Kennedy slows civil rights push argues for pace
President Kennedy, once urgent on civil rights, now says no need to rush new legislation. Clark and Celler offered a civil rights package, but White House says it is not administration backed. Salinger noted Kennedy prefers using existing powers and not enacting new laws immediately. The stance aims to reassure Southern Democrats wary of rapid action.

Reds Take Over School In Mexico
A student committee from the National Confederation of Students reports that Communists have seized the University of Puebla, using force to bar entry. The team, sent to Puebla 66 miles southeast of Mexico City, notes most students want class to resume while minority groups led by clearly identified Communist directors employ clash and Molotov cocktails to keep outsiders out. Local authorities had refused intervention, deeming it a university matter.
