Balloonist Karl Thomas Missing Over Atlantic Attempt
U S balloonist Karl Thomas, 27, has been out of radio contact for about 48 hours as he aims to cross the Atlantic in a helium filled airship named the Spirit of St. Louis style. The 90 foot craft remains aloft off Lakehurst New Jersey and authorities consider a watch while a clouded Atlantic hampers search eyes on the sea for a potential sighting.

Congress Extends Tax Withholding Freeze to September
Congress acted to freeze payroll withholding rates at current levels through September to buy time for a broader tax revision. The extension shields households from a looming rise, with $180 to $204 annual changes depending on filing status. Ford was sent the legislation for signature amid an election year push to permanent tax cuts.

Defector seeks visit to United States amid Korean War saga
Former POW James Veneris, who stayed with Communist captors after Korea, asks for a U S visit and will be issued a passport. Now living in China, he plans to return there after the trip. State Department confirms he remains a U S citizen with no crime charges, and travel rules will be standard for any citizen. Veneris, born in Vandergrift, Pa., is one of 24 POWs who refused repatriation. 21 others later left China, some prosecuted, none yet for Veneris. His family in Hawthorne recalls 35 years of hope for his return.

Sherer Jr. called the measure unbalanced as Britain France Malta and Sweden abstained in a 10 to 1 tally. It marked the 16th U.S. veto in the council and followed a veto of Angola’s UN membership bid.
