Rhodesia talks could gain US co-sponsorship says Smith
Prime Minister Ian Smith said progress toward majority rule in Rhodesia depends on active US involvement. The State Department said the United States would be willing to co-sponsor with Britain any new conference to map Rhodesia's future. Smith, returning from Cape Town, indicated optimism and pressed for US participation "to the full" in a constitutional conference, a shift from Kissinger’s interim blueprint.

Dock strike delays impact across eastern ports
The longshoremen's strike by the ILA began in eastern and Gulf ports at 12:01 am Thursday, halting about 4,000 dock workers in New York and New Jersey. Spokesmen say effects grow next week as ships from seven lines are affected, with 35,000 members refusing to handle containerized cargo from Maine to Texas. Picket lines appeared in Baltimore while other ports saw no shows. ILA seeks job guarantee protections, a wage rise from $8 to $10, and a 32 hour week.

Rebate Drop Delights Wall Street
Wall Street welcomed Carter's withdrawal of the $90 tax rebate with gains in the stock market and higher bond prices as rates fell. Economists split, with banks praising the move but criticizing the simultaneous removal of increased business tax credits. Some say growth will slow slightly and inflation ease modestly, while the mood stayed buoyant about the political signal.
