CHICAGO — Teachers in the
nation’s third largest school dis
trict will strike Monday over the
financially strapped school
board’s refusal to grant them a
pay increase, union officials said
Sunday.
The strike will keep 435,000
students out of the classroom.
A visibly angry Robert
Healey, president of the Chica
go Teachers Union, walked out
of negotiations about 40 mi
nutes after he set an “absolute
deadline” of 1 p.m. EDT for
agreement with the Board of
Education on a new contract be-
fore calling the strike for
Monday.
“The strike which was voted
by the Chicago Teachers Union
on Sept. 15 will commence
tomorrow at 7:15 a.m.,” Healey
said.
Teachers were reportedly
seeking a 4 or 5 percent pay in
crease. Healey said the board
did not even offer a 1 percent
pay hike.
Healey told reporters there
was some feeling that the board
might have allowed the strike to
save money. It has been esti
mated the board will save more
than $1 million every day the
teachers are on strike.
Negotiations continued with
out Healey but were recessed
Saturday after the union re
fused to accept layoffs or benefit
cuts to fund a salary hike.
The system’s 27,000 teachers
have been working without a
contract and voted to authorize
the strike more than two weeks
ago. Some 11,000 other em
ployees planned to coincide a
walkout with the teachers strike
if their unions don’t reach con
tract agreements with the board.
The unions took wage freezes
last year and are pressing for
raises this year. The board wants
concessions to keep projected
budget deficits from growing.
In more than five months of
negotiations, the board agreed
to give written contracts to those
unions that want them, agreed
to continue paying pension costs
once deducted from employee
paychecks and resolved a senior
ity dispute with the CTU.

law interpreted by the panel was
“old-fashioned and from the
McCarthy era.”
“I never thought this would
happen to me when I applied for
citizenship in 1976,” he said.
“But there are some bad laws
and this is one of them.”
In a 2-1 decision, the federal
appeals court ruled Longstaff
entered the country illegally in
1965 as a homosexual although
he did not have a medical certifi
cate to that effect.
Legal entry is a prerequisite
for naturalization and illegal en
try is a basis for deportation.
The 43-year-old Dallas resi
dent claims he was unaware
when he filled out his visa appli
cation 18 years ago that homose
xuals were included in a categ
ory of “psychopathic personali
ties” and required medical certi
fication.
The opinion by the New
Orleans panel conflicts with a
Sept. 7 ruling by the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, which
declared a homosexual without
a government-issued medical
certificate could not be denied
U.S. entry.
“Congress’ use of medical
language was not intended to lay
down a clinical test for exclusion
dependent on the vicissitudes of
medical opinion,” the 5th Cir
cuit judges ruled in a 31-page
opinion.
“If Congress’ policy is mis
guided, Congress must revise
that policy and the injustice to a
deserving person who wishes to
become a citizen must be cor
rected by lawmakers.”
“They (the 5th Circuit panel)
are definitely conflicting with
what the 9th Circuit has to say,”
said Bryan Bates, Longstaffs
attorney in Dallas. “I’m reaUy
surprised we didn't win.
“In Longstaffs case, what
more could the man do? He ap
plied for a visa, passed the
medical and entered this coun
try the same way 270,000 other
immigrants enter every year.”
U.S. District Judge Albert
Tate Jr. based part of his dissen-
ton the California decision in
volving the LesbianCay Free
dom Day Committee Inc.
“When a determination is un
supported by a member of the
medical profession then medical
conditions that existed could la
ter be administratively misused
to deport persons unpopular for
non-medical reasons,” Tate
argued.
“Thus I believe the medical
certification procedure (was) to
be interposed as an important
safeguard against abusive
‘medical’ exclusions or deporta
tions.”

the situation through the Com
monwealth Law Enforcement
Assistance Network, said they
were not taking any action be
fore the autopsy results.
“I don’t think there’s much
we can do, at this point at least,”
said Louis DiNardo, Pittsburgh
police spokesman.
Philadelphia police officer
Jerry Whartenby said detectives
planned no action “at this time,
the reason being there’s no in
dication that this is a Tylenol
death. He could have died of
almost anything.
“At this stage of the game,
there’s nothing to link it,” he
said.
An FBI official in Philadel
phia said the agency was “aware
of the situation,” but would not
elaborate.
Rivera said Hummel was re
portedly in excellent physical
condition at the time of his
death, and was known to be a
jogger and “health nut.” Hum
mel apparently had a cold which
he was treating himself with the
drug.
Rivera said the tablets, which
police believe were purchased at
a Rea & Derrick drug store on
Market Street in Lewisburg, will
be forwarded to the FBI for
analysis.
The death comes one year
after seven people died in the
Chicago area from ingesting
Tylenol capules that were
tainted with the poison, cyanide.
Other product tamperings were
reported nationwide after the
Chicago dea,ths, which occurred
between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1,
1982.
Johnson & Johnson Co. spent
$100 million to recall the cap
sules nationwide before the pro
duct returned to the shelves in
December in tamper-resistant
packaging.
