indicated a decision might
come soon.
Here to address a strike call
which would idle more than 25,000
non-operating employes from New
York to St. Louis, Quill conferred
with fellow union leaders. They
were to decide whether the presi
dent's council of the TWU's rail
road division should be convened
to consider an earlier walkout.
Quill, through a spokesman. said
yesterday morning that nothing
definite had been decided.
A little later, before meeting
with Mayor Richardson Dilworth
about another matter, Quill com
mented only that "I am trying to
knock some sense into the situa
tion."
The dispute, as explained by a
spokesman, was over work as
signments.
Work rules. especially the scope
rule which defines job classifica
tions, are the chief issue in a dis
pute of three years standing
climaxed last week by Quill's
statement that a strike was im
evitable "because this is the end
of the line."
The TWU says it cannot com
promise the work rules question
lest its members be dispossessed
by automation and frequent fur
loughing.
As for wages, the union seeks a
35-cents-an-hour increase. Present
rates, under a contract continued
after the Nov. 1 expiration, are
$2.17 to $2.65 an hour.
Congressmen Say Khrushchev
Torpedoed Summit Conference
WASHINGTON ,6 1 P)— Con
gressmen said yesterday So
viet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev coldbloodedly blew up
the summit conference be
cause he really didn't ,want to
negotiate and because he wanted
an excuse to keep President Ei
senhower from visiting, the Soviet
Union.
On all sides, _Republicans and
Democratic senators and House
members deplored what they said
was Khrushchev's insulting treat
ment of Eisenhower.
Many said they had had little
advance hope the summit talks
would lead to much good, and
also that Khrtishchev's bull-in
the-shop actions, as they de-
Scribed them, confirmed their
misgivings.
Sen. Theodore Francis Green
(D-RI), chairman emeritus of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said Khrushchev "has
cruelly dashed 'the hopes of hun
dreds of millions that at least
some slight progress toward a re
laxation of international tensions
could be made."

over the spy plane, Scott opined,
and "has obviously decided the
most damaging rebuttal to his
posturings would be the presence
in Russia of President Eisenhow

Telephone Charges
To Be Investigated
HARRISBURG (JP) The Public Utility Commission
yesterday put in motion a full-scale investigation of the Bell
Telephone Co.'s rate structure.
The commission said the investigation will determine
whether Bell should be ordered -to reduce rates for its
2,577,474 subscribers.
The PUC decided on the inves
tigation after studying financial
reports indicating Bell's net earn
ings for the year ended March 31
had risen to 6.2 per cent.
When a $13,400,000 increase was
granted the firm in 1956, it was
based on a 5.9 per cent net figure.
The difference was estimated at !
about $2.5 million.
A Bell spokesman said that the
company hoped the commission,
in the course of any rate check.
would examine "earnings peaks
and earnings valleys ... together."
"When they are so examined,"
said the spokesman, "the record
shows that Bell Company's aver
age earnings for the past 14 post
war years have not come up to
the level of earnings allowed by
the PUC in any of our rate cases."
Bell in recent years has spent
imany millions of dollars in im
proving and increasing telephone
service to its Pennsylvania cus
tomers.
The PUG directed Bell to be
ready within 30 days after official
notice to meet with commission
ers for a preliminary discussion
