Kidnappers Free Kenneth Young After Ransom Payment
Hundreds of police and FBI agents hunted the Los Angeles area for Kenneth Young’s captors after his $250000 ransom payment. The 11 year old financier’s son was released unharmed eight hours after his father Herbert Young handed the money to one kidnapper in a car. The affair involved two men, with the boy held in a Santa Monica apartment garage and warned not to alert authorities. Authorities noted the ransom was paid in $100 bills with serial numbers tracked nationwide. Kenneth’s release followed a threatening quiet period as police staged a nationwide investigation.

Federal Reserve Cuts Discount Rate to Four Percent
The Federal Reserve Board lowered its discount rate from 4.5 percent to 4 percent, a move aimed at easing money to spur growth. Analysts note consumer loan rates may not drop immediately, as banks still set rates for home, auto, and personal loans. Officials say the cut aligns with market declines and maintains credit availability for orderly growth. The move fuels the debate over President Johnson’s proposed 6 percent income tax surcharge, with critics arguing it could slow the economy further.
