The loss was insured and investigators questioned about a dozen track staff.

Clouds Hold Down Loss In Valley
A cloud cover in the Lower Rio Grande Valley lessened frost damage to vegetables and citrus while a new cold snap kept sub freezing temperatures in many areas.

The plan would reduce taxes in three stages from 1963 to 1965 with about $11 billion to individuals and the rest to corporations. Critics warn of deficits unless offset by spending cuts.
