Pentagon opposed to Kennedy defense reorganization plan
Washington AP The majority of current Pentagon leaders oppose the Symington group defense reorganization proposal for Kennedy era. They urge patience with the 1958 plan before another shakeup, arguing to avoid disrupting services. The plan would abolish Army Navy and Air Force departments and Joint Chiefs, leaving a single chairman to report to the secretary of defense. The Air Force has offered little public comment while Defense Secretary and senior military chiefs push back.

93 Children Return To Class At Frantz School
Twenty three white children attended classes at William Frantz School as police cleared a one block area to shield the protests. Meanwhile New Orleans legislators urged the Orleans Parish school board to resign amid a widening boycott. Rep Risley C Triche said school financing rests on the board stepping aside. Vandals daubed red paint on the former home of Rev. Lloyd Foreman, a rallying point for return-to-school moves. Police questioned many, with Supt. Giarrusso expecting arrests. The board sued four local banks to honor its checks as state funds were frozen to block payrolls and a legal battle with the legislature hindered a 12 million dollar loan. The clash over integration continued as authorities defended movement rights. See 23 CHILDREN Page 2-A.
