ICC Knew in Advance of Penn Central Crisis
Senate testimony shows the ICC warned of Penn Central’s cash crisis eight months before bankruptcy while reporting the railroad was in strong financial condition. Officials cited indications in fall 1969 as Penn Central sought short term credits, with tacit admission of zero working capital and a prolonged financial weakness into 1968.

Antiwar Senators Protest to FCC Networks Time Refusal
A bipartisan group of 14 senators filed a formal complaint with the FCC alleging ABC NBC and CBS refused to sell time for antiwar messages opposing Vietnam. They urged equal access to respond to Nixon broadcasts, citing a First Amendment issue and planning court action if needed. The group had raised $365,000 for a nationwide ad campaign denied by the networks.

Missouri Community Rejects School Tax Levy for Fifth Time
In Hickman Mills Missouri voters again rejected a pair of school tax proposals, defeating a 70 cent operating levy and a 75 cent building levy for the fifth time in four months. Turnout rose but only 50.6 percent approved, as opponents filed court challenges and board members faced calls to resign. The measures would raise $6.80 per $100 assessed value to fund teacher pay, new hires, and school upkeep.
