Space launches loom as Warsaw congress nears
Washington reports strong indications the Soviet Union may launch a major space spectacular just before or during the astronautics congress in Warsaw September 7 to 12. Dr. De Stark of the International Academy of Astronauties cites a British source as saying the Russians will come out with something spectacular, though officials refuse to speculate on specifics. Meanwhile, political notes in Washington include criticism of President Johnson's wealth estimates by Dean Burch and a Senate battle over reapportionment led by Everett Dirksen, with a House bill stripping federal courts of jurisdiction in reapportionment cases advancing. Firefighters return home to Elko after taming Nevada’s worst range fires, leaving behind 350,000 acres charred and cattle fences burned. In Oklahoma City, a Cornell scientist reports a new birth control drug successfully tested on 25 inmates at the state penitentiary, rendering them infertile for at least four months.

Few Businesses Becoming Private To Avoid Negroes
An Associated Press survey finds only a small share of Southern businesses converting to private clubs to dodge integration after the civil rights law. Instances include restaurants and one hotel adopting restricted memberships. Mississippi issued 13 private club charters since Johnson signed the act. In Arkansas the capital cafeteria in Little Rock incorporated as a private club shortly after the law, with an aide to Gov Faubus as president. Alabama saw about six switches. Negro leaders labeled desegregation targets. Negroes have sued private clubs in Texas.
