CHICAGO, April "a (AP).-
A temporary restraining order
issued by a Federal court has
prevented a strike set for 6
am. today by the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen against
the Santa Fe Railroad in a
work rules dispute.
The work stoppage would
have involved some 5000 train
men on Santa Fe trains be-
tween Chicago and Albuquer-
que, N. Mex.
Judge Julius j. Hoffman OF
United States District Court Is
sued a temporary restraining
order yesterday that halted the
strike. He scheduled q hearing
for Monday on a motion by
the Santa Fe for a temporary
Injunction.
The dispute grew out of pro.

Kennedy Picks
0rdman for
NLRB Post

President Kennedy today
picked Arnold Ordman, chief
counsel to Chairman Frank w.
McCulloch, to be the next gen.
eral counsel of the National
Labor Relations Board.
Mr.. Ordman, 81. would sue
coed Stuart Rothman, a Re-
publican, former solicitor of the
Labor Department. His term as
NLRB general counsel expires
May 13.
Mr.. Ordman's designation for
the chief NLRB counsel's job
may draw some opposition. on
the ground that his position
as Mr.. McCulloch's onetime as
sistant might narrow some
what the separation intended
by Congress between general
counsel and board.
Has Absolute Power
The NLRB general counsel is
clothed under the law with alb
solute power in determining
which cases are to be prose-
cuted. His decisions on such
matters cannot be appealed to
the five-man NLRB or to the
courts. He controls labor law
violation prosecutions and de-
fends NLRB decisions in the
courts.
Mr.. Ordman, a native Of
Somersworth, N. H., has been
principal legal adviser to Mr..
McCulloch since the outset Of
President Kennedy's admins
tration.
The five-man board under
Mr.. McCulloch, former aide to
Senator Douglas, Democrat Of
Illinois, has been under rather
strong business criticism Of

Professors Hit Fmgerprinting Of Teachers

A resolution opposing the
fingerprinting of teachers as a
condition of employment was
adopted at meeting of the
Maryland conference of the
American Association of Uni.
versity Professors held recent
ly at College Park.
The resolution was introduced
by the Montgomery Junior Col
lege delegation. The Montgom-
cry County school system, of
which the junior college is a
part, requires fingerprinting of
all school employees including
teachers.
The county school boards
four-member majority has push
ed for turning over all teacher
fingerprints to county police for
them to check but the move has
been blocked thus far by teach
ers who are opposing the plan.

The fact that a certain ID
families moved into the coun-
ty during the past year
doesn't make news, but when
you consider they are Negro
and their new neighbors well
cpmed them without vio-
lence, that then perhaps is
news.
The reason their move didn't
make headlines was due, in
large part, to the workings of a
group of interested citizens who
paved the way for them by in
forming their neighbors of the
true facts of the situation, dis
polling their natural fears and
avoiding any possible violence.
Since they have moved in,
there has been no mass exodus
on the part Of their neighbors,
property values are still the
same and in some cases higher,
and the communities are enjoy
ing the peace and quiet Of sub.

When Negroes Move In
Housing Group Has Succeeded
In FOrestaIIing Panic Sales

November, 1862, the Suburban

The president is Rev. John
Wiley Prugh, pastor of St. An
drew's Presbyterian Church,
and he is Joined by men and
women who represent all faiths,
all types of organizations and
professions.
The organization promotes
not only open occupancy, so
that every American family has
an opportunity to buy or rent a
house anywhere regardless of
his race, religion or national
origin, but it also promotes
community stability, so that
when a Negro family does join
a formerly all-white community,
there is no panic selling and no
unpleasant incidents.
Rev. Prugh is a man deeply
involved in this problem, but
one who also has to carry the
burdens of the spiritual care of
his congregation and the admin
istrative problems of the
church.
In discussing accomplish
ments of the past year, he notes
with great satisfaction that
there have been no incidents
here such as the one in Full

ings there are always those who
bring with them the usual fears
and apprehensions, but these
fears are often dispelIed by hav-
ing a Negro couple attend the
meeting.
Their presence also relieves
some of the tension.
The work of the housing
group is being helped consider
ably by clergyman of all faiths,
who have made numerous ap-
peals to their congregations.
And Rev. Prugh has also had
the indirect help of many real
tors and builders, whom he
notes, have dissauded home
owners from selling when a
Negro family has moved in.
He reports that on one Occa-
sion six families In a formerly
aIl-white neighborhOOd went to
another community In order to
buy homes and were told by the
developer, who could have six
sales in one afternoon, to wait
several months, and then IL
you know what you're doing
come back"
AS an international agency,
Rev. Prugh distributes facts
concerning the problem that
many people just don't know.
Some of them concern the
misconception that once a
Negro family moves in there
will be a mass move on the part
of other Negroes.
He points out this is not true
for several reasons.
One is that the majority of
Negroes don't want to be the
first in a neighborhod to face a
possible unfriendly community,
and second, in most cases,
Negro families are looking for
homes in the $4,000 to $4,000
category.
The cost Of the majority Of
the newly built homes here
start at a higher price range.
But as more industrial and
commercial industries move
here, and as the District be-
comes more and more crowded,
it is inevitable that more
Negroes as well as whites will
want to live closer to where
they work, and can afford to
do so.
There are currently six Negro
families who have bought
homes in residential, all-white
communities in the county, but
who, have not as yet, moved in.
The fears of homeowners
who have made the biggest in
vestment of their lives is under
standable, but unwarranted,
SMITH believes strongly.
Rev. Prugh and SMITH are
trying to demonstrate that and
SO far success has met their
efforts.

Neither Miss Olds' boat, the

could get some fun and sun
with congenial people in the
summertime.
Miss OldS was the first to fall

the plunge without knowing
what she was getting into -
indeed at that point she didn't

It started when she used to

The next step was to discuss
the idea with q boat-builder

plans and suggested that in
stead of a plain raft, that a
railing be built around it. Then
she suggested he make a place
for a large umbrella. Then she
thought Of enclosing part of

At this point the carpenter
