Becket County voters faced an unusually heavy early turnout in Raleigh County as older residents led marches to polling places to oppose the liquor by the drink amendment. Precinct reports show mixed early activity with several stations noting heavy or very good turnout, while others reported slower noon counts. A 60 foot no trespassing safety zone for electioneering was missing at Beckley precincts, and procedural violations were noted including a voter handing a ballot directly to a precinct official.

India retreats from frontier post opens Kashmir to China risk
India withdraws from Daulet Beg Oldi to stronger defenses, raising concern among military experts that the move could allow Chinese forces from Sinkiang to gain an all weather route into Baltistan and Hunza. Nehru’s earlier rejection of a joint defense pact with Pakistan is seen as advantageous to Peiping amid the Kashmir dispute.
