The French National Assembly voted 319 to 264 to indefinitely postpone debate on the six-nation European Defense Community Treaty.

School Day Shortened For Elementary Pupils in County
HAGERSTOWN 12 School Day shortened to a half day for 500 to 600 elementary students in Washington County this fall. School Supt. William M. Brish cited rising enrollments outpacing construction. County enrollment expected just over 16 000, up about 2 000 in three years. Some schools will operate half days due to overcrowding at Clear Spring Halfway and one in Hagerstown. High school students will still attend full days by using nontraditional spaces, with three new buildings due next year to relieve the strain.
