Changes in Work Rules Suggested By bard Vetoed Chicago IDPD The sudden collapse of talks between the nation's railroads and five unions tossed the controversy over "fealherbedding" back to the Kennedy administra tion today. Railroad bargainers walked out of the negotiations Thurs day, charging that the five operating (on train) brother hoods refused to give ground on work rule changes recom mended by a presidential commission. The recommendations in cluded proposals that would eventually eliminate the jobs of some 40,000 firemen, who allegedly are "featherbed ding" on dicscl engines. J. E. Wolfe, top bargainer and spokesman for the car- riers, said the railroads would tell the unions within 10 days whether they would put the commission recommendations into effect. If such a move is approved by the railroads, Wolfe said, the work rule changes would become effective within 30 days of the notification. The brotherhoods, repre senting 211,000 employees, have rejected the recommen dations as a basis for negoti ating new contracts. Faces Strike Threat Thus, if the proposed work rule changes are put into ef fect. President Kennedy may be faced with the job of head ing off the first nationwide rail strike in 16 years. Wolfe said the railroads are free to change the work rules and that the unions are. free to strike. This, he said, was because the agreement to create the commission stipu lated that its operations and recommendations would re place mediation and emer gency board processes re quired by the Railway Labor Act. But he said the agreement "does nut deprive the Presi dent ... of his statutory right to appoint an emergency board." At his news conference Thursday, Kennedy said that Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg was keeping a close check on developments inline controversy. Blame ihe Other In separate news confer ences, both union and man agement blamed the other for the breakup of the negotia tions. "The unions' flat refusal to face up to the public respon sibility and their continued defiance of the presidential work rules commission leaves us no alternative," Wolfe said. "The unions have announc ed both publicly and informal ly that they Intend to defy the presidential commission and in their meetings with us have steadfastly refused to come to grips with the subject." He called the negotiations, which have passed through 20 sessions since April 2, a "tra vesty on the collective bar gaining process.' The brotherhoods called the railroad action unprecedent ed" and charged the carriers with violating a pledge lo "discuss and negotiate all is sues in the dispute." "This is not the way to ne gotiate an agreement and cer tainly dues nut represent good faith collective bargaining," the unions said. Not Talking Strike Both sides, however, indi cated there was no immediate strike threat. A spokesman for the broth erhoods, which include fire men, engineers, conductors, trainmen and switchmen, said ! they "are not talking strike at the present time." Sam C. Phillips, assistant president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engincmen, and he foresaw no "wildcat'' strikes. The unions will make a decision on their next move later, he said. Wolfe said, "We do not ex pect a strike. We do not in tend to lock anybody out. "We expect that eventuallv. with tile assistance of the ad- ministration or otherwise, in agreement will be reached within the framework of the presidential commission report." Kennedy's Decision To Sefidl Troops To ThoiDeirod) Coob !tuttfoe)s& Asia Crisis United Press International President Kennedy's deci sion to send combat forces to Thailand appeared today to have cooled down the crisis in Southeast Asia. With U. S. Marines estab lished within striking distance of t h e Laotion border, pro Communist rebels gave back ground to the royal Laotian army. A battalion-sized force had reestablished the control of the pro-Western government in the Laotian Mekong river village of Houei Sai. American military advisers ventured up to 25 miles out of the village with Laotian army patrols without encoun tering the rebel force that drove the royal army across the Thailand border last week. The rebels proclaimed over their clandestine "Voice of Laos" radio they would not give up the strategic towns of Nam Tha and Muong Sing al though they were on the gov ernment side of the cease fire line proclaimed last year. Nevertheless, no fighting has been reported In north western Laos for nearly a week, raising hopes that the rebels were ready to sue for peace.

President Kennedy indi cated at Mis news conference Thursday that the United States was agreeable to a cease fire at present positions without the rebels necessarily giving back the territory they have wrested from govern ment forces this month. "Obviously," he told a ques tioner, "we would prefer as great a withdrawal to the line that was in effect a week or so ago as we could get. I think, however, that the peace along the line which now may exist, of course, is essential." In Knoxville, Tenn., Secre tary of State Dean Rusk told newsmen Thursday night that the Laotian people would settle their own problems peacefully if "foreigners . . . would just leave them alone." "The three princes are now converging on Laos again -two of them have been out of the country in the last few days - and talks may resume at the beginning of this next week," he said. "We hope that they will find some agreement on a coalition government." 1, GRADUATION CARDS When you c&re enough lo aend ihe very best . Swem'i 317 E. Main Medford .. 42", .. .14' j ..
