UNITED STATES-CANADA PACTS:
Prime Minister Lester Pearson of Canada and President Lyndon Johnson preside as two agreements are reached between the North American neighbors.

Queen Frederika of Greece arrives in the U.S., on a 17-day unofficial visit. She receives an honorary degree from Columbia University.

The Attorney-General pauses in Korea on his trouble-shooting trip to end tensions among Indonesia, the Philippines and the new Malaysian federation. His efforts appear to be successful.

BALLOON RACE ENDS IN TRAGEDY:
A 42-year-old grandmother flies to her death in a balloon race from Catalina Island to the mainland. The hot-air craft are buffeted by high winds and only one entrant reaches the mainland. The body of Mrs. Barbara Keith is found miles off course - two days after the race.
ANCIENT ART SAVED:
