Union leaders said they thought a New York City strike would mean a nationwide walkout. The effect of wildcat walkouts so far has been minimal — a one-day backlog of hulk mail — parcels, “junk mail” and other low- priority items at bulk mail centers in New Jersey and California. But the leader of the New York City union local said Monday night he was recommending the 23,(KK) mail handlers, clerks and drivers in the union vote to strike. Union President Moe Biller said a strike authorization vote would be held later this week and if the union members approve a strike — no matter what the margin of the vote — there would he an immediate walk out. He said a New York strike probably would start a national postal strike. "1 really do believe if New York votes to strike, the rest of the country will follow,” said Biller. Asked about the legal ramifications, since postal workers are barred from striking, Bil ler said, “You'll have to see my lawyer.” The wildcat strikes began last Friday at the New York Bulk and Foreign Mail Center in Jersey City, N.J., and the San Francisco Bulk Mail Center in Richmond, Calif., after a nationwide contract proposal was agreed on in Washington. Mail balloting on the national contract proposal is expected to be complete in about two weeks, but postal workers in many areas of the country wasted no time in condemn ing the proposed contract. The proposal would give postal workers an average 19.5 percent wage and cost-of- living increase over three years, a raise scorned by most workers, particularly those in cities with high costs of living. “We need the strike, we have to have it to get a decent contract,” said James Nolan, a mail handler from Elizabeth, N.J. A U.S. Postal Service spokesman said Monday the service had fired 40 people at the Jersey City center, 42 at the Richmond center and another 14 who walked out of the Los Angeles bidk mail center Saturday. “All these firings can be appealed through the normal grievance process,” said Harry Nigro, a Postal Service spokesman in New York. “But if these guys are on the picket line when they’re supposed to be at work, they re breaking the law. We have no other choice but to send them letters of removal. New York-area Postal Service officials also got a temporary injunction against the strike. It banned any picketing at any postal facility anywhere in the country. But pickets still marched Monday night outside the Jersey City center where 37 percent of the scheduled employees did not report for the night shift. 1 he 42 strikers at the Richmond center were ordered to appear in federal court Tuesday to explain why they failed to obey an injunction against the strike.

George Busbee plans to reward some prison inmates for saving the lives of two guards in the weekend riot that left three men dead, and he promised the killers would be swiftly prose cuted. Busbee, an advocate of capital punishment, told reporters Monday night he wants to make sure the men involved in the mutilation murder of guard Dan Harrison and the fatal stabbings of two prison ers are never again a threat. He said a group of prisoners — no names were released — had been identified as assailants responsible for the killings and the wounding of guard Preston Foskey, who was stabbed repeatedly dur ing the Sunday afternoon violence. Five prisoners were put in isolation Monday following an investiga tion of the killings, but Busbee declined to say how many suspects had been linked to the killings. He did say, however, that “we do expect early prosecution of the people involved.' Busbee praised most of the inmates of two black dormitories where a black guard and a white officer were protected by inmates after Harrison was killed and Foskey was wounded. The two uninjured guards initially had been described by prison authorities as hostages. Had it not been for these prisoners, then we woidd have had further killings of guards, so that’s earned time — they’ve earned some time, good time, Busbee said. But also, we have some people we’ve identified who've killed a ~ mu Ulated him — we also have some earned time for them. Were going to try and do everything we can to see that they never injure anybody in society or any guard in the prison.” Carter warns White House against marijuana, drug use United Press International WASHINGTON — President Carter is making it clear “in no un certain terms that marijuana smok ers and drug users have no place on the White House staff’. Describing himself as deeply con cerned over recent reports that some of his staff use illegal drugs, the president served notice in a memorandum circulated Monday that he expects every member of the White House staff to obey the law. Carter acted to stop any drug use among his staff after a flurry of re ports were published about drug use by White House workers. Some of the reports came from in terviews with Dr. Peter Bourne, who said after resigning under fire last week as the president’s adviser on drug abuse problems that he knew of White House staff members who had smoked marijuana and snif fed cocaine. Bourne is under police investiga tion for prescribing Quaalude, a powerful and frequently abused sedative, under a phony name for an assistant in his office. “Whether you agree with the law or whether or not others obey the law is totally irrelevant,” Carter said. “You will obey it, or you will seek employment elsewhere.” On another front, Carter planned an appeal to Democratic congres sional leaders I uesday for support of one amendment repealing the Tur kish arms embargo and defeat of another lifting U.N. trade sanctions against Rhodesia.
