In a hearing on a National Labor Relations Board petition for a temporary injunction against the International Longshoremen's Association, Judge Sugarman signed an order expiring Tuesday midnight. The ILA and New York Shipping Association pressed their case amid stalled port talks. The NLRB said a ship owners’ complaint shows reasonable cause.

Meanwhile Senator Tower will speak at a Lincoln Day dinner in Lubbock, with talks on Viet Nam and pending legislation.
