Bombs Kept From Hanoi Months in Effort to Open Peace Talks
President Johnson held U S bombers away from Hanoi for more than four months to probe North Vietnam’s openness to secret talks, a Polish-led diplomacy effort followed by renewed bombing close to the city. Hanoi did not accept the de escalation offer, and the episode ended with a temporary Hanoi bombing restraint. Meanwhile in Wellington a national rail strike began at midnight, halting trains and ferries between New Zealand’s main islands as workers seek seven cents more per hour for skilled labor.

Publisher Admits He Created CIA Subsidy Program
Thomas W. Braden, publisher of the Oceanside Blade-Tribune and former CIA official, says he created a CIA funded program subsidizing student, labor and cultural groups abroad. He details $50,000 in CIA money used by the UAW to influence European unions and says the money supported educational and organizing activities. Reuther says UAW once agreed to use funds for European unions and later would not transmit government funds. The CIA would not comment. Braden headed the CIA division of international organizations in 1953-54 and asserts the program infiltrated Communist fronts.
