WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Harry F. Byrd pledged today "to fight with every resource at my command" against a 1 per cent tax on the earnings of Virginia and Maryland residents who work in the District of Columbia. Such a commuter levy was suggested last week by John Hechinger, president of the Washington City Council, to provide additional revenues for the district. Byrd told the Senate that he has a high regard for Hechingcr, the proposed tax would be unjust.

He said that Virginia and Maryland residents already pay part of the cost of operating the district government since federal income taxes collected from them help to meet the federal payment of over $60 million to the district. Byrd said they also contribute by payment of the district sales tax and other taxes. WILLIAMSBURG (AP) About 1,700 resident students at the College of William and Mary have signed a petition which they plan to submit to the college president this week calling for higher faculty salaries at the school. Phi Eta Sigma, an honorary scholastic fraternity, originated the petition which voices "profound concern and dissatisfaction with the existing level of faculty salaries."

Gar- uctt during last summer's strike at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com RICHMOND (AP) A sharply-divided 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that a South Carolina-based furniture company engaged irl'an unfair labor by granting a general wage 'increase without union approval. According to a lengthy majority opinion, Korn Industries, showed "bad faith and derogation of its duty to bargain" with the United Furniture Workers of America, AFL-CIO.

But Judge Albert V. Bryan protested in a dissent that such bargaining would have amounted to a "hypocritical farce." Joining Judge Simon E. Sobel- off in the 17-page majority opinion was Judge John D. Bulzncr Jr. According to the majority, the 1965 wage hike amounted to a minimum of 5 cents an hour.

The company, based in Sum- tcr, S.C., said one reason for granting the increase was an effort to meet requirements of Times-Dispatch, refused to di vulge membership figures of the Klan, but said there had been no dimunilion of the ranks. "We have more than we have ever had," he said. Koruegay said the Klan plani to try and place its member: "in any position of leadership' in the state and enlist "peopl 100 per cent unknown."

(AP) District Court jury was bein; selected Monday for the firsl degree murder trial of Larry Lancaster, 27. He is accused of killing Lynn Hafermehl, a University of Vir ginia student, with a shotgun blast at a house parly. Hafermehl, 19, was shot in the abdomen as he came in the front door last July 7. He died next day. Authorities said no cause for the shooting was apparent.

Court Rules, In Effect, Stevens Must Reinstate 71 Greenville, S. and at Roan- 1 oke Rapids, N. C. The original NLRB trial examiner held that the workers were discharged because of their union activities, thus violating federal labor law. The examiner's finding was upheld by the full NLRB before Stevens took the matter to court.

In New York, the Stevens company issued a statement Monday saying it would abide by the rulings of the appeals court. "We intend to continue improving our progressive policies regarding our employes, and we believe that they will continue to prefer dealing with us in a direct and personal relationship rather than through an outside organization. Their choice in this is what we seek to preserve," the statement said. Stevens said it felt important 1 questions were involved, and that it hoped that the Supreme Court would be willing to rule on them. One of the questions was a section of the NLRB order that directed Stevens to announce to its workers in the 20 plants that it will not engage in aritiunion activities.

The company called this "essentially a confession of guilt" and said, "Even the convicted felon can never be compelled to confess that he violated the law." In Charlotte, James Pierce, coordinator of the Industrial Un ion Department of the AFL-CIO, who directed much of the Ste vens organizing effort, said "The Stevens Company now will have to live with the fact that the law means what it says vhen it guarantees American workers the right to organize into a labor union without fear of the vengeance of their employer."

Newspapers were deluged with letters to the editor, criticizing Desai and pointing out that he not only was inconsistent, but also that in India it is bad manners to shake hands with a woman. company responded to the union drive and the signup of a "substantial" number of em- ployes with a notice telling workers that the union would operate to their "serious harm."
