Harbor of New York Paralyzed by Longshoremen Standstill
Hundreds of longshoremen joined a protest work stoppage amid a sweeping maritime strike in New York Harbor. The ILA order aimed at pressuring striking maritime unions to clarify their demands, with a Battery Park rally planned later. Federal mediators face a tangled, six day old walkout affecting 85,000 workers and about 1,000 ships as major liners arrive and depart.

United States and Soviet disarmament negotiators entered a third day of secret talks in Washington with no clue to progress. John J. McCloy and Valerian Zorin remained mum as Arthur Dean planned a return to Washington for consultations on the Genoa talks and a possible broader ban on nuclear tests. Kennedy aides worry the Soviets push for linking talks to a Khrushchev troika plan could affect UN and other international efforts.
