Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg urged steel management and labor to avoid a strike and show industrial statesmanship.

He pressed for an early settlement as current contracts expire June 30.
A Pentagon censor testified before a Senate panel that the McNamara directive on military speech would be misread if taken literally. Willis D.
