OPPOSITION TO MEET WIT

H U.S.:

WASHINGTON (UPI) - U S.
District Judge Aubrey Robinson _or-
dered the nationwide four-day rail
strike ended yesterday-and the
president of the striking rail clerks sent
his members back to work im-
mediately.
Robinson signed a "double-edged"
temporary restraining order that direc-
ted the strikers to return to work and
forbade more than 100 railroads from
taking reprisals against the strikers
who have disrupted virtually all the
passenger and freight rail transpor-
tation in the nation.
FRED KROLL, president of. the
str king Brotherhood of Railway,
Air~e and Steamship Clerks, em-
phasized all workers who were on strike
would be protected.
"With this tremendous victory, I urge
our people to immediately return to
work," Kroll said.,
"We're going to start getting them
back immediately. I don't anticipate
any problems."
ROBINSON'S ORDER stated that the
railroads and the union, its officers,
employees, agents, members "and all
persons acting in concert or par-
ticipation with any of them, are hereby
enjoined and restrained from resorting
to self-help including strikes or lockouts

during the period in which the status
quo provisions of section 10 of the
Railway Labor Act is in effect."
Such a period would run up to 60 days
from President Carter's creation of the
emergency board under the act Thur-
sday.
Robinson's order will expire at 6:45
p.m. on Oct. 10 unless further extended
by the court. Robinson set Oct. 10 for a
,hearing on a preliminary injunction
against the strike.
THE JUDGE acted after a one-hour
hearing in which the BRAC and the
railroads could not work out a legal'
agreement aimed at reopening rail
operations and contract negotiations.
Earlier yesterday, the Justice Depar-
tment filed suit against the union and
139 railroads asking that there be no
strikes or lockouts during a 60-day
"cooling off" period under the Railway
Labor act.
The suit contended that "unless the
strikes are enjoined, the United
States ... "will suffer immediate and
irreparable injury for which it has no
adequate remedy of law."
THE CRIPPLING walkout began
Tuesday as an outgrowth of a dispute
between the Brotherhood of Railway,
Airlines\ and Steamship Clerks and the
Norfolk and Western Railway Co., with

displacement of workers through
automation the main issue.
BRAC President Fred Kroll said his
workers needed assurances from the
railroads therek.
At least 6,000 auto workers were laid
off at General Motors plants in Dayton
and Vandalia, Ohio, and Southgate,
Calif. The giant GM complex in Lor-
dstown will be shut down today because
of shortage of parts. Ford said at least
10 of its 20 U.S. and Canadian-based
plants have been disrupted.
There also were layoffs in the eastern
Kentucky coal mines and coal
preparation plants.

Somoza
mMANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)-The
BroadNOpposition Front and President
Anastasio Somoza apparently are at
odds over what five countries will try to
mediate an end to the anti-government
violence that has torn Nicaragua this
year.
A U.S. Embassy source said yester-
day, "Initially we hoped there would be
a quick decision on the mediators but it
may be a couple of days now."
AN OPPOSITION source'said the
front wanted Colombia, the Dominican
Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and.
the United States as mediators. Op-
position leaders are meeting with U.S.
Embassy officials.
The embassy source said Somoza was

loved us and let us all in free."
But the cashier wasn't the only
theater employee glad to have toga-
wearing customers. As soon as a dance
scene in the movie began, several of the
ushers joined Farr and his friends dan-
cing in front of the screen.
"THEN LATER ON the concession
people ganged up on us," Farr said.
"They said 'Do you guys remember the
food fight scene?"'
As soon as Farr and his friends
acknowledged they were familiar with
that segment of the movie, concession

workers began bombarding them with
buttered popcorn.

World mourns death

ALBINO LUCIANI was ordained a
priest in 1933, worked in the parish of
his local village, then in a nearby town,
where he taught religion. Later he was
deputy director of a seminary and one
of the top aides of the bishop of Belluno
in northern Italy.
Pope John named him bishop of Vit-
torio Veneto, a diocese south of Belluno,
in 1958. Pope Paul made him patriarch
of Venice in 1969 and elevated him to
cardinal in 1973.
Upon his election as pope, he took the
names of his two immediate

predecessors and said he would devote
his pontificate to following their exam-
ple.
HE HAD NO time to make any major
pronouncements on dogma or ethics,
but in an address to a group of U.S.
bishops last week-he said of Pope Paul,
"His teaching is ours." He urged them
to give special attention to saving
troubled marriages.
His medical history included jour
operations - a relative said they were
for his tonsils, a broken nose suffered in
a fall and two for gallstones. He also
suffered from an unspecified lung
ailment and rheumatism, but he was
not known to have had any chronic
heart trouble.
His reign was the shortest since that
of Leo I, who died after 17 days as pope
in 1605. Five other popes have reigned
for less than a month. Theshortestgwas
the reign of Stephen II in 752, who died
three days after his election.
The Vatican announced that the
Congregation of Cardinals, which runs
the Holy See during the period between
popes, will hold its first meeting at 11
a.m. today to set details for the nine-
day mourning period and to plan for the
electoral conclave.
