Marines Land Troops in Thailand to Protect Territory
President Kennedy orders 1,800 U.S. Marines to Thailand to defend its territorial integrity amid Laos tensions. The force joins about 1,000 Army troops already in country as part of SEATO maneuvers. Aimed at pressuring a cease-fire and coalition talks in Laos, officials say no commitments were made in talks with Congress. The move comes during high regional strain and amid Moscow’s warning of dangerous consequences.

Municipal tax shift debated to aid Maine towns
Maine towns need about 20 million annually beyond current 80 million from property taxes. A proposed 1 per capita distribution from utilities excise tax would be small and not solve the municipal financial problem. Supporters urge more state funds, particularly for education, highways, and sewers, as local revenues stay limited. Leaders warn of a coming major tax increase if new local sources aren’t found.
