RIGHT TO STRIKE: Rail Negfotiators Feud;e Await Arbitration Ruling WASHINGTON (P)-Railroad negotiators spun their wheels with no reported progress yesterday while awaiting a binding arbitration ruling ordered by Congress to avert a nationwide train strike. Meanwhile, the threat of a strike still lingers in the background. Negotiators charged each other with failure to do as Congress di- rected-bargain realistically on Law Students Drop -Request To Governor Collegiate Press Service PHILADELPHIA-An invitatio by a group of law students at th University of Pennsylvania to Ala bama Gov. George Wallace t speak on Nov. 5 has been with drawn. The announcement was made b the five students on the Commit tee for the Law School Foru which originally had invited Wal lace. Their opinion outlined in a let ter to Wallace stated that "i light of the recent events in Birm ingham and their impact in Phil adelphia we do not feel that w are in a position to assume. re sponsibility for bringing about a: occasion in which civil disorder i likely to occur." The invitation had been extend ed to Wallace on July 5, 1963. lesser issues while waiting for the -arbitrators' decision on the fate of some 32,000 firemen's jobs and the size of freight train crews. H. E. Gilbert, president of the Firemen's and Enginemen's Union, accused the railroads of "absolute refusal to handle it on that basis." Right To Strike Gilbert told a luncheon meeting of labor writers, "We'll insist" on n the right to strike if a combined e arbitration-negotiation settlement is not reached by the Feb. 25 dead- line set by Congress. - "More progress will have to be made than has thus far been made y if any settlement is to be reached," - he said. M A spokesman for railroad nego- - tiators replied that Gilbert's com- ments were "either an attempt to - deliberately falsify the facts or n evidence of his complete lack of - knowledge about what has been - taking place." e Negotiation Recess - The statement, issued by the n American Association of Railroads, s said union negotiators themselves had suggested a recess in negotia- - tions pending the arbitration rul- ing. Blame Row In Dispute On Engines Senator Cites Battle In TFX Controversy By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Secretary of the Navy Fred Korth resigned yes- terday in apparent protest over a top - level Pentagon d e c i s i o n against buying atomic engines for a new aircraft carrier. The 54-year-old Korth, who al- so figured in a sharp policy dis- pute over the controversial TFX fighter plane contract, is leaving Nov. 1 to return to his banking business in Fort Worth, Texas. Defeat Speeds Decision Associates said his defeat on the nuclear power argument sped his decision to quit. Some Congress members, including Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo) said they think Korth's action stemmed from the TFX row. The Navy secretary's departure was announced by the White House. As Korth's successor, Presi- dent John F. Kennedy chose Paul Nitze, now assistant secretary of defense in charge of the Pentagon "Little State Department." This takes Nitze out of conten- tion for the defense establish- ment's second most important post, that of deputy secretary. Roswell L. Gilpatric; now chief aide to Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, is due to step out within a few months. Wrote Resignation Friday The White House disclosed that Korth had written his resignation last Friday-the same day he per- suaded McNamara to reconsider a tentative decision against permit- ting the Navy to install the more expensive nuclear power, instead of conventional engines, in its new supercarrier. The tall, white-haired Korth said he was resigning with "the utmost regret . . . so that I may return to private business and at- tend to my pressing business af- fairs." ' Some Opposition For a long time, Nitze was con- sidered a front runner for Gil- patric's job, but opposition to him apparently arose in the White House, on Capitol Hill and in the Pentagon. Nitze has a reputation for speak- ing his mind somewhat sharply and there have been reported per- sonality clashes. Before coming to the Pentagon as assistant secretary of defense, Nitze built up a long career in the foreign policy field in the Truman administration. During the Truman administra- tion, he served in the State De- partment in such posts as direc- tor of the policy planning staff and as a top official of the Office of International Trade Policy. He has been president of the Foreign Service Educational Foun- dation. Born on Jan. 16, 1907, in Am- herst, Mass., Nitze graduated from Harvard in 1928. He and Mrs. Nitze have four children. Rebukes Tribunal In Dissent WASHINGTON () - Justice John M. Harlan, in effect, told his Supreme Court colleagues yester- day they are ducking responsibil- ity and paving the way for re- opening criminal cases long since settled. The question is whether the lower courts are to apply retro- actively the high court's ruling of last March that state, as well as federal courts must provide an at- torney for persons charged with crime if they are too poor to hire lawyers and request such help. But Harlan stood alone in pro- testing an order by the other eight justices setting aside judg- ments in ten Florida cases and Court to reconsider them in line directing the Florida Supreme with the March decision. It is now up to the Florida tribunal to say whether the rule applies retro- actively. Opening Day Harlan's admonition to his as- sociates was the only controversial aspect of an opening day which saw the court refuse to accept 550 cases appealed to it while grant- ing hearings on only 21 new cases. In addition, it denied rehearings on 70 cases already decided. As usual, integration cases fig- ured prominently in the day's ac- tions. And after handing down the hundreds of orders which determine the calendar for the coming term, the court began at once to hear arguments on one of the most important questions be- fore it: Can the operator of a private business refuse to serve a Negro, summon police and invoke tres- pass laws when the Negro refuses to leave? Five cases touching on this point -two from Maryland, two from South Carolina and one from Florida-are being heard today. Decisions probably will not come for some months. No Liability for Cancer One rejected appeal was that of Mrs. Victoria St. Pierre Lartique of New Orleans who sued two big tobacco firms-and lost-claiming they were liable for the death of her husband, a cigarette smoker who died of lung cancer. The high court told the Min- nesota Supreme Court to, recon- sider the case of Mrs. Owen Jen- son, who got a jail sentence for refusing to serve on a jury because of her religious belief. She takes literally the Biblical words "judge not, that you be not judged." Man Without Country? A hearing was granted by the high tribunal to Herman F. Marks, known as the "butcher" for Prime Minister Fidel Castro of Cuba in the early days of his regime. Marks, born in Milwaukee in 1921, is fighting a deportation action based on a court decision that he is a man without a country. In the other actions in the area of integration, the court: -Agreed to hear an appeal by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in challenging Alabama court or- ders ousting the NAACP from the state. -Granted a hearing to Fred L. Shuttlesworth who was convicted of interfering with police when they took a group of Freedom Riders into "protective custody" at the Greyhound Bus Station in Birmingham on May 16, 1961. BONN ()-After 14 years in of- fice, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer came to the eve of retirement last night unhappy with United States wheat sales to Russia without a Kremlin promise to knock down the Berlin Wall. "As it is now, I'm not going with a light heart," he told newsmen at a farewell reception. Adenauer charged that Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev caused the little Berlin blockade last week in which a United States Army con- voy with 61 soldiers was bottled up in Communist territory for nearly 52 hours. "He wanted to show his people that he still has power, even though he is buying wheat," the 87-year-old chancellor said. 'Genuine Misunderstanding' Sources high in the Kennedy ad- ministration in Washington say the blockade was the result of a "genuine Russian misunderstand- ing" and reflected no permanent setback in the thaw in the East- West cold war. In Germany, spec- ulation has been that the Soviet Army was trying to capitalize on the quiet period in the cold war to achieve more power in Berlin, specifically the procedure in han- dling American military convoys. Serious Blockade But Adenauer, who turns the reins of government over to Eco- nomics Minister Ludwig Erhard today, said the blockade was seri- ous and that West German forces had been placed on the alert. The same United States convoy pased Soviet checkpoints without trou- ble Monday on its trip back to West Germany from Berlin. Adenauer implied in his chat with newsmen that the United States should have bargained with the Russians in the wheat deal for a concession that they would order the Communist East Germans to take down the wall they built in Berlin in August 1961. Last week, Adenauer said he would be the first to support sales of wheat to the Soviet Union on a humanitarian basis if the Kremlin demonstrated with concrete acts that it wanted peace. Isolation Attempt But in his farewell talk with newsmen he said he was afraid the Russians are finding a way to isolate West Germany, by elim- inating the conflict between the Kremlin and Washington. Then, only the conflict between the Soviet Union and West Ger- many will remain, he said. Adenauer recalled the words of the late United States secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, warn- ing against Germany failing under Soviet influence. If that happened, he quoted Dulles as saying, the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union would really just begin. Sighs of Relief Adenauer's departure from the West German leadership is bring- ing sighs of relief in Washington and London. Nevertheless, he re- ceived warm official farewell mes- sages from President John F. Ken- nedy and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Britain. Kennedy praised the Chancellor for "the peaceful and democratic transition of government now tak- ing place under your leadership." He added: "I know that I speak in the name of all Americans when I pay tribute to the magnificent list of your accomplishments in the past and wish you happiness and suc- cess in the future. The relations EVE OF RETIREMENT: Adenauer Criticizes U.S., Soviet Policy, Sign up by T~z~ KONRAD ADENAUER ... resigns today between my country and yours have never been closer-and the links to whose forging you have committed so much will have per- manence." Macmillan said: "Your personal achievements during the past 14 years of office have been truly great: You have led your country- men out of the shadows of a dis- astrous war to a free, prosperous and democratic way of life.' (See Related Story, Page 8) Adenauer submitted his resigna- tion Friday. Technically, it will go into effect when he receives notice of dismissal from President Hein- rich Luebke this afternoon. But he intends to remain active in politics, both as a member of the Bundestag (Parliament) and national chairman of the Christian Democratic Party. or HOMECOM kNG9 CAMPUS GAM M EN'S A ND WOM EN'S H OUSi NG UNITS WORKING A A TEAMhY r 4) . jj{- i Questions?
