Kennedy Calls Arbitration Ignored In TWA Flight Engineers Strike
United Press International reports that 615 TWA flight engineers will strike at 2 pm EDT Tuesday, despite President Kennedy urging arbitration. The walkout could halt operations at Trans World Airways, the nation’s fourth largest carrier, affecting about 20,000 employees. The dispute centers on cockpit crew composition and training, with the engineers resisting merger with the Airline Pilots Association and seeking arbitration on economic issues only.

Katanga Ore Shipment Plan Backed by Leaders
Central government Premier Cyrille Adoula and Katanga President Moise Tshombe reportedly reached terms to route Katanga ore via national transport again. Ore previously moved through Tanganyika and Angola after a 1960 bridge explosion on the Lubilash Railway. Restoring barge and rail to Matadi could provide thousands of jobs and boost the central treasury.
