Apollo 13 crisis shocks TV viewers during abortive lunar return
UPI reports live network coverage captured a dramatic Apollo 13 crisis as the mission aborted after power and oxygen failures in the command module. Spokesmen warned of a potentially fatal situation if modules failed to stay connected. The crew aimed for a rapid Friday splashdown, with two moonwalks canceled. In Newport Washington a 16 year old Spokane youth died diving at Diamond Lake after oxygen ran out.

Congressmen Block Fast Passage of Federal Pay Raise
Two congressmen blocked quick final approval of a 2.6 billion federal pay raise by objecting to a provision granting Capitol Hill staff up to 2009. Rep. Andrew Jacobs and Rep. Charles Bennett argued against giving congressional employees a larger raise than postal workers. The measure, retroactive to December 27, 1969, was expected to pass later and go to President Nixon for signature.
