Army Eyes Global Atomic Missile and Advanced Rockets
The army told Congress it may develop an atomic missile able to strike any region within an hour and pursue long range ground to ground missiles. Col. S B Ritchie described counter measures and a plan with RCA and GE to study and build advanced rockets controlled by robot guidance systems. Major Gen. Hughes noted molten metal weapons and metallic jets could replace dogfights. Brigham Young's death in 1877 is noted with family survivors.

Woman School Bus Driver 66 Retires After 37 Years
Bastrop June 22 Special Twenty seven years of service by Mrs E C McIntyre 66 ends after nearly four decades in Morehouse parish schools. She began in 190 carrying children by horse and wagon from Upland five miles to the school rising at 5 am daily to cover 25 miles in all weather. The switch to a bus came when the board extended to Collins and she kept driving. Later age concerns led to hiring a male driver Louis Palm leaving Mrs McIntyre as back seat driver.
