Harris Court Backs Freeway Plan Linking Sylvan Beach
Harris County commissioners tentatively approve a freeway system linking Sylvan Beach park with the Gulf Freeway and Baytown with Humble country club. Humble Oil and Farrington offer 250 foot right of way for Fairmont Parkway if the county, with state aid, builds the highway including rerouting Highway 146 and paving Underwood and Red Bluff roads. Plans call for looping the Outer Belt to intersect Palmer Parkway and Spencer Highway with new bridges over the Houston Ship Channel, subject to voter approval in September.

Ben declines to name Klan suspects in Texas probe
Austin Attorney General John Ben Shepperd said he will not name individuals in the planned investigation of alleged Ku Klux Klan activity across 22 East Texas counties. State Senator Jimmy Phillips demanded the list, accusing Shepperd of reckless charges and calling for the names and counties involved to be released for prosecutors and grand juries when evidence exists. Phillips argued FBI and state prosecutors found no substantiation, and warned against unfairly labeling East Texans or suppressing groups formed after the Supreme Court ruling on school segregation.
