Britain launches an intensive drive to boost British product sales in the United States. American manufacturers may face tougher competition, but the strategy is viewed as a stimulus to domestic production and a test of free enterprise. Elms can be vaccinated against Dutch elm disease and aspirin as a backup.
The USDA clears a systematic insecticide that travels in a tree sap stream to kill elm beetles carrying Dutch elm disease.

It cites Supreme Court rulings on religious liberty and union rights, notes right to work laws in 19 states, and criticizes unions pressuring employees to join. President Johnson backs repealing state discretion to ban compulsory unionization.
