come tomorrow or the next
day. But it hasn't been initialed
yet.
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.

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.

ment. McCormack said the consensus
at today's weekly breakfast con

Kennedy was "that every effort

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.
