India claims gains in drive against Portugal
India said it captured the enclaves of Damao and Diu and opened a broad assault into Goa in a police action order. Navy reports a Portuguese ship sunk off Goa while the bombardment disrupted Nova Goa airport and radio. Portugal claimed outnumbered resistance but negotiated. The United States urged peace as Dean Rusk labeled the move a classic force use by a neutral bloc member. Prime Minister Nehru sent troops, tanks, warships, and bombers to back a rapid campaign.

Supreme Court Rejects NAACP Bid on Freedom Riders
The Supreme Court unanimously refused to order a stay of proceedings against Freedom Riders arrested in Jackson Mississippi. The order noted the petitioners seeking the stay did not appear to be the defendants in Mississippi courts. The decision followed a recent ruling overturning Baton Rouge sit-in convictions on narrower grounds. The court warned that federal injunctions against state criminal proceedings are extraordinary and left open the possibility of action later after state courts act.
