United Auto Workers President Walter P. Reuther ordered about 45,000 idled workers to return to their jobs as he postponed a Tuesday strike deadline to Thursday. Most auto plants in California were expected to operate, except the Buick Fontise and Oldsmobile plant in South Gate where a 1,800-person strike continued.

A 42 year old Bellflower man, Harry W. Davis, was found dead in a lumber truck cab on a Paramount lot after a fight over dice game winnings. Davis, a rigger foreman for Terminal Island metals, left home Saturday with a paycheck over $100.

Davis’ wife Patricia, 40, and three children survive. Two men were taken into custody for questioning. Autopsy planned to determine blunt force injuries.

The issue followed news that 5,000 Formosa crisis letters opposed the administration’s handling. Oil imports also topped the national quota in August, the Interior Department reported, signaling energy policy pressures.
