But Brennan did not exclude other unions from his advice. The high court took the unusual step of pointing the way when it restated a 1961 decree that a railway worker who objects to any of his dues being used for political purposes may obtain'partial refund of his payments. Also in the labor' union field, the court decided unanimously that it is an unfair. labor practice for an employer to grant super- seniority to workers hired to replace strikers or to strikers who to union's wishes. The ruling; which reversed the U.S.

Circuit Court in Philadelphia, upheld a National Labor Relations Board ruling against Erie Resistor manufacturer of components, in Erie, Pa. Justice Byron Ri White, delivering the court's views, said: "Su- perseniority by its very terms operates to discriminate between strikers and nonstrikers, both during and after a strike, and its destructive impact strike and union activity cannot be doubted." The court agreed with the NLRB that the workers who suffered should riot only get their jobs back but should get back pay as well: The ruling barring dues collection for political purposes under union-shop contracts--from members who object--involves specifi- cally about 30 North.Carolina non- mion employes of the Southern Railway. Brennan suggested a solution 'or unions in dealing with the problem. In this case, he said jach union member who proves he is entitled to it should receive dues refunds in "proportion that union political expenditures bear total union expenditures." His 'uture dues should be cut by the same amount, the justice said. Clergymen Blast WASHINGTON (AP)-The stand aken by Sen.

Notes sent to the U.S. and British embassies Monday by the Foreign Ministry charged that the 10 officials--and the wives of two Britons--were accomplices in the spying activities of British businessman Greville Wynne and Oleg Penlcovsky, a Soviet scientific official.

The names of the 10 Western officials came up in the- hearings and the Soviet court suggested the Soviet government take action against them.

Officially, each diplomat was declared persons non grata.

Cooper spent the day Monday on a final review of flight plans. He must have looked out to sea occasionally. If he didn't, he's the only one at Cape Canaveral who didn't. The prospects there weren't reassuring. As far as the eye could see white caps danced along horizon and the wind seemed to grow stronger steadily.

Only the weather, still the space man's unpredictable and uncontrollable enemy, stood between Cooper and an on-time blastoff. The Air Force major, calm and confident, was all ready for his spectacular ride through space. Faith 7, in which he is to ride 34 hours at 17,500 miles an hour, was ready. Scientists and technicians were ready with their vast and mystifying statistical data.
