Maps Speed Up Plans for New Lake in Upper Colorado River
Colorado Municipal Water District receives topographic maps from the US Geological Survey to aid planning for a second lake on the upper Colorado River. The maps help compute drainage yields and identify dam sites. The district holds a state permit to impound a second lake, potentially in extreme south Mitchell County, if saltwater pollution is controlled. Dec 2, 1962 is the deadline for oilfield brine disposal compliance in local pits. The district considers low water channel dams to intercept flows and manage polluted water while floodwaters would be of good quality.

Police hunted a band of Secret Army Organization killers after gunfire sent debris flying as President Charles de Gaulle's motorcade passed through outskirts of Paris.

The attack, tied to Algerian independence militant groups, prompted security tightening and a push for bullet-proof glass on De Gaulle’s vehicles.
