Washington AP reports doctors described Dwight D. Eisenhower's condition as guarded and said the earlier possibility of a heart transplant had been seriously considered then rejected due to his age and other medical conditions. The latest Walter Reed bulletin noted fewer ventricular irregularities and rest, while the overall condition remained unchanged. President Johnson called for prayers for the ailing general during a Veterans of Foreign Wars event in Detroit.

Residents urge curb parking relief on East Church Street
Residents and property owner Paul Orner petitioned the City Council to switch diagonal to parallel parking along East Church Street near the Raymond Mfg plant to ease backing out and truck dock congestion. Council asked City Engineer David Johnson to review options, noting the plant does not own curb-to-sidewalk space. The issue follows a year of talks with Raymond management. Also, a July sales tax revenue shortfall trimmed state general fund receipts by about 1.1 million.
