Leaders of five unions have threatened to strike if the changes are made. Board Secretary Eugene C. Thompson said letters were sent to the unions and the na tion's leading railroads con cerning an NMB proposal to arbitrate the i.Kucs in dispute. The railroads accepted ar bitration. The labor organiza tions turned down the offer. Under the Railway Labor act, neither side can make any changes in rules or work ing conditions for 30 days. It appeared that only ap pointment of a presidential emergency board to investi gate the dispute and make settlement recommendations could st-ve off a transporta tion crisis in mid-August. Both sides expect that President Kennedy will Inter vene. This would delay any changes or resulting walkout for at least 60 days after he names such a special board. The iraues In dispute wore studied for more than a year, however, by a presidential railroad commission consist ing of five public, five union and five managemert repre sentatives. The railroads accepted the recommendations but the un ions rejected them. Negotia tions began April 2 in an ef fort to resolve the differ ences. M a n a g ement negotiators walked out twice, claiming that the rail brotherhoods were stalling. The unions re plied that the companies did not seem interested in di.s cussing the issues . raised by the unions. The unions involved are t h e locomotive engineers firemen, conductors, train, men and switchmen. The carriers have indicated (hey want to institute the changes recommended by the commission as soon as possi ble whether the unions agree or not. At the outset of the three. year-old dispute, the rail roads contended that obsolete work rules they called "fcath erbedding" were costing $500 million a year. The unions said the rules were necessary for efficiency and safely.

' , Rllllil R00M cooler Sixth nd Central I Open Fridny Nights 'Til 9 I Failure of Life Support System Blamed Sunnyvale, Calif - lUPIl Two Rhesus monkeys and four hamsters which were sent aloft in a high altitude balloon as part of a radiation experiment died from natural causes in the capsules in which they were parachuted to earth, the Ames Research Center announced here today. Dr. Webb Haymaker, head of the Life Sciences Division of the center, reported from the scene of the landing in northern Saskatchewan that the animals had died due to failure of the life support system in the capsules. This includes air conditioning, tem perature and oxygen. Haymaker, who first flew over the rugged scene of the capsule's landing in a helicop ter, reported he could detect "no sign of life." The heli copter was unable to land at first, but Haymaker returned later and made his determin ation. The helicopter was un able to pick up the three cap sules, and Haymaker has re turned again to tha scene in a float plane to get them. The capsules will be flown to Edmonton, Alberta. Two of them with the monkeys, hamsters and recording equip ment will be forwarded to Goose Bay, Labrador, from where the balloon was orig inally launched. The other, containing flower beetles, will be sent to the Ames Re search Center here for study. The beetles and several flower beetles were parachu ted into the heavily forested area after a 39-hour, 25-mile-high ride across Canada to test how radiation might af fect space travelers. They were contained in two of three capsules attached to a balloon 300 feet In diameter and 384 feet high. The capsules were released electronically by a tracking plane at 2:30 p.m. (PST) Sun day. Haymaker was guided to the site of the landing, 43 miles north of Prince Albert, by a radio beacon which al lowed scientists to track the balloon on its 1,920-mile trip. The balloon was launched early Saturday in Goose Bay, Labrador.

Graham Criticizes Modern Living in Fresno Crusade Fresno, Calif. - OIPD - Evan gelist Billy Graham, suffer ing from a slight sore throat, planned to preach on the prob lems of youth, security and sex tonight in the second ser mon of his eight-day crusade in Fresno. Graham opened his crusade Sunday nighl wlfh a ringing criticism of modern living and a call to return to God. He addressed a capacity crowd of 23.000 in Ratcliffe Sladium, a collcce football stadium convened into an open-air church for his ap pearance here. "We are a people filled with fear, frustration, disap pointment and sin,'' Graham said. "We are in danger of be coming Jaded, empty and hsnal." The evangelist said it is "doubtful that a country with no highly developed sense of national purpose, with an overwhelming accent on personal comfort and with in sufficient social discipline can compete with a purposeful, serious and disciplined society such as that of the Soviet Un ion." The crowd of shirtsleeved men and women wearing light summer dresses dresses swelt ered in 90-degree heat as Gra ham called for a rededication to God. "God has become only an extension of our own dc-ires and imaginations," he said. "We have .n.u e a pygmy Gud. h miniaf.i.o deity, iVluoned in our own image. We need to accept the Biblical concept of God." confidentially We LOVE to Loan! iDaCTAI LOW BANK RATES LOANS TO $2,500 UP TO 24 MONTHS TO PAY If a dark cloud enters your life, give it silver lining with a low-cost personal man through U.S. National.
