President undergoes successful operations
WASHINGTON—(UPI)President Johnson was operated on successfully today for removal of a non-cancerous polyp in his throat and repair of a surgical hernia in his abdomen.
The 53-minute surgery on the 58-year-old Chief Executive was conducted by a team of seven medical specialists at Bethesda Naval Hospital early this morning.
White House Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers told newsmen that Johnson was "resting well and the doctors are satisfied with the outcome of the surgery and the President's condition."
The announcement was made after the two operations were completed.
Trains collide in rush hour
RIO DE JANEIRO—(UPI)—An inbound commuter train jammed with an estimated 2,500 workers smashed headon into a passenger train south of here during the morning rush hour today. At least 30 persons were killed and more than 200 others injured.
Police, who made the casualty estimate, said the toll probably would rise. Rescue crews were digging through the tangled wreckage.
COMMUTER TRAINS coming into the city each morning are packed with workers. Younger riders often hang on the steps outside the cars when there is no room inside.
Trains in both directions were using one track today because a second track was flooded by rains that have been falling on Rio for the past week.
According to a railroad spokesman, the outgoing train from Rio was not signalled to halt and it continued to Olinda where it collided with the second train.
Networks strike imminent
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Broadcasters and two radio and television performers' union broke off contract talks early today. A union spokesman said a strike eliminating live programming on the nation's major networks was imminent.

A strike by the unions could yank disc jockeys off the radio and fill the television airwaves with old re-runs, according to industry sources.
THE NETWORKS ARE the American Broadcasting Co., the Columbia Broadcasting System, the National Broadcasting Co., and the Mutual Broadcasting System.
A strike would immediately affect everyone who announces, comments, forecasts weather, acts, sings, dances or performs in any way on live broadcasting via the concerned networks.
At issue in the negotiations were salary demands, fees for commercials, new salary arrangements for newsmen, and scores of minor issues.
