Army ran LSD tests on soldiers at Ft Bragg in 1957
Retired Maj. Gen. Lloyd Fellenz says 10 to 15 volunteers at Ft Bragg were given LSD as part of a bid to create an incapacitating chemical weapon. He noted no adverse effects, emphasized lack of a usable weapon, and noted records losses hinder documentation while linking broader CIA-linked inquiries to the Olson case at Ft. Detrick.

Surf City Acting Chief Resigns Post
Surf City acting police chief Richard Slater has resigned amid ongoing controversy in the department. Town officials offered no explanation, while a special town council meeting briefly reinstated officer David J. Mikel, whose suspension followed his arrest of the mayor's son on drug charges. The mayor, D E Medlin, denies any link between the arrest and Mikel's suspension. Mikel's suspension notice cited complaints, appearance, and safety threats. Former chief John Elliott remains among officers fired amid disputes with the council, and he has sued for reinstatement and back pay.
