The plan must pass a second time before voters decide, and the debate split along party lines as to its impact on the charter draft.

Arabs Seek Diplomatic Route as Nasser Reassesses War
In Khartoum Arab leaders discuss a shift from military action to diplomacy. Egypt will not renew a fresh offensive to regain territory lost in the June war, focusing on eliminating Israeli aggression through diplomacy while not clearly ready to negotiate. The summit opened poorly with few heads of state present and Syria absent, as oil-rich states show reluctance to fund aid. In Milwaukee, a separate incident report notes police moving on demonstrators as Mayor declares a state of emergency after open housing marches.

Counties Could Rule Assessments In State Constitution
The proposed constitutional amendment would allow counties, with legislative authorization, to provide for assessment levy and collection of city town and village taxes through a county taxing authority. It could permit counties to loan or advance funds for unpaid taxes, a move opposed by many towns and supported by Albany officials as potential tax administration savings. Critics warn of local surrender of power and added county burden, with Republican officials noting hesitation if their control remains in effect.
