Longshoremen Boycott Faces Court Test in New Orleans
In New Orleans courts today the International Longshoremen's Association boycott of Soviet bound cargoes is tested as longshoremen resist loading grain aboard the Julia L. The Justice Department files a statement of interest saying the embargo could impair U S foreign policy while the Steamship Association argues a contract violation and seeks shipment. The Julia L. remains docked as two Greek ships were involved in a grain deal with the Soviet Union.
