Gorton rules out Vietnam troop rise without change
Canberra prime minister John Gorton signals no expansion of Australian Vietnam forces unless the situation changes. He asserts Australia has pushed its effort as a nation of 12 million with other needs to meet. Within Seoul, North Korean agents killed eight South Koreans in a rare inside-city attack, marking the first postwar raid of its kind in the capital. In Sasebo, hundreds of Japanese students attacked with clubs and stones to protest the nuclear carrier Enterprise and frigate Tuxton, challenging the U S presence.

More Quake Misery in Sicily After Western Earthquake
Thousands of survivors from the Sicilian quake are evacuated from refugee tents to solid buildings as rain, wind, and cold worsen conditions. Reports cite 40,000 still housed in mud and filth with outbreaks of scarlet fever, pneumonia, and chicken pox prompting mass relocation to edge cities. A separate note records a large quake detected by UC seismographs, initially thought near New Zealand but later placed in Sicily, about 6.75 on the Richter scale.

The former Ford's Theater in Washington reopened as a national shrine to Abraham Lincoln. About 500 guests attended a dedication led by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and senators Charles Percy Milton Young.
