Rushed roofing deal in local overcharge controversy
Grace Graham of Spring Street faced a costly 729 dollar roll roofing bill after Armstrong Construction and three salesmen allegedly misled her. Investigators say the contractor overcharged, used a subpar job described as butchery, and charged finance fees raising the total. Warrants await two other crew members as neighbors aided exposure of the scam. The Journal reports the city permit delay and a price estimate between 100 and 200 dollars for a proper job.

JFK Wheat Decision Draws Cheers Sparks Controversy
President Kennedy approved private sales of American wheat to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe for dollars or gold, with purchases not allowed for Cuba. Reactions varied from Senator Thurmond’s accusation of arming the foe to Senator Aiken’s view that gains would benefit both the US and purchasing nations. Kennedy indicated further sales may follow, noting the plan aims to boost the balance of payments and support farm producers while observers estimate totals potentially reaching several hundred million dollars and millions of tons.

Mrs Nhu Speaks Kennedy Lulls People
Mrs Igo Dinh Nhu urged President Kennedy to inform the people rather than lull them into a false sense of security about Communist anger. She spoke at an Overseas Press Club event during a seven day U S tour, saying the first step would be to inform the public and prepare them morally to face danger. Her father Tran Vat Chuong, once South Vietnam’s ambassador to the United States, was dismissed after a contentious cable and estrangement, a Saigon government move cited in Saigon papers.
