Maritime Union Seeks Presidential Intervention
Maritime union leaders in Miami Beach urged President Johnson to intervene personally in a labor dispute over loading wheat for the Soviet Union to prevent an international crisis. They criticized Luther Hodges for linking the dispute to U.S. foreign policy and asserted that at least half the wheat should move in U.S. flag vessels, noting Kennedy’s pledge and federal officials’ objections. The dispute could delay $75 million of grain via Continental Grain Co as foreign-flag ships are cheaper.
