CHICAGO (UPI) Rock Island Lines clerks, without a contract since January 1978, struck the bankrupt railroad Tuesday and railway officials said "ripple effects" of the strike could affect 170,000 workers. The railroad, charging the walkout would hobble U.S. grain exports and torpedo the balance of trade, unsuccessfully sought a presidential emergency order forcing 1,700 strikers back to work for a 60-day cooling off period. The National Mediation Board in Washington said it would not immediately ask President Carter for such an order. No negotiations were scheduled.

The walkout crippled rail traffic and threatened key grain shipments along the line's 7,200 miles of track in 14 states. The Rock Island hauls more than $3 billion of grain yearly. A Rock Island spokesman said the railroad's first priority was to move perishable grain and corn with management personnel manning trains. State agriculture officials in Minnesota expressed confidence the line could keep up grain shipments despite the strike, but Iowa officials were skeptical. Iowa Transportation Director Raymond Kassel said the railroad had trimmed the management force it could use to operate the trains "and I think we'll see the stoppage of trains right away." He said Iowa's grain shippers are "already in a crisis situation" and the Rock Island strike will compound problems caused by the financial plight of the Milwaukee Road, another major grain hauler.

The Rock Island also carries about 14,000 commuters daily in the Chicago area. Most reached work without difficulty Tuesday by car or on a parallel rail line. The clerks members of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks had been working without a contract since their old pact expired in January 1978. They walked off their jobs at 7 a.m. Tuesday and set up picket lines at key ter- minals from Chicago to Texas.

Negotiations were hopelessly deadlocked over whether provisions of a new contract would be made retroactive to the date the old pact expired. "We just fired our big guns," BRAC international Vice President Thomas Fitzgibbon said as workers set up picket lines. He said the union and railroad were deadlocked on the issue of retroactive pay. ''In face of management's refusal to be reasonable, we are prepared to stay out as long as necessary," Fitzgibbon said, noting a BRAC strike against the Norfolk Western last year lasted three months. But he said he hoped the walkout would be short and inconvenience to commuters and grain farmers minimal.

The railroad has predicted the strike would have a major impact on the economy and, particularly, on foreign trade. "A cessation of rail service will have a ripple effect on approximately 170,000 employees representing some $2.5 billion in payrolls," the line said in a telegram to the National Mediation Board last week. In Washington, a spokesman for the mediation board said it does not'plan to ask for a cooling off period' Spokesman Meredith Beul said the board had twice offered arbitration as a solution to the dilemma but it was rejected by the company. The Rock Island was declared bankrupt in March 1975 and, since then, has operated under a court- supervised reorganization plan. The iine operates in Minnesota, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, New Mexico, Texas, Iowa, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Louisiana and South Dakota.

UPI News Briefs BADAJOZ, Spain (UPI) Mayors or their representatives from some 50 towns began a sit-in Tuesday to protest government plans to build a U.S.-supplied nuclear plant at Valdecaballeros in Extremadura Province. The officials, who represent all political persuasions, appealed in a telegram to Premier Adolfo Suarez to suspend the project. They said construction would be illegal until 10 appeals against the plant pending before the supreme court are settled. The Extremadura Regional Council called an emergency meeting Saturday to consider the situation. TEL AVIV, Israel (UPI) Egypt stopped a one- day tour of Cairo for 300 American Jewish leaders hours before the scheduled departure because the group was to fly in Israeli planes direct from Tel Aviv, a United Jewish Appeal official said Tuesday.

The official said the tour was planned well in advance by the group in coordination with the State Department. "It had been agreed in principle there would be no problems," he said. But late Monday night, after Israeli officials tried vainly to win final approval for the flight on the telephone hot line between Jerusalem and Cairo, the Egyptians refused permission, the official said. The fundraisers were to leave Tel Aviv early Tuesday and return late in the afternoon, the official said. "The Egyptians are not yet ready to permit direct flights from Tel Aviv on Israeli jets," the official said.

A group of 23 Israelis are currently touring Egypt but flew to Cairo on foreign airlines via Athens. EPA loosens on industry clean water regulations WASHINGTON (UPI) The Environmental Protection Agency Tuesday said it is withdrawing "unreasonably stringent" clean water regulations for 64 industry groups, thereby saving those industries as much as $200 million. The industry groups for which regulations are being withdrawn include food processing, glass manufacturing and ferroalloys. The EPA said the new rules will save industries up to $200 million in water pollution control costs, which represents "about 50 percent of previously estimated future clean-up expenditures for affected industries." Under the 1977 Clean Water Act, best conventional pollutant control technology, or BCT, will replace the generally more stringent future requirement for applying the best available technology, or BAT, to certain pollutants. The agency said the BCT controls apply only to nontoxic "conventional" pollutants and BAT controls still will be required in treating toxic pollutants "that threaten public health." "Most of the affected industries are already removing up to 98 percent of the conventional pollutants in their discharges," EPA Deputy Administrator Barbara Blum said.

"Additional requirements to clean up that last few percent could cost them as much or more than they have spent so far." The agency said the BAT requirements will be withdrawn for 64 industry groups, thus "eliminating future clean-up requirements which EPA found to be unreasonably stringent, or which require further review." Once the BAT requirements are withdrawn, EPA said, the agency will establish "new, less stringent rules or will require no more than the achievement of existing clean-up requirements that had to be met by July 1977. Where the costs are reasonable, the tough BAT- level controls are being retained; they will be redefined as BCT." BAT requirements for seven industry categories, all dealing with asbestos, are being maintained "because the BAT limitations for these industries are designed to control toxic pollutants," EPA said. The seven are: asbestos cement pipe plants, asbestos cement sheet plants, asbestos paper plants Ostarch binder process), asbestos paper plants (elastomeric binder process), asbestos roofing materials plants, asbestos floor tile plants and asbestos dust collection process (with wet scrubbers).
