Reports floated a possible $40 million yearly arms aid to increase the Vietnamese army by about 20,000 men. Johnson met Diem for three hours and then addressed the National Assembly confirming U.S. backing to share defense burdens.

Ruling Sought on Feed Handling in Donkey Co Case
District Attorney Joseph D. Viney sought an attorney general ruling on state statutes after examining Donkey Co feed deliveries to Green County hospital. He noted in 1960 Donkey sold about 8500 dollars of feed to the hospital with carrot shipments to supervisor T Roy Evenson who earned two dollars a ton via Monroe Chickeries. Viney said Evenson cannot legally participate in municipal sales over 1000 dollars and will wait for the state opinion before action.
