President Nixon plans to send Congress a special written message urging immediate action on busing to achieve racial balance in schools. Spokesman Ronald Ziegler said the plan was decided over the weekend and could reach Congress within about 10 days. Nixon aims for decisive action but chose a written message to avoid missteps amid the issue. He consulted chiefly the group blacks he appointed on busing and Cabinet Education Committee members who advised him on varying views.

Pay Board Report Supports Dock Raises Amid Hearings
Washington AP A Pay Board staff report backs a 25.9 percent raise for West Coast longshoremen amid hearings. The analysis cites 30 percent productivity gains in the 1960s saving shippers up to $1 billion and argues grounds for a wage exception beyond the standard 5.5 percent plus fringe caps. ILWU leader Harry Bridges warned of renewed strike if any penny is cut. The administration backs the board in possible confrontations as unit labor costs fell 30 percent 1960 70 while private nonfarm costs rose equally.
