The Teamsters seek a 75 percent raise over three years with fringe benefits, while industry spokesmen warn the demand would cost about 9 billion dollars. Local drivers would gain a dollar per hour and over‑the‑road drivers 2 cents per mile annually, but talks remain focused on non wage items for now.

Laotian Prince Seeks More U.S. Arms Aid
Prince Souvanna Phouma said he seeks larger U.S. military aid to raise Laotian firepower to match North Vietnamese forces. He floated accepting North Vietnamese use of the Ho Chi Minh trail if Hanoi withdraws elsewhere, and questioned a potential U.S. bombing halt tied to such withdrawal. He cited Geneva neutrality and said bombing could stop if North Vietnamese withdrawal occurs, a move the U.S. would likely oppose.
