Bombers May Hit Enemy Even Without Order From President
Democrats claim they are shy four or five votes from passage on a proposed individual income tax cut. Sen. Smathers says the issue has 100 percent backing from the Senate Democratic Policy Committee but expects Byrd Robertson George and Holland to oppose. Johnson will offer a substitute plan aimed at $20 for low brackets plus $10 per dependent, with revenue restored by repealing parts of the 1954 law. House support exists for a $20 all‑round cut. Knowland forecasts GOP unity against the substitute. The outcome hinges on absentee votes and party alignment.

Laurel Man Killed in Car Wreck East of Laurel
A Laurel man was killed and another seriously injured when their car skidded into a bridge abutment over an irrigation ditch three miles east of Laurel early Sunday. Driver Donald Le Roy Erickson, 21, died almost instantly. Harry V. Gilbert, 22, is in serious condition at a Billings hospital. Patrolmen speculate sleepiness aided the crash as they found the car veered from the lane and struck the abutment. This marked the 34th highway death in Montana that year, up from 29 a year earlier.
