Strike of B&O
Set for Friday,
Mediutors Told

CLEVELAND, Oct. Q tAP) -
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen told the National
Mediation Board today it plans
to strike the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad at 8 am. Friday.
The strike date has been sp-
proved by Unon President w.
p. Kennedy. Notification of
its strike intentions, stemming
from a series of unsettled union
demands, was sent by the union
to the Mediation Board in
Washington.
In normal procedure in such
cases, the Mediation Board now
would step into the dispute and
automatically delay strike &C
ton for at least 30 days.
Major issues in the dispute
involve changes in work rules
sought by the union. some of
them having been the subject
of negotiations since 1857.
The union wants a rule that
when helper engines are used
they be placed ahead Of, in
stead of behind, cabooses. Also,
it seeks a union-management
conference before any yard or
road positions are eliminated.
About $500 trainmen would
be affected by a strike.

Second, the court could is
sue a finding that the Gov
ernor has or has not purged
himself of contempt.
Third, the court could ask
the Federal Government for its
recommendations - as 1t did
last week when the Tuesday
deadline was set.
Decline to SpecuSete
Justice officials refused to
speculate on what the court
might do. They said. however,
that they had not been asked
to appear at q hearing or make
a report yet.
A possibility that has not been
overlooked is that the court
could levy a fine at the rate Of
$40, 900 a day on the theory
that the Governor did not CO.
operate to the extent Of main
tanning order on the university
campus.
AS Of today, the administra-
ton and the Governor don't see
eye to eye on that any more
than they do on any other part
Of the courts order.
The Governor is blaming the
Federal Government for the
campus rioting on the ground
that he couldn't maintain or
der when his National Guard
was Federalized.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy and Burke Marshall,
the assistant attorney gen.
eral in charge Of the Civil
Rights Division, insist that re-
gardless of what the Governor
says, the fact of the matter
is that the State police were
withdrawn during the critical
hours of violence on the
campus.

that Gov. Barnett opened the
way for campus violence by

fenSe.
They are understood to feel
also that Gov. Barnett talked
one way in private to them and

tributing to the failure of ef-

1t Is a tragic hour when the
President of the United States
sends Federal troops and mar
shals into a peaceful COM
munity and causes violence,
bloodshed and death.
U. 8. Marshals Fired First
The reckless, trigger-happy
Federal marshals were directly
responsible for the violence at
the university last evening. The
Mississippi highway patrol, In
an effort to keep the peace,
had the cooperation Of stu
dents when, without provoca-
ton the marshals fired tear
gas shells directly into the
bodies of our highway patrol
men and unarmed students
This was the unwarranted and
unnecessary action that pre-
cipitated the violence.
Now, a newspaper man has
been killed. Two people are
dead. Many are wounded. Five
highway patrolmen were Sc
riously injured. victims Of a
reckless, inexperienced and
highly nervous group Of mar
shals who went completely
wild last evening on the cam
pus of the university.
I deeply deplore and vigor-
ously resent the reckless shoot
ing Of tear gas shells by Fed
eral marshals into the bodies
Of unarmed and defenseless
students.
The responsibility for this
unwarranted breach Of the
peace and violence in Mis-
siSSippi rests directly with the
President of the United States
He ordered armed forces to
invade Mississippi and their
actions were directly respon-
sible for violence. bloodshed
and death.
1 urge our people to calmness
and 1 call on the President to
put a stop to further violence
by the immediate removal OF
Meredith and the withdrawal
OF Federal troops and marshals
from Mississippi soil. When
this Is done, peace will pre-
vail again in Mississippi.

Federal Officials Warned
More than IS hours before

the National Guard away from

plosive situation in our State

we're repeatedly warned of the
danger involved. I did not
know that the Federal Gov
eminent had actually placed
Meredith in the University Of
Mississippi until I was advised
of this fact by Federal Off
cials.
Since the Federal Govern
ment has put Meredith at the
University of Mississippi,
have repeatedly urged the Fed
eral officials TO remove Mere
dith from the campus and from
Mississippi. I have, and I shall
continue to handle this diff
cult situation in a manner
which will avoid violence and
bloodshed If humanity possible
In this matter the Federal
Government has been the ag-
gressor from the outset. II

The contempt action was
based on a temporary restrain
ing order, issued September Is,
that barred Gov. Barnett and
a whole host of State officials
from interfering with Mr..
Meredith's attempt to enter
the university.
The State moved yesterday
to dissolve the restraining or
der-and thus in effect drop
the basis of the contempt ac-
ton.
But after a hearing, Presid-
ing Judge Richard =. Rives of
Montgomery, Ala, said the ap-
peals court had no plans at
present to set aside the re-
straining order.
The three judge court gave
State attorneys until Friday to
file additional memoranda.
The Justice Department was
given until October 9 to reply,
the Associated Press reported
from New Orleans.
The States contention was
that since the appeals court
lacked authority to issue the
restraining order since it was
based on an Injunction or
dering Mr.. Meredith'S admis-
sion to the university-issued
the day after the court had
sent the case back to the
United States District Court
where 1t originated.
Another appeals court hear
ing is scheduled Friday on a

replace the temporary restrain

BARNETT TEXT

JACKSON. Miss. Oct. 2
(AP) - Gov. Ross Barnett
blames President Kennedy and
"trigger-happy Federal Mar
shals" with touching off strife
that has claimed two lives at
the University of Mississippi.
Gov. Barnett appealed last
night to Mr.. Kennedy to remove
James H. Meredith. the Negro
whose desegregation efforts led
to the violence, and the Federal
forces from the oxford campus
to restore order.
The 64-year-old Governor
made his charges and his ap-
.pealS in two statements read
before televiSion cameras "a
hours after violence erupted on
the university campus following
Mr.. Meredith's arrival.
THE responsibility for this
unwarranted breach of peace
and violence in Mississippi rests
directly with the President Of
the United States" Gov. Bar
nett said. He ordered armed
forces to invade Mississippi and
their actions were directly re-
sponsible for violence, blood
shed and death"

Gov. Barnett's two state-
ments were similar. The first

Leaders Back
Use Of Troops
In Mississippi
BY the Associated Press

Dem ocratic congressional
leaders voiced solid support to-
day for President Kennedy's
action in sending troops to
quell integration violence in
Oxford. Miss.
Senate Republican Leader
DirkSen also backed the Presi-
dents action to uphold court
orders for the enrolment of
James H. Meredith. Negro,
In the all-white University of
Mississippi. Il
Senator Dirksen said in an
interview he is withholding any
decision on possible Republican
participation in a scheduled
Senate Judiciary Committee in
vestigation of the bloody riot
ing in oxford until he can con-
fer with Chairman EaStland,
Democrat Of Mississippi.
Orders Investigation
Senator Eastland last night
ordered an investigation into
"all events since United
States marshals and Army
troops moved in." Senator East
land read to the Senate yester-
day a report from university
officials contending that riot
ing started after the fIlarShals
fired tear gas shells into a
crowd Of students and others.
Senator Dirksen, a member
of the Judiciary Committee,
said he wants to know more
about the scope of Senator
Eastland's proposed investfga-
tion before he decides whether
Republicans ought to partici-
pate in it.
Senator Eastland's order for
the inquiry, of course, could be
challenged by other commit
tee members. If it were, he
probably would need the sup
port of Republican members to
give the investigation any air
of nonpartisanship whic h
could lend weight to findings
1t might produce.
Cautious Approach
The Republicans approached
this situation cautiously. Many
Of them felt - as did many
Democrats = that Mr.. Ken
nedy's course in Mississippi
would hurt his party in the
South but help it in populous
Northern and Western States
where it counts most.
Republicans would be happy
to have the Democratic split
re-emphasized in the weeks re-
naming before the November
election. But not many of
them would be willing to en-
danger their chances for
gains in New York, Pennsy-
vania. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan
and California. for what at best

The Government, the Justice
Department. spokesman edded,
would like to get the troops
and United States marshals out
of Ole Miss and Oxford as soon
as possible. This would depend
on local conditions, he empha-
sized.
Mr.. Meredith went to class
today with his reluctant fellow
students without incident.
He left his guarded campus
apartment shortly before 8
am. (CSD and rode to his
first class with an escort of
white -helmeted marshals.
Reporters were unable to
learn Immediately how the
white students in his history
course reacted to his presence.
However. so minutes later, Mr..
Meredith emerged from the
history building looking neat,
unruffled and purposeful.
In contrast to Mr.. Meredith,
who wore q natty brown suit,
light shirt and tie, United
States Marshal James McShane
looked like a man who has had
little sleep for the past 48hours
as he led Mr.. Meredith to his
second class Of today, political
science.
Armed soldiers were posted
every few yards on the campus
and at every entrance to the
university. One platoon OF
regular infantry pitched pup
tents o nthe university circle
lawn during the night amid
lingering fumes of the tear gas
that broke up the Sunday riot
and the rubble Of broken glass
bricks and cannisters for the
tear-gas shells used to suppress
the violence.
The large forct of marshals
and troops early today, evac-
uaetd the command post they
had established in the Lyceum
administration building Of the
university, and moved opera
tions to the nearby faculty
building.
The officials in command
here reported there was no fir
ing and no violence during the
night in or near oxford, al
though a number Of men were
taken into custody by Army
troops when weapons were
found in their cars.
The Army moved in yester-
day and cleared the town Of

rioting on the university cam
pus Sunday night and Monday
morning was followed by spo-
