Department said yesterday.
"The new program will include instructions to customs inspectors
to examine the hand-baggage of outbound passengers and, whenever
appropriate, suspected individuals will be searched for instruments of
piracy and sabotage," the announcement said.
Luggage searches for weapons are dne more step in the Govern-
ment's attempt to insure that guerrillas do not hijack commercial

WASHINGTON () - President Nixon signed executive
orders yesterday blocking a threatened nationwide rail strike
for 60 days.
Acting under provisions of the Railway LaborAct, Nixon
created a five-member fact-finding board to lo'ok into the
dispute between four unions and some 160 rail lines.
If settlements are not arranged at the end of 60 days, the
unions will be free to strike - unless Congress should enact
emergency legislation in the interim.

the White House the Admin-
istration had hoped to win
union - industry agreements
without resort to emergency
procedures and that it w a s
"with great reluctance" that
the Labor Department recom-
mended signing of the execu-
tive orders.
The four unions involved rep-
resent about 400,000 rail employ-
es - about 70 per cent of all
those employed by the industry.
.A strike had been set for Sept.
10, but the government won un-
ion agreement to extend discus-
sions for five days - a move fol-
lowed by a federal court o r d e r
Tuesday blocking any selective
strikes against some of the rail
lines involved.
District Judge Howard Corcoran
left in force an order restraining
the unions f r o m striking until
1:45 p.m. EDT Sept. 23.
The judge acted less than an
hour after the unions called the
strike and just 30 minutes after
members of the United Transpor-
tation Union picketed the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad at Hunt-
ington, West Virginia.
President C. L. Dennis of the
AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Rail-
way Clerks, said the strike was
planned against the Southern Pa-
cific and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, in addition to the C&O.
The five-member board that
Nixon set up to 1 o o k into the
strike dispute is larger than any
previous board has been. M o s t
such panels have three members. I
Usery said a larger board was
being named to consider all the
disputes on a consolidated basis,
"so that an equitable settlement
may be reached at t h e earliest
possible time."
He expressed hope that nego-
tiations in which federal media--
tors had participated had already
narrowed .the points in dispute
and that the board could quickly
zero in on those of major im-
portance.
Under the rail labor law, the
board -. its members will be nam-
ed later - will report findings to
Nixon within 30 days. There will
be an additional period of 30 days
in which the disputants can con-
sider the board's recommendations
and continue negotiations.

Official 'i
HUD .quits;
cies racism
WASHINGTON (P) - A top
government open-housing official
resigned yesterday, accusing the
Nixon administration of encour-
aging and perpetuating racial dis-
crimination in housing.
Robert Affeldt said he became
"very, very frustrated" in his one
year as director of conciliation
in the housing opportunity divi-
sion of the Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Development.
He is leaving the,$24,000-a-year
government post to return to the
University of Toledo as a law pro-
fessor.
"The Nixon administration is
not only indifferent to fair hous-
ing but is actively opposing it by
acts of commission and omis-
sion," Affeldt told a news con-
ference. "As a result of t h i s
policy, the federal government is
encouraging and perpetuating ra-
cial discrimination in h o u s i n g,
employment and education."
He accused administration of-
ficials of sabotaging the depart-
ment'q limited conciliation of dis-'
crimination comiplaints and of re-
fusing to withhold federal'aid-
as he contended is permitted by
law-from communities that balk
at enforcement of open housing.
Affeldt's comments appear to
reinforce similar complaints re-
cently from private civil rights or-
ganizations, some members of
Congress, and from the chairman
of the U.S. Civil Rights Commis-
sion, the Rev. Theodore M. Hes-
burg. --
Secretary of Housing George
Romney, while publicly commit-
ted to an "open communities"
policy, has said the language of
the landmark 1968 open housing
law is too gentle to sanction large
scale cutoffs of federal aid to
cities and towns that resist open
housing.
By coincidence, Affeldt an-
nounced his resignation about the
same time Asst: Atty. Gen. Wil-
liam H. Rehnquist was telling the
Federal Bar Association t h a t
federal employes who differ pub-
licly with the administration may
lose their jobs.

financing and construction bids
for Northwood V, a 400-unit
apartment complex for married
students on North Campus.
The cost of the project would
,be about $9.5 million 'said Vice
President and Chief 1inanc-
ial Officer Wilbur Pierpont and
the scheduled completion date is
the end of 1972.
During the discussion of t h e
matter Regent Otis Smith (D-
Detroit) asked if the University
had any housing philosophy and
what housing priorities are.
"It's very clear that everyone
agrees that married student hous-
ing is first priority," Vice Presi-
dent for Student Services Robert
Knauss said.
"We do think the next area we

have to look at is single student
housing," added John Feldkamp.
director of housing. "A program
has been in the planning stage for
three or four years but each time
we hit a snag."
* Vice President for Research
Geoffrey Norman told the Re-
gents that the - University per-
formed $62.4 million of research
during 1969-70.
"For three years the expendi-
ture rate has been plateaued at
just over $60 million," 1Norman
said, adding that he does not ex-
pect any rise in federal funds
available for research for three or
four years.
Norman said the University has
1600 to 1700 research projects at
any one time and he claimed that
a substantial percentage are re-

levant to today's social problems.
In other action, the Regents de-
cided to appeal the LaVerne Hill
case. The state Civil Rights Com-
mission ruled earlier this month
that the University had discrim-
inated against Mrs. Hill, a former
nurse at University hospital.
The Regents also ruled that
from now on a University student
can neither gain nor lose state
residency status by marriage. Pre-
viously the residency of a wife
followed that of her husband.
Finally, the Regents appointed
Angus Campbell as director of the
Institute for Social Research and
astronomy Prof. William Hiltner
as chairman of the'astronomy de-
partment.
