Two guilty pleas earned minimum fines of 10 dollars each for Charles Hasnedl and Ronald Lusk for unlawful assembly. Seventy eight pleaded not guilty and 20 received continuances. Bonds for 18 defendants were forfeited for no-shows as 6,000 people clashed amid a nearby attempt by a Negro family to move into the all white community. The Cook County grand jury indicted six people, none rioters, while a federal probe was ordered by Attorney General McGrath after civil liberties protests.

$57 Billion Defense Bill Advances for Medical and Air Force Funds
A conference committee ironed out nearly all disputes on a $57.2 billion Defense Department bill for the current year. Two lawmakers said the Pentagon failed to provide detailed spending plans for the extra air power funds, with a split of one third for Navy air arms and two thirds for the Air Force. The remaining issue concerns releasing World War II veterans after 12 months of service, which the Senate rejected but House conferees plan to put to a separate vote with expectation the Senate version will prevail.
