FBI Reluctant to Join New Strike Force Against Crime
The FBI has refused full participation in the Justice Department strike force plan to combat organized crime. Attorney General Ramsey Clark announced the concept, based on a Buffalo success with 14 indictments for 31 defendants, aiming for multi-agency drives over 18 to 24 months. FBI officials worry about autonomy, lasting impact, and differing prosecutorial roles.

Wallace Winds Up Ohio Tour
Former Gov. George C. Wallace closed his six city Ohio tour with a push to win a place on the 1968 presidential ballot. He avoided a firm candidacy pledge, citing potential party platforms on local control over schools and housing. Police escorted a dozen protesters at Emery Auditorium amid heckling and arrests. Leonard Ball, 40, SNCC organizer, faced disorderly conduct charges. Wallace condemned “pseudo intellectuals” and urged action against student recruiters on campus.
