Threatened Airline Strike Settled By TWA Agreement
Washington AP reports a settlement ending the engineers strike threat against Trans World Airlines after overnight talks. The deal cuts cockpit crews from four to three, protecting Flight Engineers International Association jobs and avoiding disruptions to Pan American and Eastern Airlines. The pact includes mediation, a one week negotiation window, and priority third-pilot slots for engineers while preserving union independence from the Airline Pilots Association. President Kennedy hailed the agreement as statesmanlike. In Biddeford Maine, Reynald Couture and Georges Fournier face larceny and related charges with a theft tied to $12,000 in jewelry from a Wilton Connecticut couple, recovered along with most items. Portland police aided and suspects were apprehended.

New canal sites eyed for Atlantic Pacific route
The United States discussed study proposals with Panama and Colombia on sites for a possible new Atlantic Pacific canal. Panama and Colombia are viewed as the most promising locations, with Panama considering two routes and Colombia a 90 mile corridor near the border.
