Stennis notes Dodd probe over document copies

After a daylong closed hearing chairman John Stennis said copies of more than 4,000 documents from Senator Dodd's office were questioned for admissibility. The probe seeks all documents and facts, with the original materials returned to Dodd's files and further inquiry if variances appear.

Rally Planned as Marchers Seek Converts in Mississippi

Amid Mississippian heat, militant marchers press toward Philadelphia after securing Belzoni courthouse restrooms. They carry multicolored banners marking Mississippi March 1966 and stage a nighttime rally to commemorate the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers James Chaney Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman. Seventeen white defendants including Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and Deputy Cecil Price face trial September 26 in Meridian on related charges.

Children Museum Plans Summer Lectures and Classes

The Children's Museum and Planetarium in Sunrise schedules Sunday talks titled In the Good Old Summertime with regular 1:30 pm sessions on Tuesday and Thursday and a 1:30 pm nature art and travel slide program on Wednesdays. Openings exist in art classes for 6 to 9 and 9 to 12, teen art workshops, rock hounds for 10 to 14, puppet workshop for 8 to 12, nature hikes to Kanawha State Forest for 9 to 12, storytelling for 4 to 8, and star parties for all ages. Minor charges relate to the deaths. Robert Green of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference announced a Philadelphia sidetrip to protest church burnings and slayings, as marchers urged local Negroes to register to vote. The group, about 250, camped at a churchyard, guarded by eight trustees from Parchman prison, and attempted to desegregate restrooms in the Humphreys County courthouse. Green led a small group inside to find two unlocked restrooms, both marked for employees, and urged use of the employee restroom. Sheriff John Purvis unlocked the other restroom after Green demanded access, and marchers passed Negro and white onlookers along the route, continuing toward a planned Jackson rally after completing the Mississippi march.
