Parks and Forests Set For Record Campers in Wisconsin
Wisconsin state parks and forests expect a record rush with about 200 000 visitors opening the outdoor season on Memorial Day and well over five million at state forests according to Donald Mackie state parks chief. The state has charged admission for three years and aims to match the peak 1961 total of 5 470 000 visitors. Devil's Lake leads in attendance with 1 200 000 last year followed by Peninsula State Park at 560 000. Plans include new group camping at Devil's Lake and double units to let two families camp together as leases on private cabins expire next year for parking and picnic space.

Washington Notebook highlights and figures from 1960s era policy
The Army offered 66913 to Mississippi for damages caused by federal troops after James Meredith enrolled in 1962, but the comptroller general rejected the claim. The university may pursue the matter in court. Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver says poverty could end in 10 years with Congress backing the anti poverty program. He noted it could aid 7 million U.S. families in year one. He brushed off GOP fears of him wielding too much power. U.S. casualties in South Vietnam total just over 1100 since 1961, with 131 killed, 867 wounded, nine missing. Government agencies, under Johnson pressure, plan further job cuts totaling 8 665 by year end.
