Reports say farmers may load sugar onto the freighter Wellpark at Mackay, with watersiders again refusing to work the vessel. Federal Labour Minister Holt and Army Minister Francis discuss alternate labor options as sugar is urgently needed in New South Wales. In Brisbane, waterside protests delayed operations as the former Communist secretary was picked up, and 2000 tons of frozen meat plus 60 tons of grain Baker were loaded at Paringa. Townsville's waterfront ran normally with five vessels, over 400 men, and cargoes including sugar and minerals.
