Dodd Defends Fulbright Attack on Intervention
Sen Thomas J Dodd of Connecticut accuses Fulbright of tolerating communism while defending the Dominican Republic intervention as an unavoidable necessity. He says Fulbright ignores evidence and wrongly labels administration policy, citing Castroist influence and Soviet Chinese backing for Cuban followers. Dodd, a Johnson ally, contrasts liberal critics who fear revolutions with his view that communists are counter revolutionaries.

New Orleans Workers Fight to Curb Health Crisis After Betsy
In flood scarred zones east of the Industrial Canal crews and police combed a 300 square block area to remove rats snakes and starving dogs hindering 5 000 families from returning home. Health officials warned the area remained a health hazard and special entry permits were issued to prevent looting as a door to door search for bodies continues. Government officials projected Betsy losses at least 1 billion with crop damage and offshore oil impact adding to the toll. A chlorine barge missing near Baton Rouge prompted a river search while a dispute over death toll sparked sharp comments from Dr Edward Teller and a swift rebuke from Mayor Schiro who accused him of making unfounded statements.
