Ironically. his Inauguration

when controversy over Medi-

The Kennedy Administration

DR.. Annis, who is SO, bald

Lord AIonbrooke Dies,

LONDON, June II (AP)
Field Marshal Viscount Alan
brooke. 70, British World War
II leader. died today at his
home at Hartley Whitney,
Hampshire.
He was chief Of the Imperial
General staff through most of
World War II, from 194l to
1916. He was promoted to field
marshal in 1914 and became a
viscount In 1915, shortly after
which he altered his name
from Alan Francis Brooke to
Alanbrooke.
Lord Alanbrooke commanded
the I'd Army Corps Of the Brit

France from 1899 to 1910. After
the retreat from Dunkirk he
became Commander in Chief
OF Home Forces until his pro-

were published.
In the first installment OF his

In Rail Crisis

Railroad management and

another extended round of
talks aimed at settling their
work rules dispute.
The threat OF presidential
action If they fail to come to
agreement by a July 10 dead
line hangs over the two sides
as they meet with members of
the National Mediation Board,
Secretary of Labor Writ and
James J. Reynolds, assistant
secretary for labor manage
ment relations.
The July 10 deadline was an
nounced Saturday after both
sides met with President Ken
nedy at the White House. I'm
der an earlier agreement, the
deadline was midnight tonight,
after which the roads would be
free to make the work rule
changes and the unions to
strike.
Mr.. Writ held preliminary
meetings with both sides yes

the serious sessions beginning
today. If the carriers and the
five operating unions fail to
settle their differences by July
10, Mr.. Kennedy has said the
alternative would be to seek
legislation to protect the pub

The key issue In the linger-

are unnecessary and costly and

CountyUnitAsks Action
On Funds for Teachers

A Montgomery County group
urging the restoration Of

the action would bring the
county another 100000 in
State aid.
Philander P. Claxton, jr., ex-

said the State school aid would
help pay the $1.2 million
needed to hire the additional
teachers.

ton said the matter falls with

for which supplemental appro-
priations may be made by the

parable to the sudden loss of

Mr.. Claxton based his COM
parison on school board esti-
mates that nearly 5000 addi-
tional students are expected
next September while the
county council authorized only
% new teachers out Of the 222
requested by the school board.
The increased enrolment,
without the additional 200
teachers, will crowd classes just
as though two or three schools
were suddenly destroyed by
fire, Mr.. Claxton said.
He said the matter represents

DANVILLE, Va, June H.
Attorneys for more than 100
Negroes charged with contempt
of a Danville Corporation Court
injunction against mass racial
demonstrations turned to a
Federal court today in a move
to block their scheduled trials.
William l.. Kuntsler, an at
torney for the American Civil
Liberties Union, revealed the
intended move after other
charges against about so dem
onstrators were continued until
June 81 in Municipal Court.
Mr. Kuntsler is among a
battery of seven local and out
side attorneys constituting a
legal defense committee for
those facing assorted charges.
Scheduled for hearings in
Corporation Court today are
los freedom marchers and sit
In demonstrators arrested since
Corporation Court Judge A. M.
Aiken signed temporary in
junction against such activities.
They are accused of contempt.
Civil War Statute
Mr.. Kuntsler told reporters
the defense will invoke a rarely
used statute dating from the
Civil War era by filing an in
junction petition in Federal
District Court before this aft
ernoon's scheduled trials. AS he
explains it, this action auto
matically will suspend action
in the lower court, at least
temporarily, until the State of
Virginia re-establishes juris-
diction.
Municipal Court Judge Calvin
Berry meanwhile was to hear
charges against IS persons,
mostly women and children,
arrested Saturday in two
marches held in the face of a
new city ordinance passed the
previous day against such
demonstrations. Il

. If convicted. the marchers
face penalties of one year in
Jail and $500 fines each. They
refused to make bond and re-
manned in Jail over the week
end. ,
Judge Berry also will try
eight accused of assault and
three for breach of the peace
in the series of civil rights dis
plays. Police and firemen used
night sticks and high-pressure
hoses to subdue demonstrators ,
at the city hall, during the
first marches.
