MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1979- TIIE INDIANAPOUS STAR PAGE 5 "1 Burger Overturns Court Order Extending National Limited's Life Washington (UPI) Chief Justice Warren Burger Sunday sounded the last call for the National Limited, signing an order allowing Amtrak to terminate the long-distance New York to Kansas City 40,000 Russ passenger train upon completion of its run today. Burger voided a temporary restraining order issued Friday by a court of appeals in Washington that would have required Amtrak to maintain operation of the train at least through Oct. 12. The National Limited which served Indianapolis, Richmond and Terre Haute was one of five routes Amtrak ordered dropped Sunday in its first major passenger train cutback in more than eight years. All but one were contested in the courts.

AMTRAK SAID it would ask a federal judge in Kansas today to reverse his order that three of the trains remain in service for a week. The Court of Appeals in Washington had issued a temporary restraining order directing Amtrak to maintain the National Limited until at least Oct. 12.

EST with 75 passengers aboard for its final run. It was due in Kansas City at 10: 05 p.m. EST today. The Hilltopper, which operates between Boston and Catlettsburg, Ky was unaffected by the court orders blocking the cutbacks. A federal judge in Wichita, ordered Amtrak to keep three other lines the Lone Star, the Floridian and the North Coast Hiawatha rolling.

The Floridian stops in Bloomington and Lafayette, Ind. The judge acted on suits filed by the National Association of Railroad Passengers, the attorney general for the states of Alabama, Kansas and Minnesota, and by the city of Nashville, Tenn. Amtrak issued orders to its crews to prepare to run the contested trains today while it was in court seeking to overturn the order to maintain service. The Lone Star operates between Chicago and Houston, the Floridian between Chicago and Miami and St. Petersburg, and the North Coast Hiawatha between Chicago and Seattle.

Tony P. Hall (D-Ohiol. Amtrak appealed to the Supreme Court Sunday on grounds the lower court had no authority to consider the dispute; that the Supreme Court had ruled in 1974 that in such cases only the U.S.

attorney general could sue Amtrak, and that it was acting in compliance with the Am ft Castro, speaking with Dan Rather on the CBS program "60 Minutes," said the present controversy over Soviet forces in Cuba was "an invented crisis," while the one in 1962 "was a real crisis." (UPI) Although Castro said the dispute is a "comedy," he said it could turn into a crisis if President Carter tries to flex U.S. military might around his Caribbean nation. HE ALSO said he would not object to a meeting with Mr. Carter to resolve the dispute, but Castro said he was not calling for such a conference. The President plans a nationally broadcast address on the Soviet troops issue today at 8 p.m.

"THIS IS BETTER than a plane, far better," said John Joseph Aloysius Hardi-gan of Lyndhurst, N.J.

Those responsible for discontinuing the train's operation are "nuts," he added. "We're reaching the stage where they ought to line a few people up against the wall and shoot them," said Hardigan.
