Johnson surgery set
WASHINGTON—(UPI)President Johnson heads for his Texas ranch today to rest up for his second bout of surgery in 13 months, two operations for removal of a growth from his throat and repair of an abdominal hernia.
The 58-year-old Johnson is to undergo the surgery—described as not serious by his doctors—within 15 days, probably sometime during the week of Nov. 20 at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center.
JOHNSON'S THUNDERBOLT announcement to newsmen in the White House Cabinet room threw out the window any plans he might have had for a weekend pre-election campaign swing. There had been reports he had planned to appear in as many as a dozen states in behalf of Democratic candidates.
North Korea gets warning
PANMUNJOM—(UPI)—U.S. military officials warned Communist North Korea today it is on a collision course with free world forces. They said the United States would not be responsible for developments if North Korea continues to violate the military armistice.
North Korea itself added to the increasingly tense situation by charging that "scores" of American troops made three separate attacks across the DMZ yesterday. The charges appeared to be a propaganda buildup for some sort of North Korean action to take U.S. pressure off North Viet Nam.
Snowstorm clobbers U.S.
(UPI)—One of history's worst autumn snowstorms swept into Canada today after clobbering whole states in the Midwest, South and Northeast with death and misery.
The snow, drifting in some places to depths of five feet and lying 22 inches deep in others, stranded thousands of travelers and caused widespread power failures.
AT LEAST 23 PERSONS died in the storm—most in accidents on ice- and snow-covered highways. A United Press International count showed 11 deaths in Ohio, 4 in Michigan, 3 in Pennsylvania, 2 each in Indiana and Alabama and 1 in Kentucky.
