Supreme Court Lets Stand Nixon Cambodian Bombing Ruling
The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal challenging President Nixon's 1973 bombing of Cambodia, keeping intact a 2nd Circuit ruling that the action was constitutional. The case involved Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman and four Air Force officers who claimed Nixon acted illegally, with lower courts generally deeming the war powers within constitutional bounds.

Veteran finally receives World War I medal
77 year old Ernest A. Sheer will receive the Silver Star for heroism on April 18, 1918 in France after a long lapse in records. He captured a German machine gun nest and 47 enemy soldiers, earning the Croix De Guerre with a palm, and later the Purple Heart. A 56 year delay sidelined the DSC, which was confirmed after a Rock Island effort led by Mrs. Shirley Barrett. The medal will be presented at the Rock Island Arsenal.
