Funeral coin decides Tidd wealth split between churches
Hutchinson capitalist Harry Tidd revealed in a Rotary Club talk that he has set aside a large sum in his will for either the Roman Catholic or Episcopal church. He said the pastors will toss a coin to decide which church conducts his funeral, with the proceeds going to the winner. If one pastor backs out, the other church receives the money.

Rusk vows expanded peace effort in Vietnam and Middle East
In a final news conference after eight years at State, Secretary Dean Rusk said the Johnson administration will expand efforts to achieve peace in Vietnam and the Middle East. He urged restraint by Israel and Arab governments and said U.S. diplomacy will seek a lasting peace via the U.N. Security Council framework. Rusk warned a breakdown of tenuous Middle East arrangements would be catastrophic and predicted progress through phased talks, while brushing off reports of rift with Defense Secretary Clifford.
