Court drops charges on social worker Joyce Howe
Judge Robert L. Bostick dismissed charges against Mrs. Joyce Howe yesterday and said he would hear similar contempt citations against Jim McFeeley and Qwen Marrin next Tuesday at 1 a.m. The three were among six labor strikers cited by fair board officials for contempt of a temporary restraining order issued two weeks earlier by Judge Robert Barber. The citations were served only on Howe Marrin and McFeeley as the other three could not be located. The judge ruled the service on the three was legal.

Former Federal Judge Carswell Indicted in Clash Case
Former federal Judge G Harrold Carswell a 1970 Nixon nominee to the Supreme Court is indicted on charges alleging he made a homosexual advance toward a vice squad policeman. The report adds that earnings of U S oil producers were underestimated by about eight million dollars monthly prompting a federal order for a two month freeze on rising domestic crude prices. The Postal Rate Commission favors keeping the 13 cent rate with a possible rise to 17 cents later this year or early 1977. A note about Smokey Bear hints the Bicentennial mood may not improve the forests or streams amid the recession’s end.
