Plan Ends New York City Strike Shuts Sewage Operations
An eight thousand strong wildcat walkout by city workers over pension terms ended Tuesday after union leaders accepted a four point plan. The strike halted sewage treatment and trash incineration, closed bridges and halted services, with 1.3 billion gallons of raw sewage dumped into waterways until operations resumed. Mayor Lindsay praised New Yorkers for unity as bridges reopened and crews returned to work.

Senator voices queasy feeling over banks backing Lockheed Tristar
Sen. Robert Packwood says he has a queasy feeling about 24 major banks refusing further investment in Lockheed's Tristar jet. The Nixon administration seeks a Treasury guarantee to cover losses if Congress approves another 250 million dollar infusion, risking taxpayer money to save Lockheed from bankruptcy amid calls of government involvement. Treasury Secretary Connally and Sen. William Proxmire clash over motives and risk implications.
