Reservists Freed From Draft Under Executive Order
Washington June 15 Reservists in the ready reserve are freed from the draft by executive order. The Defense Department has no immediate estimate of how many will be affected. The move follows long standing practice that reserve service substitutes for the draft, with modifications for six month trainees and extended eligibility up to age 26. Draft calls may be cut from about 1300 a month to 200–7000, easing selective service demands.

Negro Ministers Ride Bus in White Section Ignoring Laws
In Shreveport Louisiana on June 1 five Negro ministers read from Bibles as they rode in the white section of a city bus through a fashionable district. Police Chief Teasley, aware in advance, did not arrest them. He warned that other Negro riders attempting to use the white seats would be arrested. About 20 to 25 white bystanders crowded the aisles but no mass disruption occurred. A white woman briefly sat beside one minister before departing. The incident reflects ongoing segregation tensions in the Deep South.
