The new program, designed to thwart potential Arab guerrilla hijackers, has already begun at three international ports, the Treasury 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 airliners. It has already begun assigning armed plaincothes guards to some flights. About 10 airports will be added today, with the others to follow next week. U. S. rail blocks s trike 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. W. J.

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. President Nixon Regents approve expansion of University Record, new housing (Continued from Page 1) 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.
