Called To Consider Latest Contract Offer
Washington June 15 Heads of three operating rail unions called 500 rank and file members to Washington June 27 to consider the railroads latest contract offer in the long deadlocked dispute. Leaders of the engineers firemen and conductors declined to discuss the offer though it was understood to be the same as that accepted May 25 by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Under that agreement road service men would receive a wage increase of 38 12 cents an hour and those in yard service 33 cents. The major difficulty has been over adoption of the 40 hour work week and changes in operating rules the rail roads want to put into effect.

United States wary of cease fire with China in Korea
Washington reports indicate the United States opposes a direct cease-fire with Communist China while signaling openness to negotiations. Officials say Red China’s fighting power must weaken on the battlefield before any new proposals. Dean Rusk outlined the American position during meetings with 16 nations allied in Korea. Britain floated reviving a UN appeal, but Washington resisted. A Truman report to the UN secretary general was suggested as an alternative, with terms kept general. Acheson said a truce near Korea’s 38th parallel could be acceptable if it includes guarantees against further aggression.
