A Kanawha Circuit judge issued a restraining order in Charleston that bars both civil rights demonstrators and Rock Lake Pool owners from actions that would disrupt lawful protest while allowing peaceful demonstrations. The order stops intimidation and threats by the pool owners against demonstrators and keeps access for protestors who do not block others entering or leaving. The case centers on a pool that excludes Negroes and invites ongoing dispute over civil rights demonstrations at South Charleston's Rock Lake Swimming Pool.

The 140-foot radio telescope at Green Bank has yielded its first results with two astronomers detecting radio emissions from excited hydrogen gas in the Milky Way. The emission, once proposed by a Soviet astronomer in 1959, is now confirmed as the third known emission in the radio spectrum. The finding, confirmed by Dr. Bertil Hoglund and Dr. Pete Mezger, highlights the telescope as one of the world’s finest and follows similar detections in Orion and other regions.

Melpar Doubts Bid For Beckley Job Corps Center
Melpar Inc officials in Falls Church say no proposal was submitted to the Office of Economic Opportunity for a Job Corps Center in Beckley. Earlier, Melpar cited a Beckley plan with Beckley College as sub-contractor, but the firm now questions whether any bid exists while noting it has not abandoned the idea. OEO denies discussions with Melpar about the center. Beckley College says Melpar toured facilities in June and may submit a full proposal later, with site decisions up to OEO. The hotel used for resident facilities remains uncertain, forcing to reschedule several conventions in the area.
