Change In Voter Forms Defeated In Louisiana House
In Baton Rouge the Louisiana House defeated a bill by Rep. Maurice Landrieu to simplify the voter registration board, a move tied to desegregation fights. The 52 to 49 vote drew sharp exchanges with Rep. Salvadore Anzelmo urging voting rights as a state guarantee and Rep. John Garrett arguing voting is a privilege. Administration leaders Munson Womack Ordeneaux joined opponents, while Segregationists backed the bill amid fears of federal registration and political ramifications.

Likely To Extend U N Peace Force
The Security Council may vote to extend the U N peace force until the end of September. A five nation resolution to continue the 6400 man force for three more months appears assured, with no opposition seen by Council President Arsene Assouan Asher. The present mandate expires June 27 and the vote also urges Cypriot factions to end fighting. In Cyprus near Ayios Theodhoros, a Turkish Cypriot was killed and several Greek and Turkish Cypriots were wounded in six hours of sporadic firing. Swedish U N patrols reinforced to arrange a cease fire.
