A Belgian army C119 transport plane taking part in a NATO exercise crashed into a hillside today. Police said 38 of 47 paratroopers and crew aboard were killed. In Washington, Attorney General Kennedy urged Civil Rights acts to curb racial problems in courts rather than provoke street violence. President Kennedy’s brother opened the Battle on Capitol Hill for a seven point program but faces a likely Southern Democratic filibuster. Kentucky Governor Combs issued an executive order directing state agencies to curb discrimination, giving agencies authority to revoke licenses of biased businesses.
