City Schools Get 54000 Windfall For Summer Programs
City Schools receive 54000 windfall allocations after the State Education department allowed direct receipt to Bridgeport via Westport and Darien. Darien gets 28000, Westport 26080, to fund summer programs including reading and arts camps, averting expected cuts. Superintendent Silverstone says federal funds delayed until Sept 1 required quick action, calling the move an answer to a prayer. Geraldine Johnson of the Developmental Program office also thanked the districts.

Thant Says Hanoi Still Adamant on Peace Talk Terms
Thant’s assessment follows Britain’s view that only a very narrow gap separates Washington and Hanoi from talks. Prime Minister Wilson says Hanoi could meet three provisions for talks: prompt, productive negotiations, informal steps to avoid strengthening Ho’s regime, and a bombing halt. Ho Chi Minh opposes the conditions though they are considered soluble by some. Thant seeks clarifications from Paris and New York, with no new element reported in the crisis.

Corsairs built and sold after World War II at low price
Reputedly sold after World War II to foreign governments for as little as $1, they cannot be bought back for that amount. Many were scrapped postwar as storage was costly. Corsairs were manufactured from 1840 to 1953, with production moving from 1949 at the relocated Chance Vought plant in Grand Prairie, Texas. A total of 12,571 were built.
