Break looms in west coast dock strike
The West Coast dock strike shows a potential thaw as Pacific Maritime Association leaders Flynn and Bridges signal possible arbitration talks. Bridges suggests 13,000 longshoremen could return if unsolved monetary issues go to arbitration, while Flynn presses for a full settlement including economic and non-economic issues. Congressional hearings probe plans for mandatory arbitration, with Bridges fearing a return order and urging voluntary talks.

Jackson joins Muskie critics in Wisconsin campaign
United Press International reports Senator Henry M. Jackson joined high officials and Republican leaders in denouncing Senator Edmund S. Muskie's critique of President Nixon's Vietnam peace plan. Jackson told about 3,000 University of Wisconsin Eau Claire students and later Skokie residents that he would keep speaking out until a viable peace plan is proposed. He opened his Wisconsin campaign headquarters in Madison and called Muskie's stance a disservice to the country.

Authorities found a bomb in Disney World Frontierland about two hours before its scheduled detonation after a caller demanded $90,000. The device, described as simple and powerful enough to harm nearby visitors, led to a park-wide search with no payoff collected. Disney officials said no visitors were in the area when found and that the park opened on time.
