Mysterious Dwayyo Report Sets Frederick County Abuzz
Frederick County residents report a six foot tall creature with doglike feet and a bushy tail dubbed a Dwayyo. John Becker claims a back yard attack near Fern Rock Road, though police doubt the creature exists and warn hunters to avoid false alarms. Local Sgt Clyde B Tucker records the incident while noting no known Dwayyo sighting or Fern Rock Road. The oddly humorous tale ends with a quip about Russians claiming ownership if such an animal exists.

McNamara vows more troops as war continues in Vietnam
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara said in Saigon that the United States will deploy as many fighting men as needed to wage the war, claiming the U.S. has stopped losing. He noted Hanoi escalates attacks and that South Vietnam will boost its military strength, amid a major Viet Cong and North Vietnamese setback near Saigon. He did not specify force totals but suggested increasing ground forces from 165,000 toward 300,000 and expanding air operations. He visited the Ia Drang battle area and praised the U S 1st Cavalry Division, predicting more air cavalry divisions will form.
