After two months delay, police charges that the Club operated without entertainment or victualer's licenses reached the Superior Court yesterday morning. But when police witnesses failed to appear, Judge Andrew Fairhurst announced he would dismiss the case for lack of prosecution...
...most original and challenging address given at the Assembly came from Lutheran Dr. Joseph Sittler, professor of theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Before he left for New Delhi, Sittler told a Chicago friend what he had in mind. Christians, he felt, were too much inclined to dismiss Communist ideology as "barren materialism."

Last month, the Congo's moderate Premier Cyrille Adoula asked the U.N. to enforce the resolution. O'Brien gave Tshombe until Sept. 9 to get rid of the Europeans...
