Van Dusen, World News Roud ti By The Associated Press WASHINGTON -tThe nation's unemployment rate took its big. gest nose dive in more than four years last month. The Labor De- partment reported yesterday that the seasonally adjusted rate in March fell to 5.6 per cent of. the work force after soaring to 6.1 per ,cent in February. It was the great- est monthly improvement since November, 1958.

The Senate has already passed a Romney-sponsored "Ford-Canton" bill over-Democratic protests that it leans too far in favor of man- agement. Other Action In other legislative action, House Democrats began work on implementary legislation for the r new state constitution. A committee headed by Rep. E. D. O'Bien (D-Detroit) plans to propose plans of implementation, much to the dismay of House Ma- r jority Floor Leader Robert E. Wal- dron (R-Grosse Pointe), who claimed that this work is supposed to be done by a bi-partisan com- mittee. Sen. Garry E. Brown's (R- Schoolcraft) joint resolution for such a group was reported out of the House Committee on Rules and Resolutions Wednesday. Taxation Bills However, Waldron said he would amend Brown's resolution to ex- clude taxation bills from the spe- cial committee's scope, since these will be considered in a special leg- islative session in th' fall. In the Senate, committees have reported out Romney's bills for state economic expansion and in- dustrial growth.

As the rail crisis deepened, the House of Commons debated the implications of the government's new budget, designed to expand the national economy by four per cent a year. There was general recognition inside and outside Parliament that Britain could not boost exports and step up industrial productivity in the face of a prolonged rail walkout. 1 Protest Program Britain's 474,000 railroad work- ers were as aware of this as the rest of the nation. Nevertheless, they moved toward a walkout to protest a sweeping modernization program which would cut down jobs. Sydney Greene, leader of the National Union of Railwaymen, conferred with Richard Beeching, the business tycoon who authored a plan to shake up the railroads to get the system out of the red. Greene told newsmen afterward, "as things stand at the moment, it looks as if there will be a strike." Union To Decide Union leaders arranged to meet Monday to plan its date and length. Beeching's plan would reduce the railroad work force by 70,000 men, close a third of the stations and abandon 5000 miles of track. The aim is to lop off the system's dead wood and inake it competi- tive with road transport. The government's expansion budget was introduced in Parlia- ment Wednesday by Reginald Maudling,. chancellor of the Ex- chequer. WASHINGTON (AP)-The Sen- ate Armed Services Committee made a surprise slash yesterday of more than $400 million of the Pen- tagon's requests for new aircraft, missiles and other military hard- ware. The committee went along with the House, however, in voting an extra $363.7 million to provide two more RS-70 experimental recon- naissance strike aircraft than the three Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara insists are adequate. But the senators rejected a House-approved increase of $134 million to buy two nuclear-power- ed hunter-killer submarines in ad- dition to the six asked by Presi- dent John F. Kennedy to seek out enemy underwater craft. If the Senate approves all the cuts and additions it will mean a reduction of $905 million below the spending, authorization voted by the House for the fiscal year starting next July 1. The authori- zation measure fixes ceilings for military hardware to be included later in the defense money bill which will total more than $53.7 billion. Chairman Richard B. Russell (D-Ga) called his committee's economy move "a very modest re- duction in the numbers of aircraft, missiles, spare parts for them and research development." As sent to the Senate by the' committee, the bill carries $14,- 951,391,000 compared to $15,358,- 691,000 asked by the administra- tion. The House had raised Ken- nedy's total requests to $15,856,- 391,000. Even if Congress approves the $363.7 million for the extra RS- 70s, the Pentagon may not use it. It has refused in the past to spend extra money Congress voted for bombers and aircraft the admin- istration deemed unneeded. SEN. RICHARD B. RUSSELL . .. budget cut TRAFFIC: Reds "Tighten. West Berlin Restrictions, BERLIN 0?)-East Germany put pressure on road traffic to West Berlin yesterday and demanded more control over the air corri- dors. Only three days ago, Soviet MIG jets menaced a British private plane in the air corridors. And the Russians implied yesterday they might shoot down the plane if it tried to fly out of Berlin. Despite t h e s e developments, Allied officials doubted that the Communists were about to put a new squeeze on Berlin. One West- By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON -- Cuba, as well as the United States, appears to be restraining hit-and-run oper- ations which could set off a flash war in the Caribbean. President John F. Kennedy is known to hope for at least two results from the policy of crack- ing down on forays against Cuban targets, including Soviet ships. One purpose is to try to make it easier for Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev to continue pulling Russian troops out of Cuba. An- other is to reduce the danger of accidental conflict. Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Cas- tro, authorities here believe, has good reasons of his own to mini- mize clashes. Castro knows that if he angered the United States by attacks on its shipping to the point of provoking retaliation he might force United States invasion. It is assumed here that the danger of invasion is his major fear. Pressure from Khrushchev Apart from this consideration, Castro may have been pressured by Khrushchev to leash his ag- gressive impulses. Kennedy made the United States policy line clear at a news con- ference Wednesday, deploring hit- and-run raids by anti-Communist Cuban refugees. He said they do not constitute any "real blow at Castro." They may give the Soviets rea- son to continue their military force in Cuba, or even increase it; and bring about Communist retalia- tion, which would require United States military counteraction, Kennedy added. The Castro government has tak- en two actions which high off i- cials here consider very importast, if they mean what they seem to of propaganda cover and bac mean. up with the threat of stern In a little-noticed message to forcement."
