Willardj Wirtz to' head off a nationwide railroad strike. Although none of the union officials would say so outright, their comments indicated that their answer will be "no" when they and rail road representatives meet Sunday afternoon with the secretary. In St. Louis, H.

E. Gilbert, president of the AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and En- ginemen, desscribed the Wirtz plan as "unacceptable." In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, George Harris, senior vice president of the Independent Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemcn, said, "We wouldn't reject the proposal until after the meeting." Assistant Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds went over the details of the plan with representatives of the five operating unions Saturday. He said later he had no idea what the unions' answer would be. Meanwhile, a Labor Department source said the fact that union representatives sought further clarification from Reynolds raises at least a "glimmer of hope" that meeting China Continues Attacks On Niki they might accept.

Union officials have scheduled Sunday morning. Only at that time, said one, would a final decision be made on what to tell Wirtz.

(AP) A search craft reported it found a body and a variety of debris Saturday in a Caribbean Sea area being combed for the missing fishing boat Sno' Boy and 40 Jamaicans aboard it.

Coast Guard search and rescue headquarters at Miami got no immediate details from the search craft which radioed the report. The Coast Guard said the report came from the aircraft carrier Wasp, which had search planes in the area. The floating body and the debris all were found in a 15-mile square area south of Jamaica, in the vicinity where the boat had gone to fish. Tower Soys Filibuster Awaits Rights Program By JOHN CHADWICK WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. John G.

Tower, denounced the administration's public accommodations bill and other parts of its civil rights program Saturday and said "a lengthy filibuster" against it can be expected. Tower, the only Republican senator from the South, predicted "it would take a virtual police state to enforce" the proposed ban on racial discrimination in stores, restaurants, theaters and other privately owned places of public accommodation. Tower takes part in the strategy sessions of southern senators opposed to enactment of the administration package bill. for action on a voluntary rather than a compulsory basis, Tower said the measure has implications far beyond civil rights. "I think it brings the federal government in this business of regulating the use of private property," he said in a transcribed broadcast for stations in Texas.

Tower said that substantial progress has been made throughout the South and elsewhere in the country in voluntarily desegregating places of public accommodation. He cited Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and other Texas cities as examples. Tower also objected to administration proposals which he said would allow the attorney general "to act as the counsel and the lawyer for plaintiffs in civil rights ases." The legislation provides that, under certain circumstances, the attorney general may bring injunction suits on behalf of individual citizens to force desegregation of schools and places of public accommodation. Traffic Toll Moves Near Record Pace By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Deaths in traffic accidents on the nation's highways reversed an earlier trend and took an upturn In the long Independence Day weekend and the heavy traffic of homeward-bound motorists was yet to come. Howard Pyle, president of the National Safety Council, said there was a strong upward trend which indicated that highway deaths might exceed the record high of 509 set in 1961, the most recent four-day July 4 observance.

An Associated Press tabulation late Saturday reported 366 deaths in traffic accidents, 32 in boating accidents and 95 by drowning. The council had estimated that 550 to 650 persons would die in traffic accidents between 6 p.m. Wednesday and midnight Sunday.

Dr. Francis holds the bachelor Rains Fill Proctor Lake By ROLAND LINDSEY Of The Bulletin stall COMANCHE Perhaps residents of Comanche County and surrounding areas got a hint of things to come when the groundbreaking ceremonies of the now almost completed Proctor Dam were forced indoors by rain in December 1960. Now, two and one-half years later, the water level of the lake is only four feet below the normal conservation pool level at which it will stand when the retaining structure is completed. The construction men and army engineers say it isn't finished yet, but boaters and skiers on the lake don't use it anyway.

Constructed primarily for flood control purposes, the dam will, at normal conservation level, have a shoreline about 38 miles long, and will cover 4,610 acres.

The normal flood conservation pool level will send the water up two necks, one up Copperas Creek to near U. S. Highway 16 between Van Dyke and Downing and the other up the Sabanna and Leon Rivers to a point southeast of De Leon. COPPERAS CREEK Four parks are near completion, and three of the four have been spoken for by cities of the area. At a meeting in October, 1960, before construction began, officials from Comanche requested priority on Copperas Creek A bulletin issued by the U.

Dublin's mayor, also at the meeting, expressed his city's interest in Sowell Creek Park, northwest of U. S. 377, the nearest of the five parks to Dublin.

De Leon's mayor also met with the group then to request Promontory Park for his city.
