CORE Expels Mount Vernon Chapter After Row
The Congress of Racial Equality ousted its Mount Vernon chapter after a heated exchange in which an officer said Hitler “didn't kill enough” Jews. The remark prompted criticism, caused financial decline, and led national director Floyd McKissick to order interim chair Jackie McLeod to stop using the CORE name and for the chapter to be investigated.

Two Churches in High Point Offer Unusual Kindergarten Program
In High Point this year TWO CHURCHES joined to provide a unique Kindergarten program for local children. One church funded and led the initiative while the other supplied the facilities, with details in the Sunday Enterprise. A Vietnam War portrait in the Sunday Enterprise highlights small unit actions and the personal costs of war, while a Surveyor rocket aims for a soft lunar landing next week to relay data for the manned moon mission.
