President Kennedy's White House talks with railroad management and unions race to avert a looming five day walkout set to begin Monday. Yardmen at three terminals would strike at 6 am, risking shutdowns of steel mills and related facilities including Republic Steel plants in Cleveland and mines south of Pittsburgh. The unions seek a 40 hour week with pay preserved and wage boosts, while the railroads resist an 18 cent settlement, demanding higher increases elsewhere.
