Antiwar sentiment was not nearly so pronounced in the Midwest. In Chicago, TIME Correspondent Sam Iker stopped 16 people at random in the street, and discovered that just two had some idea of what the Moratorium was about.

Earlier, there were almost-unheard-of wildcat strikes by West Berlin bus and subway employees, Ruhr steelworkers and Saar coal miners. > In France, the trains, subways and buses began rolling again after a week of wildcat strikes. But almost immediately, unofficial stoppages happened at random from the Channel to the Italian border, and 10,000 employees at the huge Renault plant near Paris are threatening to strike next week for shorter hours...
