Neosho county completes a phase of noxious weed control in cooperation with the Santa Fe railroad. County equipment and personnel joined the effort with Santa Fe supplying labor and a water truck. The program also includes spraying on state highway rights of way under the highway commission. Commissioners note road and railroad rights of way and streams are primary Johnson grass sources. Eradication is unlikely, but progress in control is reported with follow up sprayings needed due to reinfestation by seed.

AP reported that Pentagon leaders warn the United States and Soviet Union may have reached an equal terror balance. Harold Brown told a Senate subcommittee that both sides face unacceptable damage from any full thermonuclear war. Gen. John P. McConnell said the USSR will match US ICBMs by year end, potentially letting Soviet leaders intervene in crises with less risk of U.S. opposition. Brown added nuclear threats may not deter conventional arms conflicts in Europe.
