It proposed revoking federal charters for discriminatory banks, making lynching a federal crime, presuming jury discrimination where found, letting citizens sue for damages, and extending FEPA coverage to state local governments in law enforcement. Robert C Weaver supported the housing section.

The Chernyakhovsk, 154 miles west northwest of San Francisco, sails at six knots amid red tape and uncertainty. Meanwhile in London Prime Minister Wilson faces a looming merchant strike that could hobble Britain’s economy and its vast fleet. The NUS demands a shorter week and higher pay threatening to idle 2,500 ships and disrupt food and raw material access.

Seamen Union Council Rejects Strike Postponement Plea
The 48 member executive council unanimously rejected Gunter's plea to delay the strike while interim talks proceed with shipowners. The union demands a 40 hour week with overtime pay after 40 hours and a $1.75 monthly pay boost, arguing an immediate 17 percent raise is needed. Shipowners counter that most would exceed 40 hours weekly and offer a 40 hour week by 1968 plus overtime on Sundays and a two year 13 percent raise.
