Kennedy, Nixon Discuss
Communist Rule in Cuba
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (IP)—Sen. John F. Kennedy told the
American Legion Tuesday' that "Cuba_has been lost to the
Communists" under the administration of which Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon is a part. Nixon followed through
with a proposal to "quarantine the Castro regime" as "an
Rail Workers
Submit Dispute
To President
WASHINGTON (iP) The na
tion's railroads and the men who
operate the trains.agreed yester
day to submit their hot dispute
over work rules and practices to
a presidential commission.
Secretary of Labor James P.
itchell, who negotiated the
agreement, wrung concessions
from both sides.
The agreement ended, at least
through next year, any threat of
a strike over what railroad man
agers call featherbedding—de
fined as work rules and practices
which they contend require the
carriers to employ unneeded men.
The railroads have been urging
a presidential commission to look
into the matter, and insisting its
recommendations be binding on
both sides.
On the other hand, the operat
ing brotherhoods have opposed
such a commission.
Under the agreement, the com
mission's recommendations will
not be binding.
Mitchell told a news confer
ence, however, that while any
unsolved problems could be put
before a presidential fact-finding
board under the Railway Labor
Act, he felt it was unlikely this
would be necessary.
"This is a monumental step for
ward in one of our bAsic indus
tries," Mitchell said. "This is an
indication of maturity in labor
management relations."
Spokesmen for the railroads
and the unions hailed the agree
ment, too.
"We wholeheartedly welcome
this presidential study commis
sion as a major contribution to
the public welfare."
Lodge Predicts
Negro on Cabinet
ALBANY, N.Y. UP) Henry
Cabot Lodge predicted flatly
yesterday that a Negro would be
appointed to the Cabinet if Vice
President Richard M. Nixon were
elected president.
Lodge, Republican candidate
for vice president, accused Sen.
John F. Kennedy. the Democratic
presidential candidate. of "pussy
footing and dodging" the contro
versial issue, in which Lodge has
ben embroiled for a week.
"Let him declare where he
stands. If he's against it, let him
say so," Lodge asserted to news
men at Albany Airport.

intolerable cancer."
The Democratic and Republi
can candidates for president spoke
: half an hour apart at the annual
convention of the legion.
Before an organization vital—
ly concerned with American
power and military strength the
two took the same stances they
have occupied all along:
Kennedy "No amount of ora
tory, no amount of claims, no un
justified charges can hide the
harsh fact that behind the rhetoric
—behind the soothing words that
our prestige has never been high
er and Communist prestige never
lower, American strength relative
to that of the Sino-Soviet bloc
has been slipping and that com
munism has beeh advancing
steadily in every area of the world'
until the Iron Curtain now rests
on the island of Cuba only 90
miles from this city of Miami."
Nixon "Whatever we may
think of American strength to
day, and I happen to know and
Mr. Khrushchev knows, we are.
the strongest nation in the worldd,
and we're going to stay that way;.
whatever we think of Ameri-'
can strength today, we can never :
stand pat because we are faced ,
with a ruthless enemy. It is es
sential that America increase its:
strength."
Each touched on Quemoy and
Matsu, Latin America, Cuba and
America's military strength.
Nixon added some topics that
Kennedy didn't mention. He
struck at Kennedy's views on ad
mitting Red China to the United
.Nations under certain conditions.
He said if he were president he
would consider ordering Amer
iica's first veto in the UN Secu
rity Council of any efforts to ad
mit the Chinese Communists until
they purge themselves by actions
of offenses against world law.

American
Convicted
By Reds
VIENNA, Austria 01 1 ) A
young American tourist :said yes
terday he was convicted of es
pionage in the Soviet Union af
ter he admitted traveling through
;the country to gather material for
a book on the Kremlin's prepara
tions for war.
The tourist, Mark I, Kaminsky,
28, whose family lives on a farm
near Niles, Mich., arrived here
Monday night from the Soviet
Union, where he received a 7-
year sentence Sept. 16 on spy
.charges. The sentence was sus
pended and he was expelled along
with his traveling companion.
Harvey C. Bennett, 26, of Tracy.
Calif.
"They told me it would be. fool
ish not to plead guilty," Kaminsky
told a news conference. "They
gave me a lawyer. He was not of
much assistance, but he cheered
me up. He advised me to confess
to the charge wholeheartedly and
tell the court I felt very remorse:
ful. He stressed the part about
'remorseful' time and again."
"I did not carry out espionage
nor did I confess to espionage,"
he said. "I did confess though that
I was getting material for a hook."
He explained later that under,
Soviet law it is considered espio
nage to gather the material he
collected "such facts as that
there are soldiers everywhere in
Russia." He said the subject of
the survey was: "The Soviet
Union Talks Peace While Prepar
ing for War."
He added that he took pictures
of soldiers. radio antennae and
trains but not for espionage pur
poses. The photographs were con
fiscated,
Kaminsky, a big ,heavyset man
in a light blue suit, said Russians
had treated him well although
they subjected him to question
l.ing up to eight hours a day.
He said they extracted a prom
:ise from him 'not to write the
book, but he wasn't certain what
he would do now.

Union To
GE Strike
NEW YORK VP) Leaders of
the 17-day strike against the Gen
eral Electric Co. yesterday called
for an end of the walkout this
week. They , told their negotiators
to accept whatever terms they
see fit.
The top echelon of the Inter
national Union of Electrical
Workers added in its directive to
the negotiators: "If the negotiat
ing committee is unable to con
clude a settlement by Oct. 23, an
other conference board meeting
will be held Oct. 26."
The conference board is
composed of leaders of all lUE
locals in General Electric. It is
the governing body of the un
ion .in a strike situation.
In waiving its prerogative of
deciding on settlement terms, the
,board made it possible for the
negotiators to accept GE truce
: terms which already have split
the union.
The union crisis came to a head
Monday when more than 8000
members of the lU's key local
301 defied their national leader
ship and went back to work at
GE's headquarters plant in Sche
nectady.
GE has offered to continue
present contract terms, with

gotiating a new contract. First
to accept the truce proposal
was Schenectady Local 301.
The lUE called 77,000 members
out of 55 GE plants Oct. 2 in a
demand for a wage increase of
3 1 / 2 per cent per year. Present
wages average $2.30 to $2.40 per

another 4 per cent in the spring

for abolition of the cost-of-living
clause in the current contract.
