In Washington, President Ken nedy has asked Congress (or leg islation to liead off the threat ened railway strike by putting the work rules dispute before the Interstate Commerce Commission (or settlement. But that involves (Ve ticklish question of FORCED ARBITRATION. There is a lot o( opposition to forced arbitration. So Congress is apt to take a lot ot time in de ciding whether or not to tackle such a drastic solution. And so on. So Let's turn to the little news. Down in Mill Valley yesterday, Mrs. Genevieve Earl was cutting greens in her garden when she (elt something jab her ankle. She looked down and saw that she was STANDING ON A TWO FOOT LONG RATTLESNAKE! She screamed, and her hus band came running from the house. Fortunately, he knew his snake bite techniques. He applied a tourniquet tieing his handkerchief at the corners, putting it around her ankle above the bite and twisting it tightly to prevent the circulation of blood containing the snake venom. He then dashed back into the house (or a razor blade, with which he made a cut where the snake's (angs had pierced the skin, applied his lips to the wound and sucked out the venom which, of course, he spat out. He rushed his wife to the hos pital, where anti-venom serum was administered to her. She was doing all right at last re ports. It was a good example of know ing what to do in an emergency -and DOING IT QUICKLY. The accepted procedures in the case of a snake bite by a poisonous reptile are to call a doctor but, if no doctor is near, apply a tourniquet above the wound. Then cut open the fang marks with a sterilized knife or razor blade (a flame will sterilize the knife if nothing better is at hand). Apply suction to the cuts to re move the poison and spit it out. The suction may be needed (or about 15 minutes in each hour for several hours. Between these pe riods cover the wound with hot Epsom salt or table salt com presses. If the poison spreads be fore the doctor comes, the ban dage should be moved higher and other cuts made w here the swell ing is bad. Epsom salts and plenty of wa ter may be taken by mouth. Whis key should NOT be given, but in case of collapse the patient may take strong, hot coffee or aro matic spirits o( ammonia every h' If hour. Congratulations to Mr. Earl. He knew what to do and how to do it. So he saved a precious life. Foreign Aid Cut Talked WASHINGTON (UPD - The House Foreign Affairs Committee will be asked to cut U S. eco- nomic aid to India and Pakistan until they settle their Kashmir dispute, it was learned today. Informed sources said the re duction would be proposed as an amendment to President Kenne dy's foreign aid bill, now being considered by the committee in closed sessions. The amendment, sponsored by Rep. William S. . Broomfield, R Mich., would order a 25 per cent slash in planned economic aid for both countries until the Kashmir issue is resolved. This would cut assistance to India to about $300 millioi. U.S. aid to Pakistan would be cut to about $175 million. India and Pakistan have been quarreling since the turn of the decade over control of Kashmir, an area in the Himalayas with a population of four million people and 82,258 square miles of terri tory. A cease-fire was affected by the United Nations, which named a commission to arrange a plebiscite, but controvry vn tinues over withdrawal of troops and the land remains divided. Solons By WILLIAM J. EATON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) Democratic congressional leaders said after a meeting with President Kennedy today that "every effort will be made" to get approval of his proposal to break the railroad impasse before a threatened strike materializes. The leaders shied away the bill might be approved but Senate Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., said "prospects look favorable" for passage of the legislation to Interstate Commerce Commission for binding determination. Mansfield told reporters at the White House that he hoped the Senate Commerce Committee, which plans evening hearings if neces sary, will approve a bill be fore the end of this week. Rail unions have threatened a strike next Tuesday. "We will act as expeditiously as possible," Mansfield said. Speaker John W. McCormack WASHINGTON (UP1 Here is the way President Kenne dy's proposed plan to avert a railroad strike would work: On date of congressional enactment, the railroads could impose new work rules only with the Interstate Commerce Commission's approval or mod ification. These would become "interim rules" to be ef fective for two years from the date of the ICC's approv al, unless the disputing par tics reach agreement in the meantime through collective bargaining. The unions would be barred from striking over these issues from the date of congressional enactment through the two-year lifetime of the interim rulesr The ICC would be instructed to act on the rules change requests with in 120 days of filing or as soon thereafter as possible. Any strike by unions or lockout by management In an effort to circumvent the inter im rules would be subject to federal ntiir' injunctions to force compliance, , Any ICC decision would be subject to court appeal. agreed with Mansfield's assess ment. McCormack said the consensus at today's weekly breakfast con ference of legislative leaders with Kennedy was "that every effort will be made to have as early ac- Musa Picks Orchardist SALEM (UPD Temporary Gov. Ben Musa today named Ralph W. Perry Sr., 65, a semi- retired Hood River orchardist, to the State Public Welfare Commis sion. It is the first time since Gov Mark Hatfield has been in office that a substitute governor has made an appointment to a stale board or commission. Musa. president of the Oregon Senate, has full powers when Hat field is out of state. The senate president said today he recalled that a temporary gov ernor years ago had appointed a circuit judge. Sen. Walter J Pearson pardoned a murderer w ho was serving lime in the Ore eon penitentiary when he was temporary governor in HlfiO. Hatfield, who is in Miami at tending the National Governor's Conference, was unaware of to day's appointment. Warne Nunn, Hatfield's admin istrative assistant said he "wouldn't recognize Perry if he walked in the door. ' "I think the governor will be real happy with this appointment Musa said this morning. He explained the naming of the new commissioner wasn't aimed at embarrasing Hatfield. , "I just wanted to add to the stature of that commission. I think I'll be complimented for doing a good job," Musa declared. Pledge Support for from any forecast of when turn over the dispute to the tion as possible to have speedy action." While Democratic leaders lined up behind the proposal by the President to allow the ICC to im pose no-strike rail work rules tor two years, Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, III., also backed it w ith some reservations. But other lawmakers, including Sen. Barry Goldwalor, R-Ariz.. attacked the measure as thinly disguised compulsory arbitration and rail unions indicated they would fight its passage. Moving swiftly on the proposed legislation, the Senate Commerce Committee scheduled hearings for 2 p.m., EDT. today with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz as the leadoff witness. Hearings Start Wednesday Chairman Oren Harris, D-Ark., said the House Commerce Com mittee would open its hearings on the emergency bill Wednesday. The Senate is due to act on the bill ahead of the House. Spokesmen for the nation's rail roads indicated they might not place strike-triggering work rule changes into effect Monday mid night if Congress is about to en act a law disposing of the four- year-old dispute. But the deadline still stood as consideration ot tne President's proposals began. Kennedy asked for a law to empower the 11-member ICC to approve, veto or modify new work rules demanded by the railroads over union protest. Union de mands also could be submitted to the ICC for similar action. Unions would be barred from striking over these issues or over ICC-imposcd rules during a two- year period. Any labor-management agreements on the rules would nullify the ICC's action. 120 Days to Act The measure would require the ICC to act within 120 days if pos sible on the two major issues in dispute use of firemen on diesel freight and yard locomo tives and the makeup of train crews. Other issues, chiefly the rail road proposal for lowering wage rates in an overhaul of the pay system, could be taken to the ICC for settlement after expiration of a 60-day period set aside for re newed negotiations between un ions and management. Rails Seek Added Taxes WASHINGTON UPH-Railroad and union representatives have secretly agreed to ask Congress to levy millions of dollars in high er payroll taxes on railroads and their workers, inlormanls report ed today. The extra revenue is needed to help save the railroad retirement fund from banKrupicy. ruiure benefits that the fund is required to pay out far exceed anticipated tax revenue. Ironically, railroad labor and management quietly reached the reported agreement on the pay roll tax legislation at the very time that they were deadlocked over the work rules issue that threatens a nalionwide rail strike. The main leature of the pay roll proposal would boost to S450 a month the earnings base to which the railroad retirement lax and unemployment compensation tax is applied. Both taxes apply now only to the first WOO in monthly earnings. The railroads and their employes contribute equal amounts to the retirement fund. But only the railroads pay into the jobless pay fund. Both funds are in serious financial trouble. inniirMiTtSiniii mk mkfjMf v kSl tej&j mm--, is. YOUNGSTERS READING UP A STORM Youngsters in the first through sixth grades have been doing some heavy reading this summer in the city library's summer reading program that started June 10 and lasts until Aug. 10. About 250 are participating and have read 2,000 books so far. There is almost an unlimited variety of juvenile books at the library, including science, fiction, history and biography, to keep the children interested. The theme of the program this summer is "U.S. Presi dents," and when a youngster completes a book he places the face of a U.S. president on his reading card. Chil dren with 10 presidents on their cards will receive a cer Russians Range Fires Underscore Forest State By United Press International Three large forest and range fires in the Baker area and sev eral smaller ones in other regions Monday underscored increasing fire danger in Oregon, especially east of the Cascades. All the blazes were reported under control today and mop-up operations were under way. The Bureau of Land Manage ment said a 1,500-acre fire eight miles northeast of Baker was con trolled Monday afternoon. Much of the scorched area was range- land. A second fire burned 1.000 acres, mostly rangeland, south cast of the city. The third blaze, in the Wallowa- Whitman National Forest 14 miles northeast of Baker, was being mopped up today by 285 fire fighters after it burned 600 acres of timber and rangeland. Another stubborn fire about three miles east of Shady Cove in Jackson County was brought under control Monday night Forty men worked in h e avy brush, timber and a rocky area to halt the flames alter they burned about 55 acres. State for estry officials also reported six other small lires in various parts of the state. Continued fair weather was forecast for Eastern Oregon to day, but clouds and showers were expected tonight and Wednesday. Missing Plane Reward Offered COOS BAY 'UPI i The Coos Bay Aviation Association today odered a $1,000 reward (or the finding of a missing sinple-engine Piper Tri-Pacer plane which vanished on a flight from Gold Beach to North Bend Friday night. The craft carried Charles Stamper, 37, of Coos Bay. Coast guard and private planes resumed the search today. Grab Initiative UNITED NATIONS, N Y. (UPD Russia today seized t h e first available chance to leap into the Securily Council debale on t h e overseas policies of Portugal, a member of the North Atlantic Al liance. Without waiting for presenta tion of the case against Portugal to be completed by the four Afri can countries designated to do by the recent Addis Ababa conference, Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko inscribed himself to speak at this after noon's council meeting. The council's hearing of the unanimous demand of .12 African countries for U.N. discipline of Portugal and South Africa for re pression of natives began tensely Monday under doubled securily precautions. A brief sit-in at U.S. delegation headquarters was led by William Worthy, a reporter for the Balti more Afro-American, to demand Washington's support for the ex-' pulsion of South Africa from the United Nations because of its ra cial policy of apartheid a de GOP Governors Pledge Civil Rights Renewal MIAMI BEACH (UPI '-Republican governors promised today to keep the civil rights dispute be fore the annual conference of state executive even though they were overwhelmed in the first test on that issue. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller oi New York, leader of the cam paigns lo get the governors' con ference to issue a civil rights declaration, tried to lay responsi bility directly on President Ken nedy for Monday's conference vote to shelve the issue. The vote came on adoption a'. a rules change to junk the reso lutions committee and abolish the entire resolutions process which has caused increasing controver sy in the conference during the past four years. The 33 to IB vote was almost a straiglvt party line count with a single dcfeclor Democratic Gov. William A Egan of Alaska sided with the Republicans against tlie new rule. To Try New Tactics Republican governors immedi ately began searching for parlia mentary tactics to force one or more additional roll call on the Ml Rail Plan tificate of accomplishment at the end of the program. Readers are also required to write a brief book report after finishing each volume. At the end of the program the library will hold a party for the readers with cartoon films, and ice cream for refreshment. The librarians say that this has been more successful than the previous summer reading programs. On the left, Dan and Ed Maloney, 716 Roseway Drive, compare notes on some of their favorite books.

Stevenson told Worthy's delegation that U S, policy would be unfolded after tho Africans put forward specilic de- mands for U.X. action. The Africans limited them selves Monday to demanding un specified action against Portugal and South Africa lest the other African stales are moved to act against the two countries on their own. J. Rudolf Grimes, foreign min ister of Liberia, opened the case. He and Foreign Minister Mongi Slim of Tunisia, who also spoke Monday, together with represen tatives of Madagascar and Sier ra Leone, were designated by the Addis Ababa conference to argue the case here Finance Minister Victor Miad - ana of Madagascar was sched uled to speak today and Foreign Minister John harcla-Smail of Siena Leone Wednesday as the council devoted its debale first to the Portuguese question. civil rights issue. Another party caucus was called for the lunch break today. The revised agenda for the con ference called for talk without ac tion on civil rights this afternoon. This debating session was pro grammed by Gov. Albert D. Ro sellini of Washington, conference chairman, in one of the Demo cratic moves lo defuse the civil rights issue. Rosellini and other Democrats argued that any civil rights reso lution adopted by tlie conference would he meaningless, might cause it to flounder in a Southern Democratic filibuster and even break up the organization. ''Shortsighted Move" But Rockefeller said Monday's vote w.is "a tragically short sighted move" which had "gagged" the governors and un dermined the states. He said it was incredible that the Democrat ic President had done nothing to stop the action of the Democratic governors. The political benefits, if any gained by Rockefeller at this con- lerence cannot be measured. fin UN. Hoffa Case Court Test Scheduled NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPll-Ar- gumcnts were scheduled before U.S. District Judge Frank Gray Jr. today on the validity of an indictment charging Teamsters President James R. Hoffa with jury tampering. This was one of 12 issues raised by the defense in pre-trial mo- l,ions -'"S dismissal of the in- diriment or a change of venue Four of the issues were resolved in favor of the government Mon clay when Gray overruled one of Hoffa s two dismissal motions. Hoffa and ten others arc ac cused of tampering with the jury which tried the union leader's $1 million conspiracy trial which ended in a mistrial here last year. All have pleaded innocent, Among the other issues to be resolved at the pre-trial hearings are whether government repre sentatives arc guilty of illegal conduct in the case, whether the defendants should be granted sep arate trials in another city and whether the defense is entitled to transcripls of grand jury testi mony. Defense attorneys charged Mon day that U.S. Dist. Judge William E. Miller, trial judge in the con spiracy case, had made prejudi cial slalcmcnls about the defend ants and that special assistants to U.S. Atty. Gen. Robert Kenne dy had come here from Washing Ion to do a "hatchet job" on Hoffa. Attorney Joe Binklcy of Nash ville charged that Miller found defendant Ewing King, president of Teamsters Local 327 here, guil ty in statements the judge made in declaring a mistrial in the con spiracy case last Dec. 2.1 At that time, Miller said he had received evidence that "close la bor union associates" of Hoffa at tempted to contact and influence members of the jury Attorney Z. T. Osborn said that from Miller's statements and ac tions, the judge Intimated that Hoffa was "circumstantially re sponsible" for the alleged jury tampering efforts, "By HENRY United Press MOSCOW (UPI) The Britain today ended historic talks that diplomatic sources said sealed final agreement to end East-West nuclear tests in space, in the atmosphere and underwater. The major nuclear powers were expected to initial the agreement Wednesday, munist leaders convene for signed to close Red ranks against Communist China. The East-West talks that diplomatic sources said might prove to be one of the major disarmament break throughs in the post war pe riod ended at 6:30 a.m. PDT. The negotiators plunged immediately into additional discussions on other topics that could thaw the cold war. Presidential trouble-shooter V Averell Harriman, Britain's Science Minister Lord Hailsham and Soviet Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko dismissed their ad visers and discussed "other mat ters ot mutual interest." Although Harriman and Hail sham came to Moscow with au thority only to work out agree ment on a nuclear test ban, the informal discussions which fol lowed their formal bargaining could lead to talks settling addi tional issues. Wants Risk Eliminated President Kennedy was report- ed to have asked Harriman to sound out tlie Soviets on Premier Nikila Khrushchev's proposal that East and west exchange observ ers who would report from stra tegic areas to cut tlie risk of surprise attack. Gromyko also was expected to1 sound out privately the private views oi the two key Western Al lies on Khrushchev's call for talks that could lead to a lull treaty,, ot non-aggression between the Western Alliance and Communist Warsaw Pact nations Diplomatic sources said the, possibility of a Berlin settlement also might be discussed, perhaps pegged to another Khrushchev proposal that Allied officials serve with Communist forces in East Germany while Soviet offi cials serve with Allied forces in West Germany. Major snag to tlie proposed agreement o n a non-aggression pact between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and th War saw Pact nations was the West ern fear that it might mean rec ognition of Communist East Ger many. Fear Rights Imperiled Such recognition, some Western diplomats feared, might imperil Allied rights in West Berlin. As the negotiators wound up the nuclear talks, sources in Washing ton said Secretary of State Dean Rush plans to fly to Moscow with a bipartisan delegation of congres sional leaders to initial the agree ments.
