Gang of 30 Beats4at REFUSED IKGI COIRITIIEVIEU Cuts in Crews to Begin May 7 BY RUSSELL FREEBURG Washington, April 27 The United States Supreme court today refused to review a railroad -arbitration board finding that 90 per cent of the 33,000 firemen's jobs on freight and switch yard diesel locomotives are unnecessary. The 33,000 jobs are filled by 40,000 men. Upholds Local Bargaining The review had been sought by four of the five railroad operating brotherhoods.

The court, in its brief order, gave no reason for its refusal to review the case. Also upheld by the court's action was the arbitration board's ruling mat the nation's 200 big railroads and the oper ating unions should negotiate locally for the elimination of up to 18,000 other crewmen. Today's court order noted that Justice Arthur Goldberg, who was secretary of labor during part of the long railroad work rules dispute, took no part in the case. VUH Begin Wiy-J'E Under a previous agreement between the railroads and' the unions, the elimination of fire men will begin 10 days from today's court action. This will be May 7.

The court order cleared the way for almost im mediate dismissal of diesel firemen with less than two years of service. Local bargaining machinery for eliminating crewmen other than firemen already is in motion. The appeal, to the Supreme court developed from congressional action last August 'which created a special seven-man arbitration board to rule on the firemen and crew makeup issues. The move averted a nation-wide rail strike. Four Appeal Baling The arbitration board ruling was handed down on Nov.

It seems to me that he stepped out of the role of his high office." Fieldhouse Four teen-aged boys were beaten with baseball bats yesterday by an estimated 30 youths who virtually took command of the Wilson park dis-trice fieldhouse, 1122 W. 34th where the four youths had sought refuge.

The boys reportedly quoted the director as saying, "Don't hit me, I've got a wife and kids." Deering police said a policeman is not assigned to the field-house, but a squad car stops periodically at the fieldhouse to check with the park director. A supervisor, Robert Huber, reportedly witnessed the beatings inside the fieldhouse. One of the youths reportedly said, "If that guy picks up a telephone, hit him with a wrench." Other youths blocked the doors to prevent anyone from leaving the building.
