Oswald Read
Books On JFK,
Assassination

NEW ORLEANS CUPID - A
city library official said today
the FBI had examined records
which showed Lee Harvey OS-
wald last summer checked out
books on President John F.
Kennedy, political assassination,
spying and communism.
Oswald, the accused assassin
of President Kennedy who was
slain himself, was a native of
New Orleans and spent several
months here before going to
Texas last August.
Chief librarian Jerome Cush-
man said he would release only
the titles Of the books which APP
peared on Oswald's library card
for different dates earlier this
year.
They included portrait Of A
President" a Kennedy biogra-
ply by William Manchester;
"The Huey Long Murder Case"
an account of the assassination
of Louisiana Sen. Huey P. Long,
by Hermann B. Deutsch; and
a number Of cloak-and-dagger
novels.
Also on the list was Robert
Payne's biography Of Red Chi
mas Mao Tse-tung, Portrait Of
A Revolutionary and Russia

the tail to point away from the

Mr.. Malaise suggests the tail

tail wagged.
Astronomers don't know
which.
The wagging could mean, for
example, that the tail is being
affected by turbulence in the
solar "wind"-the fragments of
atoms thought to stream in all
directions from the sun.
A periodic variation in the
solar wind would be something
new. The reporter of the wag-
ging, Daniel Malaise, says it
occurred at four-day intervals
and it would be difficult to i'm
agine why the solar wind would
vary so regularly.

The United States Informa-

Donald George Smith. an en-
ploye missing for two weeks,

The missing man has been
located at the home of a
brother, DR.. N. Deane Smith,
a spokesman for the USIA said,

Authorities said then the miss
ing man was believed to have

cash and securities which he
had withdrawn recently from

The 40-year-old Mr.. Smith

Argentina and the United

the source. That was when the

issued which merely referred to
the oil issue in vague terms"
Argentina insists the con-
tracts are illegal because they
were never submitted to Con-
gress but were entered into by
a decree issued by Arturo From

Financing Cited
Major oil company repre-
sentatives met with Mr.. Harri-
man yesterday before he left

meeting Of the Alliance for

Pilot Case Injunction
Held Gripping Board

ALPA then filed a suit in
Washington asking for an in
junction against the election,
which was slated for this
month.
ALPA's attorneys, Martin
ODonoghue of Washington and
Herbert Levy of New York, said
that Judge Sirica should bar
any election until the New
York courts make a finding on
the unfair labor practices
charge. A finding in ALPA's ia
vor, they argued, would elirni-
nate Allied as the bargaining
agent until the faint Of the I'M
fair practice wore away, and
that could be two or three years.
JuridictiOn DiscIaime
In the arguments before Judge
Sirica yesterday, Howard E.
Shapiro Of the Justice Depart
ment told the court it had no
jurisdiction to issue the injunc-
ton because courts generally
will not interfere with agency
procedures until after some fl
nal action is taken - in this
case, the election.
Mr.. Shapiro then pleaded with
Judge Sirica to realize what he
said would happen after the in
junction is isued. Any allega-
ton of an unfair labor prac-
tice, Mr.. Shapiro said, could
stall the boards certification
elections until after the courts
had made determinations on
the unfair labor charges.
The board, which handles I'M
ion disputes in the railways
and airlines, was set UP in 1927
under the Railway Labor Act
specifically to obtain quick
elections In labor controver-
sizes so that employees, manage
ment and competing unions
would know who to deal with.
Although Judge Sirica said he
Sympathized with the Govern
ment's contention, he also said
that should Allied win the cleo
ton and then be found guilty
of an unfair labor practice,
ALPA would have suffered ir-
reparable damage.
And Mr.. Shapiro said tn a t
once the board has certified a
union, there is some question
as to whether it can then de-
certify the union.
The power of the board to
decertify, said a board employee,
sis the $64 question" that has
never been answered by the
courts.

An Injunction issued by
Judge John j, Sirica of tn
United States District Court in
the bitter year-od American
Airlines union dispute will
seriously cripple the National
Mediation Board functioning
the Government claims.
The injunction - the second
one issued against a union rep
reSentational election in the 81
year history of the board
will open up the flood gates
for host of prediction in
functions, the Government
says.
The result, the Government
contends, will be to tie up the
National Mediation Board GER
tification ocedures for
months and even years when
the board now can dispose Of a
union representational dispute
within a maximum of so days.
In addition, the injunction
leaves the LOO American Air
line pilots and copilots still up
in the air after a year of con-
troversy between the Airline Pr
lots Association and the Allied
Pilots Association, the two COM
peting unions.
Issue Since December
The case arose last December
when ALPA and American
could not reach a contract
agreement after months of ne
gotiations. ALPA, which repre-
sents the pilots on all major
airlines, had been the bargain
ing agent with American since
1899.
However, when the negotia-
tons broke down, a group Of
dissident pilots formed Allied
and signed a contract with
American In March. ALPA
charged that American had vi
olated the Railway Labor Act
by using coercion and other IL
legal methods to pressure its
pilots into joining the new
union.
ALPA then filed an action in
the Southern District of New
York alleging unfair labor prac-
tees and asking for an injunc-
ton against both American
and Allied to stop the alleged
practices.
In April, Allied filed an ap-
plication with the mediation
board asking for an election
and claiming that it now rep
resents a majority of the pilots.

preparing for promotional ex-
animation.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir.
ray said the classes, never Of
fered before, will begin Mon
day and continue until the ex-
animation date the latter part
Of October.
Glasses will be held from
1880 until $50 pm. Mondays
through Fridays at the Police

The program will be under
the direction of Police Inspec-
tor Alexander S. Douglas, di-
rector of the Police Academy
and Training Section.
Captains of the various divi-
sions within the department
q will act as instructors.
Two Tests
The classes will be open to all
members of the department
eligible for promotion and who
are off duty during instruction
periods.
To be eligible for promotion
an individual must pass both
written and evaluation tests
Tests are given for the grade
of sergeant, lieutenant and cap
tain.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-03

The written examination ac-
counts for 40 per cent of a
mans score. An evaluation by
an individuals commanding Of
ficer and a special board of
officers accounts for so per
cent of the overall test score.
The written examinations are
considered by many police
men as being very difficult and
many men who successfully pass
the exam devote most of their
spare hours for a year or more
to studying for the test.
Some Criticism
There has been some criti-
cism that the written examina-
tons have eliminated som e
Negro officers who sought pro-
motions.
In the last examinations it
was found that Of seven men
who were rated eligible for pro-
motion to detective lieutenant,
one of them was a Negro. Two
of the IL men who were listed
as eligible for promotion to de-
tective sergeant were Negroes;
one of nine who were ligible
for promotion to precinct de-
tective was a Negro and one of
10 eligible for promotion to de-
tective was a Negro.
There are now three Negroes
who are lieutenants. One of the
men is in the uniform division
and the others are detective
lieutenants.
There are about 400 Negro
policemen on the 2,900-m a n
force.
