Five U S Air Force planes hunt for downed U2 over Panama
A U S Air Force search unit launched five planes with pararescue crews and radar gear from Bermuda and Florida to locate a U2 reconnaissance aircraft believed to have run low on oxygen and crashed south of Panama after departing Florida. Pilot Capt. Robert D. Hickman, 32, of Alexandria Louisiana, was unconscious at the time of departure. The defense department cited possible automatic pilot control and no evidence of Cuba missile activity. Oxygen depletion possibly above 25 000 feet is noted. Hickman’s family includes his wife Pauline and six children. The incident recalls the 1960 Powers U2 shootdown over the Soviet Union.

Johnson Takes Over Strike Negotiations
President Johnson assumed control of airline strike talks today urging both sides to reach a collective bargaining settlement. After a White House meeting with Johnson, 11 management and 11 union members resumed talks. Moyers noted little progress and a possible 36 month contract, with figures around 60 to 80 million for three years. Johnson remarked negotiations may succeed better than congressional action as Wilson visits and Congress acts on a strike-ending measure.
