Houston aims to retain protective custody over 1100 square miles annexed in 1960 and plans for formal annexation of any portion only in the long term. A court order validated the ordinance allowing Houston to influence growth of Harris County municipalities. The 1960 measure, settled with Pasadena, blocks land grabs by other cities and restricts new incorporations unless Houston agrees, with no tax grabs and annexation tied to development and service extension.

Two More High Tests Indicated Above Johnston Island
AP reports indications the United States will launch two additional high altitude nuclear detonations above Johnston Island, though not as powerful as Monday's blast. The Atomic Energy Commission aims to conclude the Pacific test series, with one shot in the megaton range and two under 1 million tons of TNT, one potentially higher than Monday's explosion. In Nevada a delayed above ground test was postponed again while a shallow below ground shot remains planned to form a surface crater. Friday’s blast cut a 1,400 foot diameter hole to study harbors and canals reduction by explosive removal.
