Bede Aircraft Says No Plant Decision Yet
James R. Bede president of Bede Aircraft told The Kansan no decision has been made on a Wichita plant for production models. He noted conflicting reports from other papers and said a Detroit Creative Industries contract would mean the plant is likely here, while an Aeronca contract would still favor a plant here. The facility would employ 400 to 480 workers.

In Jefferson County, armed National Guard Troops and police rode nearly empty school buses upon reopening after four days of violent protests. Attendance dropped at several schools, with white students in the south riding mostly empty buses while black students’ buses ran near full. Supt Grayson cited gas shortages driver absences and threats to drivers as causes, with 95 buses not running. U S District Judge James F Gordon ordered guards to ride the buses after protests left about 200 injured and 500 arrested. Todd Hollenbach said restraint is abandoned amid blame on outside groups and disorder supporters.
