Admiral Says U S Subs Plans Cost Soviets $2.98 Toy
Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover tells the Joint Atomic Energy Subcommittee that the Soviet Union gained millions in value from U S nuclear submarine plans sold for $2.98 by a toy model of the Polaris. He says Navy blueprints allowed the toy to reveal ship dimensions and crew size, though Navy officials deny providing Polaris blueprints to model makers. Louis H. Glaser of Revell, Inc. calls models based on public data, not classified materials, and notes Polaris models exist in its 1961 catalog.

Negotiations In Shipping Strike Break Up In Anger
In New York the first face to face negations session in a three coast shipping strike ended after three hours with no progress. The walkout involves 85 000 crewmen on nearly 1 000 vessels along the East West and Gulf coasts and was spurred by wage and flag policy disputes. A second meeting was urged for Monday by Labor Secretary Goldberg as Union leaders accuse the American Merchant Marine Institute of bad faith amid bitter infighting between unions. The strike is expected to affect crews on American and foreign flag ships with wage gaps fueling the dispute. Early economic impact appeared limited with fuel supplies adequate for over a month.
