The walkout, averted by a last minute agreement between Pan American Airways and the brotherhood of railway clerl<s. The agreement was negotiated after an all-night session. The new contract covers six hundred Pan American workers, and four thousand clerical employees. Both groups, now covered by the same benefits - seniority, job security, automatic pay raises, and so on. The company and the union both say - they made concessions, because of government work at Cape Canaveral. They don't want to paralyte our great missile proving ground. COMMUNISTS 'rhe conference of Communist leaders that broke up in Moscow today - has one important aspect. All those present I '-- agreeing - Russia is the undisputed leader of the Red Bloc. Even China and Poland accept this. Mao Tse-Tung spoke to three thousand Chinese students at the Moscow University. The boss of Red China telling them, 'The Socialist camp must have a headl'. Adding, "That head is the Soviet Union." Representing Poland, Premier Gomulka spoke before the Supreme Soviet. Admitting that the other Communist nations must follow tr e Soviet Union - Gomulka remarked, "Russia is the leader of equals." The joint cormnunique issued at the end of the _,,,,,,,. ) conference - was signed by Communist nations - from Albania to China. Conspicuously absent - Yugoslavia. Marshal Tito, refusin to sign the document - be~ause he doesn't want to endanger his relations with the West. Ater all, he has been ~cQMMU!!ISTS -2 - receiving millions in American aid. Why should he cut that off - just so h e can acknowledge the leadership of Russia - the nation that once tried to destroy him? --r STATE DEPARTMENT - FOLLOW COMMUNISTS Our tate epartment ridicules today's Communist communique. Press officer Lincoln White, teD1.ng newsmen - it's full of what he terms "vast distortions." Red unity, a mere pretense. he threats to the West - an old story. Talk about the happiness of the people in the Communist nations ' t - contradicted by riot and rebellion. In short, this co~.munique changes nothing. It doesn't mean that the Red nations have suddenly become a team under S viet direction. Nor does it mean that the west a should change its plans- for dealing with Communist qf aggressions. llYPT - Egypt i faci a new era of abundance - according to the airo press. The reason - that Russian loan. The Kremlin, allowing Nasser a hundred and seventy -five million dollars - the largest grant that h as ever gone from Moscow to a non-Communist country.

The result, a rise in the standard of living• the residents of the Nine Valley to have a bigger income - an1 mo~e consumer goods. In Cairo, they'll even be able to have a telephone installed in one day - instead of waiting six months. Later t h is week, Nasser will be briefed by his Finance Committee . After that , he'll decide which project should get priority - in usin g the Soviet loan.
