Civil rights march begins at pool protest in West Virginia
Chris Thorne, an NAACP member and former candidate, starts a 252 mile weekend protest at Rock Lake Swimming Pool in South Charleston. He walks from the property line to the ticket window 100 times daily seeking admission and challenging pool segregation while denying claims it is private.

Wylie Seeks New Trial in Gazette Libel Case
Charleston dispatch reports Dr. Ward Wylie of Mullens petitioned the West Virginia State Supreme Court for a new trial in his libel suit against the Charleston Gazette. He contends the Wyoming County verdict was contrary to law and evidence after two hung juries, a majority verdict favoring the Gazette, and alleged trial errors. Wylie, ex state senator and Milan Pharmaceuticals founder, claims the August 1964 editorial defamed his medical reputation and accuses the lower court of irregularities in malice instructions and evidence admission. He seeks an appeal, verdict set aside, and remand for new trial.
