Steel industry lifts offer to union to avert strike
In Pittsburg, the steel industry signaled readiness to raise its wage offer to United Steelworkers to 2 percent to delay a strike deadline set for 12:00 am Saturday. The prior offer of 2 percent equated to 4 to 7 cents, far from union demands around 17.9 cents per hour. Washington officials warned a steel strike could sap the economic boom cited by President Johnson.

Rights Slayings Up Again
The Supreme Court agreed to review a federal judge’s dismissal of major charges in the 1964 killings of civil rights workers in Philadelphia Mississippi. Judge Harold Cox had dismissed a felony indictment against 17 defendants and three of four misdemeanor counts against 14, saying the case had no U.S. jurisdiction. The Department of Justice seeks to prosecute the conspiracy under a post‑Civil War statute and to reverse the misdemeanor dismissals. The Court did not set arguments, with a hearing unlikely before the fall term.
