Washington -OIPD- A Labor
Department request that the
Railroad Firemen's Union as
semble its decision-making
committee in Washington
next week puzzled some
union and management nego
tiators today.
Both sides in the railroad
work rules controversy said
there presently was no for
mal proposal to place before
the 156-member General
Chairmen's Committee of the
union.
The committee, which has
the power to accept or reject
a settlement package, was
ordered to assemble at the in
sistence of Labor Secretary
W. Willard Wirtz.
Wirtz declined to say if a
new offer from the carriers
would be ready for submis
sion to the committee next
week. But he said the group's
presence would be "an es
sential element in an agree
ment if there is to be an
agreement."
Wirtz meantime said he
would report behind closed
doors to the Senate Com
merce Committee today on
progress of the negotiations.
Union sources said the
general chairman of the
union, the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and En
gincmcn, takes a strong, pos
itive role in contract negotia
tions. This contrasts with the
rubber-stamp approval of
new contracts by similar
committees in other unions,
informed sources said.
J. E. Wolfe, chief negotia
tor for the railroads, said
there was no new proposal
on which the committee
could act. He said there had
been "no progress" in discus
sions with union representa
tives. Spokesmen for the fire
men said, however, they anti
cipated thai the general
chairmen would have some
proposal to consider by the
time they arrive Tuesday.

Idaho Brush Fires,
Flood in Buffalo
Bring Heavy Losses
By United Pratt International
Brush and forest fires raged
out of control in Idaho today
and Buffalo, N. Y., mopped
up from the worst flood in its
history.
' States of emergency were
declared both at Buffalo and
in Idaho.
' The season's first hurricane
which fizzled out earlier this
week, regained strength dur
ing the night. Squalls with
winds up to 60 miles an hour
pushed toward Bermuda and
the Weather Bureau warned
shipping and small craft in
the path of the tropical storm
to exercise caution.
Winds were expected to in
crease to gale force in the
Bermuda area during the day.
Scattered showers soaked
the eastern third of the na
tion. Fire officials said condi
tions on Idaho's range and for
est land were improved today
but said the fire threat would
continue unless lightning
storms end and 100 degree
temperatures are broken.
600 Battl Fir
Some 600 men, including
100 Indian fire fighters,
fought a huge range fire east
of Weiser, Idaho, today. The
blaze already had burned
more than 100,000 acres of
land and the fiie was still
rated out of control. Nearly
a dozen smaller fires were
also out of control.
' About 200 fires were start
ed in Idaho Tuesday by light
ning storms.
Buffalo Mayor Chester Kow
al said today damage from
Wednesday's storm-triggered
flood would hit $35 million.
Two representatives of the
Small Business Administra
tion toured the inundated
area today.
Torrential rains off Lake
Erie dumped nearly four
inches of water on the city.
Thousands of basements were
flooded and hundreds of fanv
illes were stranded. Public
transportation came to a hall.
The Weather Bureau said
the storm dumped the second
largest amount of water on
the city In its records for a
24-hour period. City officials
said the flood was Buffalo's
worst. '
Flash Flood Strike!
A brief coludburst caused
a flash flood at Victorville,
Calif., Wednesday which
swept cars off highways, ma
rooned motorists and flooded
homes with up to three feet
of water.
1 Los Angeles got Its first re
corded precipitation in Au
gust since 1061.
: Heavy rains which struck
the Midwest this week have
sent rivers in Iowa surging
upward but most crests are
expected to be below flood
stage. An exception was the
North Racoon river at Jeffer
son, Iowa, which was expect
ed to reach flood stage during
the day.
In other storms Wednesday,
Imperial, Nebr., was hit with
nearly 2V6 inches of rain in
six hours and Ardmorc, Okla.,
received 1 V inches in the
same period.
The mercury shot past the
100-degree mark from Texas
to the Dakotas Wednesday. It
was 103 at Miles City, Mont.,
Pierre, S.D., and Presideo,
Tex. Philip, S.D., Fort Worth,
Tex., and Laredo, Tex., had
102 degree readings.

Recipe Meter
Houston, Tex. - (UPI) - A
Houston newsman with a
head for kitchen arithmetic
has devised a mathematics
wheel that takes the guess
work out of a housewife's
recipe juggling.
His "Dial a Dish" converts
recipes speciflying a certain
number of servings Into any
number of servings.
Luther Rowsey, assistant
city editor of the Houston
Press, got a copyright on his
recipe meter and hopes to
mass-produce it so homemak-
ers can make their kitchen
computations without pad and
pencil.
The recipe meter Is a cir
cular disc with a small disc
atttached. The outer scale has
settings for servings desired.
The inner scale settings arc
for the servings listed on the
recipe.
By setting the desired num
ber opposite the servings list
ed, the housewife can turn to
any measure on the "recipe"
scale and get the corespond
ing Ingredient measure on the
"desired" scale.
Ann Valentine, the wom
en's editor at the Press, des
cribes the meter's effective
ness this way. "Say you have
just the dish you want to
serve for dinner but the rec
ipe you have calls for eight
servings and you are cooking
for three.
"Even a mathematical nin
compoop like myself knows
that all you have to do is to
cut the ingredients to 3feths.
But how to cut 4 V cups down
to ths is beyond my ken."
