Phone strike talks break as Bell demands union approval
Illinois Bell pressed for a three year pact to be sent to union members with no comment, triggering a breakdown in talks. Robert A. Nickey, chief negotiator, blamed the impasse on an ultimatum that leaders either recommend the contract or stay silent. Bell allegedly withdrew its offer to submit the contract to rank and file after the union team rejected the condition.

Decline in Cigarette Use Reported in IRS Data
U S government figures show a 0.28 percent drop in fiscal 1968 cigarettes sold to 543.5 billion from 545.1 billion the year before. Surgeon General Dr. William Stewart says the message against smoking may be getting through and notes no immediate plan to expand antismoking efforts. A Tobacco Institute spokesman attributes the dip to lower production due to labor strikes. Also local obituaries and traffic notices appear from Illinois towns Carterville Marion and Carbondale with brief charges and fines.

East West strains dim Pueblo talks over North Korea crew
North Korea holds 82 U S intelligence officers in prison in Pyongyang nearing eight months. Diplomatic talks look dim due to North Korean hard line demands for a formal U S apology over the Pueblo action amid Soviet led Czech crisis tensions. South Korea’s ambassador to Washington says Kim Il Sung’s regime will not relax its stance while Kim Il Sung remains in power. North Korea has ignored U S requests for a 20th meeting for the past 45 days.
