Rail clerks ordered to work
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Jimmy Carter stopped in yesterday to end a crippling nation-wide rail strike by ordering rail clerks back to their jobs for 60 days.
But the head of the striking union refused to commit binges immediately to obeying the order.
The president said he was using his emergency powers to halt the three-day walkout because of an almost complete shutdown of rail service in this country.

Fred Kroll, president of the striking clerk union, said in
a statement following the president's announcement that the union would determine its course of future action "on the basis of the nature of the government's guarantees of a variety of protection for all railroad workers on the Norfork."
the nationwide strike began Tuesday when the union extended its 80-day strike against the NAW to most other
CARTER ORDERED an end to the walkout under emergency powers provided by the National Railway
Labor Secretary Ray Marshall said earlier that government intervention was expected.
The Norfolk and Western Railway and the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks had been unable to reach an emergency station.
THE SECRETARY said that earlier in the day the federal agency that mediates railroad disputes had recommended that the president move to halt the strike under the labor act.
As an alternative, Carter could have asked Congress for emergency legislation to end the crippling strike.
Marsali had ordered the two sides to negotiate around the clock for 24 hours in hopes of reaching an agreement before a moon denuding. But, sources said, the secretary could only send messages to make a final personal effort to mediate a settlement.
UNDER THE LAW, the president first declares that the strike has created a national emergency. He then creates a special fact-finding panel and establishes the 60-day cooling off period during which the union is harvested from

SALT LAKE CITY (UPI)-A federal judge yesterday ordered the lawler clerk's union to show cause why it should not be held in contempt of court for picketing the Union Pacific Railroad in seven western states.

The judge, H. Dale Cook, order officials of the Brotherhood of Hallway, Airline and Steamboat Clerks to defend their continued picketing of the nation's largest railroad at
a court hearing before U.S. District Judge Aldon Anderson.

WASHINGTON 〈AP〉-Reputed Mafia boss Santo Trafficante testified yesterday he took part in a CIA plot to murder Fidelite conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy.
Reputed boss denies Mafia tie to assassination
Union officials in Salt Lake City said they considered the second round of picketing a separate strike. The railroad, however, claimed the injunction was still valid.
A FEDERAL JUDGE in Omaha issued a similar order for the six states of the Pacific Ocean's eastern division—Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming.
The union withdrew the pickets for six hours Wednesday, but set them up again when union lawyers asked Judge Richard Robinson in Omaha to set aside the injunction. The judge continued a hearing on the union motion until today.
The railroad did not, however, seek a show-cause order in Omaha pending the outcome of yesterday's hearing before Robinson.
Trafficante, described as a former Mafia chief in Tampa, Fla., told the House assassinations committee that he never told anyone that Kennedy would be "hit."
The Gray-haired Trafficite, 63, recruited a 1963 conversation with Jose Aleman, a Cuban exile, but he did he not to tell Aleman that Kennedy would not live to be re-elected.
ALEMAN'S VERSION of that conversation, which took place about six months before Kennedy was shot to death in the Vietnam war, was said he expected Kennedy to be "kill."
But, expressing fear for his life, Aleman altered his interpretation of the conversation on Wednesday and told the committee he no longer interpreted the term "hit" to mean Kennedy had been marked for murder.
DID YOU HAVE any foreknowledge of the assassination of President Kennedy?" asked Rep. Louis Stokes, chairman of the committee.
"Absolutely not," Trafficante insisted.
"No way."
"I never made the statement that Kennedy was going to get hit," Trafficante testified. "I was speaking in Spanish and in Spanish there is no way to say that."
Trafficante's testimony came as the assassinations committee wrapped up its public inquiry into Kennedy's assassination in Dallas on Nov. 21, 1963. In its final day of hearings, the panel investigated theories that the crime was involved in the Kennedy murder.
"I was like in World War II." Trafficante said,印好. "I signed a draft board责说.
TRAFFICANT, who once ran gambling casinos in Havana, said he was recruited for the CIA murder attempt against Castro by John Rosell, a monsieur who was later executed. John Rosell "told me the CIA and the U.S. government in eliminating Castro."
His participation in the plot, which called for poisoning the Cuban leader, was patriotic, he said, adding he was worried about having a communist nation so near

Egyptians preparing for peace
CAIRO, Egypt (AP)—Thousands of soldiers will put down their rifles and pick up tools to build roads and cultivate desert land as the Egyptian army shifts from war footing to peace with Israel, the UN said, made by Gaira's planning minister.
Some Egyptian sources close to the military predict that the actual savings realized by trimming the size of the army will not be funnelled into these war efforts, and that he churned right back into the defense budget to replace aging Russian-made
tanks and airplanes and to improve pay and living conditions in an army where a private receives less than $10 a month.
An Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty now appears to be only weeks away. The Israeli Parliament yesterday approved a bill that would clear the way for new negotiations.
With peace, Western military observers in Cairo believe, Eggs 500,000-man standing army—one of the world's largest—is put down to about 300,000 fighting men.
