XB70 Maiden Flight Opens Supersonic Era for Jets
Palm Springs era test flight of the XB70 six-jet Air Force plane begins a new age in aviation. The delta-wing craft roared skyward from Palmdale at 8:39 a.m. PDT and headed to Edwards Air Force Base over the Mojave Desert for a short inaugural mission. Pilot Al White and Co pilot Joe Cotton aimed to exceed sound speed and climb toward half its planned altitude as engineers test the radical design. The project cost about 1.5 billion dollars and aims to enable Los Angeles to New York travel in about 90 minutes with triple sonic capability.

Johnson targets unions in campaign swing this week
President Johnson plans a heavy labor oriented tour to win support for his economic and welfare programs. He spoke in Morgantown West Virginia urging compassion for the helpless and opportunity for all and will address United Steel Workers in Atlantic City and the International Union of Electrical Workers in Washington. He may also beam remarks to several other union locals and later meet the Mexican president at the Chamizal ceremony in El Paso. Johnson argued anti poverty programs strengthen initiative, oppose Goldwater’s free enterprise approach, and vow to build a place for every citizen in America.
