Two Milwaukee 14 protestors plead guilty to interference
Two clergymen from the Milwaukee 14 war protest group pleaded guilty to interference with the Selective Service system. Robert F. Cunnane, a Catholic priest from Stoughton Massachusetts, and Rev. Jon H. Higginbotham Jr., a Church of Scientology minister from St. Cloud Minnesota, entered pleas before U.S. District Judge Myron Gordon. Sentencing for the pair was deferred while jury selection continued for the remaining ten defendants and two related state prison terms were already imposed for arson in the draft record burnings last September.

Bodily Remains Law Sparks Debate and Duty to Will
The legislature passed a bill requiring a will to control the disposition of a deceased person’s body or parts. The author opposed the measure, arguing body remains should be treated as sacred and that default disposition should favor traditional burial unless one indicates otherwise. The debate centers on whether lack of a will forfeits personal wishes to institutions or the estate.
