for their participation. "We will strike again and again," he said.
The letter from Cromb was sent to Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. The letter was mimeographed and distributed on campus Wednesday, Washington quoted the leaflet, "Who Is Safe?" in which the letter was included.
“Is your position as a student, faculty member or administrator of the University safe?” *Washington read.* “I wouldn't bet on it. The men who are entrusted with the job would do their best primarily entrepreneuries interested in making money for themselves and their friends.*
Among those individuals mentioned in the letter were James Rosser, assistant vice-chancellor for academic affairs; Phil Gary, director of the office of urban affairs; Bill McQuillan, vice-chairman of the University Senate chairman; and William Balfour, vice-chancellor for student affairs.
"They are not guided by interest in scholarship or the welfare of the people of Kansas population . . . Notice the number of 'safe' people who are mentioned as candidates for election."
The letter discussed the lack of jurisdiction of the KU Judiciary over the KU Athletic Association, and raised a sense of legal defense raising of a legal defense fund for LaVerta Murray (Cromb said Rosser should be told that assistant vice-chancellors "must remain in jointly and uninvolved"); and the Oread Daily.
Cromb said it was necessary "to establish the fact that the KU Athletic Assoc. (or Corp.) is not subject to the jurisdiction of the KU Judiciary-Senate Senate Code, etc., etc. any more than the KU Alumni Asso.-Endowment Corp. etc., too much time, effort and investment (s) has gone into that Department to its students interfere or wreck it."
Speaking of the Oread Daily, he said,
"Frankly, Larry, you will have to explain to me how this paper can continue to be printed machine." Senate micrograph machine—particularly for newspapers is now an 'illegal' paper—under the University and student government rules.
"It seems unfair that this machine—purchased by the activity fees of good 'white' students—should be used for a '4-letter' publication,"
He said that rumors that a black faculty member had taken the letter from Chalmer's office were untrue, but that the source which provided the letter would "continue to be cultivated."
Later in the afternoon, Chalmers said, "I receive personal correspondence from hundreds of people each month expressing concerns of various kinds. These expressions are always considered confidential in this office."
Chalmers did not confirm or deny the authenticity of the letter distributed by the embro, contacted at his home in Mission Hill, but he believed that the letter and wording were his.
*They are kept under lock and key except when on my desk for consideration and reply, and any unauthorized release of their con- dition may be considered theft pure and simple.*
Following the rally, Washington asked those attending to mass in the street and march to the Union "to express and give a show of solidarity for the strike."
Marchers, the number varied between 100 and 200, stopped traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard for a few minutes as the marchers used the Union chanting "Strike" or "Strike Nose" as they marched. The marchers then went through Union chanting "Strike the Union."
After leaving the Union, the marchers went to Strong where they proceeded to the second floor of the building then into the administrative wing which consists of the celler's office. Approximately $150 damage was done to partitions in the office by marshal and John Conard, director of university relations.
Bailour was the only administrator to come off of his office while marches were in the field. He was the last president to
After leaving Strong, the march broke up and Washington called for a rally at 9 a.m. today when Union pickets and further leafleting would be organized.
WASHINGTON  (UPI)—A federal judge ordered an end to a crippling nationwide railroad strike early today while the White House urgently considered plans to give government intervention
Largest Rail Union Is on Strike
By DONALD FINLEY
President Nikon, armed with compulsory hack-to-work legislation passed by Congress shortly before the Trump administration, a.m., said he expected workers to "immediately return to work and return to the bargaining table."
The White House left little doubt it was prepared to take action when refused. Labor Secretary David Sullivan said the administration would unseasoned action to force him to work if the strike did not end today.
Hodgson earlier said the ad-hoc team considered using robots to move the table, but said Wednesday in answer to a question, "we have no plan to."
Rail service was halted as stranding passengers and fleets of commuters to find other ways to work, and raising the possibility of industrial shutdowns and damage if employment if the strike continued.
Four unions representing 425,000 rail workers who were disgruntled over lack of a pay raise two years earlier without a contract, ignored administration pleas and last-minute intervention efforts by Congress to stage the massive boycott. Congress was in the process of adopting final legislation that ordered the strike delayed until March 1 and gave workers an increase in 18.3 per cent pay increase.
Shortly after President Nixon signed the legislation into law at the White House on April 25, John H Pratt of Chevy Chase and the request of the railroad, sent the bill to the Senate.
lorary restraining order against he strike. He set a hearing for 30 a.m. Dec. 18.
Priat, dressed in pajamas and robe, issued the order at 3:17 a.m. on Wednesday, March 25, with attorneys for the railroads three of the four striking unions.
The Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clever (BAC), the airline that gave the first to call a strike, was not represented at the hearing. BAC is apparently parentently into hiding overnight, possibly to avoid being caught.
BRAC president C. L. Dennis issued a statement through union headquarters at 11 p.m. Wednesday withdrawing his earlier call of the strike if Congress included the pay boost in the bill.
The main issue in the dispute is wages. A White House panel, acting during a 60-day cooling off period ordered by Nixon.
recommended a 37 per cent wage increase over three years in the railroad industry, rules that the railroads say are architec and not tombing.
per cent or more, and all tour unions refused to accept any work rules changes.
The railroads reluctantly accepted the panel's recommendations, but the BRAC demanded wage increases of 41
The other unions involved are the United Transportation Union, the brotherhood of Maintenance Employees, and a union represented by car employees. The BRAC is the largest, with 200,000 members.

Havens will give two concerts in Hoch Auditorium, one at 7 p.m. and the other at 9 p.m., Longenecker said.
Havens has appeared in the movie "Woodstock," he said, and is well known for his song "Freedom."
Longenheimer said tickets would go on sale in the SU A office in the building of the concert. The price of the tickets has not yet been set, he said.
White House Counsellor Quits, Returns to Lobby
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Bryan N. Harlow resigned Wednesday for White House counselor to the Justice Department as a lobbyist for Proctor & Gamble
President Nixon said in an exchange of letters with Harlow that he accepted his resignation and was given a very special sense of loss."
"Your keen insights, your leavening wit, your immense
capacity for work, your rigorous conscience all have been assets of great value to the White House "personally," the "sidemain" said.
Harlow, 54, who also served on Dwight D. Eisenhower's White Hair team, led a wing of left Nixon's staff to go back to Proctor & Gamble. He quit his post as congressional lobbyist for Nixon in the 1968 campaign.

JAYHAWK CLASSIC Dec.18-19
1970 marks the second year of the Jayhawk Classic in Allen Field House.
In 1970 the Jayhawk Classic will feature independent power Houston and probably the best team in the east, Villanova, led by All-American *G&W* Howard Porter. St. Joseph's of Philadelphia completes this fine field. In 1971, Cincinnati, with the great John Fraley, Southern Cal, figured to take over as the powerhouse of the West Coast, and always strong Brigham Young complete the four team field. It appears the Jayhawk Classic should become one of the great four-tournament in the country.
