Pair Sentenced On Spy Charges In New Jersey Case
In Newark two foreigners were sentenced for conspiring to spy for Russia. John W. Butenko, an American engineer, received 30 years plus two five year concurrent terms. Igor Ivanov, a Russian chauffeur, got 20 years plus a five year concurrent term. Both faced additional counts for failing to register foreign agents. Butenko proclaimed innocence and asked for mercy, while Ivanov said he was innocent and had come to the United States only to work as a chauffeur. The eight week trial centered on transmitting U.S. Air Force secrets to the Soviet Union, with the defendants arrested at a Englewood railroad station.

North Carolina launches battle against adult illiteracy
Raleigh AP reports North Carolina becomes the first state to attack adult illiteracy under the war on poverty. The program, funded by the Economic Opportunity Act, will be run by the Department of Community Colleges through the division of adult education and community services. It offers free basic education to adults 18 or older with less than an eighth grade education, with classes up to 30 hours weekly and capped at 15 students per class. The initiative cites a 1960 census showing over 900,000 adults over 25 unable to understand eighth grade materials.
