Oregon members of Con

set up the second national

reaching agreement between
the Agriculture and Interior
Departments on recreational

sharply increasing chances
for congressional approval.

San Francisco-(UPI) -A fed
eral conciliator struggled to
day to head off the first major
strike against the Southern
Pacific railroad in 16 years,
but a railway clerks spokes
man said the union may walk
out before midnight tonight.
Frank O'Neill, chairman of
the Federal Mediation Board,
held separate meetings with
the company and the union
this morning in efforts to
settle a dispute over jobs
eliminated by automation.
He met with the company
t 9:30 a.m. and the union
at 11 a.m.
"We may walk out before
midnight tonight." a spokes
man for the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks said, declar
ing that a new company offer
was unacceptable.
But he said arrangements
had been made with other rail
way brotherhoods to make
sure that San Francisco Bay
Area commuters are able to
get home in the event that a
strike is called before this
evening's rush hour.
Ibe 11,000 member union,
which claims the support of
39.000 other SP employees,
could tie up the railroad's op
erations in seven western
states, extending from Oregon
to Texas.
O'Neill gained a few hours
of time in meetings with both
sides Wednesday. The union
earlier had threatened to go
out anytme after midnight to
day, tut there were indica
tions that time was all he
gained.
James Weaver, the union's
SP chairman, said the com-
loss of jobs through automa
tion, but that the offer was
"absolutely not what we
want."
The union has demanded a
retraining program with the
company for workers dis
placed by machines and new
procedures. The railroad
maintains it "cannot agree
Adenauer Claims
Promise Made To
Renew Discussion
France Rebuffs
Soviet Premier
London - IUPII - Western Eu
rope put increasing pressure
on France today to force Presi
dent Charles de Gaulle to
reverse his veto of Britain's
bid for membership in the Eu
ropean Common Market.
In Bonn, West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
said he told De Gaulle last
October that he favored Brit
ish entry. And he repeated
today that "I am for British
membership in the Common
Market above all else
Discussion Promised
Adenauer added that De
Gaulle had promised to re
new discussion of Britain's
Common Market membership
as soon as the pending France-
German friendship treaty is
ratified.
In other developments:
Delegates attending the
six-nation European Parlia

Legislature Could
Tap Vets' Bond
Sinking Fund
Thornton Submits
Transfer Opinion
Salem - (UPD - If the legis
lature finds a "legal surplus
in the veterans' bond sinking
fund, it can transfer the sur
plus to the general fund to
help pay for slate services.
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn
ton said today.
The opinion offered a pos
sible way of dealing with the
shortage of general fund
money that has threatened a
severe cutback in state serv
ices for the remainder of the
current biennium between
now and July.
The grounds for Thornton's
finding were different from
those suggested earlier by
Gov. Mark Hatfield - but they
may make more money avail
able. Money Appropriated
The legislature started out
the veterans' lending agency
by appropriating tax money
in 1945. It took some of that
back in 1953. Hatfield pro
posed taking the remaining
$5.5 million back as "tax
moneys" this winter.
Thornton declared "the
present reserve . . . does not
involve any tax moneys."
He noted, however, ac
counts of the agency show it
has earned a profit of $10
million ". . representing
earnings over and above ex
penses." This is the same find
ing made in a report by Leg
islative Fiscal Officer Ken
neth Bragg, who suggested the
legislature tap the profit for
general fund money. .
Up To Legislature
Thornton said it is up to
the legislature to decide

Juras spoke at the opening
of a two-day meeting with
county administrators from
throughout the slate.
He commended the county
departments for prompt proc
essing of medical care for the
aged cases, good casework, ef
ficient handling of foods, and
good cooperation with local
governments on work relief.
Juras stressed rehabilitation
in his talk.
He emphasized preventive
services to get families back
to self-support as quickly as
poible.
Juras said "case classifica
tion," which began as a pilot
program in Jackson and Mult
nomah counties, shows prom

determining problems in in
dividual family cases in an
attempt to lead to quicker re

Important Meeting
British Foreign Secretary
Lord Home journeyed to Brus
sels for an important policy
meeting with Belgian Foreign
Minister Paul-Henri Spaak.
Both Home and Adenauer
have tabbed United States

Europe's security against com
munism. And the move by
the Strasbourg delegates in
criticizing France indicated a
tightening of lines ngainrt
Paris and behind Washington
in the current power struggle
over the Common Market.
He said this would be "over
and above the amount neces
sary to amortize the bonds
sold by the veterans agency to
provide money to lend.
Thornton noted "although
there is $251 million of out
standing bonded indebtedness.
there are no bonds due or
callable at this time."
Sen. Ward Cook (D-Porl-
