Michael Kavanaugh COLOMA Michael Charles Kavanaugh, 88, of route 4, Co-loma, died early Sunday morn- of the Benton Harbor Demo their support of the Pro change in the proposed constitution that concerns roads is a pro vision that says the highway commissioner must be a qualified engineer." MYTH, FANTASY The chamber of commerce is "dealing in myth and fantasy" when it gives as a reason for supporting the new constitution the fact that the 144 delegates represented the state at-large Prong said. "The chamber knows that delegates were not elected from the state at-large but on the basis of legislative and senatorial districts and on a partisan basi3 to boot," he said. "To that the convention dominated by Republicans two-to-one had no special interests in mind is naive, if not insulting, to thinking people." 'Featherbedding' Is Prime Target WASHINGTON API The Bupreme court unanimously up held today a lower court ruling that the nation's railroads have the right to make sweeping work rules changes. The high court in an unsigned opinion rejected a union protest against plans by the carriers to eliminate what management calls "featherbedding" work practices Five operating unions, representing about 210,000 men whc man' the trains of 195 railroads, had asked the high court tc overturn a decision by the U.S Circuit court in Chicago.

The Circuit court had ruled In favor of the railroad and their plans to make working rules changes. VOTE IS 8-0 The Supreme court's action war by an 8-0 vote. Justice Goldberg, a former Secretary of Labor, disqualified himself from the case. The Supreme court's opinion laid that there was no bad faith or misconduct on the part of either the railroads or the unions that would Justify either side's "unilateral imposition of changes In working rules." The opinion added then: "What is clear, rather, is that both parties, having exhausted all of the statutory proceduref are relegated to self-help in ad-Justing this dispute, subject only to the invocation of the provisions of Section 10 (of the Railway Labor Act) providing for the creation of an emergency board. And on this basis the Judgment below (by the circuit court) must be, and is affirmed." CLEARS WAY The Supreme court decision means that the railroads, having gone through required bargain-lng procedures of the Railway Labor Act, are now fregto'put desired manpower economies into effect.

If they do this, a nationwide ral strike would be immediately threatened. However, the carriers and the unions have an Informal agreement with the White House not to make any moves for 72 hours. This armistice will give President Kennedy time to invoke procedures that will delay any showdown at least for 60 days. Actually, with legal technicalities cleared away, both sides are expected to start real bar gaining for the first time in the more than three years they have been sparring over work reductions. LINES' GOAL The carriers' immediate objective Is to discharge some firemen, and then gradually eliminate some 27,000 other locomotive firemen in freight and yard service.

The carriers claim the firemen are no longer needed on modern diesel locomotives The carriers are expected tc serve a five-day advance notice will put their desired manpoyer economies into effect Both the carriers and unions know that this will not be done without bargaining for an agreement on the matter. Kennedy will take advantage of the three-day armistice to name a National Emergency board under terms of the Railway Labor Act with the responsibility of investigating and recommending a settlement formula. EISENHOWER BOARD Since an earlier board a commission appointed by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower spent a year studying the same dispute, the Kennedy panel probably will devote most of its time to informal settlement efforts. The Eisenhower-named commission, headed by former U.S District Judge Simon Rifkin recommended that the railroads be permitted to discharge some 13,000 firemen having 10 years service or less and that the remaining firemen in freight train service be gradually eliminated by attrition, that is not be replaced as they die or retire.

The Kennedy board will have 60 days before either side can act. Teacher Wins Fellowship (Continued From Page One) fee, and transportation costs for himself and his fellow.

George Romney and the Twin Cities Area Chambers of Commerce for posed new Michigan Constitution. Prong took exception to statements made by the governor's wife In Paw Paw Friday and to an announcement by the chamber directors. He charged.

Mrs. Romney said that under the new document, the governor would appoint a majority of the administrative board, Prong declared.
