Senate Dems Attack Key Provision in Emergency Rail Bill
Seven Democrats on the Senate Commerce Committee opposed a central clause of an emergency arbitration bill aimed at averting a national rail strike. They urged unlimited negotiations on minor issues if no deal is reached by a deadline, while unions backed arbitration. The measure proposes a seven member arbitration board to decide two core issues with a 90 day ruling period, and 60 day add ons for remaining items if talks fail. The bill faces a likely floor fight as the strike deadline nears and management sticks to current work rules.

U.S. Surrenders Morocco Base Role for Nuclear Bombers
The United States Air Force will end operations from a $386 million Morocco base complex and withdraw about half the personnel by year end. Morocco will take over as the last B-47s departed around June 1960, with around 2,000 personnel remaining at three bases used since 1953 for strategic deterrence near Russia. The pullout follows Morocco’s independence ending old French base rights and the shift to newer long-range bombers with in-flight refueling capabilities.
