Lab Blast Injures Students at Bakersfield College
Eleven students were hospitalized after a chemical explosion in a Bakersfield College summer school science lab. Two were in critical condition as glass splinters filled the room and a fog from chemicals clouded visibility. A youth, William J. Fox, 19, of Ridgecrest, allegedly triggered the incident by mixing noncompatible identicals. Fox was in critical condition with burns and loss of a hand, while two others, including Joseph Hibbs of China Lake, remained in critical condition at Mercy and Bakersfield Memorial Hospitals.

Defense Spending Down Under McNamara Plan
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara announced that fiscal 1965 defense outlays fell to 47.5 billion, a drop of 3.75 billion from forecasts. He credited the cost reduction program with saving 4.6 billion last year, aiming for 6.1 billion annually by 1969, while preserving military strength. The plan includes buying only needed items, seeking low prices, and reducing operating costs through consolidation. The base-closing effort saved 483 million in 1965.
