Polaris project may cost US billions but save Skybolt costs
The Kennedy administration weighs a $580 million pull to supply navigational and fire control equipment for Polaris. It could save about $2 billion by replacing the Skybolt bomber program promised to Britain. The plan envisions US support facilities and test ranges, possibly allowing British subs to use Cape Canaveral and the observation island for training and testing.

Dock Strike Threatens Shipping
NEW YORK AP A threatened dock strike by about 60 000 longshoremen could halt unloading at Atlantic ports. The International Longshoremen's Association says ships may unload passengers and avoid blocking tug service during ports. The 80 day cooling off period under Taft Hartley ends Sunday, risking renewed walkout in a wage dispute. Labor Secretary Wirtz and federal mediators plan last minute talks to avert action. The union fights proposed cuts in work gangs from 20 to 17 over three years, arguing automation already reduces jobs.
