Ship Strike
WoIkout Spreads,
30 Port Cities
Are Involved

NEW YORK, June II (AP) t.
The creeping paralysis Of a
major maritime strike spread
to seaportS around the Nation
today as Federal mediatorS
pleaded for a full resumption
Of peace talks. There were re-
ports that a Federal injunc-
tion might be sought by one
shipping group.
Thirty port cities and almost
1000 freighters, tankers and
passenger liners are involved
in the strike, which began at
midnight Thursday.
Major SnarlS to a settlement
are a shippers claim that the
striking unions threatened to
price the industry out of ex-
iStence, and union demands
for the right to organize for
eign-fiag" shipping.
PicketS in March
With White House interven-
ton to head off the walkout
a failure, pickets in New York,
New Jersey, louisiana. Texas
and Massachusetts, and other
shipping areas marched at
piers to halt work.
Violence flared. Three n en-
were injured in a fight yes
terday when Texaco refinery
workers near Camden, N. j.,
tried to cross a picket line set
up by the National Maritime
Union. Four persons were ar
rested.
Federal officials intensified
efforts to get the seven unions
representing $4,000 seamen
and the bulk of the Nations
shipping operators back to the
bargaining table.
They worked amid reports that
the American Merchant Marine
Institute might ask President
Kennedy to bring the Taft
Hartley Act to bear with an
80-day injunction so that ship
ping would be resumed while
negotiations continue.

j. Goldberg, here since Thurs

quest shortly after Paul Hall,
president of the Seafarers In
ternational Union, predicted
that there will be an important
break" soon toward settling
the walkout.

session since the strike began
got under way this morning
between representatives Of the
National Maritime Union and
the Merchant Marine Institute
Joseph Curran, NMU presi-
dent, and Ralph E. Casey,

group, met across a table in

Finances Given
BY Comp. Goldstein

In response to inquiries as to
the source by political subdivi-
sions of the States tax revenues
and amounts returned to these
subdivisions, State Comptroller
Louis l.. Goldstein announced this
week that he was releasing COM
pilation of information available
from his office records.
Mr.. Goldstein in explaining fig
ures, said it was necessary to
show as "unallocable" by source
considerable amount of these
revenues since the States central
izcd method of tax collection does
not always provide ready infor-
nation on the actual incidence of
all taxes.
A considerable amount of with
held individual income taxes re-
mains undistributable at the end
of each year because of unified
personel income tax returns. Cor
poration income taxes are received
in large part from out of state
corporations operating in Mary
land. A considerable portion of
Retail Sales and Use Taxes are
received from District of Columbia
and other out of state vendors.
