At the same time, he said, they carried a" "great poten tial for destruction" and that this fact was "one of the best guarantees against having to use it."

Legislative Pay Petition Accepted Salem - (DPD - Secretary of State Howell APPlhig Jr. said today he accepted service of a petition or writ of mana damus in connection with State Sen. R. F. Chapman's action which seeks to compel Appling to pay salaries to leg islators of $175 per rrionth. The state J legislators now make $600 a year although several efforts have been made to increase this amount.- "My personal . sympathies have always been infavor of ; paying legislators an equitable salary," Appiing saia. cer tainly those who devote such considerable time and energy to the problems of the state are entitled to at least receive salary sufficient to defray their out-of-pocket expenses and lost income." But Appling added that he felt the question of law in volved in Chapman's method of requesting an increased salary "can best be resolved by having the matter brought before the State Supreme Court for judicial determina tion." .- . The secretary said he had no objections" to Chapman's suggestion that the matter be decided by the Supreme Court. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton will represent Ap pling in the case.

Non-Operating Workers Would Get Reduction Chicago- (UPD -The nation's railroads have demanded a 15 cent an hour wage cut for non-operating employees. In addition, the railroads insisted that non-operating rail unions hold the line on fringe benefits. The "emands were included in a statement Monday by the Carriers Conference Commit tee, comprised . of railroads around the' nation. Cuts Said Necessary The committee, said . the wage cuts were necessary to bring, rail 'employees- salaries into line with those of pro duction workers in other in dustries. Ted Short, chairman of the Western Carriers Conference Committee, added that "tre mendous and steadily rising competitive pressure," also dictated the pay cuts. The non-operatinj, rail un ions represent 550,000 work ers - including clerks, teleg raphers i d station agents not directly involved in mov ing trains. Short said that non-operating employees were earning an average of $2.37 an hour as of last July. This compared with an average of $2.16 for industrial workers; Short said. Higher Pay Raises- ' f.:: ... Sirice 1953, he said, hourly pay raises for rail workers have totaled 59 cents, as.op:. posed to -an average of 49 cents for"workers in 'general, manufacturing. .: ; : The committee demanded that current hospital, medi cal and surgical plans con tinue to be entirely employee financed. In 1958, the statement said, the roads! rate of return on investment fell 2.76 per" cent, dropping the industry, to last among the nation's 65 major industries. on Ike's Leadership Given Congress Washington - (UPD - Demo crats and Republicans .were in sharp disagreement today on just how much leadership President Eisenhower provide ed for the recently adjourned Congress. GOP members of Congress hailed the chief executive as the real leader of this year's session. But several Demo crats said that if he showed leadership, it was in the di rection of bigger spending. The President was praised for "vigorous leadership" by such members of his party as Senate Republican Whip Thomas Kuchel (Cauf.), Sen. Karl E. Mundt (S.D.) and 3ep, Harold C. Ostertag (N.Y.). . Dissenting from the GOP interpretation were Senate Democratic Leader Lyadon B. Johnson and his assistant, Sen. Mike Mansfield. . They declared that the Democratic - controlled Con gress had cut Eisenhowers record peacetime spendini; proposals by $1,800,000,000. A third approach was taken by Oregon's sometime lone wolf, Sen. Wayne Morse (D- Ore.). He accused Democratic congressional leaders of yield ing far too often to fie Presi dent's demands. Morse called for a resurgence by congres sional liberals. The barrage of statements came on the heels of the Presi dent's charge Satorday. that the Democratic Congress piled ud a record of "many disap- nointine failures." He credit ed an outspoken citizenry" and GOP House-Senate lead ers for checking "excessive" spending proposals.

Qirashdhev -Left in Mowing Visit To San Francisco-ffiPD-Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's visit to San Francisco left him in a visibly better mood today than his Los Angeles experi ence. He has managed to blast a wide crack in the iron security ring that surrounds him, he has shaken hands and rubbed shoulders with representatives of "the masses,", and he has done more rubbernecking than in any other American city. , V , More Representative His bout with Labor lead ers apparently left him un fazed, especially after his un scheduled call on Harry Bridges ef the Longshoremen's Union.

Bridges is more representative of the real sentiments of American Labor than Walter Reuther. The Soviet premier, who gets a daily briefing on the American and world press, has no doubt been told of reports that needling tactics applied to him in New York and Los Angeles were inspired by Henry Cabot Lodge, whom Soviet newsmen jestingly de scribed as "Khrushchev's poli tical commissar."

Outwardly Khrushchev's re lations with Lodge appeared to be good: He wasv refrained from public criticism of tne U.N. ambassador, if for no other reason,' because Lodge is a personal representative of President Eisenhower. And so far the President, m Khrusncnev s view, - nas been beyond good and evil. He has missed no oppor tunity to praise Eisenhower's sincerity, seriousness of pur pose and oppoisition to war.. Khrushchev appears at this point to have the . edge in his debate with Lodge. The pre mier usually has the last word and the ambassador gets no chance at rebuttaL y Lacks Authority Moreover, Lodge lacks the authority of a political com missar. He can suggest or inspire modes of conduct but he can not issue directives to mayors, police chiefs, industrialists and labor leaders. . No Food Stamp Plan Considered Washington (DPD President Eisenhower has indicated , he won't put into operation a test food stamp plan ( under which needy Americans could get surplus foods. The President said it would not make additional surplus foods available. ' He said it simply would re place an existing state and local system for distributing surplus foods to the impover ished and further increase "the already disproportionate ieaerai snare 01 welfare ex penses." Eisenhower made the state- mnt Monday when he signed into law a bill extending for two - years a $4,100,000,000 program for selling -and bar tering U.
