The piece argues the newly proposed Department of Housing and Urban Development will tighten Washington’s links with major cities, challenging local initiative but reflecting growing federal urban involvement.

A letter to The Banner urges action against stolen pets used by laboratories. It summarizes proposed federal measures by Representatives Resnick Pepper Wolff and Senators Clark Magnuson, requiring licenses for suppliers and institutions, humane care standards, five day hold before resale, uniform sale records, end to sale by weight or at public auction, and penalties up to ten thousand dollars or a year in jail. The writer, Mrs. William A Parks of Cape Neddick, Me, asks readers to contact their congressmen to sponsor similar bills.
Landgrove writer traces Mark Twain’s caustic satire of S Watson Royston alias G Ragsdale McClintock and the Yale Review piece The Enemy Conquered.
