CAB Orders
Airline to
Bargain
BY the Associated Press

The Civil Aeronautics Board
ruled today in a landmark de-
cision that Southern Airways,
Atlanta, Ga, has been guilty
of unfair and illegal bargaining
tactics in a two-year strike dis
pute with the Air Line Pilots
Association.
The CAB divided 3 to 2 in
ruling that Southern must re-
sumo bargaining in good faith
with the pilots union within 80
days or face proceedings to lose
its airline operating license.
Southern is a feeder airline
serving several Southeastern
States.
Officials said it was the first
time the CAB has issued such a
decision-in effect an unfair
labor practice ruling similar to
those made by the National
Labor Relations Board. Air
lines are covered by the Rail-
way Labor Act.
The board acted on charges
brought by the pilots union
that Southern had failed to
exert every reasonable effort,
as required by the Railway La
Dor Act, to make and maintain
an agreement with the pilots
on their pay and working con-
ditions.
A strike began on June 5,
1860, has not been settled
although the airline has con-
tinued to operate with substi-
tute nonunion pilots.
The CAB said the union and
the carrier reached agreement
on all important economic is
sues in July, 1860, about a
month after the strike began,
but deadlocked on other issues.
These included Southern's
rejection Of the pilots demand
for dismissal of the substitute
pilots to make way for the
strikers to return to their old
jobs. The company also claimed
the full right to discipline the
strikers.
The board ruled that the
company's stand on both issues
was illegal.

RefugeeFIOw
Ends Abruptly

HONG KONG, May IS (AP)
The mass flight Of refugees
across the Chinese Communist
border into Hong Kong stopped
abruptly today. 1t appeared
that Chinese authorities had
taken positive action to choke
off an exodus which had poured
10000 refugees into teeming
Hong Kong since May l.
In an official statement,
British authorities said the sit
uation on the border "is now
rapidly reverting to normal"
They said British army units
have been withdrawn from pa
troll activity and that a de-
tention camp in which refugees
were held until they could be
returned to Red China has been
closed.
The reference to normal
conditions apparently meant
that q trickle of refugees trying
to slip into Hong Kong was
expected to continue. That
trickle swelled into q torrent
in the past few weeks, causing
harried British authorities to
appeal to the Peiping govern
ment for action to halt the
flights.
Action Unknown
1t was not Immediately es-
tablished what action the Com
munist authorities and guards
had taken on the other side Of
the border.

sufficient fuel reserve for steer
ing his capsule.
The capsules blunt end is
supposed to be pointing forward
and canted upward about "a
degrees above the horizon. This
gives the best braking action
when the small retrorockets fire
and slow the capsule below
orbital velocity Of 1900 miles
an hour.
Comdr. Carpenter had his
capsule headed forward, all
right, but it was angled upward
only about 24-26 degrees. It
has not been determined yet
why this should have been the
case; faulty instruments or in
adequate steering-fuel supply
could be explanations.
When the instant came for
the firing Of the retros, a brief
delay occurred. This was only
a matter of very few seconds,
two, three, possibly five. But
it contributed to the suspense
full re-entry situation.
The fuel system for the steer
ing Of the Mercury capsule is
based on the chemical hydro
gen peroxide. High-strength
peroxide is decomposed to steam
and the steam is expelled in
tiny Jets through "thrusters''
located about the capsules ex-
terror.
There are two separate fuel
systems. one for automatic
steering and one for manual.
There are three ways to steer
the capSule-full automatic,

Carpenter In Real Danger
Tracking Team Indicates
AStronuut
Called Tired,
Confused

CAPE CANAvERAL, Fla,
May IS (AP) Malcolm Scott
Carpenter may have been in
more danger during his triple
flight around the earth than
even he realized, it was dis
closed today.
The communications team
that tracked Comdr. Carpenter
on three orbits around the
earth indicated today that he
may have become dangerously
tired-even confused-on the
last time around.
This startling information
came to light in post-flight
discussion. by radio hockup,
among all II stations on the
Project Mercury worldwide
network.
1t could help explain why the
Aurora-7 capsule re-entered
the atmosphere at such a shall
low angle, at the end of its
orbital journey yesterday, that
it overshot the planned land
ing area by some $50 miles.
1t might also account in part
for the dead silence from
Comdr. Carpenter that mysti-
fled and alarmed millions, and
threw searchers into a vast
man-hunt, from the moment
Of re-entry until the astronaut
was located some Al minutes
later.
Did Something Else
The tracking station at
Kauai. Hawaii, said that when
1t instructed Comdr. Carpenter
to get ready to fire his braking
rockets, on the approach to
California, "he started doing
something else"
I'VE had the impression that
he was very confused about
what was going on, but it was
very difficult to assess whether
he was confused or preoccu-
pied" the station said.

tenn should have been used.

ton to the complex dilemma
in about two weeks.
His choices:
Move the facilities-thereby
adding about $25 million to the
cost of the missiles and de-
laying a substantial part of the
American missile program by
months.
Buy the homes, churches and
schools in the possible danger
areas and move the civilians
out; also block off some coun-
try roads and move railroad
tracks in some cases.
Or waive the safety stand
ards of the Armed Services Ex-
plosives Safety Board and use
the Air Force standards.
Warheads Not Involved
All parties to the dispute en-
phasize that the problem does
not involve the nuclear war
heads of the Minuteman mis-
siles. The danger is from pos

propels the rockets, not from
accidental explosion of the war

Demolition of the White
hurst freeway was called for
today by Chloethiel Woodard
Smith, the city's foremost re-
development architect, as the
necessary key to renewal of
the Georgetown waterfront"
Her proposal was contained
in new plan submitted to
the National Capital Planning
Commission by the George
town Canal and Riverside
Council for renewal of the area.
Planners and city officials
should agree to scrap the 5000
foot-long elevated structure
blfghting the riverfront area
and concede its construction
in the late 1940S was a mistake,
Mrs. Smith said. The freeway
extends from Rock Creek Park
to Key Bridge at a height of
about 40 feet.
There is no use talking
about urban renewal of George
towns waterfront so long as
this obsolete elevated structure
remains to blight the area
permanently" she said.
Hits Addition Plan Too
Likewise unjustified, she
maintained, is construction of
IA 4-lane addition to the
elevated structure, as provided
for in current District highway
plans.
Efforts to live with this
major scar are misguided"
the Washington architect said.
Attempts to minimize its
impact will be Intellectual or
cost far more than the demo-
lition of the existing freeway.
"An elevated 8-lane structure
will eat up at least a tenth
of the Georgetown waterfront
area and will blight at least
twice that amount"

Fighting for Life,

Assembly Opens
By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, May 25.-Rural
lawmakers stiffened their re-
sistance today to Gov. Tawes'
plan for giving urban areas
more representation in the
Maryland House of Delegates.
Three separate plans were
prepared for introduction as
State lawmakers convened here
in special session at 10:45 am.
under court order to reappor-
ton House membership.
One is the administration
supported proposal which would
give 10 more Delegates to the
four suburban counties and
Baltimore.
Another has been drafted by
Senator Frederick C. Malkus, a
leading spokesman for the
Eastern Shore. This also would
give the urban areas more rep
resentation, but considerably
less than the administration S
plan.
The third was drafted by
Delegate Fred Driscoll, Repub-
lican of Allegany, and it also
would do less for the urban
areas than the administration
bill.
We're fighting for our life, !"
said Senator Malkus, chairman
of the Senate Judicial Proceed
ingS Committee. He said the
administration bill would even
tually put control of the State
Gin the hands of three or four
big counties"
Predicts Long Fight
He predicted that if the
urban areas and Gov. Tawes
insists on the administrations
bill the lawmakers will be here
a long time" His Judicial Pro-
ceedings Committee will han
die the reapportionment bills
in the Senate.
Gov. Tawes wants to get leg
islation enacted by next Thurs
day so that the urban areas
could elect additional House
members this November.
Eastern Shore Delegates held
q caucus last night and re-
portedly decided to oppose ad-
amantly any form of reappor-
tionment.
They expressed resentment
at what they termed inter-
ference Of the courts in legisla-
tive processes.
One Delegate said he was
prepared to call for the elec-
ton of judges "every four
years, since they have come
down to the level of politics"
Judges in the circuits and on
the Court Of Appeals now are
elected for 15-year terms.
Might Stand Fast
Another Shore Delegate said
the group might stand fast
against reapportionment in any
form and "see what the courts
can do about enforcing their
decision"
Gov. TaweS called the special
