Threat Issued Charles Luna, head of the trainmen, issued the threat as warning to officials of his union in Syracuse, N.Y. The officials in the New York rail hub said that as far as they were concerned, the walkout would come off as planned at midnight Friday. Luna assured President Johnson during a White House session that the threatened strike against the New York Central would not take place.
Luna said union officials who have threatened a walkout on that railroad have not even talked to him and have no authority to call a strike. Furthermore, he said, they will not get any such authorization. Joseph K. Kenefick, who heads about 7,000 trainmen on the New York Central, said the dispute was not settled as far as we are concerned. Michael W.
Herr, strike chairman of the railroad on the Central, said the strike would go on as planned. Threatens Action However, Luna said here that he had not authorized any strike in the area represented by Kenefick.

Engle, back in the hospital today for additional tests, underwent brain surgery in August and is partly paralyzed and virtually unable to speak.

'DISRUPTS CAUSE' Burns Says Reds Behind SF Protests SACRAMENTO im Senate leader Hugh M. Burns said today that hard core Communist agitators were behind the scenes in Californias civil rights demonstrations. The Fresno Democrat told a joint news conference with Assembly Speaker Jesse M.

Attend Your Public Meetings TONIGHT Salinas union high school district board of trustees meets at 8 oclock tonight in the North Salinas high cafeteria to explain and discuss the district's proposed $7.385, OM school construction bond Kaiser told a meeting of the Chula Vista Republican Women's club yesterday that extension of the bracero program is necessary to the states agricultural industry. He said plans to import unemployed Americans to replace the Mexican workers would fail because domestics aren't used to the hard work and hot sun. He added that farmers wont plant tomatoes and other crops with the uncertainty of harvesting them without bracero help On other topics Kaiser said: The civil rights bill now before Congress was 90 per cent federal intervention in states rights and 10 per cent civil rights. Halt Red Aid The United States should halt aid to Communist nations such as Yugoslavia because they're all Communists and they are all our enemies.
If a war starts, they wont be on our side. Russia should be ousted from the United Nations because it is two years in ar-rear on dues. Countries should be told they cant trade with both Cuba and the United States. This would force economic strangulation of the Fidel Castro regime. leinnoBistafcors Pitied! by HiJ WASHINGTON hit President Johnson today expressed pity for racial demonstrators such as those who marred his World's Fair speech Wednesday, but said the civil rights cause will not be harmed by fanaticism or rudeness.

S. 101 nine miles north of King City yesterday afternoon. Driver of the car which killed Heady was James Wycherly, 60, administrator of the Santa Maria hospital.
Wycherly, southbound in a Santa Barbara county vehicle, said he ddint see Heady approach the freeway at a right angle, and the first time he saw the doomed man was after he had started his fatal crossing. Skid Marks Weaving skid marks stretching some 100 feet down the pavement attest to the fact that Wycherley did all in his power to avoid Heady. Highway patrol officers said Wycherley will not be cited. Officers said Heady, his wife and a friend were bound from Blythe to San Jose when their late model compact car broke down at the Lagomar-sino road turn off. They said Heady crossed the freeway and used the phone at the Jack Gill ranch to call for help.
It was as he started back to his car that Heady was struck and killed. Dead on Arrival Heady and his wife were taken to Mee Memorial hospital in King City by Grim ambulance service where Heady was pronounced dead on arrival shortly after 5 p.m. Mrs. Heady was admitted to the hospital in a state of shock and placed under sedation. Funeral services for Heady are pending at Grim mortuary.
