Navy Cmdr. James Travis Waddel, 38, of Denver, died along with three other persons in an early Sunday incident in Palo Alto, California, according to AP reports. Local authorities did not release further details.
A Paris court fined Simon Mauret the equivalent of 8.40 dollars for insisting on traveling second class on a French railroad while holding a first class ticket. The report also notes an auto accident on the Bayshore Freeway and mentions Waddell as commander of Fighter Squadron VFL93 at Moffett Field, California.
Cheyenne Wells Colorado AP reports nearly nine million eastern Colorado acres under grasshopper attack. Fifteen counties show critical invasion with 1 63 million rangeland acres destroyed this year. Federal entomologists surveyed the area and sent findings to the Agriculture Department to assess disaster aid. Governor McNichols urged federal help. About 10 percent of wheat land damaged. Colorado’s 1958 crop value projection cited at 110 million dollars.
In Appleton Wisconsin four Lawrence College alumni received bronze medals for distinguished service at the 109th commencement. Among the honorees was George F Reynolds a noted Shakespearean scholar from Boulder Colorado.
Washington AP reports the Supreme Court declined to invalidate a Hartford County Maryland gradual desegregation plan allowing Negro students who pass examinations to enter high school grades pending full integration. The decision leaves the plan in effect after lower courts approved it. The Court also agreed to review whether military officers have absolute immunity in libel cases when reporting to Congress. It did not rule on three Columbus Ohio ordinances banning gambling promoting games.
An Ohio Supreme Court decision upholds the ordinances as applied to pin game machines, finding no violation of U S Constitutional guarantees. The appeal contends the statutes infringe rights, but the court sustains the local restrictions and their application.
Rep. Holifield says Senate testimony shows urgent need for at least one more plutonium producing plant. He notes two may be required, with Hanford in Washington as the likely site, and warns adding a plant could push the ABC budget beyond 188 million dollars.
The text notes a plant cost from 126 million to 250 million dollars depending on capacity and type. It also includes stray ad fragments mentioning S&H stamps and names like Gilbert Bishop and Weldorado Druge- Adv, reflecting garbled Tribune want ads and unclear references.
