B P Helgeson explains the reactor based propulsion tests where cold flow verified vibration causes without nuclear heat. Engineers strengthened the core support after 1962 issues and expect success in the next hot run. The note adds that U.S. agricultural products have been bartered for defense materials totaling about 1.5 billion dollars since 1954.

Hearing Set For Madison County School Desegregation Case
U S District Judge H Hobart Grooms scheduled a January 24 hearing on four petitions by Black attorneys seeking a preliminary injunction against the Madison County Board of Education over alleged racial discrimination. He overruled a motion to dismiss the suit and also set hearings on related cases including a $1 million libel suit by the Mississippi Patrol against Curtis Publishing Co. and a $10 million suit by Paul Bryant over an article accusing him of fixing a 1962 game. He postponed ruling on a Justice Department voter registration suit and kept in abeyance a bid to desegregate Huntsville city schools as planners present a new desegregation plan.
