sentative discribed that propo-
sal as “more show than sub-
stance.”
Fisher told the conference the
Soviet proposal “raises a my-
riad of questions” because so
little is known outside Russia
about her actual military spend-
ing. Fisher added:
“This year, for example, the
Soviet military budget which
was published and made avail-
able to the rest of the world,
consisted of some sixteen words
and one sum.” He said the
available English translation of
the Soviet defense budget
merely cays that Russia’s lead-
en decided “to establish in the
state budget of the USSR for
1964 aa allocation for national
defense of 13,289,000,000
rubles.”
Fisher said the relationship
of the Soviet military budgets
to Russia’s over-all arms efforts
and total military capabilities
raiaea ~ths moot serious ques-
tions.

Washington, Apr. 9
(AP) — Negotiations are
continuing in an effort to
head off a nationwide rail
strike at midnight. Labor
Secretary Wirtz has indi-
cated he plans to keep nego-
tiations going right on through
to the strike deadline if no
agreement is reached. An all-
night session ended early to-
day with Wirtz reporting no
progress in negotiations be-
tween union and management.
The Association of Ameri-
can Railroads says most US
carriers have embargoed all
freight effective one minute
after midnight, because of the
threatened rail strike. The em-
bargo serves notice that the
railroads will not accept
freight, and that no trains will
be sceduled that cannot reach
their destination by the strike
deadline. In the event trains
are en route, the association
says every effort will be made
to discharge passengers con-
venient to alternate transporta-
tion.

Baker Brings
Congressional
Campaign Here
Robert W. Baker, of Hous-
ton, Democratic candidate for
congressman at large, was a
campaign visitor in Sulphur
Springs Thursday.
Baker, a former state sena-
tor, declared he proposes to
support President Johnson’s
legislative program “without
becoming a rubber stamp.”
He said the Johnson program
deserves the backing of Demo-
cratic congressman and accus-
ed Joe Pool of Dallas, incum-
bent congressman at large, of
trying to sabotage the Johnson
legislative package.
“In congress, Pool has voted
the straight Republican line
even better than his counter-
part, Congressman Bruce Alger
of Dallas,” he declared.
Baker also said he favors the
federal tax cut bill “all the
way” and agrees that medical
care legislation for the aged
is “needed and desirable.” He
added that he does not know,
at this point, the best method
of financing such a program.
The candidate opposes any
change in the oil depletion al-
lowance, contending any reduc-
tion would drastically cut into
exploration for oil in Texaa.
I event of a nationwide railroad
strike.
The department announced
today that the shipment of all
second, third and fourth class
mail beyond 150 miles from
the point of origin will be cur-
tailed.
First clail mail will be
moved by all available trans-
portation and air mail will con-
tinue to get top priority hand-
ling.
Second class mail includes
newspapers and magazines.
Third class mail consists large-
ly of advertising circulars.
Fourth class mail is parcel post.
First class mail will move by
air only on an available space
basis. The department warned
shippers of emergency parcel
post items such as medicines to
use first class or air mail if
the shipment is to go beyond
150 miles.
Shippers of perishable goods
were urged to discontinue mail-
ings at once pending further in-
formation on the threatened
strike.
Ted Kennedy.
Makes Maiden
Senate Speech
Washington, Apr. 9 te*—Dem-
ocratic Senator Edward Ken-
nedy of Massachuseites rose
in the Senate today and de-
clared that John F. Kennedy’s
“heart and soul are in this
bill”—the civil right bill.
Said Edward Kennedy:
“If his life and death had a
meaning, it was that we should
not hate but love one another;
we should use our powers not
to create conditions of oppres-
sion that lead to violence, but
conditions of freedom that lead
to peace.”
It was the maiden Senate,
speech of the slain President’s
youngest brother. He conced-
ed that he spoke on the legisla-
tion with some hesitation, as
he expressed it, for “a fresh-
man senator should be seen,
not heard; should learn, not
teach.”
