It's rather heavily loaded with meetings of one sort or another, what has been happening at them and what the consequences are likely to be. First in importance, of course, is the big communist pow-wow at Moscow. It seems to have ended in an agreement to disagree. As this is written, the Chinese are picking up their toys and heading for home muttering threats into what in China passes for beards.

What about the Russians? A dispatch from Moscow tells us that late yesterday Premier Khru shchev and U.S. Undersecretary of. SJate Harriman held a sur prise, hour-long meeting amid strong indications that the U.S., Britain and Russia are on the verge of initialing a limited test ban agreement. Russia's Mr. Kroosh and our Mr Harriman had gone to Lenin Sta dium to watch Russian and American athletes compete in a track meet. After the meet was over, Mr. K invited Harriman and U.S. Ambassador Kohler to a lit tle reception room in the stadium behind his box. What happened there? The dispatch adds: There were no immediate details on what took place at the meet ing, but the atmosphere was out wardly friendly, as it has been since the test ban talks got un der w ay a week ago. Reports have come from both Washington and Moscow that a treaty to ban nu clear tests in the atmosphere, un der water and in space is ready except for some re-phrasing. I - :i .... f ' f ..!

On this side of the big water, one of the interesting stories comes from Miami Beach, Flori da, where the governors of our American states are gathered for their 55th annual conference. What are the governors doing' As this is written, two princi' pal activities are apparent: 1. The governors, more or less without exception, are assuming postures that might lead the lightning to hit them when the big political conventions come along next year. 2. Most of them are taking pot shots at Senator Goldwater thus indicating that among the hopefuls Goldwater is universally regarded as the man to beat.

HOOD RIVER (UPIi-Tliree in jured mountain climbers were brought down off the slopes of 11.245-foot Mt. Hood this morning after a 1,500-foot fall Sunday. Two of the men. Dr. Eberhard H. Gloeckler and Dr. Mark Han schka, both of Portland, were re ported in satisfactory condition at Hood River Memorial Hospital. Attendants said they apparently escaped with some fractures and many cuts and bruises. The third climber. Portland at torney Robert Shoemaker, was least seriously injured. Mountain rescue units worked throughout the night to carry the two doctors down from the 10, 000 - foot level on the mountain. The rescue teams reached them about 9 p.m. Sunday night, but it took nearly eight hours to get them to a hospital. Shoemaker reached here at 7 a.m. 10 hours later. The men were climbing with a large group of Mazamas. a Port land alpine organization, when they fell on the icy face of Cooper Spur to Elliott Glacier on the mountain's north side. The three were roped together and were descending Irom (he top of the mountain to Cloud Cap Inn about noon. Dr. Hanschka slipped tirst, followed by Shoemaker. Dr. Gloeckler, the anchor man, was unable to hold them. They tum bled head over heels down the icy chute and landed on the gla cier. The accident occurred at almost the same spot where Colin Cliis holm. Laic Grove, and his son, Douglas, rode out an avalanche in a 2.000-foot plunge in 1961. Richard Knutson. Portland, fell more than 1.000 feet in the same area last fall. About 35 persons, headed by Crag Rats and Alpinees of Hood River, took part in the rescue op erations. Word of the accident was brought out by other mem bers of the climbing party. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPU -Black Africa readied its diplo matic power today lor a cam paign to force Security Council discipline of Portugal and South Africa. Portugal's policies in its over teas territories and South Alri; ca's practice "of racial separation or apartheid shared the agenda of the council session summoned this afternoon at I he request 'nf 32 African countries, the continent's entire U.N. mem bership except for South Africa. The Portuguese problem was scheduled lo be dealt with first. But interest centered on the South African racial situation, which brought demands for an arms and oil embargo, enforced by a blockade, if necessary, and hints that a formal move might be made for South Africa's ex pulsion from the United Nations. South Africa, whose Prime Minister Henryk F. Vorwoerd has hinted that his government might quit the United Nations, will not he present officially at the coun cil meetings, which are expected to run two weeks lo a month.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy unveiled today to Republican and Democratic con gressional leaders his proposed legislation to settle the strike threatening dispute over train work rules. This followed a session by the President with rail union and management leaders after which carrier spokesman said com pulsory arbitration was the only way to resolve the four-year-old impasse which threatened a na tional strike July 30. Kennedy discussed his proposals lor linal disposal ol me contro versy with Vice President Lyndon iB. Johnson and 20 House and Sen ate leaders. .. After the earlier session with negotiators for both sides in the deadlocked dispute, a railroad spokesman said -there was no hope of reaching a last minute agree ment. The President outlined the legis lation to be submitted to Con gress later today at the bipar lisan congressional meeting and prepared to brief the disputing parties on the proposals before it goes to Capitol Hill. Heading the congressional dele gation besides Johnson, Senate presiding officer, were Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans field, Mont., and his Republican counterpart, Sen. Everett M. Dirk sen, 111., and Speaker John Mc Cormack, Mass., and GOP House Leader Charles Halleck, Ind., J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the railroads, said after meeting with Kennedy at the White House that a bill providing compulsory arbitration of the controversy is the "only w ay to avoid a strike. Wolfe said the railroads would wait until 12:01 a.m. (local time) July 30 before putting into effect new work rules that union lead ers have warned will trigger a nationwide walkout. This would be a 24-hour post ponement of a previous deadline which had been expected on July 29. It would give another day to act on the President's legislative proposal. Secretary of Labor W. Wil lard Wirtz participated in today's meetings. Last-minute efforts by Wirtz to mediate the dispute collapsed Sunday night and left Kennedy with no choice but to carry out his pledge to seek a law to re solve the four-year-old controver sy and block a walkout. There was no official indication of what kind of legislation Ken ncdy would request. Observers' said, however, they expected a two-step procedure would be rec ommended lo provide an addition al period for mediation. That would be followed by arbitration of unsettled issues. This was the approach Wirtz recommended earlier for settling the two main issues use of fire men on diesel freight or yard trains and make-up of train crews. That proposal was accept ed by the railroads and rejected by the union. There was speculation that Kennedy might ask for legislation that would deal only with these issues in the belief that others could be settled without difficulty afterward. - - Many congressional leaders have said that a week is not enough time for them to act on the railroad legislation. Any re quest for compulsory arbitration of the dispute would arouse strong opposition in the House and Senate and be fought by the rail unions and the AFL-CIO. Trainmen union President Charles Luna charged Sunday night that the railroads never in tended lo negotiate and were try ing to obtain their demands through government intervention.

Diplomats, encouraged by Pre-j micr Nikita S. Khrushchev's statement that "an agreement is in sight," predicted that an East- West treaty banning underwater, atmospheric and outer space nu clear tests would be initialed in a few days. The U.S., British, and Soviet ne gotiators were reported so far along on the test ban issue that their talks have turned to other cold war problems, including measures to guard against sur prise attack. Khrushchev discussed this Sun day in a meeting with Undersec retary of Stale W. Avcrell Harri man, the American nuclear dele gale. They talked in a private room behind Khrushchev's Lenin Stadium box, where Harriman watched the U.S.-Sovict track meet Sunday. It was understood they dis cussed Khrushchev's offer for an exchange of inspectors as a means of safeguarding against sudden troop movements or build ups. The inspectors would be sta tioned at key points on the terri tory of opposing nations. Harriman and -British negotia tor Lord Hailsham were expect ed to discuss the subject with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko today. Khrushchev, who frequently has denounced Western on-site inspec tion proposals as attempts at es pionage, brought up his inspec tion plan in a speech Friday. On Saturday, he said at a reception tollowmg that day s negotiations: The talks are going well. No obstacles have been encountered so far. If they continue as they have so far, agreement is in sight." These indications of Soviet will ingness to come to a settlement, when viewed alongside Moscow's repudiation of the Peking hard line in foreign policy, added to the optimism already felt by dip lomats here. They said there appeared to be no barriers to a test ban of nu clear explosions in the atmos phere, outer space, and under water. Diplomats' stressed, however, that the agreement, even if ap proved, 6till means only limited progress on the testing issue. .
