Military alert after Thieu Ky bid in South Vietnam
South Vietnam’s military junta ordered a police and troop alert after the Provisional Assembly’s election committee refused to certify the Thieu Ky ticket. The alert was brief, and the committee later suggested four other tickets be barred, while Minh was ruled out. Thieu and Ky, expected to win, faced questions over leaves of absence before the election.

Rail unions return to work as law ends nationwide strike
President Johnson signed a federal back to work law ending the first nationwide rail walkout in 20 years. The act forces a wage settlement if unions and managers fail to agree within 90 days, and a White House board will seek voluntary settlement or impose a compulsory one. About 137,000 machinists and other workers seek wage hikes of 6.5 percent this year and 5 percent next year, with higher rates for skilled trades. Train lines began to move again though some pickets remained as unions assess next steps.

Board Asks Dismissal of School Suit
Federal Judge Gordon E. Young faced a request to dismiss a June 28 filing by the Arkansas Negro Teachers Association on behalf of 28 England Lonoke County teachers. The England School Board argued the ATA lacks real-party status and class action authority. The ATA seeks equal pay on the same schedule as white teachers, noting an approximate $998 yearly gap in 1966-67 pay.
