In Laguna Beach and Tijuana a Peoria foreman Melvin Miller and his Marine Corps group drew attention at a bull ring. The bull repeatedly leapt over the 4½ foot barrier, the crowd roared Viva Melvin Miller, and matador Manuel Capetillo dedicated the bull to him.

Swain causing a staged flight event and police intervention after the Neptune plane carried classified cargo and suffered minor damage.
