Mediators Work
Toward Deadline
In Rail Dispute
- Chicago-flJPD-Federal media
tors worked toward a Friday
deadline today in efforts to
head off a 50,000-member un
ion's threat to break off wage
talks with the nation's rail
roads. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers Wednesday
said it would take a strike
vote and ask . the National
Mediation Board to arbitrate
if the carriers do not make
higher wage increase offers
by Friday.
'Feeler' Rejected - .
Perry S. Heath, assistant
Grand Chief Engineer of the
union, said the brotherhood
had rejected a "feeler" by
the railroads for a 3 per cent
wage boost, about IVz cents
an hour, effective next Jan. 1.
However, Theodore Short,
spokesman for the railroad
negotiating team, denied that
a wage offer had been made
arid charged that Heath's state
ment was an attempt to "mis
lead the public."
Mediators are meeting al
most daily with union and
railroad bargaining teams,
sometimes separteiy, some
time jointly, to fulfill pro
visions of the Railway Labor
Act.
Heath said his union had
suggested a 6 per cent pay
raise July 1 and another 3
per cent boost Jan. 1. He
said the railroad offer was
made informally in subcom
mittee meetings.
"Neither the union nor the
railroad committees have as
yet made an offer on wages,"
Short said. . .
Fulton Lewis
Suit Withdrawn
Washington (LTD A libel
suit, which resulted in a rec
ord $145,000 judgment against
radio commentator Fulton
Lewis Jr. until the verdict
was set aside as excessive, has
been withdrawn.
. Attorneys . would not com
ment on whether or not the
case had been settled out of
court. Lewis had no comment.
The suit was withdrawn
Wednesday.
The action originally was
brought in January, 1957, by
Mrs. Pearl Wanamaker, 60,
Seattle educator. It charged
that in a 1956 broadcast Lewis
mistakenly used her name in
speaking of a woman whose
brother had gone behind the
Iron Curtain and renounced
his American citizenship.
Last Jan. 31, a federal court
jury here awarded Mrs. Wan
amaker $145,000, largest ever
given by a jury here.
On May 6, federal Judge
George L. Hart Jr. said the
damages were "so excessive
as to shock the conscience:"
He said there should be a
new trial in the case.

British Tradition
Rudely Shattered
London - (UPD - Englishmen
choked in disbelief over their
teacups this morning. Yet an
other British tradition had
been rudely shattered.
A motorist had dared drive
through the horse guards arch
Wednesday afternoon.
An auto sped across the
parade ground and disappear
ed in the Whitehall traffic.
The scarlet-coated mounted
sentries with their gleaming
breast plates who stand mo
tionless at either side of the
arch, were motionless and
amazed. .
One foot sentry, a bared
sword at his shoulder shouted
"halt." But his voice could
not compete against the roar
of the exhaust.
"Disgraceful!" said Major
H. D. A. Langley, regimental
adjutant of the household
cavalry. "Only V.I.P.'s with
special ivory passes are al
lowed to drive under the arch
way," he added.
No one knows who drove
the car.
