Governor John W. Reynolds said he was shocked by the college regents actions that replaced Robert De Zonia with Jim Dan Hill as co director of the Coordinating Committee for Higher Education and shifted staff without consult. Regents named Karl W. Meyer to succeed Hill at Superior, prompting Reynolds to threaten withholding funds under a new federal construction program.

Paris Decision For Recognition Brings Assurance
Washington seeks to cushion the impact of France recognizing Communist China by stressing that U S policy in the Far East remains unchanged. Secretary of State Rusk plans private talks with Japanese and Korean leaders and will reaffirm support for nationalizing postwar states against subversion while honoring treaty ties to Nationalist China. Paris actions could influence UN votes, but officials hope Francophone Africa won’t follow Paris. De Gaulle reportedly says Africa should not mirror France. Chiang Kai-shek may not heed counsel to break with Paris.
