A nationwide wave of civil rights protests unfolds from New York to California with mobs, boycotts, and sit-ins.

Demonstrators totaled over 630 as they marched without incident. Other cities report sit-ins at auto agencies, demands for minority hiring, and clashes over integration plans. Separate actions include life imprisonment for a Canadian gardener in North Vancouver after a Robbery, and New York City police imposing traffic regulations to deter CORE road jams at the World’s Fair.

Brooke asserts roads take backseat to people in highway dispute
Attorney General Edward W Brooke accused Governor Peabody of confusing the highway issue by alleging delays. Brooke said public works and other agencies have long underpaid property owners and that a Holyoke court-ordered halt on 175 parcels shows state law and earlier agreements demand fair compensation. The governor and Peabody blame Brooke for slowing the program, while Brooke insists postponement harms residents and that the governor bears responsibility.
