Chlorine Gas Forces Evacuations in South Charleston
In South Charleston West Virginia a chlorine gas leak from a FMC plant after tank rupture prompted mass evacuations of 500 to 5000 residents. Fire overwhelmed chemical buildings as police sealed off the city and residents sought higher ground while hospitals treated dozens with eye irritation coughing and vomiting. FMC reports locating and sealing the leak but urged residents not to return until an all clear was given. Atmospheric conditions hindered dispersion with little wind, allowing gas to hover near the ground.

Foreign Aid Faces Senate Cuts and Viet Nam Costs
Washington Senate committee refused to restore nearly 1 billion cut from the presidents foreign aid request and added 22.9 million in reductions amid ongoing hearings. The program faces long odds toward matching authorization and may fall well short of the original funding as critics call it a giveaway, with Viet Nam civilian costs offset by major defense spending. In New York City police reinforcements fought disturbances in the Lower East Side after a residents parade opposing Tactical Patrol Force units. About 250 TPF members cleared streets around Avenue C and Sixth Street, with six arrested and seven more for burglary amid no injuries reported. Earlier, two officers were struck by bottles in Brooklyn.
