Secretary of State Dean Rusk testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee urging ratification of the U S British Soviet pact to outlaw all nuclear explosions except underground tests. He said East German signing does not imply U S recognition of the Communist regime and that the treaty, if observed, would slow the arms race without weakening U S security.

Putnamville Indiana two prisoners remained missing after an inmate riot at a state farm was quelled by shotgun fire from state troopers. About 500 inmates smashed doors to seize narcotics in the farm hospital while guards conducted a sweep. Two rioters from Muncie, Robert Glen Stith 19 and Samuel Eugene Crouch 26, faced counts of trespass and jail break. Walter Oliver 19 of Indianapolis was wounded by birdshot, and Frank Harrison 53 suffered a scalp cut from a brick. Commissioner Arthur Campbell said the shooting used birdshot and that two-thirds stayed quiet. The disturbance began after Merrill Hobbs of Indianapolis died from pneumonia, sparking claims of inadequate care.
