Meany Urges Machinists To Approve Proposed Pact Today
Washington AP AFL CIO President Meany urged the 35,400 striking IAM members to ratify the White House proposed contract this Friday. A ratification would end the strike and allow United, National, Northwest, Eastern and Trans World Airlines to resume flights, ending the labor action seen as the worst airline strike in history. The pact offers 56 cents per hour increase over three years for ten mechanics and a cost of living escalator potentially adding six cents more in 1968, with wider brass and local leaders expressing mixed outlooks across major cities.

Reserves Fight Draft Rules and Training Time
Reserves Russell and Saltonstall argue it is unfair for trained reserves to enjoy sanctuary while volunteers and draftees bear the military buildup. They urge limits on presidential power until June 30, 1968 and restrict active duty calls to 24 months with prior training time deducted. The plan would exempt veterans of World War I and Korea and focus mainly on Army reservists amid Vietnam training needs.
