In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK .1KNKINS
The news today?
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.

Let's put it this way:
We'd a lot rather have the
communists muttering in their
beards about what they're going
lo do to each other than GET
TING TOGETHER and talking
happily about what they're going
to do to US.
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

except for some re-phrasing.

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.

legislation to settle the strike

work rules.
This followed a session by the

management leaders after which

way to resolve the four-year-old
impasse which threatened a na
tional strike July 30.

.. 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.

gation besides Johnson, Senate

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.

MOSCOW (UPD-U.S., British
and Russian negotiators opened
the second week of nuclear talks
today amid indications they would I

nuclear test ban by the end of
the week.
- The meeting . seventh in the
tlicoe-oucr .negotiations that be
gan b week ago opened at 3,
p.m. in Moscow s Spindpnovka
Palace.
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
