Kulp last week that clergymen of his denomination might seek to invalidate his ordination.

Rutter and George Evees, attorneys for the Berkshire Employes' Association, would comment on the order night. They said they would require more time to study it and evaluate its significance.

Zack and Bernaxd Bralove, NLRB counsel, in conducting the case, was ill in a Philadelphia hospital yesterday and could not discuss the matter. National officials of the hosiery union were not available for comment.
