Wednesday, May 19, 1971 THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN PRESS The end of the rail strike is the major story - - 13 1/2% retroactive wage hike and another strike barred until Oct. 1. Editorial and analysis mention often of failure of Congress to act on RN's proposal of a year ago. Growing pressure for action is seen -- even on Hill. WS Journal ironically wishes everybody "Happy Transportation Week. " SST and NATO votes make it a big day in Senate. SST apparently going down again -- no reported gain in votes and Boeing's estimate of start-up costs said to doom supporters. Mansfield proposal seen with 30-40 votes with Admin coming out on top but Nelson compromise said to have good chance -- give Admin til Sept. 30 to get talks underway or the troop pullback begins. Kosygin's continued conciliatory attitude on the issue is well played today. Smith Hempstone calls Mansfield proposal "dangerous and mischievious" and lead Times edit reasserts that paper's position that the proposal is reckless. Meanwhile Sr. the Post's Von Hoffman quotes extensively from a Bob Taft ^ speech to support Mansfield's contentions. Post looks dimly on WH tactics - Knote! resurrected everybody but Khrusheve- but still comes out against Mansfield. Also in Post is George Ball's response to Mankiewicz-Braden on the fading away of US imperialism. Coming on top of his Newsweek column rapping Mansfield idea, it's been an active time for Ball helping out Admin.
