GE Says No New Money in Viet Nam Strike Talks
Washington AP reports General Electric spokesman Philip D. Moore told Chief Federal Mediator William Simkin there is no new money on the table and no increase in the basic offer for a three year contract with pay hikes near 4 percent annually plus cost of living adjustments.

Talks progress and schedules remain tense as the government seeks to avert a possible strike affecting the war effort.
