Gain Seen
In Work
For Area
By BOBBIE BROUSSARD
There was a gain of 200 persons
employed1 in the Change area dur-
ing the pest month with a con'
tinued moderate employment rise
indioated by employers in Orange
end Jefferson counties.
According to the local office of
the Texas Employment Commis
sion, this gain brought the total es-
timate of wage arid salary workep
to 14,800 as unemployment dipped
accordingly, with the figure lower-
ed by mid-March to 2,000 from last
month's 2,200.
Retail trade led the Increase as
additional workers were added for
pre-Easter buying. Contract con-
struction followed c 1 o s e*l y with
more craftsmen employed oh com-
mercial building projects.
Fabricated metals reported
gains when the awarding of new
contracts resulted in the recall of
employes previously laid off. Pe-
troleum products snowed a mod-
erate incline with the adding of
employes for a new unit of a local
plant. . v
The employment gains in the
counties were- favorable but

the local accepted the contract in
a unanimous vote. They are the
second such Sabine Area construc-
tion local to accept a three-year
nact. The other was th? Port Ar-
thur Painters Local 328 on the
same terms.
.The new contract, which'is ex-
pected to be f a i r I y u n i 1,0' r m
throughout the construction crafts
except for differences in, working
rules, became effective April I. It
pxtends through March 31. 1964.
Changes in hourly scales " become
effective April 1 or the first pay
period immediately thereafter.
Terrell reported that the. pile-
drivers will receive 12'^-cents per
hour increase immediately, . 10
cents on April 1, 1962, and 10
cents more on April 1,- 1963. The
present piledriver journeyman
scale is now %3,52'A. At the start
of the third year of the new con-
tract the scale will rise to $3.85.
About 75 members of the local live
in Orange County.
Today's report was regarded as
another indication for continued
industrial building peace in the
Sabine Area as negotiations con-
tinued between construction craft
locals and contractor groups.
In this connection, tentative
agreement has been reached on
similar three-year contracts with
the three area carpenter locals
comprising the Sabine District
Council of Carpenters. Some 1,800
carpenters are involved.
The,pacts are subject to ratifi-
cation by the three memberships
in votes to be taken tonight here
by Local 2007 and on April 10. In-
dividual local carpenter votes will
be canvassed on the night of April
11 at the carpenter hall in Beau-
mont.
Contractors are being represent-
ed by the Sabine Area Construction
Committee (SACC) headed by
Chairman L. G. Gough. It presents
the Contractors Association of the
Sabine Area, independent contrac-
tors and the National Contractors
Association. Proposed contracts
cover primarily, industrial work.. .
Bargaining sessions are current-
ly being held with the iron workers,

Johnson Reports NATO Needs
Effective Nuclear Capability
Paris (AP) — Vice President
Lyndon B. Johnson said today the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion needs an effective nuclear
capability but the building up of
the alliance's non-nuclear force
is a "high priority task."
In a speech marking the, 10th
anniversary of the founding of
NATO military headquarters here
Johnson served notice that „ the
Kennedy administration intends to
press first for greater convention-
al forces to beef up the alliance.
Johnson added that, "an effec-
tive NATO nuclear capability is
also needed to achieve our goal
and the United States stands
ready to consult With all members
of the alliance on the best ways
and "means of maintaining this ca-
pability in the future."-,
Informants say that the Ken-
nedy administration has shown no
enthusiasm for any olan to -give
atomic weapons to NATO under
any kind of complicated multi-na-
tion control. At present all the
NATO nuclear arms are under
U.S. control only, or under joint
two-power control as in the case
of U.S. rocket bases in Britain.
Johnson also called on Ameri-
ca's European allies to step up
political and. economic integration
and pledged the full support of
the United States and President
Kennedy in strengthening the At-
lantic community.
The vice president, • who ts on
his way home from Senegal's in-
dependence celebrations, stopped
in Geneva and conferred with Ar-
thur H. Dean, the U.S. delegate

Before leaving Geneva he told
a news conference the United
States will do everything "within
dignity and honor" to get an ef-
fective test ban treaty.
The embassy in Paris an-
nounced Johnson had canceled a
planned stop in Madrid en route
to Washington. A spokesman said
the cancellation was due to the
pressure of time.
Negotiations were proceeding to-
day between representatives of the
B. F. Shaw Construction Co. here
and.union officials of Local 195 fol-
lowing an impromptu sitdown
strike yesterday by some 150 pipe-
fitters.
The Shaw concern Is an Inde-
pendent contractor doing -w o r k
through the construction division
at the local Du Pont Sabine River
Works off Chemical Row.
Involved Is a dispute on observ-
ance of pipefitter local working
rules which include the contractor
furnishing work gloves and six-foot
rules. This practice is observed by
other Sabine Area contractors.
Shaw, although not a member of
Sabine Area contractor groups, had
indicated earlier it would not fol-
low such practices. Some, 150 pipe-
fitters doing work throughout the
sprawling facility yesterday de-
clined to work without gloves or
rules supplied by the contractor.
Informed sources, neither man-
agement nor labor, said pipefitter
work halted almost all afternoon.
Pipefitters were subsequently fired
and pay sought was not imme-
diately forthcoming. All members
of the local remained on the job in
a sitdown strike.
They reported for work at the
customary time today but no as-
signments were made pending the
outcome of negotiations.

County Dads Review
Six Grade Crossings
By MARY ALICE LAKEY
Six grade crossings of the Mis-
souri Pacific Railroad which figure
in the county's, 56,445,000 road
building program" were' under dis-
cussion for about 2V4 hours yes-
terday by county and rail official^.
Discussion was between E. N.
Craven, MOPAC trainmasters
D. J. Bertel, MOPAC division
gineer; and H. L. Mack, assistant
engineer; with County Erigr. J. G.
(Gus) Foyle; Gary and Cv P
Smith, consulting engineers;
County Judge Sid J. Caillavet and
the four county commissioners,
Casey J. Peveto.-E. K. (Bo) Rat-
cliff, Asa Mansfield and J. H. Mc-
Neely.
Although rail representatives in-
dicated the company would co-
operate on the county proposals
for joint participation in -costs of
crossings, Bertel emphasized that
any county proposals must be pre-
sented -to Company executives for
review and a decision.
Crossings involved are on Day-
ton Street and Foreman Road,
both in-West Orange; 10th Street
in Orange, Alabama Street in Cove
Addition and Old Highway 62 south
of Mauriceville.
Bertel advised that the $8,000
approximate cost of flashing sig-
nals at some of the crossing^ was
not merited because flow of train
federal sources, about 90 per
cent.
On the Dayton Street crossing,
it was tentatively agreed that
train crews will flag it at certain
hours. The crossing probably will
be installed at the railroad's ex
pease.
Because of heavy shift change
traffic exiting from Chemical Row,
signals were considered for Fore-
man Road crossings but company
officials again reminded of the
expense.
A tentative agreement by
MOPAC representatives is that
"due care and caution will be
used." The agreement was based
on the fact that trains make only
"switcK" moves to the plants and
are at a low rate of speed
Discussion of crossing costs
brought out that a standard plank
crossing will be about $532 and
that a lightvehicular traffic type
crossing will figure about $380.
When Bertel reminded that there
are four, crossings to be installed
on Foreman Road alone and one
at'Daiyton, he added: "We're talk-
ing in terms already of some $2,-
500 and our participation would be
even higher if full-depth crossings
are installed."
The Smiths pointed out that not
all of the six projects under dis-
cussion would develop immediate-

WASHINGTON (AP)-President
Kennedy and British Prime Min-
ister Harold Macmillan focused
their allied policy charting on the
crisis in -southeast Asia today;
planning particularly for negotia-
tions with Russia and Red China
on a permanent settlement
Laos.
While the two leaders worked
separately at the White House and
the British Embassy, their foreign
policy chiefs met at the State De-
partment to review the progress
of the British-American talks so
far and get ready for the final
rounds this .afternoon and Satur-
day morning.
At a Potomac River dock the
92-foot presidential cabin cruiser
was made ready for this after-
noon's Kenncdy-Macmillan meet-
ing. The two men and their ad-
visers were scheduled to board
the cruiser "Honey Fiitz" in mid
afternoon and spend two to three
hours conferring on the Laotian
crisis, the Communist threat in
south Viet Nam, nuclear tests,
disarmament and other issues in
the cold war conflict between the
Communist bloc and the Western
powers.
The two Western leaders, in the
second day of their Washington
conference, were reported opti-
mistic about Soviet agreement to
guaranteed cease-fire in the
Laotian civil war.
They were expected to agree
that once the fighting ends* they
should focus their efforts on uni-
fying and neutralizing Laos, seek-
ing-that objective in a forthcom-
ing international conference on
the future of the Southeast Asian
kingdom.
Kennedy and Macmillan, in fact
were described as substantially
agreed in their positions on a
wide range of world problems—
with one notable exception in the
case of United Nations member-
ship for Red China.
Their differences on this point
could lead to trouble between the
United States and Britain at next
fall's meeting of the U.N. Gen-
eral Assembly. But the President
and prime minister indicated a
determination to do everything
possible to minimize the split.
They discussed the Red China
issue at the White House Wednes-
day in a series of meetings which
btgan at 11 a.m. and continued
until after 6 p.m. U.S. and British
officials subsequently described
the consultation ^s "most valu-
able and useful" in providing a
basis for strengthening allied co-
operation in mahy fields, despita
the inability of either Kennedy or
Macmillan to do anything to nar-
row the differences on Red China.

American talks on worldwide

GOP
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas Democratic leaders
sought Thursday to rally their
divided forces and prevent elec-

U. S. senator since reconstruc-
tion days.
Two conservatives — the GOP's
John G. Tower and interim Sen.
William A. Blakley — will vie for
the Senate seat formerly held by
Vice President Lyndon Johnson
in a runoff tentatively set for
June 3.
Vote totals in a special election
Tuesday afforded clear evidence
of a historic split between con-
servative and liberal factions
among Texas Democrats. I
Tower, 35, 5-foot-5V2 former
professor of government at 1 Mid-
western University, in Wichita
Falls, led a bulky field wifh a
sizeable 31.50 per cent of \ the
slightly more than one million
votes cast.
Blakley, 62, a rancher, lawyer
and financier rated one of the
richest men in the United States,
forged into a runoff with 16.33
per centjpf the ballots.
Four other Democrats — two
of moderate view and a pair of
liberals — collected 47.6 per cent.
The rest of the 71 mon and
women on the ballot divided the
remaining 2.56 per cent. It took
a majority to win without a run-
off.
National Democratic committee-
man Byron Skelton of Temple
callcd on fellow party members
to unite in support of Blakley.
"Sen. Blakleys election 'is as-
sured," Skelton asserted, "be-

Action Hinges on Tests
Economical Way To Control Water Rust Sought
By BERT BREWER
A cost analysis is being run to
determine the most economical
and effective method to control
rust discoloration in the Orange
water system, City Mgr. Archie
Walker said today.
The water conditioning study au-
thorized in August is now in its
second and final phase prior to
action by city officials.
"When a cost analysis Is com-
pleted, immediate action will be
taken along the most economical-
ly effective route," Walker said.
In the balance is the construction
of a filtration plant as opposed to
a permanent Calgon injection sys-
tem.
In the first phase of the water
conditioning study, attempts were
made to determine If certain op-
erational techniques or chemicil
additives would eliminate, or at
least reduce, the objectionable fea-
tures of iron to acceptable stand-
ards.
To accomplish this goal, three
separate tests were conducted.
FirJt, the ground storage tank at
the Link Avenue pumping station
was "floated" on the line by re-
routing the well discharge flow di-
rectly Into the distribution pump
suction. This wai done tn an ef-
fort to exclude air from the water
as much as possible, thereby lim-
iting oxidation. '
The facility was operated under
these conditions for about a month.
During 4hfs time a thorough flush-
ing program was conducted to rid
the system of any previous build-
up of-iron precipitation. Repre-
sentative samRjes of water were
taken throughout the system near
the end of the month and turned
over to a testing laboratory to
check for total iron, dissolved
iron and pH.
The laboratory tests proved that
"floating" the ground storage tank
was not the answer to the rust
problem.
The second stage of the condi-
tioning tests, being conducted by
Turner & Collie, Consulting Engi-
neers, Inc., of Houston and Pert
Arthur, included "break - point"
chlorination.
The first phase report gave the
following summarization of this
procedure:
"It has been demonstrated that
if chlorine is applied to a Water
until a residual appears and the
dosage increased, the residual will
increase and continue to increase

viously been the policy of the com-jtjng will be about March 28. This
pany to finance 10 per cent of cost, i is the only immediate project con-
and the county and-or state and cerned.
Because of heavy traffic on 10th
Street, a higher type of crossing
will be considered. Mack empha-
sized that there are attendant ex-
penses with crossing installation
and that the quoted prices would
be doubled because heavier rail
would have to be laid at the new
crossings.
Easement for channel excava-
tion for the Adams Bayou bridge
wits tentatively agreed upon and
MOPAC indicated it would prefer
that the county's contractor re-
move cutoff railroad piling there.
Foyle observed that he thought
the county would be willing to par-
ticipate in the cost of crossing ma-
terial but Bertel said that a study
of costs would be advisable and
that perhaps another meeting could
be arranged to firm up partici-
pation agreements.
In other action, the court:
1. Authorized payment of about
$2,150 to workers in the school
trostee and U.S. senator elections.

as more chlorine is added. Ulti-
mately, a pojnt is reached at which
the vresiduai dips, or 'breaks' and
beyond this point it continues to
rise."
The chlorine applied beyond the
break-point is termed "free" and
is considered more efficient in de-
stroying the rust causing agents.
Break-point chlorination was thus
considered as a , possible solution
to the problem or rusty water.
The report continues, "before
operating the system under these
conditions, however, samples were
again submitted to the laboratory
for a determination of the exact
'break-point.' Heretofore the break
was checked by field instruments
to occur at a dosage rate of about
four parts per million. The labora-
tory aid not confirm this, however,
and could not detect a break even
when the dosage was increased to
seven parts per million.''

water'condition study including the
