WASHINGTON (CP). � The U.S. treasury has decided to undertake the most detailed study ever of foreign-subsid-. iary operations of American parent companies, authorities disclosed Tuesday.
Main purpose of the new action is to make sure American-firms do not attempt-to evade payment of American taxes by . setting up dummy companies abroad or improperly seeking refuge in low tax countries.
OTTAWA (CP)�The stage has been set for the federal government's next move in dealing with Canada's onrushing railway strike crisis, due Dec. 3.
Observers suggest it will likely be personal intervention by Prime Minister Diefenbaker�a dramatic high-level move aimed at preventing a railway tie-up that would paralyze transcontinental rail services and slow down the country's economy, weekend cabinet-level

After a
conference in Montreal, the 15-union "non-op" negotiating team flatly rejected the government's proposal to have the strike crisis shunted some six months into the future.
In effect, the government wanted the unions to accept a wage freeze until after the Alac-Pherson royal commission had turned in its long-awaited report on the country's transportation troubles.
The unions are also underslooc to have rejected an earlier gov eminent offer for half of the 14 cent hourly wage increase now and the rest after the commis sion report was available.
In sticking to the strike decis ion, the unions are relying on the weight of the conciliation board's compromise proposal for a three stage wage increase over a two: year contract.
The prime minister said in the Commons last week that he would step into the dispute personally if he could be of any help.
Indications arc the government will not permit the strike to take place � that it cannot afford a nationwide railway tie-up as the country moves into the winter period of high unemployment.
But so far the government has kept its hand closely guarded.
It could subsidize the railways so that the wage settlement could be met and the strike averted. It could impose compulsory arbitration. Or it could free the railways from a freight rale freeze so they could seek more revenues to meet the wage bill.

U.S. Puts Up Spy in Sky
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UP) � The United States sent into orbit today a camera-carrying Tiros satellite designed to be the world's first working weatherman in space.
The 280-pound satellite, Tiros II, roared away from this missile test centre in the nose of a 92-fool Thor-Delta rocket.
Two hours later the National Aeronautics and Space Administration  announced  the satellite was in orbit. A NSA statement said: "Initial  calculations  show   a perigee (high point) of 415 sta>-tute   miles   and   apogee   (low point) of 435 miles. The orbiial period is 98 minutes.")
The variation of only 20 miles between the near point and the far point of the orbit indicated that the -satellite is in the- most nearly circular orbit of any satellite yet launched. This would indicate a relatively long life time for the satellite.
Two television cameras in the satellite were expected to start sending back photos of cloud cover. Weathermen planned to use them in preparation of forecasts.
