He also told of a complaint to Johnson from' President Charles Luna of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Luna, he said, complained talk of compulsory arbitration on Capitol Hill was a noose around labor's neck. Johnson, pressing his plea for a strike postponement, was quoted as replying in roughly these terms: "Now Charlie, you're a Texan and I'm a Texan and it's not like one of those damyankees asking you to do this." At another point, the source recounted, one union man took issue with a Johnson remark. "I'm sorry, Mr.

President, you're poorly informed," he was quoted as saying. Johnson was said to have replied he regretted any mistake and added "but I'm the only president you've got." After the postponement was agreed upon, Johnson talked to bothsides in the dispute.

"He just hangs on and hangs on until he gets what he's after," the man added. He asked that his name not be used. What Johnson is after now is a contract settlement to avert a strike in the nation's steel industry.

A scant six hours after he set negotiators to work in the Executive Office Building, next door to the White House, Johnson announced Monday night an eight-day postponement of tha threatened walkout, which had been scheduled at 12:01 a.m. today. So far, at least, the White House has not reported any personal Johnson missions to the steel bargaining table. But the President was said to be keeping in close touch, through his aides, with the sessions at which Steelworkers President I. W.

Abel andindustry negotiator R. Conrad Cooper are negotiating under the eye of government mediators. In the rail industry talks, Johnson's first target was a 15-day strike postponement. He announced it 90 minutes before the strike deadline of April 10, 1964. Thirteen days later, the complex, five-year-old dispute hinging on railroad work rules was settled.

A key session in that dispute eame in the Cabinet room, with about 20 people on hand. Johnson talked to both sides, but the man who was there said union representatives balked at the postponement plea. Johnson, the witness said, led union men out of the Cabinet room and into his private office. Later, when they filed out of his office, the President said they had agreed to the delay.

About 40 marchers, most of them Negroes, turned up outside the Edgewater Beach apartments, home of school's Supt.

Benjamin Willis, target of a demonstration campaign over dissatisfaction with racial distribution of pupils in Chicago schools. Willis was not at home. The pickets marched, chant ed and displayed placards. A fifth-floor resident of the building dumped a pail of water out a window, soaking a detective. A dozen of the demonstrators lay down in the heavily-traveled Sheridan Road and Bryn Mar Avenue intersection.

These were promptly picked up bodily and forced into police patrols. A few fought their way out of one van and police subdued them with clubs. Seven were taken to hospitals for examination, and three held for treatment. The rest were carted to lockups. Residents of the neighborhood applauded as the vans drove off.

Albert Raby, organizer of the protest, ordered remaining pickets to take subway trains to Central Police Headquarters and picket there. Early todav some 20 marchers paced ami sang outside the building at 1121 S. State St. Twenty six marched around the block in which Mayor Richard J. Daley lives at 35.10 Lowe Ave.
