THE MICHIGAN DAILY I Judge Orders Virginia Schools O 0 COMMEMORATES REVOLUTION: Predicts Aggression by U.S. .ajir oaders M aStrike To Keep Jobs CHICAGO (P)-The men who man the nation's trains threatened yesterday to strike to keep their employers from changing working rules that would wipe out thou- sands of jobs. The threat was embodied in a United States district court in which the unions of engineers, trainmen, conductors, brakemen, firemen and switchmen sought to head off the enforcement of changes set for Aug. 16. The suit asked the court to de- clare that the carriers' promulga- tion of its plan on July 17 was a violation of the Federal Railway Labor Act. It also applied for a permanent injunction to keep the managements from adopting new rules. Forced To Resist If the managements proceed to enforce rules changes, the suit added, the unions "will be forced to resist said revisionis by asking those they represent . .. to with- draw from service" until they have forced management to put aside the economy move. There was no immediate com- ment from representatives of man- agement on the strike threat or on the suit. Spokesmen said they wished to read the legal docu- ments before discussing them. The work rules changes, the1 carriers say, are aimed at elimin- ating what they call "featherbed- ding"-keeping on the payrolls personnel whose jobs are unneces- sary. The unions disagree and con- tend the jobs are needed in the in- terest of safety and, efficiency. First Effects One of the first effects of the changes would be the elimination of jobs of 13,000 firemen employed on diesel locomotives that have no fires to tend. These job eliminations were rec- ommended by a presidential com- mission n a m e d by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It reported its findings to President John F. Kennedy in Feb. and made num- erous recommendations aimed, it said, at bringing the railroad in- dustry up to date with current technological advances. The labor groups rejected the findings; the carriers accepted them. If the brotherhoods should call a strike, President John F. Kenne- dy is authorized to invoke emer- gency provisions of the Railway Labor Act and name a board to make settlement recommendations. TO MEET TODAY-Souvanna Phouma and President John F. Kennedy will meet today to confer on the situation in Laos. Phou- ma has expressed some hopes that the newly-created "neutralist" Laos can endure, but also feels some fear that the growing Com- munist menace will end the nation's neutrality. Kennedy, Phouma Meet On Neutral Laos' Future WASHINGTON to)-Prince Souvanna Phouma arrived yester- day for talks with President John F. Kennedy and said the future of his neutral regime in Laos hinges on internal peace and a solid economy. Arriving at Washington National Airport, the 62-year-old Lao- tian Premier was greeted warmly by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other diplomats. Souvanna Phouma said with the conclusion of the 14-nation Directs Board On Entrance Plan Deadline Harrison, State Heads Confer on Situation RICHMOND P) - A Federal judge called on Prince Edward County, Va., yesterday to re-open its public schools, which the county closed three years ago rather than accept racial inte- gration in the classrooms. Judge Oren R. Lewis directed the Prince Edward School Board to complete plans for the admis- sion to the schools on a non-racial basis by Sept. 7. The result of his order could be the beginning of the end of an 11-year-old fight in the rural Virginia agricultural county over the subject of school integration. Leaders Applaud The decision was applauded by Negro leaders. There was no spe- cific word from state or county officials on what their next move would be. Presumably, they will seek an appeal. Gov. Albertis S. Harrison Jr. went into an immediate conference with Virginia Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Button and two other top legal officials. He said he would have nothing to say until he had stud- ied the opinion and conferred with other attorneys in the case. Judge Lewis said it would not be necessary to enter a more formal court order if the Prince Edward schools are re-opened Negroes without School The county's 1,700 school age Negro children have had virtually no formal education since 1959 when the Prince Edward Board of Supervisors cut off all operating funds and the schools closed. The 1,400 white children have been attending private segregated schools, financed for a time by public money until Lewis banned use of such tax funds. If the schools aren't reopened by Sept. 7, Lewis said he would con- sider any and all proposed orders offered by attorneys in the racial dispute. Cited by Court Prince Edward was one of the original five cases ruled on by the United States Supreme Court in its historic 1954 school de- segregation case. The schools closed in 1959, and the case has remained before the courts in one form or another. Prince Edward is the only local- ity in the nation in which all public schools were shut to avoid racial integration. Negro Heads Plan Integration Moves ALBANY, Ga. (P)-Negro lead- ers planned their next integration moves behind closed doors yester- day in the face of a new warning from Gov. Ernest Vandiver that further violence would bring state action. New marching protests against segregation had been plan- ned but it appeared uncertain when or if they should materialize. SANTIAGO, Chile (R) - Fidel Castro told a noisy rally of Cubans yesterday the United States is pre- paring direct armed aggression against their homeland. He charged the United States Navy was holding the Guantana- mo Naval Base "against our will" and that it has become "a lodging for drunken inhabitants and coun- terrevolutionaries." Flailing his arms, the Cuban Prime Minister told the crowd: "The imperialists are arming to their teeth." He spoke at a ceremony com- memorating the 9th anniversary of the start of his revolution here against ousted dictator Fulgencio Batista. Must Strengthen Defense Cubans, he said, must work harder but "not neglect our de- fense-on the contrary, strength- en it." Then, a flight of Cuban air force jet fighters swept overhead and Castro craned his neck. "That's nothing more than the preamble," he said with a chuckle. As for the United States Navy Base 50 miles east of here, Castro said the United States seized it during the war of independence from Spain. By terms of a treaty that went into effect in the mid-1930's the United States leases the base from Cuba for $2,000 a year for as long as it considers it necessary. The United States, however, has main- tained a Navy station there since 1901, after the war with Spain. Castro charged that "that base is part of our territory which the Yankees are holding against our will and using it as a sector of corruption." Attempting to Infiltrate He claimed that counterrevolu- tionaries are attempting to infil- trate Cuba from the base. He sailed into counterrevolu- tionaries with a charge they were joining forces with followers of Batista in an attempt to regain power in Cuba. Halts Speech The crowd at the rally was noisy and the bearded prime minister, dressed in his green fatigues and beret, halted his speech at one point and warned he would not CARLETON MORRIS .. goes with the senators Geneva accords on Laos, signed M C AEC,, Defense Heads Discussa Thor Failure e WASHINGTON (A) - A Thor rocket and its nuclearswarheads b were intentionally destroyed at P Johnston Island early yesterday in S a high altitude test attempt that 0 never got off the ground.

An official here said he doubt- ed yesterday's meetings were held to decide whether to end the nu- a clear test series. a onday, his country has turned a new page. "With the help of all our friends we will maintain our ndependence," he said. 'But he added: Neutral, Really "We will be able to be really neutral only if we have peace in- ide of the country and place our conomy on a solid basis." "We know your tasks are just beginning," Rusk told Souvanna Phouma. "You have still to con- olidate your country on the basis f independence and neutrality." Questions He said these would be the ques- ions for discussion with Kennedy over the next few days. Kennedy will meet Souvanna Phouma at the White House to- ay, and it is expected the Presi- dent will assure the Laotian lead- r that the United States will honor its obligations and expects 11 other mations, including Laos, o live up to commitments that t be neutral and independent. Guarantee Laos' neutrality was insured last week when a 14-nation conference approved the final versiol of a reaty drawn up after a several months'-long study. The treaty rovides for the withdrawal of all oreign military personnel from he kingdom within the next 68 ays. During and following the with- [rawal, activities in Laos will be upervised by a commission com- posed of representatives from _anada, Poland, and India. The ommission will continue to check he borders to prevent re-entry of oreign forces and arms.. * Hears Case On Districts Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart will hear arguments to- day on whether he should stay the state Supreme Court's apportion- ment order. State politicians and officials on both sides are converging on Little- ton, N. H., where the vacationing Stewart will decide the appeal of Senators Frank Beadle (R-St. Clair), Paul Younger (R-Lansing) and John Fitzgerald (R-Grand Ledge) this weekend., The three senators accompanied by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Carlton Morris (R- Kalamazoo) will confer with their attorney, Whitney N. Seymour, in New York City today and then proceed to Littleton. Solicitor General Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley, Solici- tor Gen. Eugene Krasicky and Dep. Atty. Gen. Leon Cohan will argue the case for the court decision. Theodore Sachs, attorney' for state AFL-CIO president August Scholle, -whose successful suit against the Senate started the cur- rent round of litigation, will also be present. Seymour is expected to argue that the court's decision setting an Aug. 20 deadline is too short and that an election of senators at large will cause chaos. Kansas Action A state district judge ruled yes- terday that the Kansas state Sen- ate and part of the House of Rep- resentatives is improperly appor- tioned and must be corrected to meet constitutional requirements. The state supreme court was asked by state Atty. Gen. William M. Ferguson to stay the ruling. Dist. Judge Marion Beatty up- held four newspapermen who ask- ed the court to declare the ap- portionment laws invalid and en- join officials from holding elec- tions under them. His ruling af- fects all 40 state senators and 13 counties which have more than one house member each. Elections Beatty's ruling directed that the next primary and general elec- tions for state senators and for house members in multi-district counties be held at-large. Sena- tors would be elected at-large throughout the state and repre- sentatives at-large within coun- ties having more than one house member. However, the Supreme Court ap- peal is expected to prevent the ruling from affecting the Aug. 7 primary and Nov. 6 general elec- tion this year, giving the 1963 legislature time to reapportion. WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP: T-alk on A irlines Strike, Urge Prayer Bill Action By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The United States government kept negotiators at work last night trying to settle the 34-day flight engineers strike of Eastern Air Lines. Malcolm Macintyre, Eastern's president, held several conferences in the offices of Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg in a showdown effort to produce an agreement. WASHINGTON-Several United States Senators urged yesterday continue unless the crowd near the rostrum quieted down and stopped shoving. Castro said imperialism was or- ganizing "gangs of murderers that are the same ones that murdered before (the revolution)." Crowd Answers 'No' "Will they and the Americans with their factories return?" he shouted out to the crowd. Back came a roaring, "no." It was here in Santiago that Castro first moved against Batis- ta on July 26, 1953. He and his men stormed an army barracks, were captured, jailed, then sent into exile in Mexico. From there Castro shaped up the guerrilla force that fought Batista until his downfall Jan. 1, 1959. Protest New income TaX SANTO DOMINGO )-A strike of government workers yesterday brought rifle-armed police and riot squads again into the streets of this Caribbean capital. Union leaders called the walk- out to protest new income tax rates, but President Rafael Bon- nelly's government charged it was inspired by the anniversary of Fi- del Castro's 26th-of-July revolu- tionary movement. The riot squads, carrying long billyclubs and gas bombs, patrol- led down town streets which were jammed with tourists. No Violence There were no early reports of violence. The Santo Domingo airport was closed for a time when operators in the control tower walked off the job and several international flights were cancelled. Troops rushed from nearby San Ysidro Air Base took over and operations resumed. Strong police details patrolled the vicinity of the pro-Castro 14th- of-June movement, whose loud- speakers blared out criticism of government "injustices." Close Most Stores Most stores on the capital's main street, El Conde, were closed. The strike presented potentially the most serious challenge yet to the nation's ruling council, led by Bonnelly, since it took over six months ago. Backing the striking Govern- ment Workers Union are the Fed- eration of University Students, bank employes, peanut oil industry workers and the union of munici- pal workers-with the exception of those in vital public services. ,t g featuring BOl Weevil Jass Band German Park- Pontiac Trail F R I DAY, July 27 9-12 P.M.

GOLDBERG ... clears the airways U Bargain, Days Continue Thru Saturday --I U.S. Rules Island Indirectly OPEN TONIGHT TILL 9 Tomorrow Till 5:30 (EDITOR'S NOTE-Puerto Rican Gov. Luis Munoz Marin Wednesday told Puerto Ricans that he hopesfor a plebiscite sometime next week, to determine if the island will remain under United States control or be- come an independent nation.) By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The executive and legislative powers of the United States touch Puerto Rico more lightly than they do any regular state. The island commonwealth, ac- quired by a rather left-handed conquest 64 years ago as a result of the war with Spain, receives the benefits of the United States social system without carrying either the responsibility or a share of the cost. Few Appointments The President makes fewer poli- tical appointments in Puerto Rico and so wields less direct political power there than in any state. For the last 10 years he has appointed only an auditor and the members of the supreme court. Puerto Ri- cans elect their own officials and their own commissioner who han- dles their affairs in Washington. Now the President has agreed to an even more firm formaliza- tion of the right and duty of Puer- to Ricans to decide the form of their own institutions and of their own future, "including independ- ence if that should be their wish." Since the proposal comes from the Puerto Rican governor who represents the island's majority favoring continuation of the com- monwealth association with the United States, merely eliminating the last vestiges of direct supervi- sion or control from Washington, that seems likely to be the result. But the plan for a plebiscite will extend full right of expression to those Puerto Ricans who would like actual statehood or prefer complete, nationalist independ- ence. U.S. Merely Stands The United States merely stands by and says, "Puerto Ricans are American citizens and have been for many years. They may do as they wish. There are no Algerias and no Angolas in the Americas." The situation which makes such an attitude possible is an achieve- ment of both the United States and Puerto Rico. Sixty-four years ago there was not, on that island, the slightest basis for political action or for self government. Tutelage has been a very real thing there, among a highly volatile people. A wise elite has been produced to take over self-government, and a wise fore- bearance exercised. Colonialism These leaders, and the.President, are now determined to eliminate everything in the relationship which others might twist into charges of colonialism. It has hap- pened before, ini the Philippines. And it is notable as a coinci- dence that steps are being taken to increase the autonomy of Guam, which soon will remain as the last small protectorate among the ac- quisitions from Spain. In their first message to the world the founders of the United States expressed "a decent respect of the opinions of mankind." The resultant nation, now playing a great role in that world, does not forget.
