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.

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 ,

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

which needy Americans could

The President said it would

He said it simply would re

surplus foods to the impover
ished and further increase
