If unmet, Turkey would invoke the 1960 treaty to intervene, while U Thant pursued a 7000-strong international police force with backing from Britain, Canada, Finland, and Sweden. U.S. support included up to $2 million and logistical aid.

House Rejects 10000 Dollar Pay Rise For Congress
Washington AP reports the House voted down a 10 000 a year pay increase for members, keeping total pay at 22 500. The measure would have raised salaries for about 1.7 million federal workers and boosted top level pay by 22 5 percent. Support came from Democratic leadership and the Johnson administration, but election year concerns and economy talk aided the defeat. As votes approached, some increases for various worker groups passed on nonrecorded ballots.
