T Three-Man Railroad Arbitration Board Named by Kennedy L-"-'s V 1 Chairman Seeks Conference With Labor Secretary Washington (UPI) - Chair man Ralph T. Seward of the new railroad arbitration board said today he hoped to confer with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz before scheduling hear ings on two key issues in the rail rules dispute. Seward and two other profes sional neutrals Benjamin Aaron and James J. Healy were picked Thursday by Presi dent Kennedy to serve on the special board under the first peacetime compulsory arbitra tion law. Joined by two representatives each from rail labor and man agement, they will decide whether firemen are needed on diesel locomotives in yard or freight service, and the proper size of train crews. No Fixed Plans Seward, a former member ot the War Labor Board ana now irrmartia umoire for Bethlehem Steel and the Steelworkers, said he had no fixed plans yet for the arbitration process. The law calls for the board to begin its consideration of the is sues within 30 days trom Aug. 28 and issue a decision 60 days later. It will take effect in an other 60 days. Wirtz arranned a meeting to day with representatives of the carriers and five rail unions to discuss resumption of bargain ing on so-called secondary is sues in the four-year-old dispute. On matters involving the pay system, yard and road crew jur isdiction, run between division crew - changing point and oth er issues, the law provides for renewed negotiations. Law Signed The law, rushed through Con gress and signed by Kennedy hours before a threatened na tionwide rail strike, makes no provision for a deadlock on the secondary Issues. The arbitration chairman said he had never been involved in a dispute involving railroads in their role as common carriers. He said he had arbitrated some cases involving rail operations within a steel plant, however. The other two members of the arbitration board also have had wide experience in the field of labor relations. Healy, professor of industrial relations at the Harvard Uni versity School of Business, has served as a presidential appoin tee In a number of disputes in volving the maritime industry. On War Labor Board Aaron, director of the Insti tute of Industrial Relations at the University of California at Los Angeles, was vice chairman of the University of California at Los Angeles, was vice chair man of the Wage Stabilization Board in 1951-52. He served on the War Labor Board from 1942 to 1014. Both the unions and railroads already have named their mem bers on the arbitration panel. The unions designated H. E. Gilbert, president of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engincmen, and Ray Mc Donald, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men. Management members are J. ARBITRATION BOARD President Kennedy has named the three men shown above as the public members of the arbitration board to decide key issues in the railroad rules dispute. From left, they are James J. Healy, profescor of industrial relations at the Harvard Univer sity School of Business; Ralph T. Seward, chair man, impartial umpire for Bethlehem Steel and the Steelworkers Union, and Benjamin Aaron, director of the Institute of Industrial Relations at the University of California at Los Angeles. (UPI) Regional Edition Paae 2A MEDFORDtJSiliTRIBUNE MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1963 Surgeons Rejoin Severed Arm of Injured Man Stock Market at New Level; Dow Jones Reaches 737.98 New York (UPI) Wall Street found itself at a heady new alti tude today. By almost any pop larly understood average, the market in listed stocks stood at a new high. The steps by which any stairs are built in this area earnings and dividends of the companies whose securities are listed on the exchange had been climb ing in (his direction for months. Whether they had climbed to merely a landing, or whether they had led to a solid floor from which further ascent was possible, was almost a secon dary consideration. At least over nightly, the community which deals in dollar signs could feel that it had accomplished something. It had seen two indexes the numerical counterparts of the lines of mercury in clinical ther mometers used to measure tem perature break into new high ground in trading on Thursday. One of these was the vener able and venerated Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks. It closed at 737.98, up 5.06 for the day and 3.07 higher than the 734.91 it reached Dec. 13, 1901 lhe other was the younger, but generally regarded as broad cr-bascd, Standard & Poor's in. dcx of 500 slocks. It had made one new record level on Tues day, when it closed at 72.66. Thursday, it gained another 0.36 from Wednesday to close at a new high of 73.00. S&P can back up with breakdowns by group ings that it represents 86 per cent of the market value of all common slocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Heavy trading for three days, almost of the bandwagon type in the last half-hour Thursday, had helped put these indexes at their new levels. It was the kind of trading relished by lhe "bulls," or those who wish lo see a rising market: it was heavy trading on the upside. Electronics Pace Market Advance; Auto Prices Firm New York (UPI) Stocks continued lo advance today. Electronics paced the gain with IBM up about 3'k and Lit ton, Beckman, Electronic Asso ciates, Electronic Specialty and Texas Instruments all up 1 or more. U.S. S,teel rose close to in the steels.

The judges chose Miss Arkan sas, Donna Axum, as the winner in the bathing suit category Thursday night and they weren't just whistling Dixie it just seemed that way. The 21-year-old brown-eyed brunette, with 124 ponds dis tributed neatly on a 5-feet-6 frame, paraded to victory clad in a white one-piece swim suit. Her measurements: 35-23-36. Miss District of Columbia, Rosanne Tuellcr, 20, won the talent contest based on her ren dition of "I Love Paris," in French. Since Miss Tueller lives in nearby Virginia and is a na tive of Florida it was a clean sweep for the southern belles. Second Straight Night It was the second straight night that beauties from below the Mason-Dixon Line have romped off with competition honors. Wednesday night Miss Ala bama, Judith Short, won the trophy in the bathing suit cate gory antl Miss Virginia, Dorcas Campbell, took top honors in the talent competition. The third round in the various categories is scheduled for to night, with the semifinals and finals Saturday night. Winners in the preliminary evening gown and personality competitions will not be an nounced until the semifinals. Officials said the arm, com pletely severed near the shoul der, was rejoined, circulation was restored and the three ma jor nerves were reconnected during a 10-hour and 40-minute operation by a 13 member sur gical team. They said it could not be de termined immediately whether the operation was a success. Surgeons hoped to repeat their success of last year when they performed a similar operation. In May, 1962, during an opera tion that now is a part of med ical history, Massachusetts Gen eral hospital ' surgeons rejoined the right arm ol 12 - year old Everett Knowles of Somerville after the arm was severed when the boy fell from a train. The Knowles boy is slowly re gaining use of his arm with daily exercise and continued treatment. However, several other at tempts to rejoin severed limbs at Massachusetts General have not been successful. Wakefield police dragged Turnquist from the path of an approaching train Thursday aft er the crew of another train go ing in the opposite direction re ported what looked like a dead man on the tracks. I Sgt. John Mahoney and Pa-1 ' trolman Arthur Bragg found Turnquist lying on the Boston and Maine Railroad tracks near Route 128 in Wakefield shortly after they received the report. Mahoney said Turnquist was lying on his back across the southbound tracks. His severed right arm was a short distance away on the outside of the tracks. Turnquist also suffered a deep cut on his head. One of his shoes was hurled sever al feet down the track. Bragg and Mahoney placed Turnquist on a stretcher and carried him off the tracks just as a Boston bound train came into view. Mahoney also placed the severed arm in a piece of newspaper. A waiting ambulance took both Turnquist and the arm to j the Melrose - Wakefield hospi-j tal. There, Dr. Harry Schwartz I of Wakefield removed the torn1 sleeve from the detached arm and packed the limb in a buck-: et of ice. Turnquist then was transfer- red to the Boston hospital. j Physicians said Turnquist had lost little blood and his pulse was strong. They also said the amputation was rather clean, j Police said they had not de termined how Turnquist was injured.
