In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
In New York the other dav,
Spanish - speaking woman who
holds U.S. citizenship through
nirtii in Puerto Kico began a court
suit against the New York state
law requiring an ENGLISH lit
eracy lest as a requirement to
. vole.
She is a citizen of the United
States by birth. She has lived
.New York since 1948. She says in
ner suit that as a reader of Span
ish language newspapers and pe
riodicals her understanding of
government and politics is at
least equal to thai of the average
New York adult.
But because she can't pass an
ENGLISH literacy test she can't1
vote. She asks the New York su
preme court to direct the New
Y'ork board of elections either to
register her as a qualified voter
or to provide a literacy test in
SPANISH.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Let's do some supposing. Mrs.
Cardona alleges in her suit that
as a leader of New York Spanish
language ncwspacrs and period
icals her understanding of gov
ernment and politics is at least
equal to that of the average New
York adult.
Let's suppose she lias read in
Spanish in which, of course it is
available the great literature o(
the world.
So let's compare her with a
New Yorker who HEADS ENG
LISH and so is able to keep up
with all 4hc dirt and the scandal
and the fluff 'that make up so
much of our modern day-to-day
reading especially in our modern
megalopolises, such as New Y'ork.
Question:
Which is best equipped to vote?
One fears that a brutally can
did answer wouldn't be very flat
tering to us as a nation.
In Portland the other day, rules
for the use of the Rogue River
trail between Almeda Bridge and
Marial, a distance of 28 miles,
were announced. The decision
was made by Bureau of Land
Management Director Russell E.
Getty after a hearing and a con
ference of interested federal and
state agency people. It restricts
use of the trail for these 26 miles
to hikers.
Horses, other trail stock and
MOTORIZED WHEELED EQUIP
MENT, including motorcycles of
all types, will be barred. One
reason for barring horses is '.hat
forage is rather scarce in that
area, thus necessitating the car
lying of grain for the saddle and
pack animals.
The reason, presumably, for the
barring of "motorized wheeled
equipment" is Uiat the region will
be set apart as a wilderness area
for the use of those who like to
gel as far from civilization as
possible.

End Of Lamb
PORTLAND lUPD The Pacific Northwest's lengthy
lumber strike was all but over today after negotiators
for two striking unions and the Big Six employers' bar
gaining association agreed
night.
The three-year agreement between representatives
of the International Woodworkers of America 1WA and
the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' LSW unions and the
Big Six if ratified by union members would leave
only an estimated 500 men on strike. At one time about
29.000 were idled.
About 6,400 men havei
hnpn nn strike qiuco l.ino
5 against two Big Six com
panies, St. Regis and U.S.
Plywood. The other four
members shut down in re
taliation but reopened last
week.
The proposed contract, which
calls for a 30'2-cent hourly raise
in wises and benefits during the
next three years, w ill be voted on
this week by IWA and LSW work
ers. Results of the referendum
balloting are expected to be an
nounced Sunday afternoon.
At the start of negotiations the
LSW had asked for a 60-cent hour
ly increase and the IWA a 40-ccnt
hike, both spread over three
years.
Another Meeting Set
The unions meet here Thursday
afternoon with the 196-member
Timber Operators Council employ-!
ers' bargaining association. Some
TOC members already have set
tled new contracts.
The contract negotiating session
between the unions and the TOC
was scheduled by federal media
tors following the settlement be
tween the 1WA-LSW representa
tives and the Big Six officials at
7 p.m. They had met olt-and-on
since 9:30 a.m.

Hatfield Comments
Gov. Mark Hatfield issued the
following statement after the set
tlement: "The division within the ranks
of management in the lumber in
dustry indicated the delicacy of
issues involved and the various
ways in which they are affected.
All Oregonians arc relieved that
our economy w ill be restored and
that fire and infestation dangers
will be lessened.
"Rather than imposing itself,
government instead participated
through persuasion and counseled
both sides to continue negotiations
in good faith."
If the Big Six (contract is rati
fied by union members and it is
expected to be the only major
company left on strike would be
the Manasha Plywood Co. at Coos
Bay where about 400 men are
idle. Also still affected are some
boom operations.

WASHINGTON (UPII - The.
touchy railroad work rules dis
pute appeared today to have been
dumped back in the lap of a re
luctant Congress.
Secretary of Labor W. Willard
Wirtz announced Tuesday night
the collapse of collective bargain
ing talks lie had been holding
with union and rail negotiators.
Both Senate and House Com
merce committees, winch had
been considering President Ken
nedy's proposal that the work
rules impasse be settled by Uie
Interstate Commerce Com
mission, suspended action pend
ing outcome of Wirtz' attempt to
get the parties to settle it them
selves. Collapse of the talks indicated
pressure would be back on Con
gress to step into the situation
Accuse Each Other
Both the railroads and the
group of five rail unions in
volved accused each other of fail
ing to bargain realistically. The
situation sounded considerably
like it did late last month when
the railroads agreed to postpone
for 30 days imposition of new
work rules that would eliminate
so-called "fcatherbedding" jobs
and practices and touch off a
strike.
The moratorium on work rules
changes ends Aug. 29.
Hearings by the committees
produced bitter union reaction to
the administration proposal,
w h i c h the railroads have en
dorsed. It was this politically ex
plosive reaction and subsequent
comment from congressmen that
more collective bargaining was in
order that prompted Wirtz to or
ganize the new talks more than
a week ago.
The unexpected breakdown of
the talks came as the railroad
firemen's union assembled 140
members of its policy - making
committee here at the behest of
Wirtz so they would be on hand
to accept any agreement reached
the talks. The group would

hopes the new deadlock could be

Appeals Tp Both
Wirtz appealed to both sides to
consider again changing their
positions and said prospects of
settlement depended entirely on
one side or the other making a
concession.
But J. E, Wolfe, chief railroad
negotiator, said flatly that "a ne
gotiated agreement is hopeless."
H. E. Gilbert, president of the
firemen's union, said Wolfe was
saying "no settlement on other
than our (railroad) terms."

Appraising the overall military
effect of the pact, Seaborg told
the three-committee group con
sidering the treaty:
"There are some risks but they
are minor. In the balance, I
think it is in favor of improving
the security of this country if
you approve the treaty."
Politically, he said he believed
that "the people of the United
States want a treaty of this sort"
and that they "regard it as a
step along the road toward easing
tensions and slowing the arms
race."
His endorsement followed simi
lar strong support given the pact1
by two Kennedy administration
cabinet officers. Secretary ol
State Dean Rusk and Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNamara.
Scaborg said he hoped the U.S..

the future to make way for

GENEVA (UPII - The Unitedj

U.S. negotiator Charles C.

Committee
Okays Cut
WASHINGTON (UPD -The
House Ways It Means Committee
voted 19 to 4 today to cut every
body's income taxes starting
Jan. 1.
The lax rate reductions recom
mended by President Kennedy
would average 20 per cent and
cost the Treasury $9.5 billion in
revenue when fully effective on
Jan. 1, 1965.
The net tax relief would aver
age less than 19 per cent. Sav
ings for some taxpayers would
be reduced by tax-tightening pro
visions. This probably would hold
the net revenue loss from indivi
dual lax relief below $9 billion.
Still facing the committee were
showdown votes on the President's
recommendations for reductions
in corporation tax levies. Ken
nedy's over-all lax program is de
signed to provide net reductions
of $106 billion for both indivi
duals and corporations.
In today's committee action on
individual tax rates the closest
vote came on a Republican move
to make the second stage of the
two-stage tax reduction contingent
upon the size of the national debt
on July 1. 14.
This motion was defeated on a
13 to 12 vote. It was oflered by
Rep. Howard H. Baker. R-Tenn.,
and supported by all of the other
nine Republicans. Two Democrats
jumped party traces to support
tlie motion.
