Railroads Under More Pressure To Postpone Work Rule Changes He said that he honed all par ties involved in the dispute would "act reasonably to keep the sta tus quo." Similar appeals were voiced Tuesday by House Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans field, Mont., and House Republi can Leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind. Meany, in a letter to the con gressional leaders of both parties, suggested that the House and Senate adopt a resolution urging the railroads and rail unions to maintain present working condi tions for 30 days. The AFL-CIO president said Congress could not complete ac tion on the railroad measure by Tuesday and its consideration "of this vital subject should take place free from the pressures and strains that would be en gendered by a shutdown." could trigger a nationwide strike at midnight Monday.

MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Demo cratic and Republican governors all shouted victory claims today in appraising the outcome of the Dartisan civil rights contest which ' Vnt th nnniiul pni'ftmnn' mil. ference boiling for three days. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, who led the outnum bered Republicans in their cam paign, claimed a victory because the final product was similar to the proposal he submitted month ago. But it was a Democratic pro posal which was approved Tues day by a 38 to 3 vote with only three Southerners dissenting. Three Dixie governors were re corded for it and five were ab sent. There was little doubt, how ever, that the heat generated by Rockefeller had resulted in ap proval of the compromise plan in structing the conference execu tive committee to give "top pri ority" to civil rights in the com ing year. It also appeared to have warmed his presidential hopes considerably. Meeting Ends Today The 55th annual governors' meeting ends today after two! more business sessions which may cause an anti-climactic argu ment over more Republican civil rights proposals. These were re ported coming in a minority re port from the Public Welfare Committee in the form of de mands that federal aid be with held from states permitting ra cial discrimination in state-federal programs. Election of a new chairman was also on today's agenda with the job going to a Republican under the traditional rotation between the parties. Gov. Robert E. Sniy lie of Idaho was understood to be the probable choice. After Tuesday's round of roll call votes revolving around the civil rights issue, the governors adjourned for their black-tie stzte dinner at which Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was the prin cipal speaker. Appeals To Governors He appealed to the governors to help find a nonpartisan solu tion to the civil rights issue and said there could be no Democrat ic or Republican answer, no White House or state house an swer "but only a responsible, ail-American answer." Johnson said the foremost chal lenge facing the nation was in equality for Negroes. The only in terruption for applause came when he said it was "wrong that tax-paying, arms-bearing, vote- casting Americans" should pot needs to be, tackled now because have equal access to hotels, res- there are "favoring winds" blow-' taurants, schools and jobs. ing in the United States, bptg So He said the civil rights issue foreign and domestic affairs."? ;; Wed., July 24, 1963 The Newi-Revitw, Ko.sbure, Or; f - FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL-- 1 1 6:00 to 9:00 I?
