Findings Not Binding
The three-member board made
its report to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower who created it last
Dec. 22 after the brotherhood, rep
resenting mostly road brakemen,
and yard conductors and brake
men, and 175 class No. 1 railroads
failed to settle disputes over pay
and rules.
The board's findings are not
binding on the parties. But un
der the Railway Labor Act there
can be no strike or other changes
in working conditions for 30 days.
Demands Not Fulfilled
The board's recommendations
are less than the union demanded,
and are essentially what the car
riers proposed. The roads agreed
to withdraw three substantial de
mands for revision Of rules in con
sideration for adoption of the pat
tern settlement. The principal un
ion demand was a wage increase
of $3 a day starting immediately.
At the end of three years the
board's roposal would amount to
a raise of $2.12 a day for an eight
hour day.
Million Clipped
Ike's Budget
$5OO
From
WASHINGTON, March 15 (JP)—The House Appropria
tions Committee made its biggest budget cut of the year
today, lopping $516,993,000 from funds requested by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower for 18 independent federal agencies.
The $5,406,201,700 recommended by the committee was
about 8.7 per cent less than the
President asked for the year
starting July 1. The cut was the
biggest made by the committee in
four annual appropriation bills it
has considered tis year.
Some commt tee members,
grumbled privately that the cut
wasn't deep enpugh and there
were indications that the House
might be asked to slash further
when -it considers the bill next
week. - -
Recommendations Approved
To date, the House has followed
the committee'sl money recom
mendations to the dollar, approv-,
ing a total of 556 million dollars,
in deductions from over-all re
quests for $10,30 ,000,000 in three
other bills.
The big cuts in oday's bill were
in funds request d for the Veter
"am Adrninistrati n, the Civil De
fense Adminis tion and the
General Services Administration.
Part in Compensations
Howerever, $149,500,000 of the
reduction in VA funds was in the
veterans compensation and pen
sions budget. Since these pay
ments are a matter of law, Con
gress would be required to fur
nish more money', later if needed.
The VA • request for a larger
amount was based on estimates
which could vary.

THE DAILY
today:
1. U.N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold announced post
ponement of his scheduled trip to
morrow to Egypt.
2. Israeli Foreign Minister Gol
da Meir announced she was flying
from Tel Aviv to Waahington to
night for State Department talks.
3. Maj. Gen. Mohammed Has
san Abdel Latif, Egypt's new
chief of the Gaza Strip, declared
everything there was going "back
to normal, just as it was before
the Israeli aggression."
Any one of these three develop
ments was enough to cause con
cern. Taken together they added
up to potential calamity for U.S.-
UN efforts to pacify the area and
get on with the business of eras
ing poverty, disease and ignor
ance.
The State Department press of
ficer, Lincoln White, speaking to
a news conference before any one
of these developments became
known, obviously was looking
ahead to the next step in seeking
an Arab-Israel settlement.
He reported the department had
called in representatives of five
European governments—all of
them maritime powers— for a
"global review of recent develop
ments."
This included Middle East prob
lems, particularly reopening of
the Suez Canal, he indicated.
It was learned_that the United
States held the conference with
envoys of Britain, France, Italy,
Norway and the Netherlands to
check signals on U.S. policy on
the eve of Hammarskjold's sched
uled visit to Cairo.
