Philadelphia police guard trucks amid wildcat Teamsters strike
Police escorted several hundred trucks from Philadelphia food distribution centers as Teamsters Local 107 halted most deliveries in the Philadelphia and Wilmington area. The strike froze perishables, prompted city officials to claim the emergency under control, and led to multiple arrests for traffic interference and vandalism.

Bills Advance By Committee
The House Rules Committee voted to send the administration's 1.895 billion anti poverty bill to the floor and tentatively agreed to start hearings on the voting rights bill. Democratic leaders said the anti poverty bill may be called up next week for general debate. The voting rights hearings would begin Thursday if witnesses are ready and aim to finish next week. The anti poverty authorization is larger than the first year appropriation, mainly boosting Job Corps and community action programs. The voting rights bill would outlaw the poll tax, a provision the Senate rejected, and is expected to go to conference.
