Tanganyika Quells Troop Mutiny With Nyereere's Intervention

Tanganyika troops mutinied demanding better pay and living conditions but returned to their barracks after President Julius Nyerere intervened by radio. The incident raised fears of a nationalist revolution similar to Zanzibar's, with reports of beatings and looting before calm was restored. About 50 US government employees and 28 Peace Corps members were in Tanganyika, with American safety confirmed by the embassy. Tanganyika sent 300 policemen to Zanzibar, weakening Dar es Salaam security as Okello sought talks in the capital. Nyerere, seen as moderate, guided Tanganyika toward independence with retained British officials and efforts to improve the economy.

Johnson Predicts 1964 Prosperity If Tax Cut Passes

President Johnson, in his first economic report to Congress, urged immediate action on the $11 billion tax cut to drive 1964 growth. He warned without the cut the economy could slump into recession, and unveiled plans for an early warning system to curb inflationary price and wage hikes. He cited a 44 percent rise in corporate profits and a 600 billion GNP, promising that tax relief could lift GNP to about 623 billion in 1964 and push long term growth toward a balanced budget. Johnson also pressed for higher overtime penalties, education aid, hospital insurance for the elderly, mass transit funding, renewed housing laws, a higher minimum wage, extended unemployment benefits, and anti-poverty measures targeting 34 million Americans earning only 590 per capita in 1952 polled against 1900 national average.
