Assembly Seeks
Budget Approval
In California
Sacramento-flJPD - The As
sembly moved quickly today
to push for approval of an
augmented budget to operate
California's huge state gov
ernment during the current
fiscal year.
In a series of dramatic
events, the Senate's week long
stalemate over the adminis
tration's spending program
was broken Monday. It was
a major victory for Demo
cratic Gov. Edmund G.
Brown.
By a 34-8 vote and with no
debate, the upper chamber
adopted an $84.0 million
budget augumentatlon meas
ure and sent It to the Assem
bly. But the lower chamber
wasn't necessarily going to
rubber stamp the bill.
Assembylman Robert W.
Crown (D-Alameda), chairman
of Ways and Means, said his
committee would hammer out
Its own version. The lower
chamber version now stands
at the $114 million submitted
by Brown, and probably will
be trimmed.
Ways and Means set an
afternoon session to consider
the budget augmentation,
which would be added to a
spend! ig - program totaling
$3.14 oillion approved by the
regulr.r session. .
Assembly Republicans ap
parently were backing down
on their original threat to
hold up the budget in retalia
tion for approval of an bank
and corporation tax speedup
bill. This measure passed both
houses last week.

Indian Fishing
Rights Upheld
Portland (UPD An Injunc
tion prohibiting state police
from arresting Indians who
fish at Three Mile dam and
adjacent areas on the Uma
tilla river five miles west of
Hcrmiston was issued Mon
day In U.S. District Court.
Judge Gus J. Solomon re
fused to bar the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation from netting
salmon, stcelhead, eels and
other fish.
The Indians asked for the
Injunction against the state,
which has been enforcing
.slate fishing laws prohibiting
the Indians from fishing for
eels. The injunction applies
only to the Three Mile site.
Judge Solomon ruled In
100 that the Indians had the
right to fish at their usual
and accustomed stations in
the tributaries of the Snake
and Columbia rivers and in
the Blue Mountains and adja
cent areas. His decision was
appealed and upheld Feb. IS
by the U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals. Monday's injunction
implemented the decision.
In a separate case the Con
federated Tribes have asked
$3 million damages from
the government for de
struction of their fishing
grounds when the dam flood
ed the area. The case goes
back to an 1853 treaty be
tween the federal government
and the Cayuse, Walla Walla
and Umatilla Indians, who
make up the Confederated
Tribes.

Retirement Fund
Near Bankruptcy,
Sources Reveal
Washington (UPD Railroad
and union representatives
have secretly agreed to ask
Congress to levy millions of
dollars in higher payroll taxes
on railroads and their work
ers, informants reported today.
The extra revenue is need
ed to help save the railroad
retirement fund from bank
ruptcy. Future benefits that
the fund is required to pay
out far exceed anticipated tax
revenue.
Ironically, railroad labor
and management quietly
reached the reported agree
ment on the payroll tax legis
lation at the very time that
they were deadlocked over
the work rules issue that
threatens a nationwide rail
strike.
The main feature of the
payroll proposal would boost
to $430 a month the earnings
base to which the railroad re.
tirement tax and unemploy
ment compensation tax is ap
plied.
Equal Contribution.
Both taxes apply now only
to the first $400 in monthly
earnings. The railroads and
their employees contribute
equal amounts to the retire
ment fund. But only the rail
roads pay into the jobless pay
fund. Both funds are In ser
ious financial trouble.
One source said he had
heard estimates that the pro
posal would provide $89 mil
lion a year in additional rev
enue, with railroads and their
employees each paying $28
million more into the retire
ment fund and the railroads
paying about $33 million more
into the jobless pay fund
Informants said the boost
in the taxable earnings base
along with other less signifi
cant changes in the jobless
pay program were agreed
upon by representatives of
all the railroad unions and
representatives of the Ameri
can Railroad Association.
Portlander Found
Shot To Death
Along Highway
Hagerman, Idaho-IUPD - A
Portland, Ore., man was
found shot to death In a pick
up truck parked alongside
Highway 30 Monday night.
Gooding County Sheriff
Keith Anderson said the vic
tim tentatively had been Iden
tified as Richard A. Harald,
31. There was no identifica
tion in the man's clothing or in
the pickup, Anderson said, but
Harald s boss, George Owen
Portland, furnished a physi
cal description thai matched
the dead man.
Thraa Qu.itlontd
Law enforcement officers
throughout southern Idaho
set up roadblocks Monday
night but failed to net any
suspects, Anderson said. The
roadblocks later were pulled
down. Anderson said he ques
tioned three men about the
case but later released them
The body was found in a
pickup truck parked in
roadside park about 2i miles
south of here. Harald had
been shot in the head.
Vahlclt Tracad
The vehicle, which bore
Oregon license plates, was
traced to Owen. At first, it
was believed he might be the
victim, but officers later
spoke with him by telephone.
It was Owen who suggested
the victim might be Harald.
"It looks like someone
probably shot him in his
sleep," Anderson said. He ad
ded the motive appeared to
be robbery.
Senator Magnuson
Undergoing Tests
Seattlc-UTH-Sen. Warren G
Magnuson (D-Wash.) was in
Providence Hospital here to-
day for diagnostic tests in
connection with recurring at
tacks of fever.
Magnuson'a physician, Dr.
Alex Grinstein, said there was
"nothing alarming" about
Mugnuson's condition. But he
added it was uncertain how
long the senator would have
to remain in the hospital.
Magnuson arrived here Frt
day evening and was confin
ed to his hotel room until
Monday when he went to the
hospital. He had been suffer
ing from fever up to 101 de
grees. Grienstcin said Magnuson'i
ailment may be a recurrence
of an illness Magnuson con
tracted while in military serv
ice In the Pacific.

Russia Seizes Opportunity To Enter Debate
By UN Council on
United Nations, N.Y.-IUPD-Russia
today seized the first
available chance to leap into
the Security Council debate
on the overseas policies of
Portugual, a member of the
North Atlantic Alliance.
Without waiting for presen
tation of the case against Por
tugal to be completed by the
four African countries desig
nated to do so by the recent
Addis Ababa conference, So
viet Ambassador Nikolai T.
Fedorenko inscribed himself
to speak at today's meeting
The council's hearing of
the unanimous demand of 32
African countries for UN dis
cipline of Portugal and South
Africa for repression of na
tives began tensely Monday
under doubled security pre
cautions. A brief sit-in at U.S. dele
gation headquarters was led
by William Worthy, a report
er for the Baltimore Afro
American, to demand Wash
ington's support for the ex
M'T A
em
RADO.
When two people find it impossible to agree, they frequently
leave the decision up to a third party. This is arbitration.
Arbitration, we believe, is the only way left to head off a crippling
nation-wide rail strike. The railroads have repeatedly 'said they are
willing to leave the decision in the work rules dispute to an impartial
third party. The rail unions have consistently refused to trust their
case to such impartial analysis and decision.
The only remaining solution appears to be action by Congress
requiring both parties to submit to arbitration.
.WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS?
WHAT COULD BE FAIRER?
The public overwhelmingly favors arbitration over a rail strike. A
recent nation-wide survey by one of America's oldest and most re
spected opinion research organizations showed a three to one vote
among the general public for arbitration in the transportation industry
(60 for, 20 against, 20 no opinion).
Do union members share their leaders' opposition to arbitration?
THEY DO NOT!
The same survey showed 54 of union members in favor of arbitration
over a strike, 302 in opposition, and 16 no opinion.
How do union families who stand the brunt of a work stoppage fed
about arbitration? By a greater majority than the general public, they
favor arbitration over a strike. Sixty-six per cent of the union families
support arbitration, while only 19." oppose, and 15 express no opinion.
In view of the basic fairness of an impartial third party decision
when two sides fail to agree; in view of the overwhelming public
support for the principle of arbitration in transportation; and in
view of the disastrous consequences of a nation-wide rail strike,
Congress can serve the public interest best by promptly enact
ing legislation requiring a settlement of the issues in this dispute.
