The railroad has refused, contending such re training would create unnec essary Jobs and retard tech nical progress. The clerks threatened to walk off their jobs Feb. 6, but O'Neill flew to San Frtfhcisco from Washington and was granted lime, on a day-to-dny basis, to settle the differences. Two Weeks of Talks After two weeks of talks in San Francisco, national lead ers of the union agreed to transfer the peace negotia tions Io Chicago against I he wishes of the SP unit of the brotherhood. Negotiation broke off after only three days in Chicago, and union officials returned to San Francisco "now in com plete accord" that a strike could not be averted. Hut the tireless O'Neill fol lowed them to the West Coast and asked for more time. "1 have discussed the South ern Pacific situation with Sec retary of Labor Willard Wirt, and it has been decided that he will do our best to avert a strike on this rail road." he said. A walkout by the clerks, who claim the support of 39,000 other SP employees, would tie up the railroad s op erations in Oregon, Cali fornia, Nevada, Arizona. Utah, New Mexico and west Tex.is. Death Toll Edges Upward in Flu Areas By United Press International The death toll edged up ward today in the outbreak of flu that has hit 21 states. Thousands lay ill from some sort of respiratory ailments. Asian flu was isolated in 11 slates. Health officials in New York City reported that dur ing the first seven weeks of 1963, 818 New Yorkers died from either pneumonia or in fluenza. This represents about 300 more victims than normally would die during a corres ponding period in an average year. The health department said there was no accurate way to distinguish between the victims of the two dis eases. The latest death figures in other states included West Virginia 5, Kentucky 3, Indi ana, Michigan and Florida, 1 each, and in Johnson City, Kan., several elderly patients In a rest home. Different parts of the na-tion-mostly in the East and South have been hit by the virus during the past six weeks and millions have felt the effects of fever, fatigue, cough and sneezes.

Y. health department confirmed six cas es of Asian flu during the week end, but A. Clement Silverman, director of the California Schools May Be Required to Hire More Teachers Sacramento - fUPB - George Miller, chairman of the pow erful Senate finance commit tee, today said he would in troduce a bill aimed at requiring schools to hire more teachers and fewer adminis trators. Miller, a Democrat from Martinez, cited a Senate com mittee report which said that California class sizes were among the largest in the na tion, mostly because of a "dis proportionate growth" in the number of non-teaching staff members. "The way to cut class sizes," Miller said, "is to get rid of some of this certificated per sonnel that doesn't teach." Along Suggestion Line Miller said that his bill would be "along the line" of suggestions from legislative analyst A. Alan Post, who laid out an entirely new system of apportioning state aid to the public schools in a recent re port to the legislature. Under Post's plan, the stale would apportion its aid, cur rently running to about $800 million annually, for the pur pose of paying teachers' sala ries and little else. Districts would be encouraged to hire teachers rather than adminis trators to qualify for maxi mum amounts of state funds.
