Note Of Warning By JFK
President Kennedy says the Soviet Union will stay ahead in space for a time but America can win in other scientific fields. He warns against the Communist bloc’s mobilization and says the danger will persist through most of the century while reaffirming U S opposition to Red China in the United Nations. Kennedy hopes for a Soviet reply to a cease fire proposal in Laos and notes potential job gains as military installations shut down.

Saco Charter Change Gets Pre legislative Hearing
A proposed revision of Saco's city charter faced a legislative airing at the State House with sharp exchanges between opponents and supporters. Sen. Ralph W. Farris Jr. and the Legal Affairs committee gathered pro and con data before moving the bill to the legislature. About 40 Saco residents attended, split roughly between supporters and critics, with many opposing arguments traced to the Saco Taxpayers Association. Mayor Charles Cote led backers, noting voters should decide the charter's destiny, as Mrs. George Love added that many voters oppose all proposed questions but had engaged in prior meetings.
