School Board reverses plan on letter about athletic eligibility
After over an hour of debate the board reversed a plan to write the U S Office of Education questioning University Interscholastic League transfer rules affecting Sterling and Robert E Lee High School students. The dispute centered on eligibility losses for white students choosing Sterling over Lee. Several members accused others of stalling the issue as federal action loomed.

Declaration Urges Total Withdrawal From Viet Nam War
PHNOM PENH Cambodian officials and France issued a joint declaration during President De Gaulle's visit urging the evacuation of foreign troops from Vietnamese territory. The document called for adherence to the 1954 Geneva accords, an end to all acts of war, and a timetable for troop withdrawal, alongside pursuit of a neutral, internationally guaranteed structure for Vietnam. North Viet Nam’s Pham Van Dong countered, saying no peace talks while U.S. troops remain, and that Hanoi would not attend without a U.S. withdrawal, recognition of the NLF, and a halt to the war.
