Schneider reported: "We have lost the Agena bird. We don't know exactly } what happened to it, The Gem- ini will not fly today." -He then scrubbed the launch of Gemini 9 pilots Thomas P.

LONDON (CP)-The National, Union of Seamen qarned Prime Minister Wilson the Royal Navy to break the two-day-long seamen's strike. | As ships piled up in British ports, Bill Hogarth, general sec- retary of the 65,006 - member! union, said the seamen would let the Royal Navy move ves- jsels from congested berths to "parking" areas, But he added: "If the government tries to use the navy to move ships to| another port for loading or for} anything else which looks like) strike breaking, we will immedi- ately ask the dockers to black (blacklist) those ships." Wilson said in a television) broadcast Monday night the} government is ready to call on! the Royal Navy if the strike produces a national emergency. The seamen began their walk- out for a shorter working week at the same pay at midnight Sunday night, immobilizing ships at ports throughout Brit- ain. If the strike continues, British ships will become strike- bound as they reach home ports at the rate of about 300 a week. The crew of the 85,000-ton cunard liner Queen Elizabeth joined the walkout after she ar- rived at Southampton Monday night from New York. 'LIGHTS GOING OUT' MAY USE ROYAL NAVY IN SEAMEN STRIKE: PM Counter - Action Threat Made By British Union The strike has hit coastal fer- ries, freighters and numerous other kinds of ships as well as the transatlantic passenger liners. Prime Minister Harold Wilson went cn a national television hookup Monday night to tell the seamen that, although he sym- pathized with thei: grievances, the walkout will settle nothing and will only make a solution more dififcult, He repeated his offer to set up a court of inquiry to look into the wages-and-hours struc- ture for the men at sea and to remold antiquated shipping leg- islation. The offer had been re» jected last week by the sea- men's union, WILLING TO TALK oth Bill Hogarth, the union's general secretary, and Ford Geddes, chairman of the ship- Ping federation, said Monday night they are willing to have further talks gvith Wilson, But Geddes said the ship own- ers are operating on a low profit margin already and can't afford the union's demands, Ho- garth said that only an im- proved offer from the shipping federation could end the strike, The union has called for a re- duction to 40 hours from 56 in the work week, without loss of pay. The ship owners want the reduction spread over two The liner's captain, Commo- dore Geoffrey Marr, said: 'I fear the lights are going out throughout Britain's merchant shipping tonight--and some of |them may never come on again.

Within hours of the strike Monday, there were reports of rising food prices. The main produce markets reported sharp increases in such items as po- tatoes and apples, largely im- ported by sea, as a result of speculation and panic buying, Wilson warned that fresh food may quickly become scarce and spoke out against those who would try to make a profit from the situation. The union has said it is ready to stay on strike for three months, and both sides talk of it as being almost certain that the strike will last for at least three closed Monday at $2.7914, peeks, Hctogrrocttaraee pnts norte itn SAIGON (Reuters) -- A tenant was machine-gunned northern city of Hue today containing South Vietnamese U.S. spokesman said here. underworld figure who disap 1964, appeared today in the Chinese Visit To Ro Chinese Premier Chou En-lai poned, East-bloc diplomats s the visit, never officially an sald. ...
