Minnesota's Humphrey, leading contender for the title of old-style New Dealer, loosed a blizzard of proposals for new alphabet agencies into the Senate hopper. Sample: a CCC-style Youth Conservation Corps. But in an era of budget-balancing conservatism, he looked like a Democratic dinosaur. Busy touring the country on his half-announced candidacy, Humphrey did not find time to carry out the one important legislative assignment that he got from Johnson: writing a completely new Democratic farm program and fighting it through Congress. Half-time prospects: dim and fading...
...action, ordering all available police to duty, posting guards at homes of city officials and school board members, enlisting the aid of the Little Rock FBI office in a sleepless, round-the-clock hunt for the dynamiters. In three days he had rounded up five suspects: Building Supply Dealer E. A. Lauderdale Sr., 48, twice-defeated candidate for the City Manager Board and a leader of the segregationist Capital Citizens Council; Truck Driver J. D. Sims, 35, who admitted to an Arkansas Gazette reporter that he had placed three sticks of dynamite under Fire Chief Nalley...

In a 4-1 opinion, CAB declared Odium violated Sherman Antitrust Act, but said illegal action was "outweighed by public interest...
...Hague Municipal Museum last week sat two Olmec ambassadors, lifesize, in clay. The largest Olmec ceramics yet found, they had been apparently smuggled out of Mexico and later bought by Los Angeles' Oscar Mayer, a freewheeling dealer in antiquities. Mayer insured the pieces for $75,000; historically they are priceless-two splendid clues in a search back through the dark abyss of time. The sculptures have already caused great excitement in Paris, where Andre Malraux among others identified them as definitely "Olmequisant." Next week they will move on to Berlin's Akademie der Künste...
