Longshoremen Strike Impacts West Gulf Ports From Maine To Texas
An 8,000 strong West Gulf District walkout began Friday night and extended from Maine to Brownsville Texas though oil shipments remained steady. Houston faced 10 idle ships with daily costs around 300,000 dollars while Beaumont Port Arthur and Orange saw limited disruption. The dispute centers on container handling rights and pay, with local issues unresolved and potential spread if Atlantic Coast actions continue.

Freed Men Cleared by Doctors for Homeward Christmas
Eleven U S soldiers freed after five months in Cambodia were medically cleared at Walter Reed Army Hospital to begin their journey home for Christmas. Chief Warrant Officer Ralph W McCullough and the group thanked Prince Norodom Sihanouk for the release and said they were treated well. The men, seized in July when their Mekong River boat crossed into Cambodia from South Vietnam, are due five months of back pay, to be issued by the Army if they choose, and were to depart by late Saturday or early Sunday.
