President Os Railway Union Makes Charge WASHINGTON (UPI) — The president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen (BLFE) accused the nation’s railroads today of deliberately misinterpreting a federal arbitration award in eliminating firemen from diesel locomotives. BLFE chief H. E. Gilbert made the accusation at a news conference in seeking to explain the union’s position in a new rail union - management wrangle in advance of a scheduled meeting Thursday to work out differences in interpretation of the arbitration board’s award. A federal district judge Tuesday issued an order to block strikes against several major railroads threatened by the BLFE. The order is good for 10 days. Gilbert said there definitely would have been strikes called if management had not obtained the injunction. Gilbert conceded that his interpretation of the arbitration award differed from that of the railroad’s chief spokesman, J. E. Wolfe. “We now find that individual railroads are going beyond Wolfe’s official interpretation and deliberately misinterpreting the award to suit their own special interest,” Gilbert said. A Supreme Court ruling last April 27 cleared the way for the award to take effect Thursday. It eventually could eliminate 90 per cent of firemen’s jobs on freight and yard diesels —about 33,000 jobs. A union spokesman said strike ballots were taken on several railroads by the union but were not tabulated and no permission to strike was granted by the national office of the union. The latest strike threat came two days before the three-man arbitration board was to meet with union and management spokesmen to dispose of disputes over interpretation of the board’s decision. New Violence Erupts Today Over Cyprus New and unexpected violence erupted today throughout Cyprus, with an especially dangerous situation building up in the east coast port of Famagusta. The swift rise in tension came as diplomatic sources denied a Turkish Cypriot charge that an American citizen — Haris Psillides of New York, a former U.S. airman of Greek extraction —is fighting for the Greek Cypriots with the knowledge of the U.S. Embassy. The Turkish Cypriots claim Psillides has flown air spotter missions for Greek Cypriot forces attacking the Turks in the Kyrenia Mountains. Greek Cypriot police shot and seriously wounded a Turkish Cypriot driver who failed to halt his car at a Famagusta road block and ran down and injured a Greek Cypriot policeman. The United Nations said the situation was very tense, with both sides moving armed men into the area. An Irish patrol was investigating and seeking to prevent violence. Canadian troops in the north Nicosia suburb of Trakhonas worked to prevent major vilence after an aged Greek Cypriot cyclist was shot and wounded by Turkish Cypriots this morning. The Greek Cypriots threatened to use machine guns against the Turkish Cypriot positions. Tension also was building around the Kyrenia Pass area, where at least two U.N. patrols were fired on this morning. The fire was not returned. The United Nations reported Turkish Cypriots were . moving out of their kyrenia Mountains stronghold of St. Hilarion Castle toward Turkish Cypriot mortar positions overlooking advanced Greek Cypriot posts. The movement followed Greek Cypriot shooting earlier in the nearby village of Panodhikomo, east of the,-. Nicosia-Kyrenia road. British paratroops in the Turkish Cypriot village of Krini, south of the Kyrenia Mountains, were fired on by Greek Cypriots and warned they would return the fire if it continued. Krini is one of the permanent U.N. posts established last week with a public announcement that firing against them from either side would lead to instant retaliation. i

WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson today assailed opponents of the Senate civil rights bill who claim the legislation is only a political gimmick. Johnson said those who make this claim “are doing a gross injustice to the'* basic convictions of a democratic society.” Hie President made the remarks in an address prepared for delivery before the annual meeting here of the influential Advertising Council. The speech started a heavy day for the President, including a 4:30 p.m. EDT, open-air, televised news conference at the White House.

ed more than SIOO million to public service advertising, that the most dangerous threat to America is public apathy. Says Economy Healthy Stressing the health of the nation’s economy, the Chief Executive said that “almost every day brings more good news about the economy, and many people have been surprised by what this free enterprise system is doing.” “I am concerned, however, with some other aspects of America today,” the President said. It was in discussing various phases of the economic picture that he mentioned the civil rights bill. Johnson said he did not want Americans to “retreat from their responsibilities.” He said that if citizens burn their energy “on and trivial causes—on purposes that serve only their own narrow interests —democracy will inevitably suffer.” Urges Participation For that reason, he urged the Advertising i Council members to devote themselves this year “as private citizens to specific programs which will raise the quality of life in America.” “The war on poverty is going to succeed, for example, only if people like you are in the front lines,” Johnson said. “There is hardly a community in this country where poverty does not have some beachhead, and the hardest battles are going to' be fought right in your ho m e town.” The poverty attack, he said, is “a moral challenge that goes to the very root of our civi&aton and asks if we are willing to make personal sacrifices ’for *the public good.” Same Thing "I can say the same thing about the civil rights legislation now before the Congress,” Johnson said. “Those who say this is a ‘political gimmick’ are doing a gross injustice to .the basic convictions of a democratic society: That men cannot live unto themselves alone; that the right kind of democracy is bound together by the ties of neighborliness.” For the late afternoon news conference on the spacious south lawn of the White House, Johnson- came up with another new -twist for his frequent meetings with newsmen. He invited them to bring along their wives and children. The kids and the womenfolk will not be allowed to ask questions, however.
