Mo. Pacific hit by strike
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — (UPI) — Trainmen struck the 12-state, 12,-000 mile Missouri Pacific Railroad (MOPAC) without warning early today in a dispute over restoration for jobs. The walkout could affect movement of vital ammunition supplies for Vietnam.
Also hit by a strike of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen was the Texas and Pacific Railway, with which the MOPAC covers the entire Midwest south to the Gulf of Mexico.
It was feared the walkout might spread to all parts of the nation. Other possible union targets, according to the Association of American Railroads, included the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio; the Southern Railway; the Union Pacific; the Boton & Maine; the Chesapeake & Ohio; and Seaboard Coastline.
MOPAC serves several major arsenals and military establishments, the spokesman explained, and "effects of the strike will be felt almost immediately on supplies moving to war zones."

"informed South Korean government sources" as saying the rest of the 83-member crew of the Pueblo would be released through a "third party nation" and that the ship's wounded would be released soon.
South Koreans grumbled openly, students demonstrated over what they saw as U.S. appeasement of North Korea and the South Korean government hinted it may make a "serious move" if they are not kept fully informed about negotiations in Pamunjam over the Pueblo incident.
The secret talks have been held three times at Panmunjom, the North Korean village where the 1553 Korean armistice was reached.
In Washington, a State Department spokesman, asked about the report by Kyodo that the body of a Pueblo crew member had been
returned and flown to the aircraft carrier Enterprise, said:
"Nothing doing. It didn't happen."
But the Washington sources did report the meetings were dealing in substantive issues, and State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey said the fact that the meetings were continuing could be considered "some progress."
But he added, "I should caution you against any suggestion that we feel we are on the verge of settling the problem."
What angered many South Koreans was statements by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara they could not be certain the Pueblo did not penetrate North Korea's claimed 12-mile limit. The South Koreans said the statements represented appeasement.

Kids choke on polluted air. Streets are jammed by cars with no place to go. Italy's priceless art and libraries are ravaged by floods. This is the way the world is, but it's not the way it has to be. Air pollution can be prevented. Better transportation can be devised. Something can even be done about the weather. Many people at General Electric are already working on these problems, but we need more. We need help from young engineers and
scientists; and we need help from business and liberal arts graduates who understand people and their problems. If you want to help solve important problems, we'd like to talk to you. We'll be visiting campus soon. Drop by the placement office and arrange for an interview.
