Service met separately with
employer and union repre
sentatives today to try to ar
range a meeting to end a
strike which has crippled
heavy construction work in
Oregon.
Some $275 million worth
of construction projects have

diation commissioner, said it

Slight be scheduled before the
week end.
Rady To Get Together
The Associated General

meeting Wednesday and an
nounced afterwards they were
ready to get together with a
federal conciliator and resume
talks with striking laborers.
Bu( the AGC said in a state-
Vwnt that contractors consid
ered union demands "unrea-
ysxable and unrealistic.
The strike has idled sorrfe
5,000 workers at major high
way and heavy construction
lobs in Oregon, including the
Brownlee and Oxbow dams on
the Oregon side of the Snake
river and the Talent project
in southern Oregon-.
Laborers sought a 30-cent-an-hour
package pay boost.
Meanwhile, the Lumber and
Sawmill Workers Union said
it would not back down from
its original five-point program
calling for a wage increase
this year. The International
Woodworkers of America last

wage hike because of the de
pressed lumber market.
Package Wage Increase ,
- Earl Hartley, Seattle, execu
tive secretary of the Western
.Council of Lumber and Saw
mill .Workers, said the LSW
would stick to its demands.

Sah Francisco The South
ern Pacific railroad's claim
that it is losing $20,000,000 an
nully on passenger train oper
ation was challenged here this
week by the State Public Util
ities commission.
William C. Bricca, senior
PUC counsel, testifying. at a
public hearing, said a PUC in
vestigation has showed that
the SP made $2,800,000 in net
annual income from passen
ger service.
Bricca was quoted in the
San vFrancisco Examiner as
saying the net profit figure
remained after deducting a
$5,400,000 annual loss from
dining, tavern and lounge car
service. If revenues and ex
penses from this service were
eliminated, he stated, the rail
road wduld net $8,200,000-on
passenger service annually.

son, flying a Lockheed F104
Star Fighter, has set a new
world altitude record or 91,
249 feet, nutting the United
States "on the threshold of
space," the Air Force an
nounced today.
Johnson told a press con
ference here that he didn't
"feel like I was , in outer
space."
"But this obviously is a
transition from the - atmos
phere we have known," he
said. "We are on the thresh
old of space a step up the
ladder." . ;
Six Practice Flights ,.: -..!-.,
Johnson, a husky veteran
of the Korean war, flew his
historic mission out of Palm
dale,' Calif., Wednesday, after
six practice flights during
which he approached the
maximum altitude of 90,000
feet . his goal in a "dark
purple" sky.
"I had no particular feel
ing," he said. "I was too busy
thinking how high I could
get." v ... '
The flight in the supersonic
F104, a slim missile-like
manned aircraft, recaptured
the altitude record for the
U.S., more than 17 miles
straight up.

Pacific's Claim of Losing Money on
Runs Challenged by California PUG
Commissioner Matthew J
Dooley, the lawyer said the
investigation report "will
show that , if changes were
made in service and type of
meals served, Southern Pa
cific would provide a free pre
prepared of buffet type meal
free of charge and incur a
smaller loss than they pres
ently do." . . -
The investigation was or
dered more than a year ago
by the PUC on the adequacy
of " SP passenger set vice in
California. . - '
It was triggered by four
railroad applications to dis
continue operation of two
daily San Francisco to Sacra
mento trains, the two west
coast trains running tetween
Sacramento and Los Angeles,
and reducing service on the
Shasta Daylight between here
and Portland, Ore.

same size as the place on the
ballot for a candidate's name,
sloean. box and position num
ber; are being printed to cor
rect an error on nearly lo.oou

Use of the stickers was sug
gested by Freeman Holmer,
head of the state elections di

procedure when there was not
sufficient time to reprint the

cials said.
. The error was made in

Bricca's first witness at the
public hearings was William
R. Peters, senior PUC trans
portation engineer, who pre
pared the investigation report.
Peters listed the- following
conclusions and recommenda
tions from the 78 page report:
1 SP has discontinued all
branch line trains, except the
Del Monte, and practically all
local passenger trains on the
main line, except for Penin
sula and Sacramento locals.
2 Passengers on SP trains
have decreased 27 per cent
since .1953, except for subur
ban, travel but the 1957 pas
senger level was only 11 per

cent limitation, Duff pointed
out.
The general fund budget is
$36,379, smaller than last

ed, Duff noted. ' . ; :
' The budget is divided into
nine funds, including the gen

Shouting Group
Challenged To
'Hear the Truth'
'Go Home, Nixon'
Signs Displayed
Lima, Peru P) Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon today
walked into a crowd yell
ing, rock-throwing students
and challenged them to "hear
the truth." A stone grazed his
neck.
Another rock thrown by a
student struck Nixon's aide.
Jack Sherwood, in the face .
and chipped a tooth. About 12
stones were thrown at the
Nixon party from the edge of
the crowd of shouting, whis
tling students as Nixon left ,
his car and walked into the
center of the mob. ' -
. An estimated 2,000 student
and non-students were gath
ered in the park at the ap
proach to the ancient San
Marcos University, waving
signs that said, "Get Out of
here Nixon, shark," and "Go
home, Nixon."
The vice president drove
up to the milling crowd and
stepped calmly from the. con
vertible to challenge the stu
dents. t,: ; ,
Applause as well as-hTsse's
greeted the - vice preflSentV
who had included a visit to ';
the university as part of his
eight-nation -tour of South '
America.
Nixon ignored previous
warnings that his appearance
before the Communist - insti
gated students might cause a
violent anti-American demon
stration. .
Nixon pushed into the crowd
that closed in around him,
shaking hands where he could
and beckoning others to come
closer. ' .. j
"Come and speak," he said. '
"Let me .talk-' to your lead
ers." Nearby students shouted
at him; ''Go home. Go home."
"Sure, I'll go home," Nixon
said, "but don't you want to
hear the truth first?"
-U.S. Secret Service agents .
and Peruvian security officials
were with Nixon in the noisy
crowd, as well as his transla
tor, Army Lt. Col, Vernon
Walters. Both Nixon and Wal
ters shouted to ' the police,
"Don't push, don't push."
Nixon said later he did this
to avoid the possibility that
someone in the mob might
be hurt by overzealous efforts
of the police to protect him.
Both American and Peru
vian ,- security agents had
checked the approaches to the
300-year-old university early
in the morning to determine
whether Communist students'
efforts to provoke an incident
were a threat to Nixon's per
sonal safety. -
The threats of riots came
from communist-led students .
who planned the demonstra
tion as part of a "Nixon go
home" movement. Student
sources told the United Press
that there was no intention of
causing Nixon bodily harm.
