Hope I hospital ship aids Peru amid strikes in Salaverry
The world famous hospital vessel Hope I sits at Salaverry port near Trujillo as post, telegraph and rail disruptions in Peru affect operations. Keota, Washington, Burlington and Maquoketa residents serve aboard, while Walter Nettles of Denver coordinates supplies and news. The ship carries 108 medical staff and a 106 crew, with 120 to 250 patients supported by 30 to 60 Peruvian doctors and students. The greatest need is a broad fundraising push from American industry and civic groups. Hope remains in Salaverry from May 21 until April 1, 1963, before returning to the United States.

Kaiser Steel votes for profit sharing plan at Fontana plant
Kaiser Steel Corp employees at the Fontana plant overwhelmingly approved a new profit sharing plan aimed at eliminating strikes over economics and guarding against automation.
