School Case Postponed by Dist Court
The Crawfordsville desegregation hearing in Little Rock was postponed due to U.S. District Judge Gordon E. Young’s illness. He was hospitalized for a bleeding ulcer and is expected to remain for about two weeks as the Justice Department presses for a court order to consolidate the district’s two schools. The board argues freedom of choice is the only feasible plan, claiming white patrons would withdraw if their children attend a predominantly Black school.

Griffin Late Night Debut Anchors CBS Battle For Viewers
Merv Griffin moved his late night program to CBS in a low key but polished debut. Guests included Woody Allen Mats Mabley Leslie Uggams Hedy Lamarr and Theodore Sorenson with Allen aiming at his new film. The ornate set contrasts with modest audience buzz as Griffin’s show plugs industry products and CBS strategy. A golf tournament at Hope Country Club on August 17 produced multiple prize winners and a tie for third after a sudden death playoff.
