Reuss slams reservist callup in Wisconsin 32nd Division
Rep. Henry Reuss charges injustice in the callup of about 1,600 Wisconsin reservists with the Red Arrow unit. He argues the Army could have drawn from a national pool of 616,000 ready reservists and accuses the Defense Department of discrimination and unit integrity bias. He urges fair allocation of filling quotas to all states and to use state reservists when a division stays in its state.

Rockefeller Hope Fades as Smoke Signals Michael Rockefeller Case
The search for Michael Rockefeller in southwest New Guinea received a fresh jolt when smoke seen by an Australian air force plane indicated burning brush near the area where he vanished eight days earlier. Helicopters will extend the search through Tuesday night as ground parties continue along the crocodile-infested jungle coast for at least two more weeks. Governor Nelson Rockefeller and sister Mary Patrick Strawbridge prepare to depart for the United States, while Dutch officials hold on to a cautious note that natives may shelter the missing explorer until recovery.

Funeral service at the New Hampshire state house at noon Wednesday is planned for Sen Styles Bridges 63 senior Republican member of the Senate who died Sunday. Bridges death is not likely to alter the Senate party balance but a liberal conservative struggle to choose a successor appears possible.
