Flood Projects Would Have Reduced Flood Damage
A federal official estimated mid-May floods caused $5 million in damages, $3 million in Missouri and $2 million in the Marais des Cygnes Osage basins, could have been limited to about $2 million if Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir and other authorized basins were completed. Col. A P Rollins Jr noted current Ottawa works reduced flood by three feet and the Pomme de Terre Reservoir limited inflow to one-eighth of the crest.

Heavy Guard Is Provided In Alabama
Eleven freedom riders white and Negro broke the racial bar in a bus station lunchroom then, under heavy military guard, left for New Orleans in a continued assault on Southern segregation. Four hours later a second group left in another bus bound for Jackson, Mississippi. National Guardsmen with fixed bayonets and state police sealed off the block around the Trailways station in Montgomery to prevent violence and armed guards patrolled along the route to the state line. A large security cordon, including 75 guardsmen and 100 highway patrolmen trained in mob control, safeguarded the trip and similar precautions were under way in Mississippi. The first bus skirted Selma without stopping. no incidents reported as it crossed into Mississippi. Negro riders, attempting to eat at a lunch counter reserved for whites, faced resistance from the manager who said no Negro had eaten there before. Civilian police and National Guardsmen, under martial law since the weekend riot at a Negro church, maintained tight security at the station and along the route. The bus left amid warnings it could be a dangerous trip. a segregationist spokesman said recruitment of supporters continues.
