Washington Uf) The railroad industry reported yesterday it has eliminated the jobs more than locomotive fremen in less than a year. Another 6,000 of the remaining firemen are expected to be eliminated from dicscl engines in the second year since the 1963 ruling under the nation's first peacetime compulsory arbitration law.

The removal of firemen on grounds that they are not needed on modem locomotives has cost the industry $30 mill on in severance pay so far, but it stands to save an estimated $75 million a year in wages, the railroads say. The figures, released by the Association of American Railroads here, were prepared for a speech last night by chief industry negotiator J. E. Wolfe at a Yale university management conference. They were the first detailed figures from the industry on the firemen.

Figures Disputed Wolfe said the vast majority of the eliminated firemen landed on their feet with other jobs, business of their own set up with their severance money, or going to college. Only 11 per cent of the 15,135 men eliminated so far have, shown up on railroad unemployment rolls, he said. However, H. E. Gilbert, president of the AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen, said in Cleveland that more than 30 per cent are unemployed.

Gilbert said the railroad figures covered only men eligible for jobless benefits. The arbitration award, handed down in November of 1963, went into effect last May after the firemen's union lost legal appeals up to the Supreme court. The special arbitration law and the terms of the award run for a total of two years, after which the union has said it will seek to force the railroads to rehire the eliminated firemen. The award provided that the railroads could eliminate 90 per cent of all firemen from diesel engines in yard and freight service, but with provisions that gave lifetime job protection to most men. Firemen are being kept on passenger trains.

Urban Planners Urged To Heed Health Factors Harrisburg UP) Poor health was linked with poverty in a speech which also urged urban planners to make provisions for health factors in all their developments. The advice came from U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry, and was delivered to the final session of the Pennsylvania Health council's 15th annual meeting by Assistant Surgeon General Robert J. Anderson. Anderson read the Surgeon General's speech after Terry found it impossible to attend the Harrisburg meeting.

In the prepared text which Anderson read to the assembly, Terry said: "The cities and the countryside must be. above all, healthy places in which to live. The air around them must be kept clean and pure. The great rivers which nourish them must be clear of pollution. The work place must be a place where the life span is lengthened." It is difficult to stop or remove pollution of any kind once it has started, Terry said.

(New York Tiroes News Service) Washington () The House approved yesterday a 10-year program to promote the conservation and development of water and related land resources throughout the country. The vote was 383 to 0. The ultimate cost of the project was estimated at a maximum of $110 mil lion. This was one of several administration-sponsored measures designed to meet a volume of water use that is expected to more than double the current 300 billion gallons a day in the next 20 years.

The program provides for the following steps: The creation of a cabinet-level water resources council to coordinate conservation and development efforts in all areas. Federal grants running to $5 million annually to encourage states to inaugurate programs of their own. Establishment of six or more river basin commissions for planning and coordination of work at state, local and even private enterprise levels. Goes To Senate The measure was sent to the Senate, which passed a similar program, in February, for the adjustment of differences between the two houses. The differences were not regarded as difficult to resolve in a conference which expected to be requested by the Senate later this week.

The council would include the secretaries of the Interior, the Army, Agriculture, Health, Education and Welfare, and the chairman of the Federal Power commission. In addition to guiding the national planning effort it will keep the President and Congress advised on the general water situation. Financial grants will be made on a strictly 50-50 matching basis on the part of the states, and the program will enable them to play a more direct and stronger role in the conservation and development of their own resources. The river basin commissions would be the principal agencies for the direct, coordination of federal, state, local and private enterprise plans.
