The Amish, Mennonites, Quakers, and the Church of the Brethren warn congress that a proposed conscientious objector law would push their sons into prison. The House Armed Services Committee aims to extend and revise the draft law, with Rivers seeking language to ease fears. The plan would require all conscientious objectors to first be inducted into service, with non–combatant duties for those who accept military authority.

Nations rally to back Thant more Middle East peace
Dennis the Menace creator Hank Ketcham notes nations including the Soviet Union United Kingdom and France coordinating to restore peace in the Near East. Soviet ambassador Fedorenko suggests the United States and Britain withdraw fleets as a first step while a 15 nation council weighs a Danish Canadian proposal to back Thant and urge restraint.
