Senate Advances Prison Measure in Vermont
The Vermont Senate unanimously approved the first step of a three phase plan to close Wind sor State Prison. A 1.25 million bond would fund a new medium security institute for youth offenders aged 16 to 26 on 50 acres near Windsor Village. The project aims to replace the obsolete Windsor facility and includes stages two and three to separate younger inmates from older ones over a five year period at about 4 million dollars with expanded rehabilitation staff. Senator Olin B. Gay cites a letter alleging negative outcomes from non separation of youth.

Cardinal Meyer Rites Observed
CHICAGO UPD A Solemn Pontifical Mass was celebrated today in last rites for Albert Cardinal Meyer the grocer s son who became a prince of the Roman Catholic Church and one of its greatest voices. A funeral procession of hundreds of priests nuns and brothers wound its way from the rectory of Holy Name Cathedral into the sanctuary of the vast 19th century Gothic edifice on Chicago s Near North Side. At the rear of the procession in the place of honor were six cardinals including four of the United States five surviving prelates. They occupied special thrones that faced the audience of 1800 mourners during the Mass of U S policy in Southeast Asia. In this role he wants to talk over with Johnson possible peace moves for Viet Nam. Wilson s flight is scheduled to arrive in New York shortly after midnight. The prime minister will confer with Secretary General Thant at the United Nations Wednesday and will meet with Johnson in Washington on Thursday. The Viet Nam crisis is expected to be the No 1 topic of conversation Wilson has supported Johnson s policies despite considerable opposition to it from left wingers within his own Labor party. He gave a warm reception last week to the President s offer to negotiate a peace settlement in Viet Nam without prior conditions on either side. Wilson designated his former foreign minister Patrick Gordon Walker to make a tour of Asia in an effort to sound out the prospects for peace in the Pacific area.
