Whitehurst seeks county wide phone rates in Okaloosa
Crestview Mayor George H. Whitehurst aims to win support from Fort Walton Beach and other Okaloosa towns for a resolution to Southeastern Telephone Co asking abolition of long distance charges within the county. A study last year found traffic volume did not justify such rates. Whitehurst believes county wide dialing would aid business and attract new industry while he reviews Southeastern's Crestview franchise duration.

Enterprise Heads Toward Sea Of Japan After Pueblo Seizure

Four Americans were wounded, one critically, as North Korean patrol boats boarded the Pueblo near Wonsan. Commander Bucher reportedly asked for help only after the boarding. The incident prompted U.S. diplomacy via the Soviet Union to demand Pueblo’s release.

Fiscal Experts Call Removal Of Gold Reserve Backing
Washington AP The nations top fiscal officials urged Congress to end the gold reserve requirement backing the dollar arguing the gold should be freed to support U.S international commitments. They pledged safeguards against a gold run while insisting dollar value would not change and such removal is inevitable. Johnson previously urged removal, with Treasury and Fed leaders testifying to reassure lawmakers. The officials explained the money system christened by gold reserves no longer controls the value, which rests on the economy’s strength. The United States holds about 12 billion in gold stocks with 10.7 billion backing Federal Reserve notes.
