Reuther calls for AFL CIO reform and possible UAW exit
Walter P. Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, urged the AFL CIO to convene a December special convention to consider modernizing the parent labor body. He threatened a UAW withdrawal if the convention rejects his program, citing stagnation on racial integration and organizing effort as key failures. Reuther plans talks with other unions and warns of a possible broader split amid upcoming aerospace contracts and the 1968 elections.

Florida Frost Kills Three As Cold Hits South
Frosty air from ocean breezes broke into south Florida early Saturday causing three deaths from fires sparked by faulty heaters. Infants and a woman died while crops across the citrus belt mostly escaped though truck farms along the coast reported damage to tomatoes beans peppers cucumbers and squash. The cold plunged to 25 degrees in the sugar cane belt near Lake Okeechobee but farmers say crops were mature enough to endure the brief cold snap.

Dr Christiaan Barnard refused the call by three American surgeons to halt heart transplants awaiting further evaluation. He said he would not abide by a moratorium, noting that decisions must come from each doctor and that more transplants could yield needed information. The request was voiced by Dr George Burchulane and colleagues at a cardiology conference in San Francisco.

New Hampshire Air Tease Over Rocky's Availability
In Concord ten days before the state presidential primary the air is tense as Rockefeller weighs a possible run. Romney's withdrawal, McCarthy's quiet campaign, and a write-in push shape a charged GOP scene while Democrats organize for Chicago. Mao quotes on Vietnam close the report.

Fourth Cloture Vote Set Monday in Senate
Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield warned the Senate faces a go for broke vote on Monday as Democrats press for a fourth cloture attempt to end debate on a civil rights package. The plan would stage a three step open housing measure outlawing housing discrimination by 1970 and add federal protections against racial violence for Black citizens and civil rights workers. Mansfield signaled he might drop civil rights to pursue other business if cloture fails.
