Telephone Workers Strike Strands Rhode Island Area
Pickets gathered outside the New England Telephone business office on Broadway and the Bull Street exchange as about 1,000 Rhode Island workers walked out at 7 am for a two day strike called by the International Brotherhood of Telephone Workers in protest of a local Framingham Massachusetts president’s suspension. An Newport district manager said no service or emergency repairs will be affected, only new service installations. About five pickets stood in front of the offices by mid morning waving placards.

McNamara Urges Military Pay Raise in Congress Testimony
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara urged Congress to approve a $446.6 million pay increase for military personnel, calling it fair to servicemen and taxpayers. He backed an across the board 4.4 percent rise for those over five years of service and 22.7 percent for enlisted with under two years. The House Armed Services Committee, led by L. Mendel, has questioned the proposal, favoring a 7 percent overall boost totaling about $392.5 million annually. McNamara noted basic pay is only part of total compensation and highlighted housing and food allowances and tax exemptions as key benefits for servicemen.
