Paroled? Outlaw Bailey Denied Clemency In 1960s Case
White haired Harvey Bailey, once among the era’s most notorious outlaws, was refused executive clemency by Gov. John Anderson. The 78 year old inmate will spend at least four and a half more years in the Kansas Penitentiary after a parole denial tied to his 10-to-50 year Fort Scott bank robbery sentence and Urschel kidnapping convictions. He may seek parole again in December 1967.

Dairy Price Supports Seen Better Than Past Proposals
Purdue economist Don Paarlberg told about 200 Farm Bureau attendees from 35 states that current dairy price supports at 75 percent of parity are preferable to earlier ideas. He urged against strict controls, noting lasting changes come from farmers own actions such as higher livestock output and off farm income. Roger Fleming criticized Senator Eugene McCarthy's bill paying farmers to cut production as flawed policy.

Kennedy halts drafting of married men in US policy
President Kennedy ordered a halt to drafting married men until all single men in the 1925 age group are drafted. Military experts say enough single men exist to sustain strength, and only a major rise in demand would reinclude married men.
