The hearing also covered his Cuba trip in 1959 and ongoing defense arguments for release. Meanwhile President Johnson proposed a five point disarmament program at the Geneva conference, including a verified freeze on strategic weapons and limits on production with inspections.

Stickley Declines Run for North Carolina Governor
Charlotte businessman John L. Stickley announced he would not seek the Republican nomination for governor. His decision fuels speculation that Wyatt A. Armfield may become the GOP nominee. Party chairman J. Herman Saxon expressed disappointment and urged an early decision from Armfield. Stickley, a former Democrat who recently switched to Republican, said business commitments prevent candidacy. He thanked supporters and criticized the party leadership. Saxon said Armfield has broad support among Democrats and others. Armfield, a Winston-Salem businessman and ex Democrat, would be available for the nomination and was en route to Florida.
