Strike widens as RMK-BRJ workers walkout spreads
The walkout, expected to spread further, faces opposition from the U S Embassy which argues wage hikes would worsen inflation. Authorities found no Communist activity in the strike, though Viet Cong links were cited in a Saigon port workers’ walkout last month. RMK-BRJ employs over 38,000 Vietnamese workers on a billion-dollar construction drive in South Vietnam. Monthly payroll nears $1.7 million, with raises sought for workers tied to a 1957 cost of living scale despite prices tripling.

Payola allegations loom as promoters accuse DJs
Los Angeles freelance promoter Carrie Grant testified at a closed FCC hearing that record companies gave disc jockeys and program directors payola in forms from food and clothing to cars, paint jobs and even money and prostitutes between 1962 and 1963. Grant and Albert Huskey filed a $230,000 civil suit, prompting the probe that may subpoena hundreds of DJs, program directors, promoters, and executives nationwide. The FCC plans to continue the investigation in other cities. The examiner described the hearing as investigative, not judicial.
