North Vietnam angrily rejected a UN reply over a cease-fire breach allegation near Kaesong. The dispute centers on whether UN troops violated a Communist military police detachment, with Pyongyang radio backing Hanoi and urging heavy punishment.

Sharp Earthquake Series Shakes Hawaiian Islands
A sequence of sharp earthquakes rocked Hawaii causing $45,000 in damage and injuring at least one person. Quakes at 12:57 and 1:41 am centered near Hoanaunau Naokena on the eastern island, with extensive damage to homes, stores, and roads. Police and residents reported evacuations, broken utilities, and tremors felt as far as Honolulu. The event followed the Mauna Loa eruption of 1950 with fears of a tidal surge subsiding as no tsunami appeared.

City Taxes May Drop
City council postponed final vote on lowering the tax rate from 1.75 and 1.04 to 1.71 and 1.60 pending further study. With assessed valuation up about 19.3 million this year, officials weigh lower rates against funding needs for water service in the warehouse district and related bonds and funds. Council members Hale Wilson and Phillips support more study. Mayor Bee backs current rates. Haar was absent for a minor hospital visit.
