The 1967 report notes the U S launched 77 vehicles into orbit vs 66 by the Soviets, and 10 escape missions vs 1 for the Soviet Union. It also cites Komarov’s death delaying Soviet plans and the Apollo fire fatalities delaying the American program.

Crowds confront Bethel hearing on suspended chief Kirk
In Bethel a crowd of about 70 angry residents pressed for admission outside town hall as the Board of Police Commissioners heard opening testimony in the case against suspended Police Chief Francis Kirk. The session saw one charge dropped, testimony from Danbury accountant Robert Durgy, and a resignation shakeup that led to the suspension. Separately, President Peace Corps noted Roxbury Stamford students and the PTA sent 1100 to Brazil for a School Partnership Program project building a school in Sao Caetano.
