Castro Cuba Seizes Esso and Shell Refineries in Cuba
Havana reports the Cuban petroleum institute took over Esso Standard and Shell Oil refineries after their refusal to process Soviet crude. The move consolidates Cuba's oil industry worth about 15 million dollars under Castro's government, following earlier Texaco seizures. Cubans argue the law enforces state processing of Cuban oil, while companies contest ownership of imported supplies. The island imports about 609000 barrels daily and eyes Soviet crude at lower cost.

Senate Move Is Pledged By Johnson
The House voted 345 to override President Eisenhower’s veto of a 7 14 per cent pay increase for 114 million federal employees, sending the measure to the Senate where Lyndon B. Johnson pledged quick action. The tally included 256 Democrats and 89 Republicans in favor. 69 votes short of the two thirds needed. The bill would raise pay for postal workers and white collar federal staff, taking effect after enacting law. Eisenhower called the measure indefensible and favored a modest increase.
