In Los Angeles a group of seven workers plus Warren Davidson, drawn by a Orlando advertisement and a $6 million federal contract for a nuclear engine, cannot locate Mara Laboratories Inc or their employer. They paid for homes and moved from Florida, some with payless weeks and no salaries, while two have found work elsewhere and all depend on borrowed money. An FBI inquiry shadows the case as the workers seek back wages and validation of their contracts.

Comparison of Bomb Statements
In Washington, a Kennedy Senate speech contrasts with President Johnsons letters and news conference remarks on North Vietnam bombing. Kennedy says bombing may slow flow of men and supplies but cannot end the war and could prolong it. Johnson notes heavy American casualties yet argues aerial pressure, not sole action, would not end the war. He also suggests halting bombardment to test Soviet sincerity and push for negotiations within a week.
