Hoffa Appeal Turned Down by U.S. Court of Appeals
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago upheld James R. Hoffa's 1963 mail and wire fraud conviction, denying his third appeal. The three-judge panel ruled wiretap information did not affect the conviction, affirming the district court remand findings. Hoffa, 57, faced 27 counts of mail and wire fraud and one conspiracy count, with a 1969 five year sentence and total prison terms of 13 years for related fraud and jury tampering cases.

Huey Newton Freed on Fifty Thousand Dollar Bail
Huey P. Newton, freed on 50 000 cash bail after two years in prison, saluted supporters from an automobile outside Alameda County courthouse and urged the release of Bobby Seale and the Soledad brothers. He pledged to approach the United Nations for Eldridge Cleaver, who fled the country after a police shootout. Cleaver remains wanted on bail and parole violations. Newton, once minister of defense for the Black Panther Party, had been convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 1968 shooting of Oakland officer John Frey but the appeals court ordered a new trial. His Sept. 25 retrial date was set by Judge Harold Howe.

Five Years Under Voting Rights Act A Record So Far
Five years after Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, black voter registration in the six covered Southern states has nearly doubled from 72 to 540 elected positions. The act suspended literacy tests and allowed federal registrars to assist, boosting minority participation while eliciting criticism from some conservative politicians.

Fire and bombardment suspend U S airstrip near Laos border
Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces opened fire with mortars on a U S airstrip at Kham Duc near the Laotian border, forcing a temporary halt in air traffic. The base, reopened in July after Vietnamese forces overran it in 1968, faced fresh attacks as American B 52s and C 123 transports supported a broad operation along the Laotian frontier. Casualties were reported elsewhere, with American losses mounting but the Kham Duc strike leaving no reported fatalities at the airstrip itself.

Boycott Proved Decisive in Grape Growers Capitulation
Delano California United Press International reports the five year grape labor struggle led not by a mass strike but a nationwide boycott organized by Cesar Chavez and the UFWOC. Outside support from AFL CIO figures aided gains, culminating in three quarters of California table grapes under union contracts with growers agreeing to $1.75 per hour minimum pay and 30 cents per box incentive in many settlements.
