Toft-HurtIey Law
Invoked by U. S.
To Halt Strike

NEW YORK; July q kAF). -
Shipping companies today
rushed preparations to get
strikebound ships moving again
after a Federal Judge ordered
a temporary halt to the 49,
day-old national maritime
Walkout.
A number of lines posted
sailing dates beginning tomor-
row.
United States District Judge
Sylvester j. Ryan issued the
order last night after President
Kennedy acted under the Taft
Hartley law on the basis of re-
ports that continuation of the
strike would imperil the ma
tional health and safety.
Three unions went before
United States Court of APP
peals Judge Charles E. Clark
seeking a stay of Judge Ryan's
temporary restraining order.
Judge Clark, who held a
2-hour hearing late last night
at his home at Hamden, Conn,
refused a stay. He said he saw
no compelling reason for him
to interfere with Judge Ryan's
ruling.
Negotiations Ordered
Judge Ryan'S order was di-
rected against the five striking
maritime unions, two maritime
unions whose members had re-
fused to cross picket lines and
several employer associations.
The order restraints both labor
and management groups from
engaging or taking part in a
strike or walkout" or otherwise
interfering with or affecting
the orderly continuance of work
in the maritime industry"
Unions and management were
ordered to resume collective
bargaining in an effort to settle
their contract disputes. The
unions were ordered to instruct
their members to resume nor
NAL employment"
Contempt of court charges
could be brought for violation
of the court order.
Judge Ryan directed repre-
sentativeS of the unions and
shipping companies to appear
before him Friday to argue on
the Governments request for
a permanent injunction setting
an 80-day cooling-off period
under the Taft-Hartley Act.
75-Day Order Seen
If the permanent injunction
is issued, it probably will be for
only rs days because Judge
Ryan'S order went into effect
last night.
Judge Ryan said in issuing
the order that he was Satisfied
that sufficient basis and evil
dence" had been presented by
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy'S office to support a
finding that ''irreparable harm
and injury" would be done to
the national safety if the strike
were not halted.
President Kennedy, who is
mentioning at Hyannis Port,
Mass, yesterday instructed the
Attorney General, his brother,
to ask for an injunction. The
President acted after receiving
reports from various Govern
ment agencies and from a fact
finding board he appointed
when he first invoked the Taft
Hartley Act week ago.
Lawyers for several unions
argued before Judge Ryan
against granting an Injunction.
Almost half of the American
merchant marine of passenger
ships, freighters and tankers
were free to sail before Judge
Ryan issued his order.
$50 Ships Involved
Contracts signed last week
end released about $40 ships.
About 100 ships were not af-
fected by the strike on the At
lantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts.

mander, Air Marshall Sir
Charles Elworthy, exceeded TO-
900 well-equipped regulars and
10000 Arab volunteers.
The airlift continued through
the night into Kuwait's Far
wanna Airport bringing the LIST
Royal Inniskilling FusileerS
from Kenya and other British
units.
Defense Positions Taken
Some moved straight into
main defense positions north
west of the capital. Others took
over from the I'd Coldstream
Guards who have been guard
ing the vital plant to distill
fresh water from the sea, the
largest in the world.
The crack CoIdstreamS were
ordered into the desert to Join
British paratroops, tanks and
marine commandos on guard
against Iraqi forces that Brit
ish intelligence agents said were
continuing to build up north of
the frontier.
The nights airlift brought
the British contribution to
Kuwait'S defense to 5000 men
plus air and navy support.
Saudi Arabian units totaling
1900 men already were reported
in forward positions. Kuwait's
own defense force totals
roughly 1000 regulars well
trained in the handling of Brit
ish tanks and armored cars.
HassOuna Arrives
Abdel Khalek HasSouna, Sec
rotary general of the Arab
League, arrived today for con-
situations with Sheik Abdullah
As-Salim As-Sabah, Kuwait'S
ruler who called on the British
for help after Iraqi Premier
Abdel Karin KasSem an
nounced he planned to take
over the oil-rich sheikdom as
1raqi territory.
Mr.. Hassouna told newsmen
he had met with Iraqi leaders
in Baghdad and now I've
arrived to learn the Kuwaiti
viewpoint. I believe a solution
can be found"
He drove straight from the
airport to the sheik's palace in
downtown Kuwait.
John Richmond, British dip
lomatic representative in Ku-
wait, told newSmen he believes
the best policy for the British
troops will be quick in, quick
out"
Might Ask U. N. Force
If the dispute drags on, he
said, the best solution would
probably lie in some way for
the Arab states to solve it
among themselves. Failing that,
he said, it might be necessary
to look to the United Nations
either for a force to police the
border or a U. N. commissioner
established to watch the situa-
ton.
Searching gale force winds
whipped up dense sandstorms
as paratroop and command
reinforcements moved into adj
vance desert positions north
west of the capital.
Most of them were used to
it. The British policy of keep
ing a strategic reserve abroad
meant the majority had expert
ence in extreme heat.

transport pipeline fed in sup
plies and vehicles. Heavy We

ever, claim the stamps push
the cost of everything up-in-
Guiding housewives.
Over the years, Congress has
successfully ducked the issue.
Back in 1871, the District,
under a form Of government
called home rule" placed into
the books something which
since has been known as the
gift enterprise" law.
The law, at that point, re-
quired someone conducting a
lottery, for example, to pay. an
annual license fee Of 81. 1000. But
after two years, and with Con-
'gresS regaining control of the
Federal City, the license re-
|quirement was repealed.
So-called gift enterprises
were prohibited and the new
version of the law carried q
penalty of 81, 900 or from one to
six months in jail. The laws
still there.
Code Definition
The point Of similar laws, ac-
cording to a court decision in
the 1870s, was to prevent of
fers of bargains which appeal
to the gambling instinct. and
induce people to- buy what they
do not want by the promise of
a gift or a prize \"
Today, the D. c. Code defines
a gift enterprise" in this man.

District residents be given a 10

in the way veterans are given
preference in civil service ex-
amniationS.
The proposal, made by the
councils Committee on En-
ployment and Education, was
one of several designed to help
idle youths find jobs here.
Such preference would give
jobs to people with ''lower cor

Government should hire the
most competent people it can
get, Mr.. Mclaughlin said.
