The roads through the center where the giant moon rocket is test-fired were cleared and there was little sign of major damage until the route began to run parallel to U.S. 90 on the outsorts of Clermont Harbor, a posh subdivision near Waveland.
All along the highway the scene was too real. Motels had been blown apart. Tourist shops that once displayed clay birds and other wares were reduced to piles of rock. House trailers were overturned, homes wrecked at every glance.
MORE TROOPERS were stationed about eight miles before the approach, to the Bay St. Louis toll bridge, the route to Pass Christian.

Selden, holding a news conference, said he is opposed to freedom of choice desegregation plans because “they run counter to race mixing. Freedom of choice results in one kind of school for the well-to-do and another type for lower and middle classes.”
He said the racial imbalance is a matter of politics in Louisiana and the South.
“I think it is time for the people in Louisiana to tell these politicians they are sick and tired of it. Instead of harping on this one string, politicians should get around to other issues,” Selden said.
