Jackson jurist Judge Cox faces questions on race cases
U S District Judge Harold Cox in Mississippi says press reports misrepresent his stance on race and the Justice Department. He notes he has followed DOJ orders, dismissed a felony indictment tied to the 1964 slayings as a state crime, and stresses oath weight and independence without fitting a legal school. He is 64 and described as ruggedly individualistic and hardworking.

Kosygin talk seen not shifting Vietnam policy
Washington viewed Kosygin's speech as not altering U.S. Vietnam strategy. Johnson moves to boost South Vietnamese forces by about 100,000 troops and advisers, while Lodge shifts to study the Vietnamese situation. Kosygin’s calls for U.S. troop withdrawal are dismissed as Soviet propaganda with no evident Moscow military moves backing them. Sino-Soviet tensions deepen as Beijing criticizes Moscow and hints at a rival Communist meeting next week.
