Death of Alexander Dubcek reported by ham radio operators
Amateur radio operators in Europe and the United States reported receiving broadcasts from Czechoslovakia claiming that Communist leader Alexander Dubcek had died. No official confirmation was issued, and the Prague clandestine radio again said he was seized and taken to an unknown destination. U.S. listening posts reportedly heard similar broadcasts but had no details. One listener, Frank Melville of Elmsford New York, described Morse code exchanges confirming a death report two hours old. Another listener, Robert Sawyer of Hermon Maine, relayed a Czech request from Bratislava to spread the news to amateurs abroad. The Prague report also cited heavy fighting in Bratislava amid the Soviet invasion.

Old Men Camp in Maine Recovers Through Grass and Gardens
Jefferson Camp in Maine, run by the Health & Welfare Department, houses about 40 homeless men, many former woodsmen, who cut grass and tend gardens on 150 acres. The 80 year old inmate described life there as a relief from hard times, with few belongings, blue dungarees, meals, a day room, and self sufficiency in produce. Most residents stay six months, some years, and can leave with permission but must return if leaving. The camp opened in 1942 and has housed over 2,000 men, with no fences and voluntary Social Security arrangements.
