Jets Ordered To Shoot Down Suspected Aircraft Over Mediterranean

The plane eluded capture as naval units tracked it, while another incident involved Lake Champlain connecting with an unidentified submarine during Deepwater exercise.

President Eisenhower indirectly accuses Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus of encouraging extremist mobs to defy federal court orders. He warns such actions would equal acquiescence in anarchy and threaten the Union, as federal troops were used to restore order after Central High School integration protests.
