were merely trying lo help restore
order oul of chaos in cooperation
with the U. N. objective of bring
ing peace to lhe troubled area.
President Kiscnhower, breaking
lhe official administration silence
on the problem, denounced lhe So
viet Union's action Wednesday as
seriously aggravating lhe blood
shed in the new African nation.
The international repercussions,
he said, "would be doubly serious"
if it was found that Soviet military
personnel were piloting the planes
supplied to Premier Patrice Lum
umba's regime.
Administration leaders strnnglv
suspect that some of lhe Soviet
leclmicians who have moved into
the Congo are Soviet military men
in t civilian uniforms. F.isenhower
said, however, that he has no solid
evidence on that yet.
At lhe same time he urged th
Soviet Union "to desist from its
unilateral activities and to lend its
support instead to the practice of
collective effort through lhe Unit
ed Nations" to brine a neaeeful
i solution.
Diplomatic officials, in backing
"P j-'senhowet's remarks, said that
" ",c "s.iiunui- 10 sena
men and equipment the U.N. Se-
curity Council should act to ban
aid by any single nation to the Con
go except through the United Na
lions. At present, the Congo as an in
dependent government is not bar
red from accepting such assist,
ance. Lumumba has repeatedly
said lie would accept direct assist
ance from individual governments
as well as through the United Ka
lions. Stern Words
Kisenhower's stem words set off
reports that this country would con
sider acting alone in the crisis if
the United Nations did not.
But top officials said today the
United States, at present, would
continue to work solely through
the United Nations to preserve tha
Congo's independence.
No thought has been given, they
said, to offering American troops
for duty with the 17,000-man U.NT.
police force now drawn entirely
from smaller U.N. countries.
The government's future course
undoubtedly will depend greatly on
lhe outcome of the slruggle for
power in lhe Congo between Lum
umba and the more moderate
President Joseph Kasavubu.
If Kasavubu wins out, most Ki
senhower administration author
ities would rely on him to control
the Soviets already in the Congo
and turn to the West for balancing
aid. But if Lumumba stays in pow
er and continues to accept Soviet
assistance, the feeling of most of
ficials is that the United Nations
should step in lo ban such supplies.
Some administration authorities,
however, are known to be sufficient
Iv alarmed at what they consider
lhe extent of Soviet penetration of
the Congo that they would favor di
rect intervention by lhe American
government unless the United Na
tions acted swiftly.
