Lincoln's 150th Birthday Fete Marked by Joint Congress WASHINGTON (A’) In some ways Congress hasn’t changed since Abraham Lincoln was a one term representative 110 years ago. It investigated things then and it's still in the investigating busi ness. What, for example, would Lincoln have thought of the batteries of television cameras that will cover today's joint ses sion of the Houes and Senate— a joint session called to mark his 150th birthday anniversary? Abe Lincoln was a gangling, bony, clean-shaven man not yet 40 when he was elected as a Whig to the 30th Congress. He repre sented an Illinois district that still was pretty much in the back woods. From 1847 to 1849, Lin coln held that House seat, and did not try for renomination. For a period, he was a member of a committee that investigated what had been done about erect ing a marble monument ordered by Congress to commemorate the surrender of British forces at Yorktown m the Revolutionary War.

After the meeting Makarios told Athens newsmen: “The agreement reached lays the foundation for an immediate and final solution to the Cyprus issue considering that Cyprus will become an independent sovereign state.” The Greek Orthodox leader might construe as a limit on Cypriot independence these two provisions* 1. A permanent ban on the is land’s ever joining Greece or Turkey. 2. A small Turkish troop con tingent will join a much larger body of Greek soldiers and the British garrisons in occupying the island’s strategic military bases. Other sections provide for a Greek Cypriot president and a Turkish Cypriot vice president; a legislative assembly, 70 per cent Greek and 30 per cent Turkish; and separate Greek and Turkish communal assemblies to handle internal matters such as educa tion.

UP)—' The pos sibility of a national vail trans portation tieup was raised yester day by Daniel Loomis, president of the Assn, of American Rail roads. “A strike could come sometime early next year. We cannot bury our heads in the sand,’' Loomis told the National Assn, of Ship pers Advisory Boards. At the same time Loomis said the rail industry planned a head and-head fight with unions to change some rules governing rail road workers. He charged “featherbedding” was ruining the railroads and added “featherbedding was a fes tering and cancerous growth.” The industry spokesman sug gested union leaders join railroad management and ask President Eisenhower to name a nonparti san commission to study work rules. From Washington, A. E. Lyon secretary-treasurer of the Railway Labor Executives A,ssn, said Loomis’ comments sounded like the opening gun in upcoming la bor negotiations. Lyon rejected [the idea of a proposed govern imental commission.
