FBI to Admit Short People to Agent Ranks
The FBI will drop its 5 foot 7 inch minimum height rule for special agents. Director Clarence M. Kelley says height will not disqualify applicants who meet education, experience and general fitness standards, though height may still influence overall physical ability. Two women have challenged the rule in court, but the change could moot the suit.

Drapers to Transfer to Mexico City Salvation Army Training
After three and a half years serving Thomasville, Salvation Army Captains Ronald and Ruth Draper depart June 29 for a three year officer training tour in Mexico City. They will be assistant training officers at the School for Officer Training teaching English and various duties while living in a small three room apartment in a Spanish district. They expect to earn 152 pesos weekly, a large cut from their Thomasville salary, and will also work in prisons and children's homes as they adjust to Mexican life. They praise local support and acknowledge the lower Mexican economy and the need for funds to sustain their mission.
