Cuban apology ends cargo ship incident
The United States accepted a Cuban note delivered by the Czech ambassador Miloslav Ruzek as a satisfactory explanation and apology for the Thursday attack by two Cuban MIGs on the American cargo ship Floridian in international waters off Cuba. Cuba said the pilots mistook the Floridian for an enemy vessel and pledged to prevent a recurrence while seeking U.S. measures to curb anti Castro refugee incursions. Britain cooperated with moves to block raids from U S soil and the Cuban note aims to calm the incident.

Indiana lawmakers press for tax plan to end session stalemate
House Republicans urged Senate counterparts to back a tax package as a path to adjourning the Indiana special session. The plan favors a 3 percent sales tax with changes to gross income tax, while discussions also consider food and medicine exemptions or tax credits to offset those items. Senate Republicans weighed the commission plan versus other proposals, with a joint caucus seeking a compromise and no final agreement reached. The session included attempts to pass a balanced budget and amendments to a cigarette tax bill tied to regional infrastructure funding, but parliamentary hurdles blocked immediate action.
