SUNDAY. DECEMBER 14. 195R HERALD AND EVS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON' PACT T A: Unions Back Commuter Service Probe WASHINGTON HPI) - A pro posed congressional inquiry into railroad moves to abandon com muter service received hacking Friday from rail union leaders. The leaders, members of the Railway Labor Executives' Asso ciation, also accused the railroads of endangering the traveling pub lic by neglecting safety regulations. The association passed a resolu tion commending Sen. Clifford P. Case (R-N.J.) for suggesting the Senate investigation into rail abandonment requests made since the passage of a new transporta tion act last year. The law made it easier for railroads to discon tinue service on interstate passen ger runs which arc operating at a loss. Daniel P. Loomis, president of the Association of American Rail roads, promptly declared the un ions were trying to hold on to jobs for "uneconomic and unneed ed services." He said the new law must be preserved because it provides "a realistic means of removing the undue burden on interstate com merce resulting from require ments to maintain uneconomic services." Loomis did not comment direct ly on the union safety charges, but he declared that "name call ing and finger-pointing by rail la bor officials do nothing to contrib ute to solution of grave problems confronting the railroad indus try." A. E. Lyon, secretary treasurer ef the 22-union group which con cluded a five-day meeting here, said no federal agency now has power to require a railroad to re pair faulty tracks or bridges. Jesse Clark, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Signal men, said railroads are endanger ing the lives of their passengers by "gross neglect" of their sig naling systems.

Ellender D-La.) has urged shipment of U.S. arms to Cuba to help President. Fulgencio Ba tista's government defeat Fidel Castro and his "bandits." Ellender told a news conference at the U.S. Embassy here Friday that Britain, France, Israel, Italy and Belgium were selling arms to the Cuban government. "If our allies are doing it, why snouian t we? We re all in the same boat," he seid. Ellender, here on his 13th an nual tour of the Caribbean as a member of the Senate Appropri ations Committee, said he saw no evidence of a civil in Cuba. "If there were a raging civil war here I would say no (to the shipment of arms), but not for a few bandits running around burning things. That's not civil war." He said he intended to look into the matter when he returned to Washington.

WALKER I PI Kinnnci.il Editor NEW YORK tl'PIt Stocks during the past week registered gains m all major averages and I but scaled new record highs. The list rose sharply in the Wednesday session after a sub stantial rise on Tuesday, On Thursday, the list started higher and linished lower. The year's highs were too much to scale al one jump, it appeared. I his barrier, how ever, left Wal Street experts with new theories of Ihe future. Many of the experts prearciea a Dreak-lhroush will occur before the new year with the- market closing 1958 in a burst of glory in the traditional year-end rally. Utilities did break through their barrier with the average setting a new 28-year top on Wednesday after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of natural gas companies in laie inaKing practices on Mon day. The utility average had risen steadily for 10 sessions be fore running into opposition. It sagged 0.0'J point on Thursday and came back exacllv that amount on Friday, so that it was able to finish the week at its best level since September of 1930. At the Friday close Ihe industrial average stood at SH2.27 up 5.S2 points from the previous week and down 5.17 points from the all time high; railroad 154.70 up 0.63 on the week hut off 3.21 from the 1958 high; utility 87.95 up 1.48 on the week and at a 28-year high; and 65 stocks 195.91 up 1.94 points on Ihe week but off 1.36 points from the year's high. The other market feature aside from I ho utility rise was being enacted over on the American stock exchange. There, the conv mon shares of Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company were rising by 51 'i points to 536 and the pre ferred by 18 points to 163. The common stock of the company has been split 10 for one and will be traded starting Monday on the big board. This Is a new addition to the companies which have turned from family ownership to public ownership. The other two out standing examples in recent his tory have been the Ford Motor Company and Campbell Soup. Business news generally ruled favorable for the stock market. but Wall Street experts had noted a fair amount of tax selling which was holding the list back. In the Friday session, the Fed eral Reserve Board reported its production index had risen three points in November to a season ally adjusted 141 per cent of the 1947-49 average. The reserve board said the rise was sparked by a major advance automobile production along with widespread gains through out manufacturing. At 141 it com pared with 126 in April, the low ol the depression. It was 2 points above the level of a year ago and only 4 points under the Au gust 197 peak of 145. Stock sales during the week totaled 19.094.914 shares, bringing the year's total to 708.800 856 shares. The daily average trading amounted to 3.818,999 shares. against a daily average of 3.513.092 shares in the previous week. Activity centered on the less conspicuous t h a r . indudinf such stocks as Avco, Sperry Rand, American Motors, Stude-: baker-Packard, Continental Mot-'; ors, electric and musical Indus-; tries, and Parke Davis. Drug issues had a spurt of ' strength early in the week under, the lead of Parke Davis. They faded out later. El Paso Natural Gas was the standout in the natural gas issues. Oils were given a whirl along with the gas issues for a time since most of them are big gas producers. '. MANAGER DIES LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Mrs.-- Hazel Voight, 45, manager for Gov. Goodwin J.
