Bomb fragments found from crashed B 52 near Greenland
Fragments from all four nuclear bombs carried by a B52 that crashed on Arctic ice near Thule airbase in Greenland have been found and identified by serial numbers. Officials say the bombs did not sink below 700 feet of ice and it remains unclear if any radioactivity leaked. Meanwhile in Cleveland three federal judges hear Ohio redistricting proposals for the 1968 election as they review both the Republican Rhodes plan and a Democratic alternative.
