About 300 from seven eastern Kansas counties urged the State Highway Commission to improve U S 69 and keep its interstate designation bid. Kansas U S 69 Association president F W Brinkerhoff said withdrawing the interstate application would endanger the highway, while officials argued for continued designation and funding. The delegation from Wyandotte, Johnson, Miami, Linn, Bourbon, Crawford and Cherokee counties pressed for early improvements and for not discarding the interstate plan. Governor George Docking noted multiple routing proposals and stressed building a solid area highway system without politics.

Ratner Hoffa tieup links Rep Wint Smith
Former Kansas governor Payne Ratner testified to the Senate Rackets Committee that he pressed Rep Wint Smith to keep Hoffa on the 1953 congressional investigation track but denied steering the inquiry. He acknowledged letters showing friction over contempt citations and described meetings with Smith while denying hiring the Teamsters to influence the hearings. Ratner referenced a 1954 memo about a plan to arrange a special conference at Leavenworth but said he did not recall it and would have charged a large fee if it occurred. Ratner also described a luncheon with Smith and said Smith refused to sign a contempt citation against Hoffa. In United Nations coverage Eisenhower proposed a six point Middle East peace plan, including a standby UN peace force and economic development loans, while warning of dangers from aggressive leadership and Soviet tactics.
