Boy Scouts may keep girls from membership, Oregon judge rules
In Portland, Circuit Judge Clifford B. Olsen ruled that girls need not be admitted to Boy Scouts of America. He dismissed Roberta A. Schwenk's $100 damages claim for her daughter Carla, saying Oregon sex discrimination law does not apply to private organizations like the Scouts. The decision counters the claim that public accommodations law would require broader inclusion.

Israel asks U S not to be pushy over peace talks
Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon urged the United States to avoid pressure tactics in a proposed Middle East peace plan. He said negotiations with Egypt should proceed with patience and good offices from the U S, not American ideas imposed on the parties. Egypt indicated willingness to resume talks on a disengagement accord in the Sinai, while U S discussions then centered on Ford administration plans for a second pact.
