Mission Revives Failing St George's Church in Louisville
In Louisville's West End the 1912 St George's Episcopal Church dwindled from 230 members to 60 as whites fled to suburbs. In 1964 a vandalism incident sparked the Urban Mission Council to revive the church. Now a Boys Club and community programs fill the space, with 60 members and an active choral group. Rev Ta tchau serves as fulltime minister, funded by a national church drive.

Laos Weighs Deeper Involvement In Vietnam War
Laos stands at a crossroads as the Vietnam War drags on. Geography binds Laos to North and South Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh trail, with U S air raids slowing but not stopping the flow of supplies. Premier Souvanna Phouma leverages the conflict to advance development while trying to keep Laos neutral amid Pathet Lao and rightist clashes. Kong Le, neutralist and U S ally, commands 11 000 troops and pursues limited intervention as internal factions jostle for power.
