Trampolers vie for sea prize sea salvage in Atlantic storm
A Dutch cargo ship Ocean Sprinter abandoned in a North Atlantic storm sparked a salvage contest between two trawlers and a Dutch tug. The Ocean Sprinter, bound for Europe with frozen fruit, drifted under line disputes as the trawlers Zeh Rinney and Zurich pressed claims and the Coast Guard rescued the crew led by Captain Solleveld aboard the Absecon. The line ultimately broke, leaving the vessel vulnerable to salvage bids under international rules as Zurich and Ocean Sprinter trailed toward St Johns Newfoundland.

Tito outlines conditions for peace
In Phnom Penh Marshal Tito called for an immediate halt to U S bombing of North Vietnam as a prelude to peace and condemned American aggression. He listed terms including end of foreign aggression, recognition of the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front, and withdrawal of foreign troops. Cambodian officials reported incursions by American South Vietnamese forces and casualties, while the International Control Commission plans to investigate. North Vietnam rejected Johnson's San Antonio peace formula as insolent, while Tet cease-fire talks in Saigon said to be shortened to 36 hours next week.

Lunar module test planned for tomorrow at Cape Kennedy
Space officials say the first unmanned flight test of the lunar module will proceed tomorrow at Cape Kennedy aboard a Saturn I rocket. A previous power failure delaying Apollo 5 has been fixed, keeping the six hour mission on schedule to simulate ascent from an orbiting craft toward the moon. NASA notes the mission supports the U S effort to reach the moon by the 1960s. Scientists in Maryland and California report laser beams from two sites shining on the moon were recorded by Surveyor 7 cameras.
